About Rhonda
Rural, Lifestyle and Residential property guru, Rhonda Stewart is a born and bred Marlburian and has been part of the Harcourts Marlborough family for 18 years. Rhonda burst onto the Marlborough real estate scene in 2007, when moving back home from the West Coast after a 25 year career in Pediatric Nursing. Rhonda now calls Renwick home after moving back to the Marlborough region (with a thirst for settled sunny weather!). Rhonda is married to husband Geoff, has two daughters and two beautiful grandchildren. "People are my passion. I feel as much at home with my ā€œreal estate hat onā€ as I do helping with community driven fundraisers, on the sideline of the local rugby matches and mucking in to help at equestrian shows!" Over the years, Rhonda has been involved with the Marlborough A&P association and various local pony clubs, both her and her daughters were competitive horse riders. She is a keen Mako's fan as well as being a Life Sponsor at her local Renwick Rugby Club. "Having a husband with a farming, trucking and building background combined with my immediate family’s involvement in horticulture, agriculture, viticulture and aquaculture has broadened my knowledge of all aspects of the rural property market in the region and my expertise in the residential market is reflected by my consistent annual results." Rhonda loves the family environment at Harcourts Marlborough and puts her success down to the fantastic support from her team of five, which is vital in the Real Estate industry. Her endeavors recognized in 2020 as a 'Harcourts Marlborough Legend'. "The positive energy that comes from helping clients bring their plans to fruition keeps me excited! And my diverse property portfolios offer something for everyone. We tackle challenges and think outside the square to find the perfect match for you and your next property. Delivering facts in a no-nonsense manner are my trade-marks." She believes passion and honesty are key to a good agent and her tip for anyone looking to buy in Marlborough is to have all your ducks in a row to avoid missing out on your dream property. Intuitive, enthusiastic and thoroughly approachable, Rhonda’s can-do attitude to think outside the box makes her a top agent in Marlborough. ā€œYou can be sure, I tell it like it isā€.

We can't speak highly enough of Rhonda Stewart! From the very beginning, Rhonda was absolutely amazing to deal with. Her warmth and genuine care made us feel comfortable and supported throughout the entire process. She went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly, always keeping us informed and taking the time to help and answer any questions we had. Thanks to her hard work and dedication, we found ourselves in a multi-offer situation within just 24 hours, which was an incredible result! We feel incredibly lucky to have had her as part of our journey, it is clear she genuinely cares about the people she works with, and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell in Marlborough! Thank you Rhonda, for being such a pleasure to deal with, and for helping turn our dreams into reality :)

Honest, professional and kind - an agent you can trust.

Honest, professional and kind - an agent you can trust.

After our first weekend of open homes, Michelle immediately stood out to us among the agents we interacted with. She was helpful but not pushy and took the time to understand our situation and needs. Throughout the (lengthy) process of making a successful purchase Michelle's communication was clear and proactive. She and her colleagues guided us through making an offer for the first time and when that wasn't successful, she remained committed to helping us find the right home. She regularly arranged for us to view new properties to market, including ones represented by other agents/agencies, that she thought would suit us. Above all Michelle operates with the utmost professionalism, integrity, warmth, and heart. She repeatedly went out of her way for us and took the time to get to know our family. That combined with her honesty gave us the confidence that she cared about us rather than just making a sale. We are very grateful for Michelle and cannot recommend her highly enough!
