John joins St James + Co with more than 20 years of legal experience in Auckland and Melbourne, bringing a strong background in negotiation, communication and client care to his work in real estate.

Beginning his career in commercial litigation in Auckland, John later moved to Melbourne, where he practised family and child protection law before becoming the managing partner of his own law firm. His experience has shaped a considered approach to negotiation, a close attention to detail and an understanding of the importance of clear communication when clients are making significant decisions.

At St James + Co, John brings these skills to helping people buy and sell property in Mangawhai, with a focus on straightforward advice, thoughtful guidance and achieving the best possible outcome for each client.

Outside of real estate, John enjoys a round of golf at Te Arai Links or Mangawhai Golf Course, time at Mangawhai Bowls, a visit to the beach or pottering in the garden.
