About Gary

Waikato born and bred, Gary spent his childhood growing up on dairy farms in the Waikato and Thames. After qualifying as an electrician and living in the UK, he returned to New Zealand and leased a dairy farm with 150 cows. Gary has been through the process of climbing through the dairy farming ranks to buying his own farm. In 2006, Gary became part of a New Zealand farm syndicate in Chile, which used New Zealand dairy practices to run the farms. By 2019, the farm extended to 4000 hectares, with 7500 cows milked. The farm also ran 2500 beef units, and had 1000 hectares planted in crops. From 2016 Gary spent around six months a year in Chile, personally participating in the project, and leaving him with extensive experience in a variety of agricultural fields. In 2014 to 2016 Gary sold agriculture machinery for Claas Harvest Centre, gaining valuable insight into that aspect of the farming industry. Having obtained his Real Estate sales licence in 2019, Gary is now positioned to share his wealth of agricultural knowledge to assist clients looking to sell or buy rural and lifestyle properties across the Waikato region.

Gary was nothing but professional in our dealings with him.

There was a considerable gap between the vendors expectations and what the market was prepared to pay. Gary had a difficult job to do the right thing by the vendor, in terms of getting the best price for them, and what we were prepared to go to. As such Gary had to do a lot of leg work to get the deal done. He was professional at all times, and was a very good communicator. Note: I have below "ticked" the final sale price was worse than our expectations, that is not a slight on Gary. That is simply where we saw the market price, and the expectations of the vendor. The gap was bridged, and at the end of the day we are comfortable with the price we paid.

More than we could have ever have hoped for from one agent.

Gary, through Harcourts, has sold 4 lifestyle blocks and a farm for us. He has been alongside our family and our farming business for 5 years. He has helped us with advice on the farm, he has set up and helped oversee a lease of the farm and then the final sale. All done with our interest and that of all those involved held as equal to each other in a most trustworthy and honorable manner. He REALLY earnt the commissions in all cases by working hard and gaining the trust of buyers due to his straight up nature. I could always feel easy phoning him and he would always phone back promptly if unable to take the call straight away. We appreciate Gary and hold him in the highest regard as he has helped us immensely, more than ever expected - and for so long. Gary's good nature, commitment and open and clear communication coupled with sound knowledge brings about excellent results - even if it takes an extra couple of years due to the industries challanges. A wonderful man.
