Few regions in New Zealand or the world for that matter have as much to offer as the Bay of Plenty. From the gentle harbour waters to its surf beaches, its fishing and diving grounds to the scenic bush, the Bay is as much a quiet recreational playground as it is a thriving business and rural community.
Key economic elements for the region include Tourism, Horticulture (predominately Kiwifruit and Avocado production), Viticulture, Pastoral farming, Forestry, Housing and Holiday Makers. The rapid growth in the area provides a vibrant living environment from job opportunities to business prospects with a sustainable future.
Te Puke is known as the Kiwifruit Capital of the World. New Zealand's booming kiwifruit industry had its beginnings here. It's now a major export crop; hundreds of local growers produce millions of trays of the traditional 'Green' and the succulent 'Gold' that are shipped out worldwide. Te Puke is conveniently located in the heart of the Bay of Plenty region and just a short drive from its major centres - Tauranga, Rotorua and Whakatane. Te Puke also has a flourishing farming sector - based on dairying, cattle, deer and sheep. It is also known for honey and bee-related health products.
Tauranga as a city is one of the fastest, if not fastest growing cities in New Zealand. With a mixture of beautiful scenery, great beaches, cafes, restaurants and nightspots it is more than a city it is a lifestyle. The award winning schools also provide a key reason why Tauranga is proving to be such an attractive destination for both ex Kiwi's and migrants as a place to set up their new life in New Zealand.
Snow began working in the kiwifruit industry in 1980 and attended the Bay of Plenty Horticulture Cadet Scheme in 1981 – 1983. By the finish of the scheme, at a young age, he was managing orchards, had a contract gang and in 1996, bought an orchard which he re-structured and re-husbanded before selling in 2004.
The highs, lows and challenges of the kiwifruit industry are part of life for Snow and his ‘hands on’ knowledge qualify him well to attend to the needs of those who buy and sell kiwifruit orchards. He also established a 120 tree avocado orchard and enjoyed growing and marketing avocados for 15 plus years.
He has sold large numbers of horticulture properties, farms and lifestyle blocks, often at substantial premium prices due to his outstanding passion and negotiating skills.
He began working as a Real Estate Salesperson in 1993, later taking an ownership interest in a company for over a decade and achieving Top Rural Salesperson for three consecutive years, before joining Bayleys in 2012 as part of the very effective Country team.
With Bayleys, Snow has achieved Top 5% status nationally continuously since 2014, and in 2017 had the honour to win Bayleys National Top Individual Salesperson. For Success Realty, Snow earned Top Bayleys Country Office Salesperson in 2017 & 2019 and in May of 2019 he was awarded Realty Groups Prestigious Overall Salesperson of the year 2019. Snows most recent honour was to be awarded the Rural Salesperson of the Year at the 2019 REINZ Awards for Excellence in Real Estate.
A keen gardener, he enjoys tending the needs of his 30 strong Belted Galloway cattle herd on his 25 acre farmlet in the Papamoa Hills.
A ‘passionate and parochial member of the Te Puke and wider community’ his personal mantra of ‘accept, adapt, achieve’ resulting from personal tragedy, and a desire to be the best he can be for his clients, family and himself empower him to strive to deliver for those who he serves.
