Andrew is a Hawke’s Bay local who genuinely appreciates the lifestyle the region offers. Outside of real estate, he enjoys fitness, golf, and fishing, is always keen for a chat about cars, and loves exploring the Bay with his wife Danee and daughters, Emily and Georgia. Andrew is also a strong supporter of local schools, charities, and community organisations.
Before transitioning into real estate, Andrew spent nine years in a management role with a local building merchant. This experience gave him a strong understanding of the construction industry, which has proven valuable for clients selling new builds, sections, and development opportunities. Today, he is recognised as a local specialist in Hastings and Havelock North.
Real estate also runs in Andrew’s blood. His parents, Peter and Catherine, were highly respected industry leaders in Hawke’s Bay for over four decades. Andrew had the privilege of working alongside Catherine for six years, gaining valuable experience in negotiation, marketing, and client service. With a longstanding interest in property, joining the family business was a natural step.
Known for his straightforward approach and genuine empathy for his clients’ situations, Andrew focuses on achieving the best possible outcome. Clients value his honest communication and down-to-earth manner. His dedication and strong work ethic have led to consistent referrals and repeat business. Andrew has received multiple industry awards, including being recognised as a national High Achiever for Bayleys 2025/26 and ranking within the top 10% of Bayleys agents nationwide. Having sold more than 400 properties within his first nine years in real estate, he brings both experience and proven results to every transaction.

Selling our house with Andrew and his associate Rachael was a positive experience. Andrew is a positive and easy person to communicate with, and the whole selling process was way better than I had expected.

His approach felt straightforward and professional, and we always knew where things were at. Overall, a smooth process and a good result - we'd happily work with him again.
We have just had a wonderful experience dealing with two of your Team, Andrew Rochester and Rachael Bryant. We wanted to say a huge thank you to Bayleys, your team and also share with you our experience. This was a first house sale for us and right from the start we were well supported. We were presented with a marketing and pricing strategy unique to our situation. Never once were we pushed to go into a direction which was very refreshing. But put full trust in the process recommended to us. The strategy for our circumstance was perfect and we followed their lead. The sale price, conditions and speed of the sale exceeded our expectations. Andrew's negotiation skills were seriously good. Presenting us with 4 offers and explaining the pros and cons of each one. Selling our property in essentially 2 days. Which is pretty unheard of in this market. Andrew and Rachael were flawless in their communication, super accommodating and prompt. You will have our business for life and we will most certainly forward the details of Andrew, Rachael and Bayleys to friends and family looking to purchase or sell in the future. Super grateful to have Andrew, Rachael and Bayleys in our corner during this process.
