🚗 Mike’s Tip of the Week.
Your Health Is Your Best Asset

Working in rural real estate means plenty of fresh air, walking paddocks, opening gates and climbing hills.

Looking after your health doesn’t have to be complicated… just keep moving.

Although I have to admit… this little runabout makes the recovery trip a lot easier! 😄

If you’re thinking of selling your rural, lifestyle or commercial property, I’d love to help.

MUST BE SOLD – FORMER SAWMILL & INDUSTRIAL YARD

MAUNGAKARAMEA 712 Maungakaramea Road, Maungakaramea

ID WHC224932
By Negotiation

After 40 years in business, this sawmill has closed abruptly just six months ago, and the 80-year-old owner is heading south in the campervan - everything must go.

This 1.2-hectare property, zoned Rural Industry (light Industrial), offers huge industrial shedding, a fully established yard, and the full sawmill plant still in place. Buyers can pick up a fully operational mill and yard or convert the site into your next business opportunity - whether a truck yard, storage yard, or other light industrial use.

Located just 15 minutes south of Whangarei and close to State Highway 1, this is a rare chance to secure a ready-to-use industrial site in a prime location.

Don’t miss your chance – opportunities like this are few and far between. Enquire today before it’s gone!

🚜😂 Mike’s Tip of the Day 😂🚜

Today’s lesson…

Never let your workmate drive ....
if you plan on making farm noises all the way there. 🐄🤣

Poor Val thought she was heading to an appraisal…

Instead, she got a front-row seat to Mike’s one man comedy show! 😂

By the end of the trip…

* Playlist: Questionable 🎵
* Professionalism: Briefly misplaced 🤪
* Laughter: 10/10 😂

Mike’s Tip of the Day:
Life’s too short to take yourself too seriously… but when it comes to rural real estate, I always mean business. 🚜👌

🚜 I Speak Fluent Rural. So You Don’t Have To.

🐑 Some people speak corporate…
Mike speaks rural.

He knows the difference between a good paddock and a good story, understands what makes buyers stop scrolling, and works hard to get the best result for every property.

Whether it’s a dairy farm, beef block, grazing block, lifestyle property or commercial land, Mike combines local knowledge, honest advice and a bit of rural humour to make selling easier.

Because around here…
Rural isn’t just what he does. It’s who he is.

📞 Thinking about selling?
Let’s have a yarn.

🦈 Proud to Stand Behind the Western Sharks & Kaihu Rugby 🦈

As the major sponsor of the Western Sharks, I couldn’t be prouder to support a club that represents the passion, resilience and community spirit of Northland rugby.

For more than 35 years, I’ve had the privilege of giving back to our region by sponsoring local sports clubs, schools, community groups and many other initiatives that help make Northland such a fantastic place to live and raise a family.

Supporting the Western Sharks and Kaihu Rugby is an extension of that long-standing commitment to our local communities. I believe in backing local people, celebrating success, and helping create opportunities for future generations.

I’d like to sincerely thank all the clubs, schools, families and supporters who have allowed me to be part of their journey over the years. Your trust and support mean a great deal to me.

I’m also incredibly humbled to be ranked 12th in New Zealand for Rural Sales with Property Brokers this year. That achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the loyalty and confidence of my wonderful clients.

If you’re thinking about selling your farm, lifestyle block, commercial property or rural land, I’d be honoured to be your first call.

Good luck to the Western Sharks this weekend—bring home the win!

🦈 Go the Sharks! Go Kaihu!
