About Jean
Jean moved to Whanganui from Waiheke Island where she had a successful career selling real estate after starting out in property management on the island. Having an impressive sales pedigree gained from 10 years at Scholastic Publishing in Auckland and then another 10 years working for TCC Global (a brand loyalty company) in NZ, Australia and then Shanghai. Jean has always loved interacting with people and this combined with her solid background in sales, an avid interest in interior design and a true passion for property made real estate the perfect option for a career. Her passion is creating bespoke marketing packages that have a significant “reach” of putting Whanganui properties in front of purchasers locally, nationally and even overseas. The Bayleys tag line of ‘Altogether Better’ is important. Bayleys has an impressive network of over 1,000 salespeople who each have databases of buyers which can be matched to properties in Whanganui. Jean’s success is based almost exclusively on referrals. She earns the respect of clients by working hard to get them the most positive results she can. Jean lives on five acres just out of Whanganui with her partner, two dogs, a cat, chickens and her horse. “Often I feel like I have to pinch myself as the lifestyle I have here is so special, and the people are so friendly”. To give back to the community Jean recently put together a very successful Pyjama Drive for Women’s Refuge and also donates to Jigsaw and Riding for the Disabled.

About Kim
Hello! I’m Kim and I love selling Whanganui! Born and bred in this beautiful town, and very proud of it! After spending about a decade living and working in Wellington, I came back to Whanganui in 1997 to get my degree in computer graphic design. Graduated and went straight to work at the Whanganui Chronicle as a designer, then a couple of years later, I moved next door to the Professionals as Director of Marketing and Design for the next seven years. It was there that I discovered a real passion for real estate. By 2011, I gained my license and have been listing and selling my hometown ever since. I believe that I have the best job ever (except for the chief chocolate tasters job… that also would be pretty darn good)! I love meeting new people, helping them find their new homes, and getting to go through some of the extraordinary properties we have here in Whanganui. Happily married for 10 years to John, between us we have five children and eight grandkids, two cats and a confused dog who thinks he’s also a cat.

Professional, honest and experienced

We recently purchased our first home through Crystal and couldn't be happier with the experience. From our first viewing right through to the purchase process, Crystal was fantastic to deal with. Her communication was excellent, always keeping us updated, responding promptly to questions and making our requests a priority. She was professional, patient and transparent throughout, ensuring we had all the information we needed to make informed decisions. What really stood out was her ability to make us feel that our best interests as buyers were genuinely important to her, while still representing the vendor with honesty and integrity. Crystal made what could have been a stressful process feel straightforward and enjoyable. We'd happily recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home.

Personal yet very Professional

Finding a reliable and trustworthy agent can be a daunting task when selling a house. Many agents appraise a property too high and also leave out the fine print when negotiating the contract, leaving sellers in the dark when it comes to final costs. Not so with Crystal. From the very start, Crystal was transparent and honest about every aspect of the listing. She accurately appraised my house to achieve an acceptable sales price in as short a time as possible. I was not inundated weekly with pointless graphs of sales performances and excuses as to why the property was not selling, but rather a factual update after each open home. Her personal approach working with a buyer quickly confirmed a sale after three weeks on the market! While Crystal has a very down-to-earth approach, she is extremely professional to deal with, and her knowledge of Whanganui is a real asset. I would have no hesitation in recommending Crystal if selling your house is a priority.
