I’m Chris Meban and I have 30 plus years of rural experience. I was born in Gisborne and until 2008 had lived there all my life. I am a 5th generation farmer who had run the 2,300 ha family dry stock farm, running 20,000 stock units.

I started my working life shepherding on large East Coast sheep and cattle stations before completing a Diploma of Agriculture at Massey University. After a two year working holiday in Europe and Africa, plying rugby and shearing sheep, I returned to the East Coast farming scene.

In 2008 the family farm was sold and as a result I moved to Rotorua. This was because of the central location and outdoor environment that Rotorua offers. My wife Jenny and I purchased a 55ha lifestyle farm in Hamurana running sheep and cattle. I have many interests outside of work – hunting, fishing to name a few.

My interest in the farming scene and the rural community has led me to the challenge of rural Real Estate.

To me real estate is about achieving the best possible result for my clients and ensuring that the process is a positive one. Creating a marketing plan that will target the right buyers and gain as much attention along with consistent and timely communication with you the Vendor and the buyer will assist in getting that much wanted ‘SOLD’ sign up.

I know my market, and have fabulous communication skills and I have a tremendous track record of sales over many suburbs and all price ranges. I understand the target market for each property I offer for sale and am able to quickly identify the most effective way to reach those buyers.

My commitment to you:
I will apply the farming ethics of hard work and honesty to your real estate needs.
