The Livingstone name has been synonymous with property sales and development in New Zealand since 1919. For some 68 years the firm remained in the ownership of the family of the founder, H G Livingstone and during that time it built up an enviable reputation in maintaining the highest standards of reliability, integrity and professionalism. Following sale of the business by the family, the firm continued to prosper and grow as it took and created opportunities to serve the ever-increasing needs of clients in all forms of real estate and property transactions. The company has always been keen to stay at the leading edge in this profession and an example of this was lead involvement in the development and management of major retail malls in the main centres throughout New Zealand. In recent years the company business and ownership has been transformed into separate business entities that meet more effectively the demands of a dynamic and increasingly specialised property market. Having been Director of Sales for H G Livingstone Limited for many years until 2003, David Rankin identified the potential to further separately develop the residential and tourism activities of the business. Today as Livingstone First National Limited, David and his team continue the traditions of competence, independence, integrity and reliability pioneered by the Livingstone family.
