Commercial real estate is a different trade from residential: the work centres on selling, leasing and valuing offices, retail and industrial property, so meetings are more about yields, lease structures and comparable sales than open homes. The market is thin-traded, and a handful of sales can set the tone for a whole precinct, so a good agent knows one asset class deeply and can point to recent comparable deals nearby. Regulars also know that much of the best stock moves off-market, so relationships count for as much as the listings board.
From its tower on Quay Street to its Christchurch listing, the firm covers the waterfront end of Auckland's commercial heart while keeping a South Island foothold.
