Starting my real estate career in Havelock North in 2001, family took me to Nebraska to sell real estate in 2005. Becoming top listing agent and receiving the coveted outstanding agent award in 2007 were a highlight prior to the collapse of the real estate market in 2008. A move to Seattle in 2012 saw me selling luxury boats before once again coming into real estate. Home and Havelock North beckoned. The kids had grown and it was time to return. Sotheby's are now the premier agency in town and I list and sell homes in Hawkes Bay for New Zealand Sotheby's International Realty, all the while calling on 12 years of real estate experience over different regions and through different markets. My greatest thrill is helping my clients achieve the results they desire.
