Hi there, I'm Jacob, a real estate agent with Sotheby's International Realty in Tauranga, Bay of Plenty, New Zealand. I'm proud to call Otumoetai my home, and I'm passionate about helping my clients discover all the amazing things that make Tauranga one of the fastest-growing cities in the country. From the stunning white sandy beaches and endless outdoor entertainment and adventure opportunities to the picturesque walks, lakes, and iconic Mauao mountain, there's something here for everyone.
As an experienced luxury sales professional, I'm committed to delivering the ultimate real estate experience for my clients. I know how to listen to my clients' needs and expectations and deliver results that exceed their expectations. My approachable and genuine personality helps me build strong relationships with my clients, based on open communication and mutual trust.
With the global reach of Sotheby's International Realty, I have the resources and expertise to connect with potential buyers from all over the world. I understand the importance of tailoring a marketing campaign to ensure that your property receives the exposure it deserves. And with my proven negotiation skills, you can trust that I will work tirelessly to ensure that transactions are conducted professionally and appropriately.
Having purchased and sold my own residential properties, I understand firsthand the pressures and expectations of the real estate market. When I moved to Tauranga in 2016 with my wife and children, I quickly immersed myself in the community. Through my own experiences, I've learned how important it is to understand my clients' journeys and goals, from where they are now to where they want to be.
My passion is to provide the best possible service and experience to my clients. I take pride in knowing that my clients have had the best possible outcome and experience in their real estate journey. To me, luxury is not a price point, but an experience.
