For many years both Jonathan and myself have worked on the fringes of the real estate industry. As a brand/ advertising agency to a large Auckland real estate player, we were very aware of the pit falls, the hard sell strategies and the negative edge of the industry you work in. Lazy agents, communication voids and broken promises, we knew was the darker side of an industry that had attracted tough government legislation. Yet, this was not our experience. From the very start your professionalism and passion for your job was evident. You were so well prepared and your proposal was thought through, valuable and real world. Your empathy for our position showed, yet you still had the courage and the foresight to ask us to look higher at the opportunity the property offered. In particular, this is what we saw that impressed us. Ownership - seeing you fluff pillows, smooth down sheets and wipe down benches made us feel like you had a real stake in the presentation of the property. Ongoing communication - your texts, your reports and your weekly meetings. Keep them up. They are invaluable as the vendor will hang on every word, comment and sentence you say or write down. It so helps to calm the nerves and make your vendors feel like the project is under control Not being overly positive/ negative - we noticed the way you delivered results of the open homes. Not overly positive, nor negative, just " this is how it was ". We also noticed your measured responses to our questions. All true signs of a real estate professional. Your availability - in an job where you are inundated with phone calls, you were always friendly and ready to listen when we called with an inane question. This is so appreciated when your largest investment is the subject of the conversation. You were unflappable - throughout the whole process, both Jonathan and I kept on saying how glad we were that we had you as our agent. You always seemed to have everything under control. Your personal style - without a doubt, having a tall, smart man standing at the front of your home on open home day, says loads to your vendors and your buyers. Blair, it was a complete breeze to do business with you - by the time auction day came, we knew, and more importantly, we felt, like nothing more could be done. The market had been wrung dry and all interested parties were in the room on that day - I have NEVER felt like that before! I’ll say it again, both Jonathan and I were so pleased that you were our agent. Trusting your home and investment to the right agent is a crucial decision to make. With Blair, I knew immediately that I was placing my property in capable hands. He is immaculately dressed to represent any home, not to mention well spoken, self assured and knowledgeable. He was helpful and thorough from the outset. Within less than one week of marketing our property, he had brought our auction forward and sold our home above the price expectation which is quite an achievement in our current market. If I was to sell again, I would definitely choose Blair.

Blair's engagement to sell our apartment in Freemans Bay clearly demonstrated his professional reputation for market knowledge, a broad client and prospect base (many fostered over decades), integrity, openness, respect, clear and concise communications, and a diligent and focused work ethic. He interacted positively and proactively with us, showing genuine care and empathy, keeping us fully informed of market conditions, prospects, campaign plans, activities and progress, providing us with prompt and relevant feedback and advice, while managing our expectations, never overselling. Our successful sale encapsulated all the above factors. Blair pursued an opportunity through one of our open-house attendees, who in turn recommended our eventual purchasers. While their apartment was not actively on the market, they presented an acceptable offer to us, conditional on its sale. They engaged Blair to market their property, leading quickly to a successful sale at auction, concluding with an unconditional purchase of our apartment. One initial engagement, two sales! For the latter part of these activities Blair was travelling overseas, and worked seamlessly with his Bayleys colleague Dominique to achieve a successful project and outcome for us. We highly recommend Blair as your make-it-happen representative!

Blair is the consummate real estate professional with unrivalled knowledge of the Grey Lynn market. From start to finish, the process was well managed, and every query or request we had was handled promptly and effectively. We were based overseas for most of the sale period, and Blair ensured everything ran smoothly despite the distance, keeping us well informed and confident at every stage. We would happily recommend Blair as the agent of choice for the neighbourhood.

We chose Blair from other contenders because he had developed a clear and well thought out strategy, based on the characteristics of the property and the nature of the local market, to maximise the price that we would receive through an auction process. Blair has great knowledge of our local market and provided sound advice on marketing the property through a campaign which succeeded in engaging with a high number of potential purchasers. He is personable and professional in his communications and clearly explained the various stages of the auction process to us. He has a pragmatic, commercial style and he and the auctioneer ran a very successful auction/negotiation process. We were very happy with the price that Blair secured for us and we would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone looking to sell their property.

