Meet Patrick McAteer - aficionado of fine food and fine watches, level-headed local, and real estate agent with New Zealand Sotheby’s International Realty.
Patrick’s professional life includes coming up through the ranks of sales and marketing roles, MD of an advertising agency, GM of a music TV channel, CEO of a film company, restaurant owner/operator and even a heli-biking guide.
After a varied and fast-paced career in the business world he is jumping into the deep end of real estate with senior roles at an award winning real estate agency.
Now Patrick has joined New Zealand Sotheby’s International Realty (NZSIR) - where his appreciation for quality meets his work ethic.
Sotheby’s International Realty, launched in 1976, is the world’s leading and pre-eminent luxury residential real estate company with nearly 1,000 offices worldwide. Their distinct point of difference is the ability to connect premium buyers to premium properties locally and globally through their referral system.
In 2005 Julian Brown and Mark Harris turned their existing real estate agency into New Zealand Sotheby’s International Realty and subsequently achieved record sale prices across multiple sectors and regions in the New Zealand property market.
Now with offices throughout New Zealand and a renewed international demand for distinctive New Zealand property, the sales teams have been involved with over NZ$5 billion in sales.
They match their extraordinary properties with remarkable service. They’ve nurtured a culture of performance driven by a hand-picked team, each chosen because of their integrity, honesty, determination and ability. And that’s where Patrick comes in, joining a brand that feels like home.
Whether running large organisations where shareholders needed assurance, or starting his own enterprises where he needed to back himself, meant Patrick is used to building businesses, building teams and building relationships.
“Here at NZSIR I feel like my personal brand and their premium brand are a nice match. I bring my experience, skills and values to the business of property with the backing of an international network and local integration.”
And together they are a perfect fit for the area. This neighbourhood is where quality properties abound and where Patrick has called home for the last 30 years.
“Everybody loves talking about property, but I’m all about acting on property. There can be a lot of emotion wrapped up in someone’s labour of love, family home or estate, so I’m here to represent, set the scene and attract attention.”
Living where you love being, yet originally from Fairlie in the South Island, and with time spent living and working in Germany and Wanaka, Patrick and the family have always returned back here for unmatched lifestyle, opportunities, friends, extended family and an extensive professional network.
Married with two busy teenagers who are his favorite companions on skiing and surfing expeditions, he gives back to his community by coaching sports and volunteering for Auckland Coastguard.
Every day begins by walking Border Collie ‘Fergie’ along the fantastic Westhaven waterfront. Patrick knows what it means to live here, and what it takes to sell here.
