The farming industry and thepeople involved are at the heart of Taranaki, and central to why Tim iscommitted to supporting farmers through property sales and purchases.
Tim is the fourth generationfrom an Irish dairy farming family in South Taranaki, and went to St PatricksCollege, Silverstream. Following that he spent time in Ireland and Australia inthe building trade and playing rugby before coming back to the family farm andworking his way into farm ownership. Twenty years later the farm can allow himtime to follow a new path and become a rural real estate salesperson.
Living just south of Hawerawith his three children and a small collection of pets, Tim has an active roleon the farm during calving, and then has it set up so he only has to overseethe running of the farm. This allows him to contribute to the farming industryin other ways. Tim places heavy importance on the role farming plays in ourcommunity and the people involved in it. He is a facilitator for Taranaki RuralSupport Trust and assists the Trust with the wellbeing of other farmers whenrequired. With school-age children, Tim also coaches some of their sports teamsat times.
Communication and honesty arealways top of the list in Tim’s rule book, and getting the right outcome foryou, the client, is paramount.
