Daniel Butler

Rural Manager

About me

Following a lengthy career with LIC, I have built strong working relationships with farmers across the Taranaki region. Continuing to enhance these relationships along with building and fostering new connections is something I’m looking forward to as a rural salesperson.

I was born and bred in Taranaki where I attended Francis Douglas Memorial College. Following this I gained a degree in Criminology and Education from Victoria University in Wellington. This led to a career in the Department of Corrections where I spent six years working across the Wellington region.

Taranaki has always remained home, and I was thrilled to return to the region when the opportunity arose to take up a position with LIC. It has been a rewarding experience to work alongside farmers to achieve their goals and I see my new role in rural real estate as being a natural extension to this.

I currently reside in New Plymouth with my wife and two children and continue to play an active role in our family dairy farm. I am passionate about the success and wellbeing of the Taranaki rural community and am currently a trustee for both the Taranaki Rural Support Trust and Dairy Trust Taranaki.

I have a vast range of experience in the rural industry with communication, integrity and relationships being my key drivers to success. This ensures I have the skillset to work with you to meet your goals and aspirations. Whatever the next step of your journey, contact me today and let me help you make the right move.

Daniel recently sold our family farm that had been in the family for close to 120 years. His communications, assistance and compassion in all matters relating to the sale were outstanding and very much appreciated. He went above and beyond in every way to ensure the sale process went as smoothly as possible. I would highly recommend Daniel to anyone who is looking to sell their rural property.

Daniel came to me accompanied by Peter McDonald for his first listing on the Rural Real Estate Market. He was open and engaging and had a great knowledge of both farming and the local farming community. Daniel was very personable and guided me through the process, making me feel comfortable and confident in all aspects, as I had not had experience in farm sales previously. He is very open and his communication was amazing, keeping me up to date as the need arose. I have enjoyed working with Daniel and wish him my best wishes.

We have found Daniel to be both personable and professional. He made every effort to understand us, our needs and aspirations. Against a very challenging farm sales market background, made even more complex in our case, by both sellers and buyers involving more than one party, Daniel was able to establish trust and demonstrate the resolve and persistence to ultimately succeed in getting a contract concluded. We would certainly be happy to work with Daniel again in the future.
