Daniel Horrobin is the Director of City Realty Group (CRG) – One of New Zealand’s largest Ray White groups – guiding an organisation of 4 branches, 6 specialist offerings and over 250 staff around Central Auckland.
Daniel may hold the key leadership role, yet he thinks like the salesperson he started out as. His approach is critical to the success of the group because first and foremost, his focus is on the success of his team. That’s where the ‘Family Factor’ comes in.
Having been passed the reins by father Phil – who started the business 16 years ago – Dan has faced successes and challenges head on. Like his dad, he continues to create an atmosphere in which opportunities are created, individuals are recognised and everyone grows.
He believes in bringing people together, so ‘business as usual’ is where management meets mentorship, where what’s good for the group is weighed up alongside what’s good for each team member and where doing good by colleagues, clients and community encourages a down-to-earth sensibility.
Direction for the group begins with Dan and extends through the entire CRG family: Create. Recognise. Grow.

I'll be writing to commend the whole team involved in this sale, but briefly, Daniel's email to me 6 April said "You can be confident that based on our experience with selling CBD car parks... we will achieve you a fantastic outcome". Come the sale at auction of Carpark 5 Unit BA 148 Quay St on 14 December for $265K, the outcome couldn't have been more fantastic!
Very responsive and great customer service.
Listened to what I wanted and sold the property accordingly.
Daniel has a very pleasant and professional manner and always does what he says

If I was awarding stars then it’s 5 for Daniel Horrobin! I have had many real estate dealings over the years and can honestly say this was the best. I was truly impressed with Daniel’s focus, energy, professionalism and friendliness! It was a most pleasant, un-stressful experience which delivered an excellent result in super quick time. At every stage Daniel kept me informed of where things were up to. He has a knack of making everything run smoothly but with some fun and enjoyment in it too! I would certainly recommend Daniel for truly effective real estate service”
It is with pleasure that I write to commend Daniel Horrobin & Damian Piggin and the Apartment Team at Ray White real estate of the sterling job they did to sell our apartments in Cityzone. It is without doubt that I would recommend them as being some of the best in their field and unlike other real estate experiences I found this one without hiccups. We were always kept informed of the progress and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. The reporting and communication were exceptional. The City apartment specialists are indeed a team that I would not hesitate in recommending to others. Certainly made the real estate journey a pleasurable one. From our first meeting with the Secretary Amanda Fonoti, who went out of her way to deal with exceptional circumstances in getting signatures from an overseas director right through to the last signing off, we left the work up to them and they delivered. Well done team – my heartfelt thanks for the splendid job in selling our Cityzone apartments.
Professional, gave us all the options but did not push in any area. Great communication incl with his assistant.
Exceptional service and communication

He has faithfully contacted us over several YEARS and always provided information when we asked for it.
Extraordinary result, professionally delivered.
Confident experienced operator
The service was professional and exceeded my expectations over all aspects of the auctions.
We have had the privilege of listing our two inner city apartments with Damian Piggin and Daniel Horrobin of Ray White Real Estate. Together they worked tirelessly on our behalf to achieve an outstanding sales result for both properties at auction. Both Damian and Daniel listened to the needs of our personal situation and went out of their way to customise the process for us. Their communication was fantastic and we were kept fully informed every step of the way. We have no hesitation in recommending these two outstanding and professional gentlemen as agents to list and sell your property.
As an offshore seller of my Auckland Apartment, I needed to make sure that I had an honest agent who specialised in the apartment market to ensure I achieved the best price. After speaking with Daniel, I found him to be professional and very knowledgeable of not only my apartment and building, but the apartment market in general. Having previously had my apartment listed with another agent who was unsuccessful in achieving a sale for me, I then engaged Daniel as my agent. He was very proactive in liaising with my property manager to gain access to the apartment and show qualified buyers through, which resulted in not only a successful sale at a level I was very happy with, the offer was nearly 20% higher than my previous agent could achieve. With Daniels professional advice and assistance, I am pleased to say that my sale went through very smoothly. Having dealt with a number of agents in the past, I would highly recommend Daniel to anyone who is considering selling their Auckland City Apartment.
