David Cashmore is one of the Waikato’s leading real estate professionals, leading the high-performing commercial team at Bayleys while retaining a high-end portfolio of commercial property. He is supported by a highly skilled, diverse and dynamic Waikato Commercial team who working together provide a market leading, polished, seamless and bespoke service to a broad array of clients.

In his full-time selling days David was New Zealand Rookie of the Year, consistently ranked in the Top 5 % of agents nationwide and has built an enviable reputation across the Waikato for his business acumen and professionalism.

With a string of successful businesses behind him, he turned to real estate some 19 years ago and has sold over $300 million in various forms of property since this time. In the residential space alone he has sold more than 70 properties in the $1 million + bracket, and over 40 properties in prestigious waterfront locations around Hamilton Lake and River Road. A professional in every sense of the word, David takes pride in working with clients in a very open and respectful manner. He believes that every building has a captivating story just waiting to be told, and, has the uncanny ability to find and tell this story in a most compelling way using a team of expert content creators where required. The twists and turns involved in purchasing property, particularly in a volatile or uncertain market, require an astute and experienced guide. David is the guide that astute buyers and sellers around the Waikato return to, time and time again. Why? Because he delivers where it counts.

David’s connections are quite simply unparalleled, and his negotiation skills are second to none. He knows the value of a bespoke service and takes the time to develop marketing plans that are tailored precisely to each individual client, engaging professionals along the way to ensure a polished result every time. He also knows the power of having the right conversations with the right people at the right time. He succeeds in finding buyers others can’t quite simply because he takes the time to have the serious conversations.

With a knack for problem-solving on the fly, David is a unflappable by nature and adept at providing practical solutions when challenges arise. It is this combination of skills which saw him succeed in many other business ventures before real estate. Passionate about cars as a young boy, David began his career as an automotive engineer which led to the co-ownership of Cashmore Motors (a vehicle retail and importing business). He then moved into one of his other passions, tennis, as a professional tennis coach and built a thriving coaching business and retail store. He was named NZ Tennis Coach of the Year in 2001 and also developed, promoted and managed three international tennis tournaments (the ATP Tour in 2000, 2001 and 2002). David also started a nationwide distribution company for sports goods called Advantage Sports.

On a more personal note, as a born and bred Hamiltonian, David is a passionate advocate for the city and is excited about its future development. He and his wife Wendy have loved raising their two children here in the Waikato, taking full advantage of the outdoors at every opportunity. Committed to an active lifestyle (and not afraid of a physical challenge or two!) when David’s not at work, chances are he’ll be off the beaten track somewhere atop his beloved mountain bike.
