Having travelled extensively and living overseas for 8 years in 1992 John finally settled in Katikati on a 10ha lifestyle block, growing avocados organically and breeding Herefords. He has gained extensive horticulture knowledge from his previous business as a marketer and exporter of avocados, kiwifruit, subtropicals and floriculture crops which has been invaluable in his Real Estate career. For John the move to real estate in 2009 became an obvious choice. This has been reinforced by his significant National, Regional and Franchise awards which not only prove he is an adept negotiator but as a business person with a history of success you are also working with someone who understands how to maximise the value of your property. John is passionate about real estate and strives to deliver an awesome Harcourts experience. For an exceptionally trustworthy, reliable, focussed, and hard-working sales consultant with huge local knowledge and a strong affinity with rural people, John is the obvious choice! He and his wife Julie own the Harcourts Streets Ahead Realty franchise where John is the Principal and also leads the Rural/Horticulture and Lifestyle team.
