Sales and marketing have always been part of Mike Simpson’s world. Raised within a family-run Auckland advertising agency with nearly four decades behind it, he learned early how influence works - not just campaigns, but people.

Mike is exceptionally well connected. His strength isn’t just who he knows, it’s how he brings the right people together. Buyers don’t sit in one pool; they exist in layers of networks. Mike knows how to move through them, quietly connecting the dots to create opportunity where others don’t see them.

At first glance, he’s gregarious and easygoing but spend more time with him and you realise that’s only part of the picture. Behind it is someone deliberate and strategic, always thinking laterally about how to get a result. Mike is sharp in that way - measured, but never predictable.

Professionally, Mike has worked with global brands including Porsche, McLaren, Microsoft and HP, and played a key role in building an award-winning software start-up. That background gives him a strong commercial lens and a genuine understanding of how to position something properly in a competitive market.

His interest in property started early, shaped by time spent around friends in architecture and a curiosity about why certain homes command attention - and price - over others. That thinking still underpins how he approaches every campaign.

For Mike, it’s not just the final number - it’s whether the outcome feels right for the people involved. If everyone walks away knowing it was handled properly, that’s the result he’s aiming for.
