About Mark Derbyshire

Born and raised in Te Awamutu, Mark Derbyshire knows the district inside and out. Today he lives locally with his wife, Georgia, and their daughter, Ivy, giving him first-hand knowledge of the area and the people who call it home.

Since beginning his real estate career in 2021, Mark has built an impressive track record, successfully selling more than 89 properties worth over $64 million across Te Awamutu and the wider Waipā district. With an average sale price of more than $725,000, his results reflect a broad range of successful residential and lifestyle sales. More importantly, they reflect the trust his clients place in him and the straightforward, professional approach he brings to every transaction.

Before real estate, Mark enjoyed a successful career in sales and business development, where he developed the communication, negotiation and marketing skills that now give his clients a genuine advantage. He believes every property deserves a tailored approach, every client deserves honest advice, and that keeping people informed throughout the process is just as important as achieving a great sale price.

Real estate also runs in the family. Mark proudly follows in the footsteps of his father, Gary, who began selling property in Te Awamutu in 1993 and became one of the district's most respected agents. While proud to continue that legacy, Mark has built a reputation that is distinctly his own—one based on straightforward advice, hard work, and a commitment to delivering an experience that clients genuinely enjoy.

Mark takes a hands-on approach to marketing, personally photographing and filming many of his listings, while creating engaging online content designed to maximise buyer interest. His attention to detail and understanding of digital marketing help ensure every property is presented to the highest standard.

Backed by the award-winning Ray White Te Awamutu team, Mark combines local knowledge with proven results and a calm, approachable style. Whether you're preparing to sell, searching for your next home, or simply want an honest conversation about the market, Mark would be delighted to help.

Testimonials
Mark helped me achieve a really quick sale on my home in a challenging market, and I couldn't be happier with the result. He was consistently enthusiastic, professional and paid attention to the little details that make a big difference in a depressed market. What I appreciated most was that he tells it like it is. He won't just tell you what you want to hear, which means you can trust the advice and feedback he gives you. What I also appreciated was his approachable communication style and his ability to read people. He draws on extensive past sales experience, which gave me great confidence throughout the process. I'd happily recommend Mark to anyone looking to sell their home, and I'll definitely be using him again in the future.- Melissa Davies
