About Martin

Born and bred in Dunedin, Martin Whangapirita brings a fresh, strategic approach to the local property market. With a strong academic background in Geography and Marketing Management from the University of Otago, Martin combines an in-depth understanding of Dunedin’s unique neighborhoods with modern, high-impact property marketing strategies to achieve premium results for his clients.

Specializing in both residential sales and investment portfolios, Martin’s philosophy is built on advocacy and mutual success. He firmly believes that real estate is a partnership, working tirelessly to ensure that both vendors and buyers walk away from a transaction with an exceptional, positive outcome. By leveraging advanced technology, strong team collaboration, and Harcourts’ industry-leading marketing suites, he delivers maximum market exposure for sellers and sharp, data-driven insights for buyers.

Martin understands that navigating the property market can be a daunting experience. His unwavering objective is to remove the stress from the process through constant communication, transparent advice, and being readily available whenever his clients need him.

Deeply embedded in the local community, Martin is a familiar face outside the office. He has previously contributed to local sport by serving on the committees of both the Carisbrook Dunedin Cricket Club and the Dunedin Cricket Association. When he isn’t negotiating deals or hosting open homes, he can usually be found out on Dunedin's walking tracks with his dog, Patrick, chasing the Aurora Australis through his passion for astrophotography, or losing the occasional golf ball at the St Clair Golf Club.
