Pat has been living and breathing farming in Central Hawke’s Bay for over 40 years. Having sold rural real estate in the region for over 29 of those years, there are few that can match his knowledge and experience.
A graduate of the iconic Smedley Station cadet programme, Pat followed this up with a Diploma of Agriculture at Massey University before settling back in Central Hawke’s Bay. Shepherding and shearing created the platform to purchase the family farm on Snee Road in 1981 where he and Joy, his wife of forty years, still live.
In 1991, Pat commenced a career in rural real estate in Central Hawke’s Bay starting with the Professionals in Waipukurau – a business that was sold to Property Brokers in 1998.
This was an inspired decision, as Property Brokers were considered a developing competitor to the traditional real estate firms of that time; Property Brokers now hold the largest market share of both the rural and residential markets across the whole Lower North Island.
This success has resulted in Pat consistently having 40-60% of the local market and being recognized by local and national rural professionals as someone qualified to make comment on the Rural Real Estate market.
Over the years, Pat has seen immense change in the rural market and land use in Central Hawke’s Bay. Keen to “put back” into the local community, Pat is a past president of the Waipukurau Rotary Club.
He is also the Chairman of the board of Smedley Station. Considered to be the premium training farm in NZ.
Apart from his family, Pat’s other interest is sport, mainly cricket, rugby and trout fishing on Lake Taupo.
