What’s the highest price you’ve sold a<br />
home for?<br />
When I started my career in real estate nearly 22<br />
years ago, it was a really big deal to see a house<br />
sell over $1 million. It’s very different today! In<br />
excess of $2m is not uncommon and here at<br />
Holmwood we were recently involved in the sale<br />
of Christchurch’s record-breaking (so far) sale of a<br />
residential property at over $6m.<br />
Would you rather buy a brand new home<br />
or something that needs TLC?<br />
There are benefits in both. Everyone loves the idea<br />
of brand new, but a house needing some work can<br />
be an exciting challenge. It is possible to add value<br />
and increase your equity in a property if you have<br />
the flair and skill to create some ‘magic’!<br />

What three words describe a successful real estate consultant?<br />
Intelligent, energetic, hardworking.<br />
How do you keep your team motivated?<br />
I don’t, my team are self-motivated – another essential component of<br />
being a successful real estate consultant.<br />

Are there any suburbs in Christchurch that investors should<br />
be keeping an eye on?<br />
With the emerging central city I think we could see some real opportunity<br />
in city living, and neighbouring suburbs, over the next few years!<br />
If you could live anywhere in New Zealand, where would it be?<br />
Christchurch, of course!<br />
