John Petry

John Petry is a Real Estate Consultant – but perhaps more importantly he is also a first class face-to-face communicator, a marketer and a negotiator. During a working life predominantly in sales, marketing and management, John has always been able to indulge his passion for people. Today he is part of the close-knit and utterly dedicated team at Harcourts’ Morrinsville office where he specializes in listing and selling residential and commercial properties, both for his clients to live in or for their real estate investments. Today, as a consultant whose career hugely depends on referrals and repeat business, Customer Service is John’s main priority. This is an obvious, but not always observed, requirement for any sales organization. In today’s world of informed consumers the most important requirement is not for a “salesman” but for a “Marketer and Negotiator”, a bridge between buyer and seller. This is where John’s people skills will help you with your Real Estate requirements.

After obtaining his Real Estate Salesperson Certificate in 1995, Kevin joined Harcourts and obtained his AREINZ papers in 1997. 2002 marked the start of the Kevin Deane Real Estate Limited brand, when he and his wife Andrea bought their first Harcourts franchise in Morrinsville. The Cambridge franchise was added to the business in 2006, and Matamata in 2007. Today, Kevin Deane Real Estate is a well-known and respected brand, firmly establishing Harcourts in the three key farming communities of the sought after “golden triangle” in the Waikato. The company services Cambridge, Morrinsville, Matamata and the Greater Waikato area for residential, lifestyle, rural, commercial and rural economic properties. Kevin and Andrea run the business between them, and Kevin is also a highly-experienced specialist in rural farm sales, and the company’s auctioneer.

Over 20 years on from where it all started, Kevin still genuinely loves what he is doing and sits comfortably in his niche selling lifestyle properties and farms. His gregarious personality and infectious sense of humour reflect his continued interest and passion for the business he and Andrea have created, and their long term relationship with Harcourts.

Susan Douglas AREINZ

Susan is vastly experienced in the business of Real Estate. She has been in the industry since 1984, working in Morrinsville since 1991 and with Harcourt’s KDRE Morrinsville since 2012. As an AREINZ she is thoroughly qualified in the relevant law and processes. If repeat business is a hallmark of success then Susan is very successful indeed. The strong friendship developed with satisfied clients is another positive string to her bow. She is a team player and her office regards her as a wonderful member of the company. Susan’s comments “The real estate industry has changed vastly with the huge use of technology since I first came into the business. What hasn’t changed is the personal service that clients expect and should always receive. A real estate agent has to be a people person, a negotiator, a marketer and a person who understands the excitement and sometimes the anxieties that people experience when buying or selling their property. When I first started in the business I was told the three most stressful experiences in a person’s life is marriage, divorce and buying and selling real estate!! Well I can’t help with the first two, but I can certainly help to make the real estate side as much fun and stress free as possible.

Bridget Barker

The glue that holds the Morrinsville office together is the easiest way to describe our Office Administrator. Having been here longer than most of our salespeople, Bridget’s understanding of the real estate industry’s legal requirements ensures that a correct and efficient service is delivered throughout the office from the front desk to the rural field. Bridget and her husband Roy are great travellers of the world, and often the envy of fellow office workers in this regard.
