Barry was a foundation member of Pelorus Real Estate when that company opened for business in 1999 and for 13 years was engaged with success in commercial real estate sales and leasing. His move into residential real estate followed his perception that there are more opportunities in the residential arena for him to pursue with Tommy’s and it is a sector of the real estate market with which he has a close affinity. Barry’s working career embraces some 35 years in sales and marketing and he has won various sales awards for his achievements. He has run his own companies and has managed significant numbers of employees; evidence of his ability to relate to people, understand their needs and to manage their expectations. Barry has proven negotiation skills; a quality that is so important in today’s real estate world. Whilst working in the commercial sector, Barry developed his expertise in sourcing and selling development opportunities and this experience has flowed through to the residential arena with resulting benefits for his clients. A resident of Ngaio/Khandallah for much of his life and a family man with 3 daughters, Barry knows Wellington and understands the housing needs of the people. He has a keen interest in sport and is a past president of the Mount Victoria Lawn Bowls Club, and a current member of the Collegians Cricket Club.

Awesome approach & result!

Hey Barry, Thanks so much for everything you did at your end - including dealing with my slight reluctance to be selling it at all!! Of course when people are using a property on a more personal level than just business, there is a more complex relationship to manage so it was good that you were not just a numbers man but also a bit of psychologist. As the person who was generally the chief organiser for the property over much of the time I would also like to say how much we enjoyed your approach, and appreciate the result. Best wishes Denise
