About Liz
Success is the Result of Hard Work Figure skating is one of the most difficult disciplines to master on the ice. It requires years of practice, discipline and passion to succeed and, as an ex New Zealand Ice Figure Skating representative, Liz knows just how challenging this can be. Now her focus is real estate and this effervescent university graduate will bring those same qualities that made her an Ice Figure Skating champion, and make her a success in her chosen career. Liz knows all too well that success is not about her, but about hard work, meaningful communication and forming positive relationships with her clients to achieve the property outcomes they want. Her experience in sales and marketing in the construction industry has given her a solid understanding of the value of research and the minefields of property legislation that are ever more complex and important, so she can deliver top quality results to her clients. Passion, loyalty to her clients and doing ‘the right thing’ are a few of the attributes that Liz embodies. She knows only too well that success is the by-product of hard work, and those that have met her will know how energised she is. Choosing to work with Liz is a smart move – she has the commitment to achieve, the understanding to deliver great results and the desire to listen to her clients. She understands that behind every property transaction is a very important set of decisions which must be respected and supported. Deciding to engage with Liz about a sale or purchase of a home is a great call and she would love to talk to you today.

Found us our perfect home

Found us our perfect home

We used Jono as our buyers agent after him being recommended by our mortgage broker. Up until then I had been wading through trade me, contacting and being contacted by agents, and trying to navigate the process. He was with us all the way being our one point of contact. The house we ended up purchasing I had written off and wasn’t going to view. Because he had taken the time to understand what we wanted, he knew it could be the one. He was able to meet our builders and valuer on site, he negotiated hard for us when it came down to being the auction forward, and we walked away unconditional all because Jono was able to be in our corner. I would recommend using a buyers agent to anyone, especially if you both have busy jobs. And in particular I would recommend Jono.

Made Our First Home Purchase Easy and Stress-Free

Made Our First Home Purchase Easy and Stress-Free

Before meeting Jo, our experience searching for our first home came with many ups and downs. We worked with several real estate agents and, at times, felt overwhelmed by the process and unsure about what to expect as first-home buyers. From the moment we started working with Jo, everything changed. She made the entire experience feel manageable, supportive, and exciting. Her communication was exceptional throughout the entire process. She was flexible around when we could be contacted and always respected our boundaries, especially when we shared that we could not be reached after 8:00 pm due to early morning starts. We truly appreciated how she listened and worked around our needs. As first-home buyers, there were many documents and processes we did not understand. Jo explained everything clearly and took the time to ensure we understood what documents meant so we felt informed and confident in every decision. Jo was approachable, professional, and always prompt in responding to our questions. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble. She was incredibly accommodating when we wanted to revisit the home and even offered access before settlement so we could take measurements and prepare for moving in. Her advice and guidance during our due diligence period were invaluable and worked perfectly for us. Most importantly, Jo gained our trust through her professionalism, patience, and genuine care. We are incredibly grateful for her support in helping us purchase our first home and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and supportive real estate agent.

Great support

Jo is an excellent agent who made my home-buying process much easier. From the moment I submitted my first offer through to settlement, she communicated clearly and provided support at every step of the process. If I decide to buy another property in the future, Jo will be the first person I contact.
