Market Update: Arable & Support Blocks

Prior to joining Colliers, Tim had 25 years agribusiness banking experience in the North and South Island in relationship management, business development and senior leadership roles.

He completed and peer reviewed rural valuations throughout his banking career.  His banking skills include agribusiness finance, credit analysis and rural valuation.

With his wife he owns an irrigated, intensive stock and cropping property in North Canterbury.

The family property was leased prior to farming meaning Tim understands the lease market, has experience dealing with lessor and lessees and negotiating lease agreements.

Tim brings to the Colliers Rural Valuation and Advisory team agribusiness banking and practical farming experience, an understanding of irrigation and environmental compliance as well as a strong network of farmers and their advisors.

His focuses are all types of rural land valuation throughout the South Island and advisory work in the rural sector.
