About Nicole

Early on in my career, it was clear that customer-centric roles were for me. I absolutely love being around people and helping them achieve their goals. Prior to real estate, I had a long and successful career with one of New Zealand’s leading life insurers, working in various departments but always with a focus on people. Growing up on Auckland’s North Shore, I have been very fortunate to get to know the area intimately but admittedly have a soft spot for the beautiful Bays. The lifestyle that the area offers with the beaches, family-friendly communities, amazing schools and cafes is sought after by many. Having bought and sold property myself, I understand the process can be stressful - but it doesn’t need to be! I will be there with you every step of the way with support and guidance; keeping you informed and alleviating some of the pressures. I am extremely driven and dedicated to achieving the best possible results for you. If you are thinking about selling or buying I would be honoured to help. Give me a call – we’ll have a meaningful discussion about your real estate needs.

Honest advice, and worked hard to maintain communication with potential buyers.

We would like to sincerely thank Winnie Han for her professionalism, dedication, and persistence throughout the sale of our property at 6 Tenbless Court. The selling process was not always straightforward. From marketing, open homes, auction day, post-auction negotiations, Winnie remained calm, proactive, and supportive every step of the way. She kept us informed, provided honest advice, and worked hard to maintain communication with potential buyers. We appreciated her patience during the negotiation process. Winnie never gave up after the auction and continued to follow up with interested parties, eventually helping us secure a successful sale. Her experience, commitment, and positive attitude gave us confidence throughout what can often be a stressful process. We would highly recommend Winnie to anyone looking to sell their property. Thank you again for all your hard work and dedication.

King of Milldale - Bob Qin

We had a wonderful experience working with Bob and Hugo throughout our home buying journey. From the very beginning, they were professional, patient, honest, and genuinely committed to helping us find the right property. Bob, as the owner of the team, brought a great sense of trust, experience, and calm guidance throughout the process. Hugo was equally fantastic, approachable, responsive, and always willing to answer our questions and support us at every step. Buying a home can feel overwhelming, but Bob and Hugo made the journey smooth, clear, and exciting for us. They listened to what we were looking for, understood our needs, and helped us feel confident in our decision. We are truly grateful for their support, guidance, and kindness. Thank you, Bob and Hugo, for helping us find a home we are so excited about. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, professional, and genuinely caring real estate agents.
