About Scotty Griffiths - Tommy's Real Estate

Tommy's Real Estate is a Wellington-region real estate agency that started up in May 1999 and describes itself as Wellington's market leader and most awarded agency. The business operates across Wellington, Kapiti, Mana and the Hutt Valley, with both Residential and Commercial divisions covering property sales, leasing, developments, and property management through its Tommy's Rentals arm.

The agency's residential services span buying and selling homes, open homes, marketing support for sellers, free property appraisals, and tools like a mortgage calculator and rental yield calculator. On the commercial side, Tommy's handles properties for sale and lease. The company also offers an international buyers advocate service for overseas clients.

Tommy's employs a large team of sales consultants across its regions, led by CEO Ben Castle and Sales Director Blair Double. One of its foundation agents, Scotty Griffiths, has been with the company since its 1999 start-up and has close to 30 years of residential sales experience in the Wellington property market, and has received the company's Sustainability Award and Community Award.

Tommy's Real Estate: A Wellington Region Agency Built Since 1999

Tommy's Real Estate has been operating in the Wellington property market since its start-up in May 1999, growing into what it describes as the region's market leader and most awarded real estate agency. The business now covers Wellington, Kapiti, Mana and the Hutt Valley, with separate Residential and Commercial divisions.

A full range of residential services

On the residential side, Tommy's offers the full cycle of buying and selling support: browsable property listings, scheduled open homes, and coverage of new developments for buyers looking at off-the-plan or newly built options. For sellers, the agency offers a free property appraisal as a starting point, along with dedicated marketing support to help a property stand out. Practical tools like a mortgage calculator and rental yield calculator are also available on the company's website, useful for buyers and investors doing their own numbers before committing.

Commercial sales and leasing

Tommy's also runs a Commercial division, listing properties both for sale and for lease, with the same "sell or lease" appraisal pathway offered to commercial property owners as is available on the residential side.

Property management under one roof

For property owners who'd rather not sell, Tommy's operates a dedicated property management arm, Tommy's Rentals, giving landlords a path to ongoing rental management without having to go to a separate agency.

Support for international buyers

Beyond the local market, Tommy's offers an international buyers advocate service, aimed at supporting overseas-based clients interested in the Wellington property market — a niche offering that reflects the agency's broader ambitions beyond purely local transactions.

A large, established agent network

Tommy's fields a substantial team of sales consultants across its regions, spanning Wellington, Kapiti, Hutt Valley and Mana. The company is led by CEO Ben Castle on the commercial side, with Blair Double as Sales Director for residential. Among the many agents listed, Scotty Griffiths stands out as a foundation agent — he has been with Tommy's since its very first days in May 1999 and brings close to 30 years of residential sales experience to the Wellington market. Scotty describes his approach as market-focused and detail-driven, with an emphasis on building genuine client relationships as the foundation for trust and results. He has been recognised with the company's Sustainability Award and Community Award, and client feedback describes him as courteous, punctual, and an excellent negotiator.

A team-driven culture

Across its various offices, Tommy's presents itself as a business defined by its people as much as its property listings — with dozens of named consultants covering residential and commercial work across the greater Wellington region, backed by a company-wide commitment to shared standards and a long-term approach with clients.

Whether the need is buying a first home, managing an investment property, leasing commercial space, or getting advice as an overseas buyer, Tommy's positions itself as a long-established, full-service option across the Wellington property market.
