If you’re looking for an agent who is a straight shooter, values transparency, and always places the needs of his clients first, then look no further than Gary Noakes. He is known for building friendships rather than just relationships with his clients and delivering exceptional real estate results. Gary came to real estate after farming most of his life. This has involved working in equestrian and racing stables, giving him great in-depth knowledge of land and livestock—a real asset, particularly to anyone looking to buy or sell a lifestyle property. Gary has a down-to-earth attitude and an innate ability to connect with people from all walks of life. He ensures his clients are always fully informed and then assists them in making the best decisions, all in their own time, alleviating any pressures normally associated with a real estate transaction. Facilitating an enjoyable experience is a priority for Gary. He recognises that selling property is the biggest transaction most people will make, and he is always available to answer any questions and guide people through the process. His reputation for working hard to achieve the best results for his clients is second to none. Gary always tries to be two steps ahead of what is required and is not afraid to think outside the box. In his spare time, Gary can be found judging chickens at the local school ag days, something he has done for over 13 years. He also loves running, fishing, helping his daughter at her pony club and events, and generally spending time with family and friends. Based in the Pukekohe office, Gary’s chosen area is Franklin, where he has lived for the past 25 years. He knows it’s a fantastic place to raise a family or retire and specialises in residential, lifestyle, and rural properties.
