Alan Wilson started his career as an aircraft engineer with the RNZAF. After ten years and several overseas deployments Alan moved into a sales engineering role which required a high level of technical knowledge with the ability to build relationships with clients to build loyalty and repeat sales contracts.
In the 90s Alan moved on to an international marketing role in the telecommunications industry within the continents of Africa and Europe. This role required the management of 20 agents, liaison with clients and relevant Government personnel within each country of the region. The role was mainly focussed on sales and marketing with a necessary understanding of the technical aspects of radio link systems being required.
It was during this time that Alan became heavily involved in property ownership and renovation and over the years has meticulously upgraded at least twelve properties.
After three years Alan became International Sales & Marketing Director for another international company which specialised in telecommunications design and manufacture. He managed existing customers and distributors in New Zealand and Asia and two account managers responsible for South America and Europe.
In 2003 Alan moved to Robinson Seismic Ltd as CEO. Utilising his skills in management, engineering, organisation and marketing, Alan’s primary focus in this role was to migrate a successful New Zealand based scientific institution with their own patents into an international commercial enterprise. Alan achieved this goal over a period of 9 years successfully gaining significant business in the markets of Turkey, Iran, India, Korea, Taiwan, USA and Indonesia. Success in this role initiated a move to Hong Kong in 2007 to enable better management of the international business and country managers from a central point.
Robinson’s profile increased within the industry worldwide and with that recognition it was inevitable that the business was eventually sold to an overseas company. After winding up life in Hong Kong, Alan moved back to New Zealand where he started looking for another exciting role in which he could put his various talents to the best use. An opportunity arose to become a Sales Consultant with Harcourts which is an ideal role for Alan to utilise his knowledge and passion for real estate and commitment to customer service.
After five years with Harcourts Alan moved to Arizto, a smarter way to conduct real estate sales at an amazing price point. For $10,000 + GST

Hi Alan I have now found a place so can be taken off your email list. I want to thank you for sending through the updates which I have found very helpful and you are the only agent I have come across that produces these which is very impressive. Thanks for your help. Terry
“Alan’s consistent professionalism and integrity was evident throughout the entire process. He and his partner have been a pleasure to work with and their commitment and dedication made the campaign run smoothly and put us at ease that our home was in the safest hands. I have recommended Alan to a number of people and should I want to sell or buy again in the future I will be using Alan’s team. ” –Karen & John R
Alan and Lynette were recommended to me by a friend who is an Auckland agent. She had made preliminary investigations as to who in Wellington would best suit my needs and selected Alan based on his approachability and structured, comprehensive selling system. I haven't sold a house before so Alan’s ongoing advice and guidance, especially regarding negotiating the best price, was greatly appreciated. Alan and Lynette marketed my property with great positivity and enthusiasm and their follow up with buyers plus feedback to me was impeccable. You're awesome Alan, thanks again so much for all you've done, I am absolutely rapt with the price achieved and still in disbelief! – Kate, vendor
Alan and Lynette provided excellent service in the marketing and sale of our home. They were well informed and knowledgeable about current market conditions and provided excellent advice about all aspects of the selling process. Under their guidance, we selected auction as our preferred sales method and are extremely happy with the results. Alan and Lynette worked tirelessly to ensure our home received as much attention as possible from potential buyers and we were kept well informed about interest in our property. We are both shift workers and really appreciated the effort and consideration Alan and Lynette demonstrated to ensure that were not unduly disturbed for viewings, yet made sure buyers had plenty of opportunity to view our home. This effort ensured that there was a great turnout at the auction and the resulting sale price far exceeded our expectations. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Alan and Lynette for both service and results.
“I am thrilled with Alan and Lynette’s practical and efficient approach to the project management and marketing of our home, which resulted in the sale of the property after only 15 days on the market. Within three weeks they ensured the property was ready for sale, organizing plasterers, painters, gardeners, cleaners, home stagers and photography. Providing a completely hassle-free end-to-end service. Alan and Lynette kept me fully up to date throughout the entire pre-listing and marketing process. I thoroughly recommend them as a team who can deliver results in all aspects of property sales.” –Nick McDougall
I engaged Alan and Lynette to sell my tenanted property earlier this year and we are absolutely thrilled with the results achieved. Alan and Lynette were thoroughly professional and knowledgeable throughout the sales campaign, recommending a marketing promotion and sales method to best suit our needs. They provided the exact level of feedback we requested: I felt knowledgeable about the sales process throughout the three-week campaign, yet not inundated with superfluous information. They were always easy to contact and went out of their way to quickly respond to my emails and phone calls. For a vendor, Alan and Lynette’s knowledge, communication and efficiency in all real estate matters gave us a high level of confidence that the sale of our property was in good hands. What impressed me most was Alan’s negotiation skills during the tender process with the price achieved exceeding our expectations. The entire sales process was efficient and straightforward and I would not hesitate to recommend Alan and Lynette as a sales team who work hard for their vendors to attain an exceptional outcome.

Upon returning home to Wellington from overseas, we have been looking for more than 18 months to find a home. Alan did a great job for us and helped us find a home that is beyond our hopes. We really appreciated his diligent efforts – above and beyond other agents - to show us properties that fit our criteria. Honest, helpful and a fount of knowledge when it comes to the subtleties of Wellington's housing market. Highly recommended. Richard & Emma
After engaging Alan as my sole real estate agent, I was impressed with the work he did firstly to give me a realistic estimate of the current market value of my Brooklyn property, then to organise a comprehensive marketing campaign and finally to recommend the best method for the sale of the property. Alan acted with integrity throughout the process and always kept me thoroughly informed of developments. He ensured the viewing times were restricted as much as possible to fit in with my circumstances and always gave plenty of notice if a viewing was required outside of the normal times. The follow-up with potential buyers was done with such professionalism that there were ten registered bidders present on auction day. This resulted in a sale price being achieved that vastly exceeded even my highest expectations. A job well done and I would have no hesitation recommending Alan’s services. Robert Orange
I am delighted with the effort and final result attained by Alan and Lynette in the sale of my apartment. I have owned an investment apartment managed by Quest and it has provided an excellent return however, it did not sell immediately due to people’s desire for accommodation in which to live rather than rent out. Undaunted, Alan and Lynette continued to market the property with gusto, keeping me informed of progress and regularly reviewing marketing and advertising with me, as well as providing prospective buyers with a plethora of information to assist in their decision-making. I was most impressed with Alan’s negotiating skills in the final sale, ensuring my price expectations were met admirably. Notably, there has been another apartment in our complex, similar to mine for sale with another agent and I see that it has not sold after being on the market for more than a year. I believe the sale of my apartment is testament to Alan and Lynette’s strong work ethic, perseverance and sales skills. I thoroughly recommend them as a sales team who achieve excellent results!
“Congratulations on selling the Reuben Ave property! The figure you achieved is quite scary from a prospective purchaser’s perspective but all credit to you. That is significantly more than I would have considered if I had participated but I must say, you would have to be the most engaging real estate person I have ever encountered - if I ever want to sell my apartment I will be in touch.” Kind regards Trudy Keenan
