Les Ballantyne

I was born and raised in Oamaru, and went on to Lincoln to study a Bachelor of Agricultural Science. After completing my studies, I was a farm advisor for the Ministry of Agriculture and Farming. Later, when Elizabeth and I were married, we returned to farm in Georgetown and then Ardgowan. I joined A C Spivey Real Estate as a Sales Consultant in 2010. In my spare time, I’ve been involved with the Operatic and Repertory Societies, and am now in Rotary. And we are still here in Oamaru. Why? Because Oamaru was one of the best kept secrets in New Zealand, until recently. The town is great, the farms are incredible and the views are awesome. I have an enthusiasm for this area, and that’s what you need when selling your property. And that is why I am with “The Local Firm” – North Otago means a lot to us.
