James Mackay

AREINZ / Principal

I have always been interested in Real estate & look forward to assisting my clients with any property matters. Having completed a Bachelor of commerce (in Valuation & Property Management), my sales course through the Real Estate Institute & having a good knowledge of the Golden Bay area, plus having a sense of
humour, you will find me well qualified & easy to work with.

Having been a partner in First National Golden Bay since 2012, has given me a better insight into the real estate industry, after starting working here in 2009.

From April 2019 I’ve been the Principal & Licenced Agent of the company, taking over from the very experienced, Nick Hodgkinson. This is a fantastic opportunity & it’s great having Nick still involved in the business.
Rural/Lifestyle property has been a particular interest, while still being involved in all sectors of the market.

Outside of Real Estate, I enjoy playing golf, fishing & diving, & being actively
involved in the Takaka Volunteer Fire Brigade.
