About Derek

After owning a holiday home in Taupō for more than two decades I already knew what many have since discovered: Taupō is an incredible place to live, invest, and call home. That insight led me to make the move permanently. I successfully managed one of Taupō’s larger real estate offices for more than 15 months and have now moved back into a sales role where I bring both local insight and proven results to every transaction. I have over two decades of experience and more than $500 million worth of property sales behind me. My background in sales and finance means I’m highly analytical, systems-driven, and renowned for my attention to detail. A large proportion of my clients return or refer others to me, obviously a reflection of the calm, steadying influence I bring during what can often be a stressful process. I am persuasive and respectful when it comes to negotiation, ensuring no stone is left unturned in achieving the best possible price. Instead of pressuring my clients to accept less, I will continue engaging buyers until I am certain we’ve reached the strongest outcome. Here in Taupō, I combine this determination with forward-thinking marketing and innovative strategies to connect with the widest pool of buyers. The result? A seamless, rewarding experience and the confidence that your property is in the best hands. If you’re considering selling in Taupō or simply want to understand the market, let’s connect – I’d love to show you how I can add maximum value to your property journey.

Very professional, excellent communicator, thoughtful making it pleasant experience.

Derek is a very professional person. Very passionate about his job and went that extra mile in getting information about the house, even before he had the contract. He kept us up to date with recent sales. Was very easy to work with and communicated well. It was a real pleasure to have him on board selling our house. Thank you.

Derek's informative feedback was incredibly helpful and made me aware of the market

Derek kept me informed of potential and non potential buyers feedback, comments and thoughts. The information he provided to me was completely invaluable, he assisted me to act as executor for an estate, a job I had no previous experience of and he gave me information that I would not otherwise know of. He was at all times professional, personable and easy to work with, he truly made the experience a positive one and made my job so much easier. Thanks Derek
