PGG Wrightson Real Estate Ltd Hamilton

New Zealand No 3 Lifestyle Salesperson 2025/2026 With over 10 years’ experience in rural property sales, I bring together current practical farming knowledge, 10+ years of strong negotiation skills, extensive connections/network and an honest hard-working approach to every property I represent. Born and bred in the country, I come from a family of generational farmers so working hard and getting stuck in, is second nature to me. I'm an ex-Dairy Farmer, now farming Drystock with real hands-on experience across a range of soil types from clay to peat to pumice and many systems from all grass to intensive zero grazing. I spent 16 successful years 50/50 sharemilking, finishing up with 800 registered pedigree Jersey cows. Having spent my entire life farming, I understand the realities behind the farm gate. I know how demanding calving can be, the challenges of finding and retaining good staff and as an AB Technician I know the importance of mating decisions and the business that runs around the clock. I don’t just sell rural; I live this life too. That experience gives me a genuine appreciation of what matters to rural families and the importance of understanding each property's story. Today I live on a drystock property with my family. My wife, Christine, also works alongside me, supporting the administrative side of my real estate business. Outside of Real Estate you’ll find me diving, fishing, motorbike riding and more often than not, out on the farm.
