Introducing Vaughan Smith, Our New Rotorua Oncore Branch Owner

We’re pleased to welcome Vaughan Smith to Oncore as Branch Owner for Rotorua and the Eastern Bay of Plenty, where he leads Oncore’s property repairs, maintenance and end-of-lease services.

Vaughan joins Oncore with a clear focus on simplifying property maintenance in Rotorua by removing the complexity, delays and coordination challenges that often arise when multiple contractors are involved. His role is centred on delivering structured, accountable property resets that ensure properties are cleaned, repaired, documented and handed over on time.

At Oncore Rotorua, Vaughan manages each project from initial inspection through to completion. He personally inspects every property, defines the scope of work and coordinates all required maintenance and repair services under one accountable point of contact. 

What attracted Vaughan to Oncore is its purpose-built model for maintenance and repair services in Rotorua. Traditional property maintenance often requires homeowners or property managers to juggle cleaners, repairers, landscapers and handymen separately. Oncore replaces this fragmented approach with a single, structured process supported by quoted pricing, clear documentation and professional project management.

Vaughan also understands the pressures faced by Rotorua Property Managers operating under tight timelines, owner expectations and compliance requirements. His service is designed to provide certainty, from free inspections and clearly defined scopes of work to before-and-after documentation that supports record keeping and dispute prevention. The goal is to deliver reliable rental property maintenance in Rotorua that reduces rework, speeds up turnaround times and ensures properties are tenant-ready sooner.

With formal study in Property Valuation and Management from Massey University and more than 15 years of hands-on experience in property maintenance and project management, Vaughan brings both strategic insight and practical expertise to the role. His background includes lawn care, hedging, landscaping, pressure cleaning, concrete sealing and coatings, artificial turf installation and general repairs, giving him a strong understanding of how properties perform and age over time.

Vaughan has worked with residential property owners, Property Managers, Body Corporates and facilities teams across New Zealand and Australia. He is known for his attention to detail, clear communication and commitment to protecting the long-term condition and value of properties. His approach reflects an owner’s mindset, ensuring every property is cared for as if it were his own.

As Oncore continues to raise the standard of residential property maintenance in Rotorua, Vaughan’s leadership strengthens our ability to deliver efficient, well-documented and professionally managed outcomes throughout the region.

If you manage or own property in Rotorua or the Eastern Bay of Plenty and are looking for a smarter, more accountable way to manage property maintenance and end-of-lease services, Vaughan would welcome the opportunity to work with you. The next step is a brief on-site inspection, followed by a free inspection report, pricing and a clear delivery schedule.
