Born and raised in Wellington, I’ve proudly called Hawke’s Bay home since 2005. It’s a region I’ve grown to love for its strong sense of community, relaxed lifestyle, and of course, its beautiful homes.
 
With more than 30 years of experience in Property Law — including 19 years working right here in Hawke’s Bay — I bring a deep understanding of the property process from both a legal and practical perspective. This background allows me to offer my clients a truly comprehensive service, combining professional expertise with genuine care.
 
I’m passionate about helping people achieve their property goals. Whether it’s guiding first-time buyers, supporting families as they upsize or downsize, or assisting investors in building their portfolio, I take pride in making the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. My legal experience means I can not only assist at the front end of your property journey but also help you navigate the post-contract process with confidence and clarity.
 
My approach is grounded in integrity, reliability, and sincerity — values that have always guided both my professional career and personal relationships.
 
Whether you’re buying, selling, or simply exploring your options, I’m here to provide trusted guidance and support every step of the way.
 
Get in touch today — I’d love to help you take your next step in property.
