David Rainbow has won just about every award going since he got into the real estate business nearly 36 years ago. He’s been Bayleys’ top-selling agent in New Zealand three times, and was their first residential agent to achieve over $1bn in sales.
David is very proud of his achievements, but while the kudos is nice, at the end of the day the reward he chases is knowing his vendor is happy.
Three and half decades in real estate is a long time.
It is, but I’m still doing it because I love it. I always get enormous satisfaction out of seeing both vendors and buyers very happy when the transaction goes through. That’s why I’ve kept doing the job so long, and why I have no intention of retiring even though I will be 70 this year. The main person who has helped me is my wife Leonie, and we worked very successfully together for 10 years; she still forms an incredibly supportive part of my business.
