Yes, I’m from England, but now definitely a Kiwi! What am I doing here? I fell in love with New Zealand during a business trip from the UK. The whole country was great, but one place was unbeatable: Auckland’s North Shore. It was a case of love at first sight. By 2004, I was back for good, with my wife Natalie. We’ve lived in British beauty-spots like Dorset and the Isle of Wight, but nowhere on earth beats the Shore and its Bays. We’re here to stay. I have now been in Real Estate with Harcourts for over 5 years, I feel confident that my experience, through good markets and bad, across the whole of The North Shore, and ethical and straightforward nature can help anybody to achieve their Real Estate dreams.
