Andrew has lived virtually his entire life in Wellington's northern suburbs. He grew up and was educated in the area, and represented it in sport (hockey) and music before attending Victoria University to further his studies in economics and marketing. Hence he displays a thorough knowledge and understanding of the local community's needs, and its people. This is very evident when speaking and working with Andrew.

Without question Andrew is a highly motivated, and very intelligent individual, totally committed to his profession, his clients, and life generally. The absolute professionalism he displays goes well beyond his years, along with his single minded focussed desire to ensure all his clients receive superior service, and to provide support both during the time of the agency, and following its successful completion. This has provided Andrew with the unique reputation of very quickly establishing himself as a person who achieves results that encourage others to work with him, and refer business to him, over and over again. This is clearly supported by the enclosed independent, unsolicited testimonials from past satisfied clients. "Past performance is no guarantee of future success, but what else can you go by?" WHAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE SAYING: "We chose Andrew as our agent because we found him to be well organised and very motivated, and because he has a thorough knowledge of the property market in Wellington, particularly, the northern suburbs. His marketing of our home was of an excellent standard and this was reflected in the high numbers of people who attended each of the open homes, and in the final outcome. Andrew worked with us and kept us well informed of developments at every step of the marketing and sales process. He was even able to provide us with advice regarding the purchase of our new home. We would have no hesitation in recommending Andrew to anyone who is considering selling their home." Kathryn & Ronan O'Toole "Andrew was a great choice as an agent, he was always willing to give things a go "my way" as well as gently guiding me in the right direction. I always felt involved in the decision making process and not that things were out of my hands. Andrew is fantastic at keeping you up to date with where things are at, always courteous, helpful and obliging. I would not hesitate to recommend choosing Andrew to market your home for an energetic and honest approach. " Mary Anne Paterson

Helena Lowe

I have lived in the Johnsonville area since 1980 when my husband, Mike and I bought our 1st house. Our 3 children attended Johnsonville West Kindergarten, West Park School, Raroa Intermediate and Onslow College. We chose Johnsonville to make our home because it is so central, being only a 10 or 15 min drive to Wellington, Lower Hutt or Porirua. I have enjoyed working for Harcourts Johnsonville as their Office Administrator since 1996.

Paul Myers

Life for me began right here in Wellington growing up in Island Bay during the wonderful sixties. I was educated at Wellington College and soon after leaving school embarked on a career in the building industry. Upon my marriage I moved to Johnsonville where I have resided since. So you might say I am Wellingtonian through and through. My experience in the building industry and an intimate knowledge of the local Wellington area has provided me with an excellent base for my career in the real estate industry which commenced in 1994. Over the last 14 years I have found it immensely satisfying to be able to meet the need of clients who have entrusted the sale of their home to me under the Harcourts’ banner. Real Estate in my view is all about commitment, excellent marketing strategies and communication, integrity and ethics, coupled with a sense of humour and zest for living. I enjoy meeting and working with people – vendors and purchasers alike. I welcome a challenge and believe if there’s a will there’s almost certainly a way. Diligence and resourcefulness are key factors in my success to date. I have consistently made the top 50 sales agents in the Lower North Island and often achieve a top 20 placing. Family life is important to me. My wife, Marion, is a secondary school teacher. We have a son, Tim, who has a degree in Forestry Science from Canterbury University and is currently working for Tenon NZ, based in Annapolis, Maryland USA. Our daughter Jane is a trained beauty therapist and has recently worked on the Queen Mary II Cruise Ship. I enjoy sports, in particular, rugby, cricket, snooker, golf and fishing. I also enjoy dining out with friends and family. I hope I can be of service to you.
