About Lesley

Proud to call Taupo my home, I have enjoyed 24 years within the real estate industry throughout New Zealand. I started in real estate as a young mum with three children. Trying to find a job that I loved as well as spending time with my family, was difficult, however, this career path has been a perfect fit. Through the years I have had the pleasure of meeting many various cultures and wonderful people. Working with my clients and helping them through what can be a very stressful time is important to me. I recognise property as being the biggest investment you will make, so it is crucial to give you the best possible options available on how I can market your property and also ensure that your purchase of a new property will be a stress-free experience. I have achieved many accolades with Harcourts Taupo. Being recognised in 2020 & 2021 within the Top 3 for “Listing Auctions”, “Sales Achieved” and “Vendor Paid Marketing”, these were very proud moments. I believe listening and strong communication skills are the key to a great salesperson. It is also wonderful to give back to the community by helping with a number of Charity organisations. I have been involved with Taupo Hospice as a Trustee and Chair of the Fund-raising committee, school sporting activities and have also run the Harcourts Food Bank for many years. It is wonderful to get involved with the St. Andrews Garden and Art Trail, as I have a passion for gardens and art. Working with a large client network based locally, my in-depth knowledge and experience with the property market makes me an invaluable asset to my clients. Look out for me “Keeping it real with Lesley McNeil”

Professional, Knowledgeable, and Dedicated

We recently sold our home and had a great experience working with Brooke. From the initial appraisal through to the successful sale, she was professional, proactive, and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. Brooke's communication was excellent, and she kept us informed at every stage, providing honest advice and clear guidance whenever important decisions needed to be made. Selling a home can be stressful, especially as we were away during much of the process, but Brooke made everything straightforward and ensured we were kept well informed every step of the way. Her genuine care, dedication, and hard work gave us confidence throughout the sale. We are incredibly grateful for all of Brooke's efforts and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.
