Greg O’Brien has been a trusted name in commercial real estate since 2018, following a successful long career in fraud investigation. His approach is driven by a passion for helping businesses grow and playing a key role in large-scale developments - from transforming empty paddocks into thriving business parks to brokering pre-lease projects for multinational companies and nationwide developers.

Greg thrives on delivering results that make a real impact. He is experienced in conducting high-profile, complex transactions and has led many off-market agreements, involving layered negotiations. Greg’s clients range from multinationals to iwi, high-net-worth individuals, and first-time property sellers transitioning out of long-held assets.

What sets Greg apart is his ability to uncover strategic information that others may overlook. His background gives him an edge in identifying opportunities, assessing risks, and negotiating with confidence. He bypasses traditional sales techniques in favour of a pragmatic, fact-based approach, earning the trust of the key decision makers, who appreciate his discretion, industry knowledge, and ability to cut through complexity.

Greg’s expertise lies in industrial sales and leasing, pre-lease design-build projects, and all stages of development land - ranging from business parks to large-scale rezoning opportunities. Now part of Bayleys Canterbury and working across the South Island, he leverages the company’s infrastructure, client networks, and national reach to drive success on a larger scale.
