About Tiaan
Tiaans journey into real estate began from the ground up. Whilst working as an industrial electrician for 12 years, he developed a passion for property through his own hands-on projects such as, an award winning renovation, the completion of a townhouse development and multiple spec builds, further fuelling his drive for all things property. Now, Tiaan brings the same energy, discipline, and passion he has put into his own projects to his clients. Offering a practical, knowledgeable, and straight-talking approach to buying and selling real estate. Young, driven, and focused, he understands real estate from both sides of the deal. Whether you’re buying or selling your home he will guide you with confidence, insight, and integrity. A true-people person, Tiaan prides himself on his ability to connect with people of all ages and from all walks of life. Tiaan was born in South Africa and moved to the Selwyn region which he believes is an excellent place to live with so much opportunity and growth ahead. Outside of real estate, Tiaan values family time with his wife Kelsey and daughter Novalie. When not working, he enjoys playing golf with his mates, getting out on the lake with the boat, and making the most of his downtime with friends and family.

Excellent Service and a Quick Sale

We had a great experience working with Tiaan selling our house in Prebbleton. After struggling to get results with another agent, Tiaan got things moving quickly and achieved a sale. He was friendly, easy to deal with and kept communication great throughout the process. He also had plenty of ideas on how best to market our particular property. Highly recommend Tiaan to anyone looking to sell!

He was a fantastic communicator throughout, always keeping us informed and making himself available whenever we had questions. What really stood out to us was how honest and transparent he was. We always felt like we could trust him, and it genuinely felt like he wanted to work with us. Tiaan made us feel comfortable and supported throughout the entire process, which meant so much to us.

Smooth & Professional Buying Experience

Tiaan showed us a lifestyle property on the outskirts of Rolleston. He was very professional and helpful, and we ended up purchasing it. We would thoroughly recommend Tiaan to anyone trying to buy a lifestyle block.
