With eight years of experience and over $100 million in real estate sales, she brings passion, expertise, and meticulous attention to detail to every client and customer she works with. Tanya’s top priority is always her clients. She takes the time to listen, understand their needs, and tailor her approach to ensure the best possible outcome. “One-size-fits-all” Real Estate is not an ethos she believes in. Her goal is to make the process smooth, stress-free, and even enjoyable. What truly sets Tanya apart is her commitment to delivering exceptional service beyond just the sale. In a fast-paced and ever-changing property market, Tanya stays ahead by continuously refining her strategies and adapting to new challenges. She leverages cutting-edge tools, market insights, and innovative techniques to give her clients a competitive edge. Before real estate, Tanya spent over 16 years excelling in corporate finance, administration, and office management. Her strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and client-focused mindset have been key to her continued success—just ask her happy clients. Beyond real estate, Tanya is a dedicated member of the Selwyn community. As a proud mother, she loves supporting her kids in their rugby and other sporting pursuits, often found on the sidelines cheering them on. She is also passionate about giving back through community work and fundraising, ensuring Selwyn remains a vibrant and supportive place for families to thrive.

Now, Tiaan brings the same energy, discipline, and passion he has put into his own projects to his clients. Offering a practical, knowledgeable, and straight-talking approach to buying and selling real estate. Young, driven, and focused, he understands real estate from both sides of the deal. Whether you’re buying or selling your home he will guide you with confidence, insight, and integrity.

When not working, he enjoys playing golf with his mates, getting out on the lake with the boat, and making the most of his downtime with friends and family.

Great for buyer or seller, we did both thru Tanya

We bought our new home thru Tanya, then used her to sell our previous home. A true professional. We have encountered many agents over the years, and Tanya stands out. Knowledgeable but not pushy. With great attention to detail, she tells it like it actually is.

I would recommend Holly to anyone! She is a fantastic agent!

Holly was amazing to work with—friendly, professional, and so helpful. She made the whole process easy and stress-free, from start to finish! Nothing was an issue and she communicated through every part of the process. Thank you for doing such an amazing job for us, going above and beyond to make sure we were all set in our new home.

Local market expertise and hands on with presenting the house to its best

Holly was great to work with. She really understands the Lincoln market and what the buyers motivations are. A rare mix of professionalism and personal hands on approach that really impressed us the whole way through the process. We received regular communications throughout the process, with a debrief after each open home. Although our timing for selling was not ideal, Holly's advertising and marketing was highly effective, with plenty of interest in the property and attendance in the open homes. We were out of town Vendors, so it was great to be able to reach Holly easily by phone or emails. Thank you for a great outcome Holly!

Holly was lovely to deal with and extremely helpful.

As the house was under offer when I first looked I thought I would miss out, but Holly encouraged me to view anyway and told me as soon as the house became available again. She was very accommodating and helpful throughout the whole process.
