Andrew has grown up in Hawke’s Bay and loves the lifestyle it has to offer. When not selling homes, you will find him on the golf course, fishing, watching motorsport, or spending time with his wife Danee and two girls, Emily and Georgia.
Andrew’s parents, Peter and Catherine, were leaders in real estate in Hawke’s Bay for over four decades. Andrew was fortunate enough to spend six years working as a team with Catherine, benefiting from her extensive knowledge, negotiating skills, and marketing expertise. Andrew has always had a keen interest in property; it was only a natural progression for him to join the family business.
Previously, Andrew spent nine years with a local building merchant in a management role and gained extensive knowledge of the building industry, which has proven to be a great asset to his clients selling new builds, sections, and subdividable properties. Andrew is now known as the local specialist in Hastings and Havelock North.
Andrew is straight-up, has great empathy for people’s situations, and genuinely works hard to achieve outstanding prices for his clients. His drive and passion for exceeding their expectations are evident in the excellent results that he has achieved and consistent referrals and repeat business. Recognised in the top 10% of Bayleys Salespeople nationwide for 2020/21/22 and 2023/24 and having sold almost 300 properties in his first seven years in the industry, Andrew is quickly gaining experience and the tools needed to offer superior service to his clients.
