I feel fortunate to have grown up in a farming family on the outskirts of a small rural town in the Far North with Mum, Dad, and my three siblings. It is from these humble beginnings that sparked the satisfaction I feel from good, honest, hard work.
From becoming head boy of my High School, to accepting an offer to become part of the New Zealand Army as an Officer, then furthering my education at Massey University have all led me to where I am today. All these parts of my life have taught me skills such as teamwork, leadership, and time management among many others.
I moved to Wellington over 14 years ago and pursued a career in Real Estate shortly after, having now had my license for over 12 years. A drive to carry out real estate at the highest level still lights a fire within me. I couldn’t think of a career I would rather be involved in. Any awards won or recognition garnered is just a bonus.
Outside of Real Estate, I live in Wellington with my wife Amy and my son Kiaan. Becoming a Dad has been my greatest achievement to date. I am a social person and have a good sense of humor - I have been known to pull a few harmless pranks in my time!
I find great enjoyment in physical exercise; I have represented to a regional and national level in Swimming, Rugby and Triathlons. Currently, I pursue Crossfit as an outlet for energy where I have competed among the best in NZ. Being a little older now, I would be the first to admit it is getting a little harder to compete with the guys 10 – 15 years my junior (especially trying to work through a long-standing niggling injury). My discipline, determination, and mental fortitude needed to succeed in sport carry directly through to the real estate industry, helping me to stay very focused throughout the sale until completion and achieve the best result for clients.
Positioned a short walk to the centre of Karori, sun, privacy and location are only three of the paramount attributes attached to living at 8 Collier Avenue. Built in 1949 and standing the test of time well. The solidity of build is only matched by modern creature comforts. Quality investments have been undertaken, including seven heat pumps to ensure that all and sundry is warm and comfortable all year round.
Four bedrooms over two levels are complimented by two living spaces and two centrally located bathrooms (one on each of the two levels). The second living space can easily be converted into a fifth bedroom as needs permit. A separate and spacious laundry room can also be found downstairs along with a workshop area.
Recent renovations allow the new owners to move in and enjoy their new home and convenient location with minimal stress and fuss. Children and pets will love the 506 sqm of very useable land. Mum and Dad can keep an eye on proceedings from the kitchen or sunny north facing deck as they enjoy a hot or cold beverage.
Parking is well accommodated by way of a single garage plus a double car pad. The bus stop is only a stone throw away.
Zoned for the likes of Wellington College, Wellington Girls and Karori West.
The current owners are sad to say goodbye, but a move north to be closer to family is calling, subsequently, this home is genuinely for sale.
