About Jon

Jon Pottinger specialises in commercial and industrial leasing and sales in the Porirua, Tawa and Johnsonville areas.

His client-focused service ethic was honed during a 30-year career in the competitive service industry, predominantly in the automotive field. Jon established Powerhaus on Tinakori Road and grew it into the capital’s leading independent automotive sales and servicing business specialising in Porsche and other European marques.

With many years experience both as a tenant and owner of commercial real estate himself, Jon understands the dynamics involved in negotiating practical leases and securing a sale. His pragmatic approach to the business basics is complemented by his easy manner and rapport-building skills which helps seal deals.

The Johnsonville and Porirua markets are evolving ones and Jon has a good grasp on the fundamentals of these areas in terms of existing opportunities, future needs and development options from both a sales and leasing perspective.

Bayleys Wellington recognises that Porirua and northern corridor suburbs are areas providing great opportunities for growth and their presence in those markets is strengthened by Jon’s presence and activity across the commercial and industrial spectrum.

In 2011 being Jon’s first full calendar year in commercial real estate Jon has become the second highest volume broker at Bayleys Wellington which is a remarkable achievement in such a short time period in the industry and has quickly cemented his reputation as the “go-to” Porirua man.
