Originally from Auckland, Robert has lived in Christchurch since 1999 and resides in Somerfield.

Robert has been in real estate for sixteen years, starting with First National in Beckenham where he was consistently top seller for the two years he was there. He joined Harcourts Grenadier in 2008 and has worked at Barrington and for last ten years the Beckenham office, where he has been No. 1 agent. He believes he can provide the best possible personal service, combined with the best administrative and technological backing. Robert is passionate about real estate and has long held an interest in it: having bought and sold property since purchasing his first home at 22 years of age. Just some of the attributes he brings to his field are honesty and a caring nature, along with the ability to relate well to all sorts of people. He is a good listener and communicator and a driven negotiator. His job is to market your property to find the buyers who will pay the most and with his combination of experience, skill and energy, this is a task he is extremely worthy of. Robert believes in giving back to the community and he is the Christchurch South co-ordinator for the Pink Ribbon Street Appeal and has been for 13 years.
