What gets me out of bed in the morning? Getting the best results I can for my vendors, buyers, staff and everyone else I work with. I started my career in real estate at 19 in South Africa and took to the profession like a duck to water. I've spent years honing my skills and since moving with my family to New Zealand I've seen great success in the industry. I've been the manager of Barfoot & Thompson Howick since 2005 and my staff and I love serving the people within our community. I'm passionate about changing the perception of real estate agents by always acting with empathy and authenticity. Trust is paramount to selling and buying homes and all vendors and buyers should feel like the agent is acting in their best interest. I'm also excited to pass everything I've learned onto the next generation of real estate agents and grow my team into phenomenal real estate professionals. In my time I've taken branches from 43rd ranked in the country to 1st ranked, with a relentless commitment to excellence.
