ln a little over 30 years, we’ve built our family business into a company that stretches from Northland to Southland, and we’ve built it the provincial way: through hard work, discipline, friendships and a powerful sense of family.
“In the provinces, it’s all about relationships – with our clients, with our families, with our communities. We want to see them thrive. We are a positive and active contributor to growth.
I am so proud of our family, of our track record and we love living here.”
Tim Mordaunt
Chairman, Property Brokers
Right from the start, provincial New Zealand has been the place we feel most at home. Here, relationships and trust count for everything. A deal is done on a handshake, and locals judge you on how long they’ve known you.
No one knows property in the regions better than us. To know a market, you need to live in it. You can’t service it from a distance. Our heartland connection means we have the insights to bring the right people together so you get the most value out of your property.
