My wife Kylie Hooker and I are delighted to bring the Raine & Horne Real Estate brand right here to Hamilton and the greater Waikato area.

I was born and bred in the Waikato, growing up on a dairy farm outside of Morrinsville. I spent a most of my time outdoors riding motorbikes and playing rugby with my four brothers. I attended Morrinsville College where I gained level 3 NCEA and University Entrance, before heading to the University of Waikato business school where I achieved a bachelor’s degree in marketing and public relations. Following my time studying I was offered the opportunity to work alongside my brother Mark at Waikato Homes as an apprentice builder, where I built numerous homes from the ground up. I credit Mark for instilling in me an incredible work ethic, a passion for attention to detail and impeccable customer service. The hands-on skills I gained in construction, coupled with my knowledge base in marketing and public relations, give me an enviable advantage over other agents to be able to discuss property and selling strategies beyond a face value level.

We know that people deserve better service and fairer commission; the old real estate model needed a shake-up. With Raine & Horne, we deliver a seismic shake-up to the Waikato real estate market. With the backing of such a powerful brand and nationwide support we are only going from strength to strength.

My friendly and comfortable approach ensures that your needs are front of mind when I’m working for you. I will always act in an honest and reliable manner, with open dialogue to keep you informed through every step of your real estate journey. I’m committed to going the extra mile for you and I make your satisfaction my priority. No matter what the value of your home may be, I treat every client with the highest possible level of service.

Make me your first (or second, but only behind Kylie) point of contact when it comes to selling your home and I promise we will deliver exceptional personalised service and guidance during what is can be a stressful and, at times, confusing process for many people.
