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.”

Stephanie is incredibly professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in the best outcome.
This was my first independent home purchasing experience and to say I was both nervous and clueless is an understatement! Stephanie made everything feel straightforward and stress-free from day one. Her communication was excellent, taking the time to explain every step clearly, and I always felt supported and informed throughout the process. I never felt pressured, and with her guidance I found the right home. I am incredibly grateful for Stephanie’s professionalism, patience, and genuine care, and highly recommend her to all future buyers and sellers without hesitation.

Review for Linda
Linda was the Vendor Agent and we were the purchasers, however Linda was helpful to us at all times, assisting us to achieve a successful purchase and checked in to ensure we had everything we needed to get the sale across the line.

Handled remote sale extremely well.
We had to sell our fathers home when he passed, and both of us live a significant distance from our home town, and in different time zones. Stephanie was extremely adaptable to working with us in a challenging situation, and always left us feeling confident that things were under control. Great communication through out the process, 100% recommend.

I was absolutely blown away with Kate’s professionalism and advice
I found Kate very easy to talk to right from when I met her. Definitely knew the market and has been very successful in selling properties in the Snells Beach for a number of years. She explained all options of selling my house, and the one we chose was the best for the current market.
