Bryan Walmsley

Growing up, working and raising four children with my wife Chris, all on the North Shore has taught me how fortunate we are to live and work in this fantastic location. To quote Fred Dagg “We don’t know how lucky we are.” Early in my career I worked in the advertising industry which provided me with the knowledge of how best to market a property. I then moved on to building quality houses on the North Shore from Devonport through to Browns Bay and still have a real interest in building practice and construction. From there it was a natural progression to a career selling both commercial and residential property on the North Shore and for the past twenty years that’s what I’ve been doing. When not selling real estate I indulge in my other passions-boating, fishing and sailing. Real estate in one form or another has been my main focus for the past 40 years and I am still passionate about it. Selling houses gives me the opportunity to deal with a large number of people, the goal always being to conclude the sale of a property with a happy seller and a happy buyer. Integrity and honesty coupled with a commitment to always give 100% is how I achieve this. If I can help you with any property related task please give Sam or myself a call and we will dedicate our time, energy and experience to your requirements.
