Why Lyons

Established for You

Relationship-Focused 

  • Focusing on a long term relationship with you. Traditional real estate brokering is highly transactional and, in our opinion does not pay enough attention to 'the long term'. Some competitors need steady cash flow to pay for unnecessary overheads, thus putting pressure on an agent to get a deal done in the shortest time frame.

  • You can expect to have discussions with us about how a deal may impact your portfolio now and in the future.

  • Relationships across the board with professional advisors and other agents.

    • Continually building new relationships across New Zealand in various sectors, in order to share insights with you.

    • We specialise where other agencies may not and they too may specialise in an area that we do not.

Great Tools for Great Brokers​

  • Your broker has a secure data bank that is easily accessible with our in-house broker application and customer relationship management platform.   

  • Your broker will spend less time in front of their computer and more time putting people together by using one integrated system.

  • You will see assets marketed using modern targeting techniques.

  • We have the ability to change with the times and the market. Decisions can be made faster without t downtime and bureaucracy.

Tom Lyons

A proud local, Tom was raised on the Southeastern banks of Lake Taupo and moved back to Taupo in 2018, after spending a year of brokering and training in Hawkes Bay. The move home was not straightforward as he did not have access to data so crucial to transacting in the commercial and industrial real estate market. His focus on relationships coupled with the determination to build a presence saw him transact 21 deals totalling over $500,000 first-year annual rentals, and over $13.7 million in sales in year one. Over the three years Tom has been in Taupo, the total number of transactions has surpassed the 65 mark, with over $1.8m in first-year annual rentals, and $34 million in total sales. 

 

Tom has become the ‘go-to broker’ for commercial and industrial property investors and developers. He has unrivalled knowledge of square meter rates, yields, financial documentation, the town’s growth and what’s happening ‘in the background’ in the local market.

 

In January 2020 Tom started Lyons Asset Brokerage which was to be launched in April 2020. The Covid lockdown put these plans on hold, however, it gave him an extra month to perfect his back-end systems to ensure less time in front of a computer and more time ‘in the field’. He utilises bespoke software and digital marketing techniques to put people at the forefront of his business with the view that relationships should outlast a transaction.

 

Tom has a double degree majoring in accounting and IT infrastructure. Before setting his sights on the property industry he managed current assets and audited information systems for a giant in the e-commerce and payment industry, travelled the world living in Italy, Canada, and the USA, working as a deckhand on superyachts, a farmhand and a white water rafting guide. After the travel bug had been put to rest he built his first business in Auckland specialising in detailing, and valeting vehicles in the high-end market and subsequently won a substantial entrepreneurial grant.
