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.

UNDER CONTRACT
We see a lot of real estate and occasionally we come across a property that makes us stop and look at each other and say "Wow this is something different, refreshingly different, it's exciting!"
Positioned 8.5 km from Waipu Village you are greeted with a piece of the countryside that could be bound into a storybook. Seaviews, thick native bush, a row of pasture, natural ancient limestone rocks and even caves. And the bird life is something else!
Amongst it all is an architectural home designed by local architect Adam Welford. The brief; to have a home that would truly connect to its unspoilt natural surrounds. Its gentle boomerang shape coupled with vaulted ceilings and huge tall windows pay compliment to the immediate environment, literally bringing nature right back into the home. It's a veritable feast for the eyes wherever you turn.
The main living area displays a breath taking panorama, the iconic sea view is the star of the show, with a huge elevated deck taking centre stage. A large office, which could be used as a fourth bedroom or rumpus room, is at the very end and opens to a lush grassy glade amongst the trees. Practicalities are well taken care of in the contemporary kitchen which is loaded with storage, an island and gorgeous scenery from its window.
The far wing holds the three bedrooms and bathroom with a superb master bedroom that feels almost cantilevered amongst the trees. With a gigantic floor to ceiling window that funnels the orange glow of sunrise right across your bed.
You may never see a property like this again. Packed with goodness, it will nourish the soul and provide a balanced county life like no other.
See it, want it, buy it...before someone else discovers it.
