Derek also has good practical insight which adds value to the buying process. Would Highly recommend Derek.”

Rowan McKenzie - Rungahiwi Farms Ltd

“We have known Derek since 2018. In that time, he has supported us through four property sale and purchase transactions. We have found Derek to be a really nice, straightforward and honest agent that will find out any information as required by clients. He has a good knowledge of his area and understanding of farming potentials. Derek always kept us well informed of the sale progress either in person at our home or by phone or email. We are only too happy to recommend Derek to future clients, and if you would like to discuss this in person feel free to give us a call. Derek has our number.”

Carole and Bernie Wright

“Having known Derek for some years in his earlier roll as a Technical Field Officer we had no hesitation in engaging Derek to sell our property. His engaging personality, strong attention to detail, high ethical standards and all-round familiarity with the roll made him well suited. We thoroughly recommend Derek to any Vendor.”

Ron and Jocelyn Davis

“When choosing a Real Estate agent, we needed someone who would be informative, keep his word on appointments and deliver on time. Derek, proved to be prompt, professional and honest. He is always cheerful, enthusiastic, and did a great job negotiating for us. Derek is a pleasure to work with, he has excellent people skills and understands farming.

We would certainly engage with Derek again as a real estate agent and recommend him to anyone contemplating selling their property.”

Murray and Diane Johnstone

“I worked with Derek recently on a farm acquisition where I was the purchaser, and he was agent for the vendor. Derek impressed with his ability to balance being a strong and effective advocate for his client while also running a sale process that was transparent, well organised and gave me confidence in its integrity - which as a purchaser was important to me given the complexity of these transactions today.”

Kevin Cooney

“We very much enjoy working with Derek. Earlier this year he successfully assisted us with the sale of a farm property. His common-sense approach and his good understanding of the market and farming in general is to be appreciated. Derek prepared a good sales strategy, was fair and worked without placing pressure or stress on us. He kept us well informed, and his communication was excellent and professional in all respects and at all times. We have no hesitation in recommending Derek to those thinking of buying and/or selling.”
