With more than 25 years of hands-on experience in New Zealand’s wine industry and formal qualifications in viticulture, Mike is widely regarded as the go-to advisor for rural, lifestyle, vineyard, winery, leasing, and investment sales. His proven track record, deep industry knowledge, and strong regional networks make him a valuable addition to the Property Brokers family.
While Mike’s roots are firmly in the wine sector, his new role sees him covering all real estate disciplines, including commercial and residential property.
“Joining Property Brokers was the right move for me and my clients,” says Mike. “The company’s support, systems, and culture allow me to do what I do best – connect the right people with the right opportunities and deliver results. Whether it’s a vineyard, a lifestyle block, a family home, or a commercial development, I’m here to help Marlborough locals and investors make smart, confident decisions.”
Mike’s career spans vineyard management, wine marketing, leasing, and consulting – giving him an insider’s perspective few can match. This combination of practical know-how and strategic insight has earned him a reputation as one of Marlborough’s most trusted property advisors.
Property Brokers Managing Director Guy Mordaunt says Mike’s appointment is a natural fit.
“A lot of our growth isn’t part of some grand plan – it happens because great people who share our values and love what we stand for want to be part of it,” says Guy. “Mike joining us in Marlborough is one of those moments. He’s a seasoned professional with extensive experience in both the wine industry and the property market, and together we’re excited to bring Marlborough the kind of real estate service and solutions that make a real difference in the community we call home.”
Regional Director John Arends agrees, noting Mike’s unique ability to navigate Marlborough’s diverse property landscape.
“Marlborough is a unique market with a wide variety of property needs, and Mike is one of the few who can work confidently across them all,” says John. “He has the credibility, relationships, and market insight to serve the full spectrum of clients – from lifestyle property owners to vineyard investors and commercial developers.”
Based in Marlborough, Mike is ready to assist property owners, investors, and business operators across the region. Whether you’re buying, selling, or leasing, Mike’s focus is on delivering outstanding results backed by experience, insight, and a genuine commitment to his clients.
