Pat Portas

Pat has been living and breathing farming in Central Hawke’s Bay for over 40 years. Having sold rural real estate in the region for over 30 of those years, there are few that can match his knowledge and experience.

A graduate of the Smedley Station cadet programme, Pat followed this up with a Diploma of Agriculture at Massey University before settling back in Central Hawke’s Bay. Shepherding and shearing created the platform to purchase the family farm on Snee Road in 1981 where he and Joy, his wife, still live.

In 1991, Pat commenced a career in rural real estate in Central Hawke’s Bay starting with the Professionals in Waipukurau - a business that was sold to Property Brokers in 1998.

This success has resulted in Pat consistently having 40-60% of the local market and being recognized by local and national rural professionals as someone qualified to make comment on the Rural Real Estate market.

Over the years, Pat has seen immense change in the rural market and land use in Central Hawke’s Bay.

Keen to “put back” into the local community, Pat is a member of the Waipukurau Rotary Club and the past Chairman of the board of Smedley Station.

Apart from his family, Pat’s other interest is sport, mainly cricket, rugby and trout fishing on Lake Taupo.
