Rob Ashton AREINZAn innate understanding of property fundamentals honed within the structural design and project management fields was a great springboard into the real estate industry for Rob Ashton who is a key member of the Bayleys Remuera residential sales team. Having graduated from the University of Auckland in 1989 with a Bachelors Degree in Civil and Structural Engineering, Rob put his academic learnings to work in that industry for 10 years before finding a passion for sales and marketing in the health supplements market both here and in the UK and Europe. Seven years ago, the real estate industry beckoned and after attaining his salespersons certificate, Rob went on to gain his branch managers’ papers via Massey University’s Graduate Diploma in Real Estate course and later, his AREINZ accreditation status. It has been a great career move for Rob - a consistent performer for Bayleys. Not one to do things by halves, Rob believes in the intrinsic value of further education and in staying abreast of market information and economic trends, then passing this knowledge on. “Each month I produce ‘The Rob Report’ which is a synopsis of real estate activity in the Remuera/Parnell area and provides industry statistical data to enable my direct clients - and those who subscribe to this report - to be more informed and thus able to make quality decisions about property,” says Rob. The professionalism and market stronghold of Bayleys is a natural fit with Rob’s personal goals to be a leader in his field. “I think it is very important to work for a company with a strong brand – aligning myself with Bayleys gives me great confidence personally and also adds credibility to real estate transactions with my clients. The behind-the-scenes support that Bayleys offers makes the journey a little easier and allows me to focus on my key areas of expertise – marketing and negotiating,” says Rob. “With the Bayleys name behind me, I can hold my head high when I go out to secure new properties and with a top performing team of other Bayleys agents around me along with the wider Bayleys nationwide network, my clients can be assured that they are in good hands.” Don’t let Rob’s quiet demeanour fool you – he enjoys a challenge and actively seeks out ways to push himself whether it be taking on those who are younger and bigger than him at the martial art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or confronting a wicked surf break in the Maldives, his favourite holiday destination. A career in real estate is not for the timid and behind Rob’s calm and measured exterior is a skilled professional who relishes the opportunity to achieve the very best outcomes for all of his clients. |
