Natalie Gombert - The Matchmaker in real estate!
Energetic, approachable, and results-driven — I’m here to make your real estate journey seamless, strategic, and ultimately successful.
Since making New Zealand home in 2009, I’ve built a reputation for being a sharp negotiator, a skilled communicator, and someone who delivers consistent results. Sellers appreciate my ability to create genuine urgency and strong buyer competition, which often translates into reduced days on market and premium outcomes. My attention to detail and fresh marketing approach ensures your home stands out from the crowd — not just online, but in the minds of buyers.
With a background in hospitality and five successful years in real estate, I understand the importance of service, timing, and follow-through. These skills now underpin my approach to real estate: hands-on, honest, and completely committed to you.
I pride myself on building long-lasting relationships, and my community spirit is a huge part of who I am. Whether it’s volunteering at local rest homes or organising events, I love giving back to the town I live, love, and work in. Raised by my grandmother, I bring a natural empathy and care to everything I do — especially when supporting our senior members in transitioning to the next chapter of their lives.
When I’m not negotiating contracts or setting up standout marketing campaigns, I’m likely enjoying time with my family, fishing, or simply soaking up nature.
Real estate is more than just a transaction — it’s a life-changing decision. My promise to you is to keep it personal, powerful, and professional.
With transparency, innovative strategies, and proven results, I’ll be with you every step of the way.
Let’s get your property sold — the right way!
I am known for infusing a sense of fun into every facet of my life, including my work in real estate. My genuine delight in making people smile, discovering their priorities, and turning their real estate dreams into reality sets me apart.
With six years of experience in the real estate industry, I exude confidence in my ability to orchestrate effective marketing campaigns and adeptly guide both sellers and buyers through the intricacies of property transactions. My commitment to providing exceptional customer service is unwavering, ensuring a smooth journey from initial consultation to settlement.
My unrelenting drive for success is evident in my unwavering dedication to giving my all in every endeavor.
Beyond my professional pursuits, I take on the role of a devoted mother of two.

Sharlene Druyven – Barfoot & Thompson Waiuku
Being passionate about people and property, I’ve found my true calling in real estate. Over the past 12 months, I’ve been proud to achieve remarkable success, recently being awarded Rising Star across the entire Barfoot & Thompson network nationwide – an honour that reflects both dedication and results.
My clients often tell me they appreciate my genuine approach, open communication, and unwavering commitment to achieving the best outcomes. Their fantastic feedback and ongoing support are what drive me every day.
As a fifth-generation local with deep roots in the community, my extensive knowledge of the Franklin area – combined with a strong, active database – has been a key contributor to my success. Whether helping buyers find their dream home or supporting sellers through a major life transition, I’m proud to bring energy, expertise, and care to every step of the journey.
My career in real estate began with the highest performing sales team at Barfoot & Thompson Pukekohe. I learned from some of the best in the business and gained experience managing the list and sale process for hundreds of clients.
I enjoyed an exciting 10-year career with the New Zealand Police prior to real estate, where I reached the appointment of Detective Constable. Policing advanced my abilities in leadership, communications and problem-solving, all valuable skills, transferrable to the real estate industry.
Since 2014, I have been part of the growing community of Pokeno. The appeal for my family to move here from Auckland was housing affordability. It gave us the opportunity to get on the property ladder and to enjoy a more relaxed lifestyle. Our daughter attended the local school and has absolutely thrived in Pokeno’s close-knit, family-oriented community. Experiencing the continued growth in housing and local business development first-hand is incredibly exciting – we love being part of this community,
I am passionate about real estate and helping others to succeed in their property ventures. If you are thinking about buying, selling or investing in Pokeno or the surrounding area, I would be thrilled to help you explore your property options with a healthy dose of local knowledge.

Natalie was willing to show us many properties until we found the right one for us!
What stood out most to me about Natalie was her honesty and her willingness to go above and beyond. She was happy to answer any questions we had and to work in with other agents as necessary. She arranged private viewings to suit us due to our work commitments. After looking at a large variety of houses we found one that ticked most of our boxes and we are very happy! Natalie kept us informed throughout multiple negotiations and supported us right through our house search. I would highly recommend Natalie.

Amazing First Home Buying Experiance
We were told that our landlord wanted to sell their home on the North Shore, and we were given three months to move out. That left us with a hard decision: pack up our lives again and move into another rental, or take the leap and buy our first home. We chose the latter, and started looking at properties in Waiuku, close to family. The tricky part was that house viewings are rarely run by the same agent, so seeing different options usually meant multiple trips out from the Shore and with our timeline, that just wasn't realistic. Luckily, the first agent we got hold of was Natalie, and she was incredible from the start. She reached out to the other vendors, coordinated with their agents, and managed to line up six viewings in a single day for us. That gave us plenty to choose from, and we found the one. From the moment we pulled into the driveway and walked through the door, we knew, even though we'd felt that same spark at two other places earlier that day. We were worried buying would take months, even with our pre-approval already sorted. But Natalie worked so closely with us, the other agent, and both lawyers that we went from viewing to settlement in about a month. She was a huge part of making that happen. She was always easy to reach, always made time for our questions, no matter how small, and even now well after settlement ,she still checks in and helps point us in the right direction in a town we're still getting to know. To Natalie: thank you, from our whole family, for making this journey so peaceful and so easy.
