Commercial Sales Consultant
About Tony
Tony brings a wealth of sales experience to the real estate industry and Property Brokers.
Brought up in Te Awamutu and schooled at St Peters in Cambridge and Te Awamutu College, Tony’s early career in banking led to an 8 year stint in the financial markets in Auckland before the lure of the big OE was too much, which led to six great years travelling Europe as a Tour Manager for Contiki. That road led Tony to a successful 20 year career in the retail travel industry in both Australia and New Zealand where Tony’s natural leadership, sales ability and relationship building skills flourished – winning Global #1 sales awards with Flight Centre 2 years running.
Tony puts his success down to forming excellent relationships with his clients and always giving his utmost to ensure that they get the best possible result. His professionalism, drive and commitment to succeed are surpassed only by the care and attention that he shows for his clients. He knows full well that great relationships and excellent communication are key to any successful sale.
Tony has had several personal forays into the real estate market in NZ and Australia over the years, so is well versed in all aspects of the real estate industry – both as a buyer and a seller, and now as a real estate professional himself. With his roots firmly planted back on NZ soil on his very own lifestyle block, Tony is excited to be a part of the Property Brokers team and back home in the Waikato.
