Hi, I’m Simon. Dream maker, beach lover and all round friendly fella.

I help people sell property with natural credibility, commitment and determination. I pride myself on being a professional and it is this skill, alongside my unshakable optimism and creative marketing abilities that delivers reputable results!

My passion for property and people, is in the blood! Some say growing up with both parents (Heather Hannford and Bernie Cotter), well-known in the Bay of Plenty real estate and property development game, gives me an inside edge.

I believe connections are key! Building and maintaining relationships is second nature for me, being a Mount local lad since childhood - I’m always keen for a community 'do', embracing the beach, bands, music festivals, motor racing… apparently I’m not bad on the BBQ too!

Rest assured, I’ll take care of everything when the buying and selling your property. Let this process be fun, easy and stress-free!

I recognise and value the trust my clients place in me and I strive every day to exceed their expectations.

Rodney entered the real estate industry in January 2006 and since that time he has grown to become one of Tauranga's top sales performers and auctioneers. In 2011 he teamed up with Ian and Rachel Grindle as a co owner of Ray White Tauranga with offices located at their waterfront offices at 232 Devonport Road on the Tauranga city fringe.
In 2013 Rodney had Sue Peard join him as his sales associate - assisting him in all facets of his real estate including seller and buyer customer care. Sue has over 20 years of real estate in Tauranga and is an invaluable member of his team.
A Tauranga local, Rodney completed secondary schooling and left for Christchurch to complete a Bachelor of Broadcasting and Communications Degree.
Meeting Rodney you get the distinct impression that he doesn't sit still for long. His energy is contagious and he is almost always in motion setting up appointments for both vendors and purchasers alike.
Rodney concentrates his time around servicing his vendors and achieving the best results possible in a honest and professional manner. Most of his clients are a result of word of mouth and recommendations from past clients.
The drive to match the right property with the right people is constantly exercising his mind.
Rodney is one of the new breed of real estate consultant embracing technology to enhance the marketing process and achieve great results for sellers.
