Hey there.

Hopefully the following blurb will give you a bit of a background to my start in Real Estate but please feel free to call me anytime to talk.

I was born and bred in Palmerston North and I am extremely proud to call Palmy my home. Having lived mostly in the peaceful Aokautere township and moving to Cloverlea when attending High School, I have made sure I have a sound knowledge of the city.

I was delighted to be offered a position at Watson Real Estate and it was at the start of 2011, on a stunning summer day when I made the move back here from a two and a half year period in Auckland. I moved to Auckland at the age of 18 after receiving a job offer to work in a leading modem and networking company, Netcomm/Dynalink. While here I learnt and furthered my knowledge in Sales and Business in an extremely aggressive marketplace.

My journey in real estate started as a Personal Assistant for Marcus Watson here at Watson Real Estate and during this time I successfully completed my Real Estate Salesperson License from REAL ITO while learning the ropes from one of the best in the industry. My fascination of property and the ever-changing market, is what motivated me into this career and when combined with my excellent skills in sales, marketing and attaining success for my clients, is a winning recipe.

I am proud to be working for a highly regarded, local family company. This is important as family and friends are dearest to me. I work with an outstanding, knowledgeable group of people, who all share the same passion in Real Estate as I do and I am so proud to be a part of this team.

I LOVE sport, playing many, many different sports over the years. Currently I play soccer for Marist and another sport called airsoft, a very physically intense sport similar to paintball which keeps me reasonably fit, (although my fitness lacks somewhat these days).

My passions other than work and sport is hanging out with Family and Friends. I am always on the go and wanting to do something, and I have to thank Auckland for that. I always enjoy a few cold ones out in the sun and I am looking forward to the awesome opportunities that Palmy has to offer.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and I look forward to any future encounters we may have.

Have a great day!

Latham

Client Testimonials

“I have been in Real Estate for 35 years or more. Latham is by far one of the best agents I have ever dealt with. He presented himself really well and did a fantastic job. I want him to work for me. He gave 110% towards everything he did. He has a bright future ahead of him.
It’s the first time I’ve dealt with him and Watson’s and it was an absolute pleasure. I told Latham I will definitely come to him for more business. The whole experience was absolutely superb”.
Graeme Murphy


“We would really like to thank you for all your help with selling this house. It has been a really difficult time and we have had some bad experiences with estate agents just recently. We just appreciated the simple things that you did - you understood that we needed to get a quick sale but that we were also losing money on the house and you just seemed very honest and open with your advice about price etc. Usually you feel like estate agents are either talking the price up or down for their own gain and are then going to let you down later. We also really appreciated the fact that you kept in touch all the time, particularly as it has been a difficult period for us; just knowing that someone was taking care of it and keeping us informed meant so much. You were friendly, reliable and so easy to talk to, and they are so important. You did a wonderful job.

Thank you so much Latham. You have been wonderful through this and we really appreciate everything you have done. You have made a very difficult time so much easier for us and you have been lovely to deal with; it has meant a lot to our family and our stress levels. We will definitely recommend you to others - we're so pleased we went with you, thank you”.

“It is with pleasure we write this. Latham made the sale of our property so easy. He kept us well informed but did not pester us with piddly stuff, these he handled as part of his normal duties.
The only problem we had with the sale of our property was the speed, 2 offers after the first open day. This is a true testament to Latham's skill and knowledge of the pricing and marketing structure. Latham offered us sound, solid advice about marketing without being ridiculous on cost. We can recommend Latham to anyone selling their property we will certainly use him again.”
Dennis and Bev Hancock


“I was very thrilled with the whole procedure, very stress free. I have sold before and they were very trying times. Communication was excellent, suggestions were great and if I wanted changes they were done. I am not just saying that because he is my grandson, he really did a great job!"
Ann Watt


“Latham was very professional, was great at communicating. Everything went smoothly and was hassle free”.
Craig & Rebecca Terry


“Latham was much better than my first agent – he was pro-active and had great communication. He did an excellent job, negotiated well and has got a good career ahead of him.”
