During his 28 years in real estate, Mike Fraser-Jones has become somewhat of a legend in rural property. Mike’s extraordinary achievements have seen him settle over one billion dollars’ worth of dairy, dry stock, equine and lifestyle units – a feat achieved by few across the property sector.
What’s at the heart of Mike’s success? First, he is a man of the land. Mike has been involved in farming since he left school and went milking. He is a seasoned Waikato farmer, who despite the demands of a busy real estate business, is still actively involved in farming.
Mike’s appreciation of the rural market – locally and nationally - is matched by his understanding of the rural mindset. Recognising the challenges facing the farming community, he has a finely tuned ability to grasp the needs of his clients providing a surety and confidence that earns respect and builds strong and lasting partnerships. Despite market fluctuations, he always maintains an optimistic disposition.
Mike evinces humility in the face of continued success because his focus is on satisfying his client’s needs. There is integrity and commitment underpinning all his undertakings.
With an uncanny ability to spot opportunity, Mike is entrepreneurial, tenacious and never shirks hard work. He has grown a solid support team who share his ethos and work with him to anticipate and accommodate client needs, working at the highest level of best practice marketing, compliance and confidentiality.
Consistently a top rural salesperson nationally and performing in the top 5% of Bayleys’ agents nationwide, Mike has achieved a long list of accolades, and he continues to soar.
Finally, Mike is a devoted family man, boasting the pride of having nurtured three accomplished daughters into successful young adults. Currently, he delights in spending time with his grandchildren, cheering them on in their educational pursuits and sporting endeavors. Supported wholeheartedly by his wife, Annie, Mike finds fulfillment in his roles as a dedicated member of the Tahuna Lions Club and an active participant in the Morrinsville Rugby & Sports Club.

There are several methods of selling property in New Zealand. It is important that you understand the process for the property you are selling.
Auction
Auctions are a public process where a property is sold to the highest bidder at a level pre-determined by you, the seller.
Tender
Usually set over a specific four-or-five week timeframe, the tender process leverages the timeframe element to invite buyers to submit a formal offer. After this, you can negotiate the terms of the sale with your preferred purchaser.
Expressions of interest
Expressions of interest invite all offers from interested parties, allowing flexibility and the option to choose who you want to negotiate with.
By negotiation
Properties offered for sale by negotiation leave value to be determined by the market. This is where the advice and experience of your qualified Bayleys salesperson can assist in determining where you see value for the property and are comfortable accepting an offer. Sales by negotiation are generally open-ended, with the absence of time pressure on both buyers and sellers.
