Peter Sutton
Residential Sales ConsultantI am a born and bred Southlander firmly entrenched in what I believe is New Zealand’s best province. This love for the province transfers to my private interests and my passion for the outdoors. I am currently a member of The Fish & Game Southland and The NZ Fish & Game council, whose main roll is National Habitat Protection and advocating at a local and national level for the angler and hunter. My working life has nearly always been people orientated. 10 years in The NZ Police afforded me the luxury of meeting a wide and varied cross section of the community. Demands at this level found me looking for change. Real Estate allows me to continue working in the community. Having now had 17 years experience I have had the good fortune to work in all types of markets. This “coal face” knowledge for want of better words allows me to guide you through the buying or selling process with the best of professional advice. I trust that this basic outline will give you a better understanding of the person that you are about to employ.
