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.
There is loads to admire about this handsome four/five bedroom home in Hataitai, one of Wellington's most sought after suburbs.
The moment you walk through the character filled entrance you are struck by how light and welcoming the home feels. The high stud and gorgeous timber features leads you to the 'piece de resistance'. The spacious open plan kitchen and living room with its amazing views of Evans Bay and Eastern Hills. These same views are offered from the master suite. The property ticks most boxes for family living, with the flat lawn on one side and sheltered area or the other that enjoys the last of the sun, ideal for outdoor entertaining.
Plenty of room for the cars, bikes, kayaks and golf clubs with a double garage, one off street park (two at a push) and a large dry basement.
To top this all off the location is amazing being so close to the eastern suburb's great amenities (walking distance to most) including the waterfront, schools, parks, hospital and transport.
