Charles Collins

Charles joined the team at Kellands after a 21-year career with Air New Zealand during which he spent 10 years as In-Flight Service Co-coordinator, overseeing onboard management.

He feels that his time spent with the airline has instilled in him both a commitment for excellence and a desire for building strong working relationships with both colleagues and clients. With every property campaign Charles looks forward to providing a first class service to everyone involved, while ensuring that the process of selling is as enjoyable as possible.

Charles also has a Degree in Horticulture and while involved in the industry focused on residential landscaping. This has created a keen awareness in design. He enjoys the involvement in the marketing of client’s properties and takes special interest in the presentation of all aspects of a property, both inside and out, while ensuring that the client is happy with every step of the sales process. Working alongside Martin Dobson, Charles and Martin form a strong collaborative team providing excellent service and results in both their home areas of St Marys Bay and Waiheke Island.


"The campaign was faultless, and the feedback every step of the way second to none.
As I had never participated in an auction before, I was a little nervous at first. Having dealt with other agents in the past, I had expected to have my hopes wildly inflated at the outset and then massaged south towards the end, even subtly. But you were nothing but honest and frank with me: realistic without being an Eeyore, positive without being a Pollyanna. All in all, I had a very clear picture of where we were at every step of the way and I knew I could trust you implicitly. And, in the end, the auction process was not at all intimidating, so thank you for that.
Even better, Charles, was your tireless campaign to achieve free publicity for my place. Although I knew it was a long-shot, your motivation and responsiveness achieved a front cover feature in the Herald on Sunday’s real estate section, which added amazing value to my campaign spend and was responsible for sharpening potential purchasers’ resolve a week before the auction I am sure!"
