He spent more than 6 months travelling all over New Zealand, learning to build sustainable earth buildings and looking for the perfect place to settle down. That place turned out to be Waiheke.
Paul feels very privileged to live and work on Waiheke, and loves to help other people achieve their goals on the island. He prides himself in providing an extremely high level of service, but most importantly completely honest service.

Jude Watson
Home is where our story begins, whether it’s my own home or yours, I love seeing how people express themselves, in their own space. It is not about the size, newness, flashiness or design of the house, just the story they tell about the people who live there and the feeling they evoke. That’s why being part of the team at Waiheke Homes resonated with me. This small boutique agency just exemplifies a feeling of friendliness, professionalism and belonging in the Waiheke community.
Prior to working in real estate I was privileged to spend my whole working career in the travel industry, in sales, marketing and client relationship positions, the latter a longstanding role for an upmarket corporate franchise group. Ready to branch out on my own and with skills that dovetailed perfectly into real estate, I have now been successfully selling on Waiheke for 15 years. I have worked in both buoyant and difficult markets , sold a wide range of properties and price ranges and have a good understanding and feel for the island. I love matching people with property, treat each transaction as an individual experience and never under estimate the level of trust put in us. Clients find me both relatable , professional and easy to deal with. So if you would like to add the feminine touch, to your Waiheke Home experience, I would be absolutely delighted to work with you in achieving the best result, whilst enjoying the process.
