About Paul

Although my formative years were spent in the Waikato and Manawatu, my Wife’s family roots are in the beautiful Hawke's Bay so returning to New Zealand after 3 decades working in Europe and Asia, ultimately as an executive officer for a Highly successful, multi-billion dollar global company, making Havelock North our home felt just perfect. Additionally, it is no difficult task to persuade our 3 adult children to spend time with their Mum and Dad in the Bay when-ever they can. Even though we know we have been fortunate to have experienced much of what the world has to offer, in our view, in terms of overall life balance, there is no equal to this exquisite corner of the earth we call home. We thoroughly enjoy this community with its combination of small rural town values with an openness borne from a genuine appreciation and curiosity of what the world has to offer. The Bay is such a great place for foodies and when I am not trying to make one of my many guitars replicate the amazing tones of Eric Clapton, I am creating culinary delights from the first class ingredients we have available on our doorstep. So there is always plenty of interesting and challenging things to do. I count myself privileged that my career not only exposed me to working with wonderful people from all over the world, but in order for me to have achieved success at the highest level, I developed the critical skills that were required. In my leadership role I was also able to instil and promote the essential values into the organisation, necessary for it to be able to sustain its industry leadership position and be respected by all of its stakeholders. Buying and selling a property, is often the biggest and one of the most important decisions we make during our adult lives, and I believe my key work attributes developed over time make me a great partner to those looking to buy and sell property successfully. Not only do I understand the importance of hard work, fact based decision making and accurate and timely communication, the underlying principles that are part of my fabric, integrity and fairness are essential for trust to be possible. I know I and our wonderful team at Harcourts Havelock North will be able to make your real estate experience as great as it can be, so I look forward to the opportunity to demonstrate this.

Paul was great to work with. Great communication, warm and friendly, and made the whole process easy. Paul showed us around multiple properties to help us gain an understanding of the market- super helpful for a first home buyer! Thanks for your help, Paul.

Awesome Agent

Paul impressed us from the moment we first met him. His enthusiasm and positivity was exactly what we were looking for to sell our property. His advice and help in preparing our house was invaluable and when it came to market he kept us fully up todate on all happenings. We would highly recommend Paul to anyone who wants an agent who is as invested in your property as much as you are and ensures your dreams come true. Thanks for everything Paul

The Best Real Estate agent!

The Best Real Estate agent!

We met a number of agents through the process of appraising our property. Quickly realised Paul was the most enthusiastic and positive so we entrusted him sole agency. Really glad we did, he proved to be amazingly diligent and hard working, didn't let up on open homes until our contract went unconditional. He relentlessly followed up on all interest in our property, and skilfully negotiated a satisfactory sale outcome for us. Well done Paul!

Super Knowledgable, Competent and Friendly.

Super Knowledgable, Competent and Friendly.

Ten out of ten all the way from our initial contact in August until settlement (on another property in Havelock North) in early December. Paul made us feel very special. He truly cares about his clients. He is such a genuine, honest and super friendly agent. Paul was always looking out for a property for us as potential purchasers and contacted us when he found a property that he thought would suit us, even though it wasn't his listing (which is the one we ended up purchasing). No other agent or company ever got back to us in the four months of visiting open homes over the Spring of 2025. The whole sale process was smooth and hassle free. We would highly recommend Paul. He is a real asset to Harcourts. Thank you, Paul.

Paul is very accommodating. He has always kept us in the loop. Will do anything for anyone at the drop of a hat. And always had a smile on his face. If you want a genuine agent who makes the whole process stress free, we highly recommend Paul to be your agent. Thank you for everything Paul :)
