John is a very well-known and sought after rural sales consultant in the Taranaki region. His reputation as a salt of the earth type of character whose genuine empathy for people, wide range of skill and experience honed over many years, together with the far reaching Bayleys brand means that his clients and customers are on the winning end just by being associated with him.

From a youngster on farms in the Inglewood area to share milking in Warea, Pungarehu and Rahotu; to part ownership in and manager of one of the earliest Dairy Equity Partnerships in New Zealand.

John’s entrepreneurial spirit and drive also developed into international experience where he looked at converting a European farm to the New Zealand seasonal system. He’s also milked cows in Ireland and Wales among other things before bringing his experiences back to lease a Dairy Farm in the South island.

His passion for real-estate lead him to ownership and subdivision of land in Wanaka, Waimate and Hammer Springs and then four years selling rural real-estate in South Canterbury.

John has also invested two years working for a grazing company before his passion for property and its people brought him back into real-estate.

When you ask his clients and customers what they like about John the most, they say; it’s his belief that good business is about doing the correct thing by his customers and clients and doing those things to the very best of his ability.

That means that when you hire John, you know you are in safe hands.
