Darren Austin is married to Wendy, together they have 4 children.
Darren has been actively been marketing Real Estate for 16 years in the Hawke’s Bay. During this time he has risen to the top in the industry winning many awards & accolades. Positioned in an elite group of sale professionals as one of the highest achievers in Hawke’s Bay in this industry and has been ranked in the top 20 sales professionals in NZ many times through-out his career to date. He runs mentor programs and training initiatives for fellow agents through out the bay area and loves to teach fellow salespeople how to achieve the best results. He’s also an experienced Auctioneer having run many auctions both charity and work related.
Darren is what we term a go- getter and goes that extra mile to get the best results. He also has a 4th Dan Black Belt in Taekwondo – past president of a local football club and is also one of Hawkes Bay footballs leading senior referees.
Darren’s other passion is American muscles cars and together with his wife can be seen around local and international car shows.
It was only natural that Darren would open up his own Realestate business. He prefers the boutique style with a small hand picked staff of salespeople around him complimenting his approach to Realestate.
His motto of bigger certainly isn’t better, pays big dividends to clients in the bay area.
Austins Realestate salespeople earn well above the medium income as Darren’s unique business model fully supports a sales persons earning potential.
