Although his real estate career has been served mostly in Wellington he has also managed a sales team in Raumati for a three-year term in the 1990’s. Mike has also trained as property auctioneer.
During his career, Mike has become a strong advocate for not only home ownership but also for real estate as an investment option. His passion for investment real estate is supported by the fact that he is a property investor himself so he speaks from a position of strength when advising clients on the benefits of establishing a property portfolio as a retirement fund.
A family man, Mike’s leisure time is centred around his wife of 30 years and 2 children. He is an avid follower of most sports and has coached hundreds of children at rugby, cricket, soccer, water polo and miniball. He has coached rugby at a high level in Wellington and overseas and also received an All Black nomination when playing.
"As a family orientated person, I can identify for my clients the services and necessities for family living both in a particular home and in your chosen suburb. I am also staunch in my belief that property is the safest and most reliable form of medium to long term investment and have invested myself for the long-term benefit of my family. I would welcome the opportunity of sharing my research and experience with anyone interested in the real estate market."
One of my proudest real estate achievements was the selling of Wellington’s most expensive house of $5,700,000.
This charming circa 1920 home, currently configured as two self-contained flats, offers a unique opportunity to either enjoy as is or renovate back into a spacious single-family home, with the original stairwell still in place.
The main home upstairs features two bedrooms with lovely character details and has been partially renovated, including new carpet and a modern bathroom. It's comfortable throughout, allowing you to live in it and love it as it is, or use your own creative style to continue enhancing it to your taste.
The downstairs flat is a stylishly renovated one-bedroom unit, designed for modern living, with a private courtyard for outdoor enjoyment.
Nestled in a well-established cul-de-sac, this lovely home enjoys great sun and a pleasant outlook across the suburb to the city. It is located away from the hustle and bustle, yet close to everything you need. Melrose Park and play area are just a few metres away, and the bus stop is conveniently around the corner. Shopping centres in Newtown and Kilbirnie, the Airport, eastern beaches, and the city are all within easy reach with a choice of routes.
This property is perfect for those looking to live in one unit and rent the other for additional income.
