Les is highly experienced in real estate marketing and sales. He is also proficient in all market conditions, and his career sales are in excess of half a billion dollars. Les says "this can only be achieved by referrals and repeat sales from valued and satisfied clients."

Les firmly believes the very best person to sell your property is the person who has listed it, because they have all the knowledge about the property, have a comprehensive relationship with the vendor(s) and purchaser(s), and are in the most effective position to negotiate a premium result in the shortest time frame.

Les’ property sales career began in Invercargill where he was the top sales person in an office of six, which was the largest real estate agency in Invercargill at that time. Les later went on to work with Southland Real Estate, being one of the company's inaugural team members. That company quickly became a dominant force in the real estate market and he enjoyed several successful years with them before moving to Mosgiel with his family.

From Mosgiel Les established his own real estate company with the express focus on investment property; this included both residential, and a significant volume of syndicated commercial / industrial property which culminated in the business being sold to a syndicator.

Following on from this Les returned to residential real estate marketing and sales in the greater Dunedin and Mosgiel area, a sector he particularly enjoys and excels in.
