Accurate comparisons can be drawn on these critical characteristics between the careers of successful professional athletes and real estate agents. Both professions require motivation, self-belief, integrity and relentless effort. In both scenario’s, one’s success rests solely on the individual person's ability and commitment to consistently put the hard work in.
Introducing to the Summit Real Estate team, Glyn Delany. Glyn understands better than most the realities faced by professional athletes, and he’s genuinely excited to be able to apply the same structured approach and disciplines to real estate.
Glyn joins the team leaving his most recent position as Head Professional at the Nelson Golf Club. As New Zealand’s highest qualified PGA Professional (the only PGA professional in New Zealand with a diploma in golf management,) Glyn will be sorely missed from the golfing community, both here in Nelson, and Nationally too. “Golf’s loss is Summit’s gain”, as Glyn brings the same level of enthusiasm, drive, and extremely high standards that saw him soar to the highest level of professional golfing, now to the real estate industry.
Passionate about people, and seeing them achieve their aspirations in life, family, and ultimate success in whatever he undertakes, Glyn is 100% devoted to listening to, and assisting people in all walks of life, meeting their real estate needs and seeing them achieve their dreams and ultimate goals. As a passionate Richmond man with a young family, when he’s not running open homes or working with clients, you’ll find Glyn spending his spare time on the side of sports fields, supporting, and cheering his kids on, as well as spending quality time with his wife Kelly. (And still ‘of course’ occasionally out on the golf course!).
Whilst Glyn’s priority over the next year or two is to establish his real estate sales career, he is also devoted to continuing study towards his REAA Branch Manager papers, hence improving both his own personal knowledge and expertise of the industry, but more importantly being able to provide well researched genuine value and credible advice to all his clients going forward.
We put our house on the market with Glyn on Monday and he had it sold by Friday so that is a recommendation in itself! We enjoyed Glyn and his PA; Glyn worked with us purchasing our home and selling our home. He was easy to talk to, answered our texts promptly and we appreciated his sense of humour. A happy experience, well done Glyn.
Phil & Pam Berkett
We found Glyn very professional with his honesty and communication when selling our property, and the purchase of our new property. He exceeded our expectations in marketing and selling our property and finalising our new purchase in just over a week; Glyn achieved a price near the top of the estimated value for our property with no false hopes and superb assistance from his manager, Gordon Webb, and his office staff. We have no hesitation in recommending Glyn and his team and we would use them again.
Greg & Ruth Frost
He is very honest and genuine, gives great feedback, keeps you up to date at all times, very approachable and caring. Thanks heaps Glyn; made the sale and purchase so easy.
Terressa Zwart
Glyn was very professional and his communication was excellent; we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and/or use his services again.
Shona & Chris Allred
Glyn is a true professional in every sense of the word, honest, hard-working and down to earth. His ability to communicate how it is in the way he does is a truly refreshing approach.
David & Helen Kircher
It was Glyn’s knowledge of the local market, his understanding of what we were looking for, and his very pleasant personality that helped find and buy a property that will suit our retirement lifestyle in Richmond.
John & Lesley
Glyn made selling our home easy, understanding our needs and current life situation. Arranging viewings was a breeze and the result was far beyond our expectations. Glyn's drive for success will see many more satisfied clients.
Mike and Nicola
I want to let you know how much your help and professionalism has impressed me in the recent purchase I have made. I have bought and sold properties both in Christchurch and Auckland in the last 25 years and your service has been exceptional.
Thalia Richardson
I’ve known Glyn for over 10 years and I was excited when he said he was becoming a real estate agent. I didn’t hesitate to give him three of our properties to sell as he has all the core attributes needed of being honest, personable and professional.
James Petersen, General Manager, Mike Greer Homes
Selling your home is often stressful, but Glyn was there to provide support and guidance throughout. He genuinely cared about us as people. Very approachable and friendly. We are glad we got to work with Glyn. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him!
