About Adam

As the team’s dedicated equine expert, he’s especially in tune with the unique needs of horse-friendly properties—whether it’s paddock layout, fencing, or facilities, he speaks your language (and your horse’s). Before entering real estate, Adam owned and operated a franchise fencing business and worked in Dunedin for Downer Construction. Sales run deep in his family—his mother and stepfather, Bobbie and Paul Sumner, have been Harcourts NZ's Number 1 Rural & Lifestyle sales team for six consecutive years. His grandfather also having over 60 years of sales experience. A proud lifelong Hamiltonian, Adam grew up in Glenview and attended Hillcrest High School. His strong local roots have helped him build a wide-reaching network and many lasting relationships. He also competed in cricket at a high level, representing Hamilton, Northern Districts, and Otago, and even played in the UK. The discipline, teamwork, and competitive edge developed through sport have shaped his proactive, solution-focused business approach. Outside of work, Adam enjoys life with his partner and their two daughters, Ayla and Blayke. Known for his attention to detail, excellent listening skills, and approachable nature, Adam is committed to delivering top-quality service to every client.

We highly recommend Adam, Lyall, Pyper and the team at Harcourts for their exceptional work and guidance throughout our property selling journey.

Excellence from start to finish

Adam handled the lead up to the house going on the market with patience, and an empathetic understanding of the enormity of the decision to sell. Once the house was on the market, we were kept informed of market interest and house viewings by regular text messages, emails and calls. His handling of the auction process was professional and ensured a successful sale. Thank you to the whole of Team Sumner.

Great communication and proactive approach to selling the property

Great communication and proactive approach to selling the property

Was very happy with Adam and team with regards to selling my property. They were efficient at getting the property listed and worked hard to meet some tight deadlines that we had to get the property on the market. Once on the market they efficiently brought perspective buyers through the property prior to open homes commencing resulting in an early offer and sale.
