Steve has been involved in property from a young age and, following years of helping his parents out with managing their property portfolio, at the age of 14, Steve became the youngest real estate agent in New Zealand.

After buying his first investment property at age 16, by the age of 18, Steve had built up a portfolio of investment properties and moved into property development. He then spent the next two years building and selling properties throughout the country.

In the wake of the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, Steve took a hiatus from property to pursue other business opportunities, including creating one of the first tax refund companies in New Zealand.

Following the Christchurch earthquake in 2011, Steve took the opportunity to start purchasing ‘as is where is’ properties and, over the next few years, built up an impressive commercial portfolio, along with continuing to build his residential property portfolio together with James.

In 2009, following graduating from Lincoln University with a BCom VPM (Valuation and Property Management) degree, James began his professional career working at Simes (now Bayleys/KnightFrank) as a commercial property agent.

Following the Christchurch earthquake in 2011, James sold three sites to developers, of which he then presold over thirty million dollars in new industrial units. Over the following 18-months, James also began trading and selling in what would become known as the ‘as is where is market’.

James has spent the last ten years building Wolfbrook Residential whilst completing numerous ‘as is where is’ developments and continuing to grow his residential investment portfolio.
