Upon completing a degree at Waikato University at the age of 24, I bought my first investment property. This was the beginning of a reasonable investment portfolio and a passion for real estate. Now I get the opportunity and great pleasure in assisting other people to realise their real estate goals, whether it is buying their first home, dream home or investment property.
Having a teaching background gave me a head start in my career of marketing and selling residential and lifestyle property. Teaching for 11 years has developed many skills:
I loved teaching, particularly the last five years at Cambridge High School, and all the rewards that came with it. However, in 2005 an opportunity arose and the chance to work for a great company. The Bayleys mission statement reads, ‘we are committed to maximising the value of our client’s real estate assets through superior customer service’. I firmly believe that through our ability to market quality property and the excellent results we gain, this is achieved for our clients.
I have a love for sport, in particular rugby and am affiliated with the Hamilton Old Boys Club. I have now focussed my rugby interest to refereeing and have set high goals in this field. I have travelled extensively throughout the UK and Europe, basing myself in London for three years. Whilst travelling through Spain, I met my wife Shani and we now have four beautiful children. We also lived in Japan for two years, where I played rugby whilst experiencing their beautiful culture.
I live with three basic principles; to succeed you must be ‘hardworking, reliable and honest’.

Couldn't be happier with the outcome of our recent house sale. This is the second time we have asked Aaron to sell a property for us and there are many reasons we returned. Aaron is a very good agent. He communicates well both with the vendor and potential buyers, he works hard to get your sale chasing up every possible angle, he listens to your needs and guides as required. Aaron is very experienced and that shows in every interaction. Couldn't recommend more.
Aaron Paterson has a deservedly strong reputation as a knowledgeable easy to work with agent. He has a deep knowledge of the Hamilton market and a realistic approach to property valuation and investment. He gave practical, "straight-talking" advice on how to best present the property to maximize sale prices and was easy to discuss offers and strategy with. I would also like to thank Aaron for his attention to detail, solving small issues and promoting and showing this investment property. I was pleased with the result. Thanks and all the best, Vicki.
Aaron likes to do things a little old school, with face to face meetings and printed material which generally suited us. Aaron's communication was clear an regularly delivered which helped us to feel were were in control of the selling process. We felt comfortable asking questions during the process. Aaron fostered the relationships with potential buyers and hid his best to get as many buyers to the Auction as possible. On Auction day Aaron and the Bayleys team did a great job and got the result we were looking for.
James Gordon, 77 Macfarlane street. Aaron was friendly and knowledgeable, he kept us informed on the progress of the sale and was easy to contact even outside of regular working hours
Aaron is a man of honesty and integrity He also has an amazing insight into the Real Estate business Thanks to Aarons skill as an agent we got our house sold quickly and with virtually no stress We would not hesitate to recommend Aaron to anybody
Aaron is a real genuine good bloke, he took the time to get to know us and find out what kind of property we were looking for and made everything easy for us to find what we wanted.
Aarons caring for detail, ability to truly listen and obvious knowledge of the market allowed me to enjoy this experience with confidence. He works hard and it shows.I'm very greatful for his support when I had been totally overwhelmed .
Would highly recommend Aaron to anyone looking to sell their home. Straight up and down in his approach which lead to a seamless sale of our property for a price we were really happy with. His years of experience and network in the Waikato community are such an asset for anyone in the process of selling.
Aaron and his team kept us well informed as the marketing programme and level of interest in our property progressed. Advice on the presentation of the house and property was very valuable to us. We were impressed with the quality and coverage of the marketing and in particular the photographs and property description, which we are sure increased the level of interest and indeed a very satisfactory auction and sale outcome. We would have no hesitation in recommending Aaron and the Bayleys team to new or experienced property vendors.
I had the pleasure of working with Aaron Paterson when purchasing 37, 37B, 37C and 37D Ohaupo Road, and I could not be more impressed with his professionalism and dedication throughout the process.

His knowledge of the local property market and his clear communication gave me complete confidence as a buyer. Aaron made what could have been a complex multi-property purchase feel straightforward and stress-free.

His proactive approach and attention to detail ensured there were no surprises, only solutions. I am extremely grateful for his efforts and would not hesitate to recommend Aaron to anyone looking to buy or sell property. He is an outstanding real estate professional who delivers results with a personal touch.
We recently purchased a property through Aaron Paterson at Bayleys and couldn't be happier with the experience. We are absolutely in love with our new home, and the entire process - though fast-paced - was smooth and stress-free thanks to Aaron's professionalism and dedication. Even while attending a conference in Australia, Aaron stayed fully engaged, communicating clearly and working hard behind the scenes to ensure the deal got across the line for us. His commitment, responsiveness, and genuine eagerness to help made all the difference. We're so grateful for his efforts and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell.
Great market knowledge, kept us updated, and secured us the best price we could get for our property. Excellent service and we'd recommend Aaron for your next sale or purchase.
Great team.
Aaron was very professional- and realistic- throughout the process, including unexpected setbacks. He kept us well informed, and had useful advice along the way.
Aaron and Troy were our agents of choice as Aaron has sold a number of properties in our area. Aaron spent considerable time with us at the start of the process explaining exactly the steps were, His attention to detail was much appreciated. Our sale was not exactly straight forward but Aaron kept us informed every step of the way. He is a diligent persistent agent who served us well. We are very happy to recommend him to our friends and anyone needing an agent to help them sell their property.
Great experience dealing with Aaron and his team. Very professional and communicated great throughout the process. Would recommend Aaron to anyone looking for an experienced agent to get the job done.
Recently, when we embarked on selling the home and property that we had occupied and cherished for over 30 years, we selected Aaron Paterson to facilitate the processes involved. From our perspective, Aaron proved to be an exemplary person for the role and the attributes that he demonstrated in the course of enacting the role included the following: Empathy: The property was originally a bare 10 acres site, in part with hill-top 360 degree panoramic views. In the intervening years a, lovely two-story home that we savoured living in was built, extensive flower and vegetable gardens established, infrastructure for grazing stock put in place, and a pond /wetland and surrounding bush area was created. Aaron empathised with the wrench we felt moving on from this place and his measured advice and support helped us deal with the constant swirl of mixed emotions we felt dealing with the jobs to do - to sell. Efficiency: During all of communications and interactions with Aaron, he made the focus of what was to discussed and decided on clear and the talking to be done was always meaningful and direct. There was no waste of time and words. At the same time there was space for mutual storytelling and banter that helped us get to know one another; to build what we felt was a good working relationship. Energy: Coupled with Aaron's efficiency was his boundless energy. He was always checking in, encouraging, reassuring, nudging, following up, getting back - to ensure that his, Baley's and our tasks were getting done in a timely way. He never flagged. Effective: as a predictable result of these attributes-in-action, and Aaron's long-standing experience and competence, a new family occupies our property and we are, with Aaron's on-going help, looking for our, to be cherished, new home. Thanks Aaron.
We engaged Aaron to sell our home at 24A Dermont Street, Bader. Aaron was quick to identify prospective purchasers and had a contract on the property within days of going on the market. Aaron has previously worked with us on both sales and purchases, highly recommend.
Aaron was real friendly and honest about selling in a tough market
I found Aaron Paterson pro-active in helping me find and purchase a property. His communication was clear and helpful. He is very knowledgeable about the current market which was a massive help to me. A pleasure to do business with and would definitely recommend him and his team to others. Marcus

Aaron and Troy have gone above and beyond.we have been so happy with the service. Especially as we went over seas during the sale process.
