From growing up on a dairy farm in South Canterbury, I have always had a passion for the rural industry. Rural banking has served me well for over 17 years, and Real Estate is where my focus will be for many years to come

Dan’s time in the Rural Finance industry has given him some strong and valuable skills. He prides himself on building and maintaining lasting relationships with his large network of farmers and rural professionals. He has a thorough knowledge of the banking industry, succession scenarios and environmental requirements. Dan is constantly upskilling, presently studying rural valuation which will enhance his ability to get the right outcome for customers.

Through these experiences, he has seen and worked with many families and business structures across numerous property transactions. No two deals are the same hence his ability to negotiate, piece a deal together and work around conditions to satisfy all parties involved. His clients find his honesty, integrity and ability to problem solve while working towards successful transactions has seen many positive relationships built and will continue to strive.

Dan is heavily involved with his 3 kids schooling and their sports, he loves his own sports and is regularly seen around the district at events. His love for his family and his own farming block gives him the right balance, while knowing what is important to longevity and success.

"After owning our farm for eight years we made the difficult decision to sell. I say difficult as that is the farm where we raised our kids, taught them how to drive, taught them how to milk and I suppose taught our four kids to be all round sound country kids. We re-fenced the total farm, planted thousands of natives, got to see Petunia, Mikey, Stumpy and all the other pets in the herd. As selling the farm is such a mix of personal emotions, it is also intertwined with the reality that it is your business you are selling and you want someone to represent the value of what you have created. When we decided to sell there was no doubt on our minds that Dan was who we wanted to go through that process with. Dan has two great strengths. Firstly, he has a personable character. We have looked at a number of properties over the years with a number of different agents. It makes me shudder when we are on the receiving end of cheesy agents who just seem to spin the lines to try and sway you. The person we wanted to deal with and front of farm had to be straight up, genuine and without any bullshit. Secondly, Dan has a huge advantage of many years in the banking sector. Dan sold our fantastic business and had the banking background to be able to promote it in a manner which enabled the potential purchasers to realise what their investment would return back should they purchase the property. At the end of the day, the vendor is after the best possible sale result and there is no doubt that Dan had a positive influence on the outcome through his financial skills and his great character."
