Meet Alex Smits: Championing Rural Living and Community in Hikurangi

Proudly calling Northland home, Alex Smits has established himself as a trusted name in the rural real estate market. Known for his straight-shooting approach and deep passion for promoting the benefits of living in the Hikurangi region, Alex has built a reputation for delivering results while genuinely caring about his clients.

Specialising in rural properties of all sizes - from dairy farms and drystock blocks to large lifestyle and coastal farming properties - Alex is committed to showcasing Northland as a premier lifestyle choice. He understands the region’s economic growth potential, geographic diversity, and rich cultural heritage, making him the go-to agent for anyone looking to invest, relocate, or expand in this part of New Zealand.

A true local, Alex and wife Sarah, and their two children live in Opuawhanga, Hikurangi. Having previously lived in Wellington and overseas, they have chosen Northland for its unparalleled lifestyle opportunities. Alex’s deep roots in the community have helped him develop strong relationships across Whangārei and the wider Hikurangi region. To date, he has successfully sold over $150 million in rural properties, witnessing firsthand the growth in demand and property values in the area.

But Alex’s commitment goes beyond property sales. He actively contributes to the community as Chair of the Hikurangi Sports Hub, a $20 million development project for Hikurangi. He also coaches junior sport, including Rugby League, and has recently organised a Summer Twilight Football project. Previously, he chaired the Hikurangi Business Association, supporting local enterprise and contributing to the continued growth and vibrancy of the township, and remains actively involved in the area.
