I have been a very high achiever in the real estate market and was reliably known for selling a large volume of homes in Tauranga every year.
I attribute my success to a strong work ethic and a driving motivation to be successful and get good results. To me, my success means producing a good outcome for my vendors and understanding intuitively the needs and wants of a buyer.
I am quick to respond to people and the market.
I’m constantly in touch with my vendors and they are always informed about what is happening with their property.
I work hard to build trust and keep the relationship strongly connected.
“People want to know what’s going on. And they want a fair deal . . . fair price (the commission) for a fair deal.
I don’t sugar coat, I just deliver,”
I’ve had clients say they like me because I actually listen to what they say and I‘m intuitively understanding what their needs are. A customer once told me “The process was easy - almost too easy.” I told him “It should be easy, there’s no reason it has to be stressful.”
My History
Born in Thames, I have always had a passion for real estate. I felt the urge very early, buying my first house at seventeen years of age, and that enthusiasm has continued all my life. So I make the comment “Real Estate is definitely part of my DNA”.
Let me share my knowledge with you, you’ll find an experienced agent with a finger on the pulse in this current market. You’ll will quickly discover I’m honest and trustworthy to look after all your real estate.
I look forward to hearing from you.
