About Nicky
Home isn't just where life happens. It's where futures are built, memories are made and some of life's biggest decisions begin. My family has grown up here in our community. My children attended local schools, my husband has joined me in real estate, my son is building his career alongside me, and my daughter, who has special needs, is well known around our office and community as one of our biggest supporters. This isn't just where I work. It's home. That sense of community is at the heart of everything I do because I believe the greatest impact we can have is helping people create a better future. Buying or selling a home can be exciting, overwhelming and, at times, uncertain. My role is to bring clarity, honest advice and genuine support so my clients can move forward with confidence. One of the greatest compliments I receive is when clients tell me they felt supported, informed and confident throughout the entire journey. Whether I'm helping a family take the next step, guiding an investor through an important decision, mentoring my team or supporting a local community initiative, my goal is always the same: to leave people in a better position than they were before we met. That philosophy shapes the way I lead both my business and our office. I believe lasting relationships are built through trust, clear communication and doing what's right. As Director of Harcourts The Difference, my vision has always been to build a business where people come first. One known for trusted advice, outstanding service and genuine care for our community. I believe knowledge gives people the confidence to make better property decisions. That's why I'm passionate about sharing practical advice, local market insights and educational resources that help buyers, sellers and investors navigate the property journey with confidence. Because for me, real estate has never just been about property. It's about people. It's about relationships. It's about helping people create better futures.

About Robin
Robin has worked with the Harcourts Helensville team since 2006. He has lived in the area for many years and is passionate about the benefits and pleasures of living in South Head, and therefore overcomes resistance to the location by selling the lifestyle and the community that all the local residents enjoy. Robin hopes he can bring this success to assist you to buy or sell your home. He also runs his own farm block, previously running deer and more recently running cattle, so he has much knowledge in this aspect also. Robin has been very successful selling in South Head and has achieved very good sales in this area.

Nicky is an agent who is truthful and can be trusted to ensure my needs were met.

Nicky is an agent who is truthful and can be trusted to ensure my needs were met.

Nicky sold my house/lifestyle block in Kaukapakapa very quickly. She listened to my experience of living in the property and marketed it accordingly. Resulting in attracting the right kind of buyer and I was happy with the deal. Nicky communicated well so I always knew what was happening which made the experience very positive. So I asked Nicky to help me find another property in Helensville. First of all she drove me around Helensville to establish exactly what sort of property I was looking for. That drive around was an eye opener for me. I learned so much from Nicky regarding specific locations. Positive and negative details that required local knowledge. When I went to the first open home of the house I ended up buying Nicky was the agent. She obviously was trying to get the best deal for the vendor. Not withstanding that she also helped me with booking building reports and negotiations with the seller which resulted in everyone being happy with the deal. After sale service great as well. Nicky and her team have been really helpful even finding a home for my piano! Also giving me contacts for local tradesmen they can recommend which is much appreciated.

Brandon - The Rising Star. The quiet unrushed personality is the essence of Brandon.

Polite sincere mannerisms of Brandon stand out in the loud REAL ESTATE sector. These qualities draw your attention to the depth of professionalism, and art of the deal. Such communication styles are demonstrative of the keen listner who absorbs the genuine requirements of the client. He also takes a keen interest to make the client comfortable by aiding with quick responses any time of day. Wish Brandon all the best in his realestate future. He is sure to make his stamp as one great agent in New Zealand.

Nicky cobines an impecable knowledge of property market with a deep sense of clients wishes, needs.

Professionalism is a hallmark of Nicky and Brandon. Yet to meet such a dedicated real estate agent who surpass client expectations. With market insights, capacity to advise and negotiate on behalf of the client whether it is selling or buying a property, Nicky spares no shortcuts. She is available throughout the day to guide the client through all areas of the process. Furthermore, her acute sense of the highs and lows of any property, its future potential and any other simple details does not miss her professional eye. In simple words she is a great asset to New Zealanders' any thing property. We wish her continued success for a brand built around trust and service in her endeavor as a Rest Estate Agent that embrace true human values.

Highly recommend

We chose Nicky because of her and Harcourts Helensville’s incredible support within our community over many years. Her professionalism, determination and loyalty have been greatly appreciated to guide us through a process we were unfamiliar with. She genuinely cares for her clients on both sides of the transaction and works hard to get a result for all involved. We would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to enter the real estate property market either to buy or sell. Phillip & Gaylene Ashton

An Absolute Pleasure working with Nicky as made the whole process stress free

Nicky was the first choice for the selling agent due to her local knowledge and being in the Harcourts group ,also my preferred RealEstate company.A win win all round.It is unusual to find an agent that not only works in the interests of the seller but also the buyers feel at ease with as well.No high pressure selling here could be the reason.She managed to get a higher price after the first deal fell through as well as the buyers happy with a fair purchase price.She took a calm approach in the sale process and I feel achieved the best possible price in this difficult market.I have no hesitation in recommending her
