Residential, Lifestyle and Waterfront Sales

Jacob brings an extraordinary level of dedication and competitive excellence to real estate, shaped by 16 years competing at the pinnacle of professional rugby league. With 275 NRL games, 14 State of Origin appearances and seven series victories, playing for the North Queensland Cowboys, Newcastle Knights and New Zealand Warriors, Jacob understands what separates good from exceptional. Now channelling that same professionalism into his real estate career he offers clients an uncommon advantage born from elite-level performance.

What truly distinguishes Jacob is his perspective from both sides of the transaction. Having actively invested in property for 18 years, buying and selling numerous properties throughout his sporting career, he possesses genuine insight into what makes an outstanding agent. He has experienced firsthand the difference between adequate service and exceptional representation, and this knowledge directly informs how he approaches every client relationship.

Growing up on a cattle station in North Queensland instilled in Jacob an authentic understanding of rural and lifestyle properties that complements his passion for Waiheke's diverse residential market. This background, combined with his investment experience, makes him particularly effective for clients navigating the island's unique blend of real estate opportunities.

Jacob's sporting career taught him that success demands more than talent - it requires thorough preparation, strategic thinking and a dedicated commitment to outcomes. These principles translate directly to real estate, where he maintains competitive edge through constant analysis of sales data, market trends and continuous professional development. His approach is methodical and data-driven, ensuring clients benefit from informed guidance rather than guesswork.

Jacob's personal drive comes from a genuine passion for assisting others. He’s a personal trainer part-time because he loves helping people achieve their goals, an ethos that extends naturally into his real estate practice. As a father of four with children at Te Huruhi School and active involvement in local sports teams, Jacob is deeply embedded in the Waiheke community he serves.

For Jacob helping clients achieve their property goals combines his two greatest passions: real estate and serving people. When people choose Jacob they gain an agent who understands that reaching the highest level requires dedication, preparation and an absolute commitment to achieving the best possible outcomes.
