About Lesley
Originally from Wellington, I spent over twenty-five years holidaying in beautiful Taupo before making it my permanent home eighteen years ago. Between my time in Wellington and settling in Taupo, my husband and I were fortunate to live abroad in diverse and vibrant cities including London, Dubai, and Istanbul—experiences that enriched both our personal and professional lives. My journey into real estate began as a young mother of three, seeking a career that allowed me to balance meaningful work with family life. More than twenty-seven years later, I continue to find immense satisfaction in helping clients buy and sell homes. Supporting people through what can be a highly emotional and stressful time is something I take seriously, and I pride myself on providing both expertise and empathy throughout the process. Beyond real estate, I’ve always had a passion for working with people. My career has also included leadership roles in charitable organisations, both in New Zealand and the UK, where I’ve contributed to causes close to my heart.

Caleb seals the deal

Caleb was great to work with. When our first buyers pulled out he kept us engaged and produced another offer within a week. While it took another week to seal the deal, the price lift from the initial offer was sufficient for us to accept. Caleb secured a sale of our home within 5 weeks of listing which enabled us to move to the next stage in our journey.

Lesley, it was a pleasure to deal with you!

Lesley we had a great experience with you, from first meeting through until the completion of the sale. You were accommodating, communicated thoughtfully, were very responsive to our messages, passed on useful information, and kept us updated as we navigated the purchase process. We felt lucky and grateful you were the agent involved in the purchase process and your attention to the process is probably what got the property purchase over the line for us. Congratulations on your sale šŸ™ŒšŸ½

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.
