As a Kiwi returning home, Whangarei was without a doubt our first-choice destination. We definitely do “Love it here!”. I grew up in Northland but have spent 28 years living outside of NZ, including 12 years on the small Greek Island of Agistri (The Hook) where our children did nearly all their schooling. My work and life experience have varied widely, from a start in youth work and community projects to owning a restaurant in Sydney, to tourism, and property management. To have entered the real estate field was a dream come true for me; years later, this is still true. I am very people orientated, and it is people that transform a house into a home. To be a licensed real estate salesperson is like being a matchmaker, our mission is to match properties with the people to love them. A perfect match means considering all factors and realities; needs, hopes, dreams, schools, lifestyle choices, work, and aiming for the best possible solution — a place to call home! Now with almost 10 years of industry experience, give me a call if you want down-to-earth service while you reach for the stars and an active listener and negotiator who can offer common sense solutions. I look forward to hearing from you soon!
