Paul Hurrell brings a unique mix of life experiences and skills to the local Real Estate Industry. Paul honed these skills during service in both the NZ Defence Force, then as a Detective Sergeant in the NZ Police, before senior corporate security risk roles in Australasia. Important experience to have when helping his clients sell, buy or appraise their biggest investments.“Having lived in large cities and rural towns I know the benefits of both. We chose Morrinsville for many reasons, but its central location to major cities and the central North Island was important, the value for money property prices and that community feeling are the bonus.”Paul’s professionalism and work ethic has led him to be a previous winner of the NZ Investigator of the Year award which was followed when he was also named Australasian Risk Manager of the Year.Community involvement is important to Paul having served twenty years as a volunteer fireman in various brigades around New Zealand and as a mentor for fatherless boys through the Big Buddy programme. Paul continues this community spirit today with as an active member of the Morrinsville Community Patrol Group.A keen gardener, Paul also loves to combine his love of travel and photography, winning a photo competition for wildlife photographs while travelling in Colombia.With his work and personal experiences, Paul brings a strong ability to negotiate successful outcomes for his clients while guiding them through the regulatory and sometimes stressful processes that can be created in today’s real estate market.“For large numbers of New Zealanders, our wealth is in our homes, my experiences and skills enable me to identify issues early and provide, what can be complex information, in useable formats and convey this in such a way that my clients remain in control of their sale or buying processes.”Paul and his wife Gina, a qualified gemmologist, moved to Morrinsville after living in Australia for 7 years, via a short stop in Auckland. “I understand the pressures that urban living can bring and the desire to find a better lifestyle for myself and my family. My wife and I have made that decision and the move and never looked back, come and join us!”
