Straight talk, since I was seventeen.

I started my first business venture at 17. That's just under 30 years of buying, building and selling, and I've been on your side of the table more than once.

I've owned property and run businesses myself, hospitality included. I know what it feels like when your home or your livelihood is being sold. After seeing too many people mistreated in property deals, I built this practice on respect, good guidance and the straight-up advice I'd want myself. Whatever your property's value, you deserve total transparency and a safe pair of hands.

Southern Star Realty is deliberately small. I take on a few listings at a time, around 80% of them come through referrals, and I prepare every one properly before it goes to market. I work across Porirua, Wellington and the Kāpiti Coast.

How I got here

  1. At 17

    First business venture

  2. Business owner and operator, including hospitality

  3. Owner of homes and investment property

  4. Founded Southern Star Realty, Plimmerton

  • Few listings, on purpose.
  • Most of my work is referral.
  • I'll tell you what I think, kindly.
