We have worked with Pat as a farming family over the past 20 years. This has involved both the successful selling and buying of farm property. During this time, Pat has acted as our sole property agent, involved in the sale of 4 farming properties owned by us, including a variety of dry stock and dairy farms. In each instance, we have entrusted our farm to Pat as we trust his professionalism and have great confidence in his knowledge and understanding of our farms, and the area in which we live. Pat is discreet, efficient and highly effective, and we have obtained great results with every sale and purchase that he has handled for us. He keeps us informed every step of the way, and offers experienced advice when discussing property marketing needs and sale options. With so many competing and available real estate options and agents available in our area, we have been confident and comfortable to always entrust our properties to Pat and his team. We are pleased to say that our reward for this has always been highly successful sales and purchases of farms. As an experienced, established farming family living in the Central Hawkes Bay area, we highly endorse Pat Portas as a rural estate agent.

Plantation Road Dairies is a large scale irrigated, intensive run Dairy farm in Central Hawkes Bay milking 2,200 cows all year round. We purchased our first farm in CHB in April 2000. In 2002 we expanded buying another farm to use as a support block through Property Brokers (Pat Portas). Since then we have purchased other farms with Pat’s assistance and have used him as a ‘go to’ person to keep in touch with what the market is doing. I have also had contact with him on behalf of a large scale Manawatu farming business of which I am a Director. We find Pat to be honest in our dealings and well researched, he has a vast array of contacts and local knowledge. I can confidently recommend Pat to any prospective purchaser or seller.
