Daniel Mahon

Since graduating from Massey University my professional life has revolved around sales – from the grocery industry to medical suppliers, culminating in a move to Real Estate, my career has been focused on creating and developing relationships, promoting products and brands, and, most importantly, understanding the needs of each individual purchaser, and connecting them with the product they need. At the end of the day I’ve learnt that a successful career in Real Estate really does revolve around your ability to relate to people – to develop trust and rapport, to take the time to genuinely listen to each individual client, and to be prepared to go the extra mile to achieve results for those people who have entrusted you with their property dreams. Persistence and determination have greatly defined my career to date, and I believe my commitment to working every angle, including buyers AND sellers, rather than concentrating solely on listings, has generated results that other agents often miss completely. I’m passionate about property, and cherish the fact that I work in an industry that allows me to meet and interact with new people each and every day. I choose to see the positives in every situation, and believe the prospects and opportunities that face Cantabrians in the coming years are energizing and challenging, and I am excited to be a part of it! Give me a call anytime to discuss how my open-minded, determined and committed approach to Real Estate can help you achieve your goals.

Deb Beesley

It is no secret that buying and selling property can be an emotional and time consuming exercise. So it goes without saying that you will want to choose a salesperson you can rely on and relate to. Honesty, integrity and trustworthiness are just a few qualities you expect, but it’s just as important the person possesses excellent marketing, listening and negotiating skills. It is critical they remain objective, professional yet personable and focused throughout. Deb Beesley possesses these qualities and more… Prior to joining Harcourts Grenadier in November 2002, Deb worked for over 20 years in customer service, public relations and marketing roles. Deb held marketing and management positions and knows what it takes to succeed in highly competitive industries where many appear to offer the same. Real Estate is one such industry and at first glance it may be hard to define excellence from very good. However Deb (and her growing list of happy clients) know there is a big difference. Deb is passionate about marketing and customer service and understands the power of a great brand, linked to the best systems, with an unsurpassed support network of people to ensure the very best result every time. There are no hype or false promises when you deal with Deb. No slick sales pitch or scare tactics. She knows that successful property transactions require an intelligent, planned and coordinated approach. You can trust Deb to commit and dedicate herself to the important task or fulfilling your Real Estate dreams. She has a true and natural enthusiasm for her chosen career.
