About Alex

Alex, a lifestyle property owner, understands the rural community. He is an avid supporter of rural life and focuses on selling the benefits of lifestyle and rural living for both buyers and seller’s. Through the extensive Ray White industry network, Alex will draw upon a large buyer pool and provide impeccable customer service with strong negotiating power and a ‘get it done’ attitude. His background of building and leading a successful local sports organisation prior to starting his Real Estate career, has ensured he is a well-recognised figure around Northland and his a broad network of solid relationships, which is an asset for his clients. Over his time as an agent Alex believes he has learnt one very valuable lesson – in order to maximise the value of a property it’s important to have a good, honest relationship with your agent. He has built some strong relationships with his clients (both buyers and vendors) and has worked to develop good, solid plans for selling properties which has ensured vendors maximise the value of their number one asset. Putting his clients first means Alex develops relationships to achieve results – “its not always about business, but understanding what motivates and drives people” - by taking the time to listen, Alex delivers. Values are important to Alex and his success is a direct result of this. His mantra – “to do the best for others and just be a good bugger”! Alex’s drive and motivation to succeed ensures quality results. What Alex's clients say about him... "When Alex came along and offered to market our property we were agreeable as we wanted to move on. Because we had other agencies over the last two years failing to sell we were a little skeptical of Alex’s claim on selling. However to our surprise and gratification Alex sold the property after only five weeks from when he began seriously marketing it and at a price that was much larger than we were expecting. We now mention Alex’s name at any opportunity as the agent to go to when selling rural property."

Alex is great at his job and gets the job done!

Alex is great at his job and gets the job done. Alex is great at marketing a property and utilizes social media to increase exposure of a property to potential buyers. Alex was great at communicating with us and kept us updated throughout the process. Alex kept the negotiation process going forward with momentum and kept both the purchaser and ourselves engaged. Alex is your man if you are looking to sell in the rural or lifestyle sector. Thanks Alex was a real pleasure doing business with you. Mike & Natalie Coyne MicNat Farms Ltd

Seamless Hikurangi purchase

Alex was really good at helping us find the right property for us. The entire process from open home to extra viewing and negotiation of the purchase was easy, Alex listened and understood our situation and financial position and made it happen. We will miss seeing Alex at open homes now that we have purchased.

Second successful sale by Alex

This was the second successful rural sale in Northland completed for us by Alex. Both sales took some time to find a buyer and conclude. Sales pricing was below initial appraisal, but it has been a difficult market. Good to have the process concluded
