Having grown up and worked on, bought and sold farms, Al offers experience from both sides of the fence meaning he is in a unique position to assist his rural and lifestyle real estate clients. In fact it was his dealings with Bayleys as a client and the outstanding results achieved that led Al to want others to experience the same great outcomes. Farming sheep and beef for over 25 years has given Al a broad range of skills from planning and organisation to time management, negotiation and an ability to deal with the unexpected, taking an optimistic and positive approach to challenges. Needless to say a good work ethic goes hand in hand and Al is not afraid of putting in the mahi to get the results. He thrives on helping his clients to see the possibilities a property presents including what systems suit the environment and class of country for maximum return. When it comes to lifestyle properties the goal is the same – to use his skills as a big picture thinker to identify opportunities as they arise. His significant experience means that Al can educate, guide and assist buyers to settle into an awesome rural lifestyle that they’ll love. Al knows the hard work farmers and lifestylers put into their properties and the long-term approach they take to realising gains. He takes the responsibility of helping people achieve their dreams very seriously – whether it is to cash up and retire, succession planning, growth or something else. Al’s easy going, approachable and relatable personality always ensures the process is enjoyable and stress-free. Al loves playing a part in his local community. He is a keen supporter of dog trial clubs. He can be found supporting his children’s education and sporting interests when he can. A dedicated family man, outside of work Al can be found spending time with those closest to him and likes to get out and enjoy what South Canterbury has to offer. Driven, honest and a straight talker, Al is an agent that tells it like it is, something his clients appreciate. If you’re looking to sell a rural or lifestyle property and want the reach of buyers across New Zealand and worldwide, as well as in your local and regional area, Al has the connections to make it happen.
