About Nathan

Hawke’s Bay is my home – after 14 years living overseas, I was proud to be able to bring my wife and four children to my hometown, to raise them in a safe and beautiful part of the world. We are absolutely spoilt in terms of beaches, wineries and events, not to mention great weather.” Raised in Taradale, I moved to Australia when I was 22. Like many Kiwis, I headed to Australia, to make my mark on the world. As a qualified plumber, I started my own business at 24, and at 25, purchased two blocks of land to build a spec home on each. Since then, I have completed several projects, from renovations to new builds, to subdivisions. “This experience has allowed me to have a greater understanding of the real estate market. I’ve learnt what makes a good investment, the pitfalls of getting it wrong, and most importantly how to ensure you get the most out of your property when it comes time to sell.” Giving back to the community is a cornerstone of Nathan's values. For the past four years, Nathan has sponsored NBHS First XV Rugby and First XI Football , as well as supporting Napier Boys High School, Henry Hill School and Westshore Surf Life Saving Club. Real Estate has taught me to think outside the square, be solution focused, generous with my time and always be willing to go the extra mile for my clients. This ensures the result is always the right one.

Licensed Real Estate Agent / Sales & Marketing Consultant

About Shelly

I am confident in bringing a down to earth and practical approach after many years running my own restaurants, ownership in hospitality management and as a previous Board Chair for Hohepa HB. My team up sponsorship with Hohepa HB provides a $500 donation to this great organisation every time I list a home for sale. My husband Mark and I feel very happy to have our daughter Emily reside at Hohepa and her sister Megan an artist and printer, lives and works here in HB. I love to garden, live on a lifestyle block with a dog, some black sheep and a lot of rabbits, so most of the time I fill any spare hours with that, but this business is 24/7 so much of the time I am working for you. Life never plays ball but at least there are rules that apply especially when buying or selling. Maybe it's time to downsize, upgrade or leave town. I have lived in and sold several lifestyle properties so have a good sense of how to sell larger property with all it's hidden extras. However I give the same effort to smaller homes and sections too. It's been a privilege to help my clients so far and I would love to help you on your journey too. Now is always a good time to get an appraisal. And I will arrive with some delicious Hohepa Cheese for you. So why don't you give me a call today and see if I can get you to the next step on your journey?

Nathan was amazing, supporting us from start to finish, alleviating the stress of selling our home.

We totally recommend Nathan and team Abel if you are selling your property. We found Nathan professional and very approachable, he ensured we were comfortable and understood every step of preparing, marketing, and selling our home. Nathan used a number of strategies to market the unique features of our beautiful piece of paradise. An aerial drone and a personal promotion video absolutely highlighted the features of our house nestled between the beach and native bush. Nathan went even further with a video call, where he spent 20mins talking, and walking, an interested overseas buyer through the house, whilst answering all their questions on the spot. We received regular updates with marketing progress, analysing which media options were receiving the best viewing results from potential buyers, and were therefore where the Company were focusing their advertising efforts. Although we had our ideal selling price in mind, Nathan kept us well informed with changes to the property market, and how our property sat within the current market. He also respected our ideals and considered these in his final price negotiations with the buyers. Thank you again Nathan, we appreciated working with a family focused team who share our same family values.

Excellent

We bought our home in Waipatiki Beach while we were still in Australia through Nathan, and the experience was genuinely exceptional from start to finish. Buying remotely could have been high risk, but Nathan completely removed that uncertainty. He ran a very thorough virtual viewing, taking the time to walk us through every part of the property in detail, not just the obvious areas, but the things you would normally check in person. He answered questions honestly, showed different angles, and never rushed the process, which gave us real confidence in what we were buying. What really set him apart was the effort he went to in helping us understand the location. He didn’t just show us the house, he jumped on his quad bike and “took” us down to the beach and around the surrounding area so we could properly experience Waipatiki Beach remotely. That level of care and initiative made a huge difference. Throughout the process, Nathan was responsive, clear in his communication, and easy to deal with. He was organised, kept things moving, and made sure we always knew what was happening next. There was no pressure, just a very steady and professional approach. Buying a property from overseas is not straightforward, but Nathan made it feel seamless. We always felt we were in safe hands and could trust the process. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

Selling my house with Nathan and his team was an incredibly smooth and stress free experience. Their support was exceptional every step of the way - nothing was ever too hard, every challenge had a solution, and every step was handled with genuine care. They were proactive, reassuring, and always one step ahead, making the entire process feel effortless. I felt fully supported, informed, and confident in their expertise. I couldn’t have asked for better! Thank you team.
