With a lifetime spent in dairy, dry stock farming and working within the thoroughbred industry, Alistair’s in depth rural knowledge has given him a strong twenty year presence in the property sector. Living and working in the Waipa District for the past thirty years has seen him develop a diverse and wide reaching range of friends, contacts and business relationships, all of which he draws on in his real estate career.

His experience and integrity in negotiation, has resulted in a large amount of satisfied (and often repeat) clients.

If you require someone with that wealth of experience, a vast network of contacts, and drive to get the job done, then Alistair would love to speak with you.

“Due to the professionalism of Bayleys and in particular Alistair we are extremely happy to be the lucky owners of our beautiful property overlooking Lake Karapiro.  Excellent communication was needed as distance was a factor and available time a luxury for us.  The experience was evident and processes implemented kept the business moving forward in an uncomplicated manner.  Once the process was finalised the continued support was very much appreciated, having Alistair’s local knowledge prior to takeover meant we had support in place when we arrived in the area.  Thankyou again for your efficiency and ease in doing business, it was extremely appreciated”.
