Mike Freeman - He's been around the world, written a book about it, and now works for Ray White as a property consultant.

Mike comes to the local property market with a long history in sales and marketing, albeit in adventure tourism running one of the most successful hunting and fishing companies in New Zealand.

"Mike completed his real estate course (National Certificate) in record time", Adam Rogers Licensee Agent/Director of Ray White Next Step Realty Ltd said.

And while he's travelled extensively through Asia, Europe, North America, Canada, Mexico, and the Middle East, and gone on to write a book about hunting safaris in these parts - published in October 2012 - Mike is thrilled to be back working in New Zealand.

Outside of work Mike is a keen writer, and wildlife photographer and has had many articles and photos published in magazines and books.

He and his wife Ruth have two grown up children, Debbi and Daniel, and one grandchild, Mitchell.
