Rural sales - Farms & Lifestyle properties Taranaki wide. Lifelong relationship & understanding of all things rural. Reputation built around strong values of honesty, reliability, empathy and hard work.

I have been involved in the agricultural sector for pretty much all of my life, with a genuine passion for the rural sector. Born & educated in Gisborne, I moved to Taranaki, entering the Dairy Industry. Following this I joined the Police with primarily rural policing during this period. Following this I commenced a role as a Livestock Buyer in the Horowhenua and Manawatu area, adding Rural Real Estate into the business in 2008. My love of helping and advising people with their farm or lifestyle property decisions soon took over and I have remained solely involved in Real Estate since that time. I have been a successful rural salesperson, as well as previous management roles, including that of a Country Team Manager, Regional Manager and General Manager. I have built a strong reputation as being extremely straight forward, down to earth, hardworking, reliable and totally honest .., it simply is “who I am”. With my work, sporting and community experiences across Taranaki and the lower North Island, I have an extensive network of contacts from all walks of life throughout not only these areas, but across New Zealand. The widespread Colliers network certainly enhances this to the benefit of everyone that I will deal with. If you are considering selling your rural property, whether it be a farm or lifestyle block, or looking to purchase one, feel free to contact myself or my wife Lea, who works as my Executive Assistant, to confidentially discuss your requirements at any time. Colliers have the expertise, alongside local, national and international presence to ensure you are well looked after. With Dean and Lea File, rest assured you will be in safe hands.
