THE TEAM
We offer more than individual experience – we work as a team.
Many other brokerages have their sales staff compete with each for every listing; instead we match up each business with the broker who has the most appropriate skill set and work together.
It’s called partnership, and the key to getting the right results for our buyers and sellers. Our results speak for themselves, but so do our happy clients, many of whom have returned many times over the years to buy and sell with us. We pride ourselves on old-fashioned face to face business while utilising every modern tool and approach available.
We don’t do hard sales tactics – we just take the time and effort to put the right people together for great outcomes.

Since he started building surfboards in 1977, Craig developed his business in numerous sectors including surfboards, textiles, airline products and garments. He established a regional presence with operations in NZ, Australia and Fiji. Craig understands what it takes to start a business, grow a business, run a business and to sell a business, so it simply made sense for Craig to join the Company Sales and Acquisitions team.
