About Dan
Hello, I’m Dan Thomas, your local rural and lifestyle sales expert. Originally from Whanganui, I discovered Waverley many years ago when I transitioned from my office job as a sawmill and retail yard manager to a career in dairy farming. My journey into the heart of rural New Zealand ignited a passion within me—a passion that has only grown stronger over time.
As I advanced through the ranks to contract milking, I gained firsthand experience of the land, its people, and the unique rhythm of life in this community. The early mornings, the smell of freshly turned soil, and the camaraderie among fellow farmers—it all became a part of me.
But life is full of twists and turns. After several rewarding years in the dairy industry, my wife, Krista Thomas who happens to be the only other resident agent in Waverley, and I decided to pivot. We embraced a new adventure: renovating and selling houses. The thrill of transforming neglected properties into cozy homes captured our hearts. Each sale was more than a transaction; it was a chapter in someone’s story—a fresh start, a growing family, or a well-deserved retirement. I learned that real estate isn’t just about transactions; it’s about connecting people with their dreams, their livelihoods, and their legacies.
Now firmly rooted in Waverley with our five children, we’ve expanded our horizons even further. Our local gym, a hub of energy and community spirit, has become a place where friendships flourish and goals are achieved. And as we manage Property Brokers, we’re not just handling listings; we’re shaping the landscape of this town—one property at a time.
Why choose me as your rural and lifestyle salesperson? Because I’ve walked the fields, felt the sun on my face, and witnessed the ebb and flow of life here. I understand the nuances—the hidden gems, the panoramic views, and the untold stories behind every fence. Whether you’re buying or selling, I bring more than expertise; I bring authenticity. My life experiences have taught me that real estate isn’t just about square footage and price tags; it’s about dreams realized and futures secured.
So let’s embark on this journey together. Whether you’re seeking a cozy cottage, a sprawling lifestyle block, or a piece of paradise, I’m here to guide you. Let’s turn your aspirations into addresses, your visions into keys, and your hopes into homecomings. Because in Waverley, it’s not just about houses; it’s about heart."
