eXp New Zealand Ltd

I’m proud to have been recognised as RateMyAgent’s Top Agent for Northland three years running, and to be ranked among New Zealand’s Top 100 Agents nationwide; acknowledgements that reflect the passion, commitment, and genuine care I bring to every client relationship. With over 12 years of experience in real estate, including time spent in Australia where I was honoured as a Number One Agent for two consecutive years, I’ve built a career grounded in hard work, integrity, and results that speak for themselves. Born and bred in Northland, I’ve always been passionate about helping people achieve their property dreams right here at home. In 2021, I took a leap of faith and opened my own branded real estate office, a lifelong dream realised. Being based in the heart of Whangarei allows me to connect easily with both buyers and sellers while staying close to the community I love. Outside of real estate, life is fast-paced and full. I’m a proud mum of five, and my husband Mark and I share a deep commitment to family and community. One cause close to my heart is Kind Hands, a local respite centre for children with disabilities and medical needs. I donate a percentage of my commission from every sale to support their incredible work, giving “beautiful babies and children” a home away from home. I’m known for my integrity, strong negotiation skills, and open, transparent communication style.My clients can count on drive, dedication, and attention to detail from start to finish. Building genuine, long-lasting relationships is at the heart of what I do, and when you list with me, you can be confident that I’ll work tirelessly to deliver the very best result possible, every single time.

“One of your biggest and most valuable assets is undoubtedly your home, so you will want to be entirely confident in your choice of real estate agent. At the onset of my Real Estate career in 1995, I achieved the ‘Real Estate Institute of NZ’ Sales Award for the Northland Region. I have experienced the ‘highs and lows’ of different markets and thus learned to adapt marketing strategies accordingly. Looking after my vendors and providing outstanding service is an absolute priority for me. Past clients say they come back to me time and again because they know I genuinely care, I communicate throughout the process and achieve fantastic results. Importantly, I choose to manage just a handful of properties at one time so I am able to give my vendors and their properties, 100% of my focus. You can depend on me to give you the best advice regarding the presentation and marketing of your property; help stage your home if we feel it necessary; generate multiple buyer competition and negotiate the very best price in the shortest time frame. I am adept at liaising with lawyers, local Council, Valuers, Banks and Building Inspectors, to name a few, in order to facilitate a successful sale. In addition, I desire that you have a smooth, stress-free and enjoyable experience from beginning to end. With regards to joining the team at Independent Agent, I love the fact that a percentage of every commission goes to supporting 'Habitat for Humanity NZ.' It is such a worthy cause and knowing that others are benefitting makes my job even more satisfying. If you are looking for an expert, no-nonsense knowledgeable professional to market and sell your home, I welcome your call.”
