ABOUT LES MORTIMER
Sales of This Level Don't Happen by Chance. With $350+ million of real estate sales to his credit, Les feels blessed that so many people have seen value in employing him to market and negotiate the sale of their properties.
At the fore of this success is the premise that the vendor is the employer and Les is the employee; Les puts his wealth of experience in smart marketing, communication, negotiation and natural people skills on the line every time for his clients.
Les often says “THE BEST LISTING I CAN HAVE, IS A SOLD LISTING”. His vendors agree.
Personal Background. Born and raised in the port town of Bluff, the most southern town in the South Island of New Zealand, in his youth, Les spent much time on his dad's commercial fishing boat, in the Fiordland Sounds, fishing for crayfish, and on the east coast of Stewart Island fishing for blue cod.
Managing and owning businesses from the age of 18, and being involved in real estate marketing and sales (residential, commercial, businesses) for over 28 years, Les has gained substantial experience, which he derives pleasure from putting to work for his many clients.
Married to Desiree, the love of his life for 40 years, and living in Mosgiel, the fastest growing area of greater Dunedin, has been a delight and continues to be so since their daughter Chantal, and son in law Luke, have also made Mosgiel their home. This comes with the added joy of being so handy to their grand daughter Zoe.

UNLIKE REAL ESTATE OF OLD, when agents drove buyers from property to property to get an understanding of their likes and dislike; today buyers do their own hunting for property, and via well proven marketing techniques, Les attracts all existing and new buyers to each property he markets at the same time; which in turn generates the most competitive environment in the shortest time frame to negotiate the sale of the property at the best possible price for his vendors.
The best person to sell your home is the one that has listed it, because they have all the knowledge about the property, have the best relationship with the vendor and purchaser and are in the best position to negotiate the best possible result in the shortest time frame.
