If you have ever had the pleasure of meeting James, you'll quickly understand what separates James from others.
His charisma, enthusiasm, quick wit and upbeat nature are a winning combination. Born in the East of London, you could say it’s in his DNA.
James has been in sales his entire life, for over 27 years, since he was 15 in fact and he’s very good at it. His real estate career began back in 2007 in the face of a recession. Arguably the hardest time to start a career in real estate. On reflection, he says, "It was the best time to start. You had to be tenacious, innovative and think outside the square”
It's that positive can-do attitude that made him rise to become one of the top agents in Bream Bay over his 7-year tenure (2007 - 2014).
In 2014, lured by the mountain biking explosion, he moved to action-packed Rotorua and started all over again. Within 5 years he again became one of the top agents in Town and was awarded top salesperson for Ray White Rotorua, along with other awards for community involvement and the prestigious "Elite" badge only a select few in the Ray White Group internationally achieve.
James has incredible ability to connect and engage with all walks of life. His down to earth manner is his trademark.
James is also a vibrant Auctioneer. It's his passion, and it shows. James thrives on the pressure to perform and he delivers; renowned in the area for setting record street prices time after time.

Located in the "Pall Mall" of Waipu in the highly sought after Nova Scotia River Estate. One of a kind, the original farmhouse built by the early settlers sits upon a flat, elevated 1/2 acre with a view of the Whangarei heads, surrounding hills, a glimpse of the river and even the sand dunes. The sound of the rolling surf on a still night reminds you the coast is close. Walking distance to the village centre, school, river walk and very close to the boat ramp.
The homestead is handsome and deserving of renovation which would make a huge statement in this classy neighbourhood. The glorious wide native timber floorboards are ready to be sanded. High skirtings, doorways and stained glass windows, icons of the bygone era all there and intact. Hidden above the suspended ceiling, the original 12-foot stud ceilings remain. With five bedrooms plus office it's not short on space.
Positioned on an expansive 2,015 sqm site (1/2 acre) providing all the space you could ever want for beautiful gardens and the like. And here's the real clincher! There's a big shed. A very big shed. In fact, at 160 sqm it's a whopper. And with three 3.2 m high roller doors, the boat, the camper, and the classic car have a home too!
There's nothing like it on the market and this is one of a kind in this river estate location. It cannot be replaced. Secure it today.
