Hello, I’m Roger – a residential property sales consultant based right here in beautiful Wānaka. I’m excited to launch this regular column where I’ll be sharing thoughts on the local property market, lifestyle insights, and stories from the heart of our community.

With over 20 years of experience in sales and marketing across New Zealand, Australia, the UK, and the USA, I’ve had the privilege of working in a wide range of markets. These experiences have shaped my approach to real estate: strategic, people-focused, and grounded in trust. For me, property isn’t just about transactions - it’s about helping people find their place in the world.

Wānaka is one of those rare places where lifestyle and community come together in perfect harmony. Living in paradise is a privilege we share, but with that privilege comes a sense of responsibility. As locals, we’re not just residents - we’re guardians of the land, the culture, and the spirit of this place. It’s a region defined not only by its breath-taking beauty but also by the warmth, resilience, and care of its people. Together, we shape the future of Wānaka, and together, we protect what makes it so special.

I’m proud to call Wānaka home and even prouder to contribute to its future. Outside of work, you’ll find me on the golf course, tennis court, or volunteering with Trap New Zealand - an organisation dedicated to protecting our native wildlife. Sustainability is close to my heart, and I believe it’s key to preserving the lifestyle we all love here.

At Colliers, I have the support of a local network, bringing strategic insight, market knowledge, and a wide-reaching network to every client relationship. Whether you’re buying, selling, or simply curious about the market, I’m here to help with professionalism, integrity, and a genuine passion for this place we all call home.

This blog is a space for sharing - not just property tips and market updates, but also reflections on what makes Wānaka special. I look forward to connecting with you, hearing your stories, and helping you navigate your property journey with confidence.

Until next time,

Roger
