Terence brings a wealth of practical experience, global property knowledge and a hands-on approach to real estate, making him a trusted partner for buyers and sellers in the Eastern Bays market. He combines fresh industry insight with over 40 years of experience in the building sector including running his own flooring company and working as a tradesman in the UK and Sydney.
Born in London, Terence spent a decade in Sydney before settling in New Zealand 11 years ago. Having personally bought, renovated and sold properties across three countries he understands the nuances and challenges of property transactions from multiple perspectives. This international experience gives him the empathy and knowledge to guide clients through the process with confidence and ease.
Terence was drawn to real estate not only through his own property journey but also by the opportunity to work alongside his partner, Paula Halford, a seasoned Bayleys agent. He sees Bayleys’ extensive resources, professional processes and community connections as key tools to deliver exceptional outcomes for his clients.
What sets Terence apart is his hands-on building knowledge, which allows him to assess properties with a critical eye, offer practical advice and build genuine rapport with clients. He and Paula have successfully marketed their own properties during challenging market conditions, achieving sales in under two weeks, a testament to their strategic approach and understanding of buyer behaviour.
Terence thrives on helping people find the right property fit and assisting sellers in achieving their goals. He emphasises connection and trust, combining Paula’s market experience with his building experience to provide a personalised, transparent and results-driven service. He stays ahead of the pack through diligent market research, proactive community engagement and maximising Bayleys’ marketing tools and network.
Outside of real estate, Terence enjoys sports, including football, baseball and rugby, and is passionate about dogs and the local community. He has trained people to an advanced level in motorcycle riding since 1998 and enjoys bringing the same discipline, focus and humour to his professional life. Clients choosing Terence can expect honesty, resilience and a personal approach backed by decades of real-world experience, making the journey of buying or selling property smooth, informed and rewarding.
