I am excited to make the move to the best real estate brand in the world! And I arrive having been extremely successful for another renowned brand where I had worked for over 20 years. I have consistently been in the top tier of performing agents within Wellington, with my excellent results making me one of Wellington’s top 5% of salespeople. Testimony to this is the repeat business I receive. My clients are just fabulous and most of them are referrals or repeat business, some of which are now selling or buying through me for the 2nd, 3rd or 4th time! My father used to say to me, your worst and best strength is your tenacity, seems he was right! With me selling your home, you will get tenacity, honesty, and my endeavour to achieve the best results for you through the best service, and marketing adventure you choose. A little about me; my life began on a large Southland farm. My career started in nursing, where I trained at Southland Hospital, then later moved to Wellington. It was my career of 12 years, which I loved. I was then offered a position at Kempthorne Medical Supplies to sell pharmaceuticals into doctors and pharmacies, which is where my selling bug began! A few years later I moved to Queenstown and was initially employed to sell out Queenstown’s First-Time share units. After which, with no nursing jobs available, I opened the first beauty therapy Salon south of Christchurch, which I grew into a profitable business. I later returned to Wellington 29 years ago, which is where my real estate career truly began. It is an extremely demanding job, but I have loved every minute of it! It can change with a phone call… so each day is never the same.
