Whether working with homeowners, investors, developers, or first-home buyers, he is committed to providing honest advice, strategic guidance, and a seamless property experience from start to finish.
Before transitioning into real estate, Tom enjoyed a successful 15-year professional rugby career, representing Auckland and The Blues for eight years before continuing his career internationally in Ireland as a marquee player. Throughout his sporting career, he became known for his leadership, work ethic, and ability to perform under pressure — qualities that continue to define his approach in business today.
While rugby was his first passion, property has long been a close second.

With practical knowledge gained through renovating, building, managing tenants, and investing personally, he offers valuable insight into investment strategy, yield optimisation, multi-income properties, land banking, and development opportunities.
Tom’s hands-on experience gives his clients a genuine advantage when navigating the property market. He understands the challenges and opportunities involved in buying, selling, and investing because he has personally lived them himself.
Known for his approachable nature, clear communication, and strong negotiation skills, Tom prides himself on helping clients make confident decisions while consistently achieving premium outcomes.
