While the services of a real estate agent mightn't be needed in twelve months or even ten years' time, life has nevertheless taught me our needs change as time passes and our circumstances can change with little more than a heartbeat's notice.
So when the time comes to find a larger home for a growing family or downsize to a smaller more practical one, it would be a privilege to help.
I'm proud to say I come from a working-class background, the son of Greek migrants who came to this country for a better life in the earlier part of the twentieth century.
My father was employed as a process worker at a local motor vehicle componentry factory in the eastern suburbs while my mother was the home-maker for our family.
The work ethic I inherited from my parents combined with my experience in sales and advertising at Television New Zealand will provide confidence in working with me.
I've had the responsibility of marketing a wide range of properties across many price bands, with career achievements extending to multiple awards for customer satisfaction.
Outside of real-estate, part of my spare time is spent in volunteer work for the Samaritans organisation supporting their 24/7 helpline, 0800 726 666.