We recently worked with Blair, and I can confidently say he is an absolute standout in the Auckland property market. His knowledge of his farm area-especially Herne Bay, Ponsonby and St Mary's Bay-is truly impressive. Blair is not just a real estate agent; he's a walking property guru who knows every street, every home, and every market trend. He's incredibly easy to work with, always responsive, and genuinely has his clients' best interests at heart. Whether you're buying or selling, Blair makes the process smooth and stress-free.

So when I found out he was the agent I knew I was in good hands Blair provided me with all the information that I inquired about regarding the house with speed and accuracy. He is not a pushy person but is there when you need him. Overall I would recommend anyone would be buyer to use Blair as he provides a unique service of experience and knowledge.

Blair did a great job for us in facilitating the sale of 48 St Marys Road. The residential market in March 2025 was very soft. There was limited interest in our property at the auction. Blair worked hard post auction with one party and negotiated up the price to a figure that was acceptable. Most other agents would not have had the ability and tenacity to get the deal done.

He interacted positively and proactively with us, showing genuine care and empathy, keeping us fully informed of market conditions, prospects, campaign plans, activities and progress, providing us with prompt and relevant feedback and advice, while managing our expectations, never overselling. Our successful sale encapsulated all the above factors. Blair pursued an opportunity through one of our open-house attendees, who in turn recommended our eventual purchasers. While their apartment was not actively on the market, they presented an acceptable offer to us, conditional on its sale. They engaged Blair to market their property, leading quickly to a successful sale at auction, concluding with an unconditional purchase of our apartment. One initial engagement, two sales! For the latter part of these activities Blair was travelling overseas, and worked seamlessly with his Bayleys colleague Dominique to achieve a successful project and outcome for us. We highly recommend Blair as your make-it-happen representative!

This is the third time we have bought/sold with Blair and there is a good reason we keep coming back. We trust him 100% to be our best guide through this process, and he's always there to answer your calls and help you through. Couldn't speak highly enough of him.

We had a good feel about Blair, he didn't bother us when we were looking at the property. But was very quick to answer any questions we had and to contact the vendor for questions he didn't know. Over all very good.

Blair is the consummate real estate professional with unrivalled knowledge of the Grey Lynn market. From start to finish, the process was well managed, and every query or request we had was handled promptly and effectively. We were based overseas for most of the sale period, and Blair ensured everything ran smoothly despite the distance, keeping us well informed and confident at every stage. We would happily recommend Blair as the agent of choice for the neighbourhood.

Blair's professionalism and experience were evident throughout my purchase process. He provided very quick responses to queries, kept the dialogue on point, made next steps clear, and displayed personal warmth as we got to know one another. Taking the time to introduce me to the vendor after the auction was very considerate. An exciting outcome for all of us.

We chose Blair from other contenders because he had developed a clear and well thought out strategy, based on the characteristics of the property and the nature of the local market, to maximise the price that we would receive through an auction process. Blair has great knowledge of our local market and provided sound advice on marketing the property through a campaign which succeeded in engaging with a high number of potential purchasers. He is personable and professional in his communications and clearly explained the various stages of the auction process to us. He has a pragmatic, commercial style and he and the auctioneer ran a very successful auction/negotiation process. We were very happy with the price that Blair secured for us and we would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone looking to sell their property.

We recently worked with Blair, and I can confidently say he is an absolute standout in the Auckland property market. His knowledge of his farm area-especially Herne Bay, Ponsonby and St Mary's Bay-is truly impressive. Blair is not just a real estate agent; he's a walking property guru who knows every street, every home, and every market trend. He's incredibly easy to work with, always responsive, and genuinely has his clients' best interests at heart. Whether you're buying or selling, Blair makes the process smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend Blair to anyone looking for an expert in the area.

I had met Blair many years when my daughter was looking for a house. So when I found out he was the agent I knew I was in good hands Blair provided me with all the information that I inquired about regarding the house with speed and accuracy. He is not a pushy person but is there when you need him. Overall I would recommend anyone would be buyer to use Blair as he provides a unique service of experience and knowledge.

Blair did a great job for us in facilitating the sale of 48 St Marys Road. The residential market in March 2025 was very soft. There was limited interest in our property at the auction. Blair worked hard post auction with one party and negotiated up the price to a figure that was acceptable. Most other agents would not have had the ability and tenacity to get the deal done.
