James PhonEnglish

Originally from Cambodia, James made Northland his home a few years ago after arriving in New Zealand. Since then, he has embraced everything this beautiful region has to offer - from its stunning views to the warmth of its communities.

Before moving to New Zealand, James worked in real estate in Cambodia for several years. Although the industry there is different in many ways, the core values remain the same: honesty, service, and building trust. He is excited to be part of the Ray White team, where he will be sharpening his skills just like he once sharpened his knives working at AFFCO - a valuable experience that taught him the value of patience, precision and following a meticulous process.

Now stepping into the real estate world in Northland, he brings that same work ethic, discipline and drive to deliver the best results for his clients - values that closely align with that of our Ray White Far North teams!

When asked what he enjoyed most about his real estate career, James is quick to reply: “What I enjoyed most about the role was seeing the genuine satisfaction from clients and customers - and the joy when they refer their friends and family because of their positive experience with me.”

Outside of work, James loves spending time with his wife and kids, watching them grow, and exploring the natural beauty of Aotearoa. Northland has become more than just a place to live - it’s where they’ve found purpose and community.
