More about Andrew

I am a dedicated and passionate real estate professional with a strong desire to assist people in achieving their dream of homeownership. With a background in banking, I bring valuable financial expertise to the table, enabling me to provide informed guidance and support to clients throughout the real estate process.

In September 2009, I joined Harcourts in Queenstown, starting my career in Admin and PA furthering on to Rentals. I quickly became an part of a dynamic and friendly team, relishing the opportunity to work alongside like-minded individuals. The collaborative and reliable nature of the team made the experience enjoyable and rewarding.

In March 2015, an opportunity arose for me to assist me father on a smallholding in Stutterheim. During this time, I dedicated myself to supporting family and learning valuable life skills. However, in 2021, driven by my passion for real estate, I decided to rejoin Harcourts Mercantile in November as a sales agent in East London.

Eager to expand my knowledge and contribute further to the Harcourts team, I transitioned to the administrative staff in September 2022. In this role, I provide support to the office and agents, leveraging my expertise and dedication to assist in any way possible.

Fueled by my genuine love for people, I find immense satisfaction in training and helping others realize their dreams. Witnessing the joy and fulfillment in individuals' faces when they finally acquire a home they can call their own is so rewarding.

With a combination of my real estate expertise, banking background, and commitment to customer satisfaction, I am dedicated to providing exceptional service and guidance to every client I encounter. I strive to make the homebuying process as smooth and stress-free as possible, helping individuals navigate the complexities of the market with confidence.
