I work in partnership with Eugene Yamamoto. Together we are The Local Team, offering a high level of focus on client and customer satisfaction. Our mission: to provide an unparalleled quality of service. Having lived, worked and invested in Ellerslie and Mount Wellington for well over a decade, we both have comprehensive ‘Locals’ knowledge of the area. We also have a clear understanding of the critical nature of time with all real estate transactions, and the importance of closing a deal for our clients – this is something we aim to achieve with as little stress as possible producing exceptional sales outcomes within the required time-frames. Get an accurate, honest and professional opinion. Get the best price, not just a sold sticker. Get The Local Team About Joanne Born and raised in Auckland, I know what this great city and the surrounding areas have to offer. Buying my first home with my husband at 21 years of age, I quickly learned the importance of home-ownership and the financial gains that can be made. Selling and buying a property can be a life-changing event. I am now living in my third home, moving up the property ladder each time, and I have also invested in rental properties. From experience I understand and relate to sellers and buyer’s needs, no matter what stage they are at. I have a knack for building strong, long-lasting relationships and thoroughly enjoy helping my clients find the right fit. If you are ready to move on to your next change of life event, I can help you with all your real estate needs.
