About David

“I have always been interested in the property market. Having bought and sold many times before moving into Real Estate myself, I know the many stresses and pitfalls that are associated with the buying and selling process. It is one time that you do need sound advice. You do need an objective opinion. You do need to have someone working for you who is a skilled negotiator and dedicated professional. You also need to be able to discuss options with someone who has “been there and done that”. I can make the buying and selling process not only rewarding for you, but can make it a “hassle free” experience that delivers the results you want. Read Less David’s strengths and personality • Customer focused • Extensive sales background • Listening to people’s needs – objective advice • High work ethic – people first • Confident negotiator • Committed to achieving results • Extensive property knowledge • Available 7 days a week • After sales service David’s career and achievements: Prior to embarking on a Real Estate career, David was involved in the Travel and Tourism Industry for over 20 years. In that Industry, his experience embraced the roles of Travel Agent, providing inflight services for Ansett, airline sales for the Government and latterly, managing a leading private training establishment offering training to the airline and tourism industry. All in all, a comprehensive background in an industry that prospers on quality customer service, which is so very much akin to the Real Estate Industry. David has bought and sold a number of properties himself so is familiar and sympathetic to the stresses of buying and selling. He is also adept at home renovating and offers an insight and ideas to his clients in respect of opportunities for enhancing the value of their personal home or investment property. In his first year in Real Estate alone, David exceeded $15 million in Residential Sales and has performed consistently well ever since. His willingness to get the Job done and deliver a result that pleases is what has led to his success in Real Estate. “I am only happy that a good job has been done, when my customers are happy – this is the work benchmark I have always applied.” Apart from a very busy and happy family life, which occupies the majority of his time outside Real Estate, David has travelled extensively in the past and travel figures highly on his priority list for the future. That is of course secondary to assisting you in achieving your personal Real Estate dreams. David’s interests and passions: “I love to travel. Having been in the travel & tourism industry for many years before entering into Real Estate, it has always been so much a part of my life. I am a “big city” person and love the bright lights of all the big cities of the world. New York, London and Hong Kong are particular favourites. I’m not really the safari type – although I do want to take my family to the Northern Territory of Australia as the wildlife there is some of the best in the world.” “I really love my work though – and I think this is what sets a very good Real Estate agent apart from the rest. You have to want to be involved in what you are doing and what’s going on and not just see it as a job. I wouldn’t want to do anything else.” Whether it’s first home buyers with all the questions in the world or the astute investor who wants a quick sale. You have to be prepared to step right in and meet the expectation from day one”. “I am very much a family man also – and as mentioned, any time not involved with work is dedicated to my family. My wife and I, together with our three children Harrison, Phoebe and Charlotte, try and have at least a few breaks throughout the year – just go away for a night or two to recharge the batteries. There are so many places close to Wellington that you can get to for a break. It’s a great place to live.”

Great communication, advice and market knowledge

I definitely felt in safe hands with David. Having both bought and sold property with David I have found him to be a pleasure to work with. His invaluable experience and knowledge plus energy and enthusiasm to get results means I have no hesitation to recommend him as an agent.

A wonderful experience

A wonderful experience

We had such a great experience with David. We were a bit nervous about taking the plunge with upsizing property, especially in such a tough market. But David was very positive about our house and was clearly able to articulate the pros of selling in this market for us. He was patient and kind while we looked at houses to buy and then really motivated and positive when it came to marketing our current house. David clearly communicated the process, what we needed to do and what he would be doing at every step. He kept things very positive and light hearted and we had a lot of laughs along the way. We felt our property was marketed well and we got lots of buyers through, giving it the best shot at being seen by the right people. We sold quickly and for a great price and came out with essentially our best case scenario. Not bad in a down turned market in the middle of winter! I would not hesitate to use David again.

We came to David (again!) because we knew he would work his calm magic, and he did!

David is an experienced operator. Great communication, great market knowledge, great negotiation skills, very polished and professional. Tick tick tick. But added to that: We were very nervous selling in winter, in a tricky Wellington market, but David was reassuring and confident just when we needed it. No rosey story, he tells it as it is, but he is steady. We know that when it comes to selling a house, it comes down to who comes through the door on the day, but we had every confidence that all interested parties were followed up with and all relevant info passed on efficiently. He was available when we needed him and he always replied quickly to any queries from us. We are so grateful to David for his work ethic and sector smarts. It is such a pleasure working with someone who actually does what they say they are going to do. Everything just went as smoothly as it possibly could. Added to that, we are thrilled with the a positive outcome: a swift sale at a good price. We would have no hesitation calling on David with any future property sale needs.

David sold us this house a few years ago, so we had no qualms reconnecting for the sale. David kept us informed along the process . Buyer had challenges with releasing funds from overseas, resulting in ongoing delays. We had constant reassurance and communication ( after every open home) and honest assessments. David was quick to respond to any questions. He is so dapper and friendly. His experience is evident. Highly recommend.
