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”

Ellie-Jane made the whole process of selling our house very easy with her professional, proactive approach. She had a good knowledge of the Taupo market and came up with a good marketing plan utilising traditional and online methods. Being very experienced, she knows what works to sell a house and there was good communication throughout the process. We had offers to buy within a couple of weeks and we sold at a price that we are very happy with, achieved in a flat housing market due to the current tough economic climate. Would highly recommend.

An amazing agent with your best interests at heart.

We couldn't have asked for a better experience buying our first home! From the very first viewing, Tej was incredibly welcoming and patient with all our questions. He stayed right by our side through the entire process, keeping us fully informed every step of the way. What we appreciated most was that he never felt like a typical salesperson; he’d joke with us and take a genuine interest in our lives and weekend plans. It honestly felt like working with an old friend who truly had our best interests at heart. Thanks, Tej
