Bob Hawkes, FAMINZ (Arb/Med), FNZPI

 

 

 

 

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 more recently in private practice valuation and property consultancy.

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

Having retired from valuation practice at the end of 2010, Bob now concentrates on applying his skills solely to dispute resolution.
