Personal Background

Bob was born and educated in Invercargill, where he spent seven years as a Government survey draughtsman, gaining formal draughting qualifications. He then changed direction in 1966 to become an advocate for real estate acquisition by the Crown, working both in Auckland and Wellington. This marked the start of an ongoing lengthy career in the property business, which has also included real estate acquisition advocacy for New Zealand's once largest local authority, and valuing for the Government Valuation Department. He progressed to become property manager for the same local authority, went on to a similar post for a major national retail department store chain and is now in private practice valuation and property consultancy.

Bob has therefore gained unique and extensive experience in the commercial, industrial and residential fields.

Although Bob Hawkes practises as a registered valuer on contract to TelferYoung (Auckland), one of the respected valuation practices forming part of the TelferYoung group of several valuation practices providing valuation services throughout New Zealand, he retains an empathy towards utilising:
