About Max
Every client deserves the best possible result with one of the biggest decisions of their life. That belief is what drives everything I do as a real estate agent in Palmerston North and the wider Manawatu region. I believe real estate is built on strong communication, transparency, and dedication — and above all, it's about YOU.
Whether you're buying, selling, or looking for a property appraisal in Palmerston North or Manawatu, my focus is simple — clear communication, strong negotiation and results that exceed expectations.
I started in real estate with one simple belief: every client deserves the best result on one of the biggest decisions of their life. No shortcuts, no excuses — just consistency, hard work and genuine commitment to every person I work with. That mindset has shaped every year since:
- 2022 — Rookie of the Year, Professionals Manawatu
- 2023 — Top 50 Nationwide, Professionals New Zealand
- 2024 — Top 25 Nationwide, Professionals New Zealand
- 2025 — No. 1 Sales Agent, Professionals Manawatu (All Offices)
- 2026 — Most Improved Agent in New Zealand, Professionals New Zealand
- 2026 — No. 9 in New Zealand, Professionals New Zealand
The journey continues. Every campaign, every client, every result is one more step toward one goal — No. 1 in New Zealand.
Outside real estate, I captain Palmerston Cricket Club and coach junior cricket. This constantly reminds me success doesn't happen by accident — it requires energy to burn, commitment, and more importantly, consistency. I bring the same discipline and winning mindset to every property campaign.
I'm supported by Olivia Mumford, Sales Associate, who too brings warmth, energy and genuine care to every client journey. As a recent first home buyer herself, Olivia understands the process from both sides and is committed to making every step feel clear and stress-free. Together, we make the process smooth and tailored entirely to YOU.
As part of the Professionals network, every property we sell contributes to the Child Cancer Foundation — a cause we are proud to support. Professionals New Zealand has raised over $5.6 million for the Foundation since 1994, and that sense of giving back is something we carry into everything we do.
If you're looking for a trusted real estate agent in Palmerston North or Manawatu — for residential property, lifestyle property, your first home, upsizing or downsizing — we'd love to help.

Professional and personable
We recently purchased a house through Max and had a fantastic experience. He was professional, personable, and clearly passionate about what he does. His work ethic and character really stood out to us from the start. At the same time, we were looking for an agent to sell our own home, and choosing Max was an easy decision. He communicated clearly throughout the process and demonstrated strong knowledge of the market, which gave us great confidence. We would highly recommend Max to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.
Quality man, this shows in his results
We chose Max to sell our home after the great experience we had purchasing another property through him, and it was absolutely the right decision. He’s a man of character—straight up, no nonsense—and someone you can genuinely trust. Max works hard, communicates clearly, and gets the job done. When you’re paying significant fees to agents, you want to know it’s worth it—and with Max, it absolutely is. We had a quick sale, and the whole process was as stress-free as you could hope for. We’d highly recommend Max to anyone thinking of selling. It’s a no-brainer. Thanks Max top bloke.
