Kim Slessor

Sales Associate

About Kim

Marketing luxury homes more than 35 years ago in southern Spain sparked Kim's love affair with matching beautiful real estate and fabulous people! Returning to her native UK in the 1990s, Kim pursued a marketing and PR career in London for premium, world leading brands, including an international real estate company. Marriage to a Kiwi architect continued the theme! Kim and Ric moved to New Zealand in 1996 where they have raised two daughters and live in an idyllic Eastbourne Bay just across the harbour from Wellington City. Writing articles for property magazines was the perfect job for the stay-at-home Mum period. Now in her 14th year as a highly successful real estate professional in New Zealand, Kim focuses on Wellington and the Hutt Valley, but with particular emphasis on Eastbourne and Bays, where she lives and is considered a local expert in her field. Prior to joining New Zealand Sotheby’s International Realty, Kim achieved many top sales accolades with two former real estate companies. Her record is outstanding. She attributes her success to sheer hard work and effective communication. “I believe all clients and customers deserve guidance, and a flow of honest information that enables them to make a real estate decision with confidence.” Contact Kim and achieve the best outcome for the sale of your home - with the least stress!

Prompt communication, excellent customer service, professional campaign and great result!

We reached out to Sotheby’s in Auckland over Kings Birthday weekend regarding purchasing a property. We had no expectation they would reply until Monday but they came back to us immediately! They asked who was selling our property and put us in touch with Sotheby’s Wellington. Steve, Georgia and Lesley came back to us immediately as well and booked a meet a greet in for a couple of days later. We were really impressed with their warm and friendly approach, the campaign they suggested and the materials they produced. They made it easy to choose them to sell our home… and I still haven’t heard from the other agents I reached out to!! The team wrapped around us and gave us amazing and helpful advice and helped us prep to put our best foot forward with presenting the house for the open homes. They also produced fantastic photos, a video and a virtual walkthrough for the website listings. Not only did this make the listing pop, it also gives us a high quality way to remember a home we have absolutely loved - looking its very best! We had a tall ask of the team to sell our house in a short timeframe to help us make a move North and they delivered for us. We can’t recommend the team highly enough and clearly there’s a culture of professionalism and great communication that is present in Sotheby’s nationwide as we’ve also had a great experience dealing with Sotheby’s Auckland too. Thanks so much team!

Amazing Service and Outstanding Communication

We had an excellent experience purchasing our first home with Lesley, Steve, and Georgia. From the very beginning, they were professional, friendly, and always available to answer our questions and guide us through every step of the process. Buying a home can be stressful, but they made everything smooth and straightforward with their excellent communication, patience, and support. We always felt well informed and confident throughout the journey. We truly appreciate all the hard work they put into helping us secure our new home at 11 Roband Crescent. Their dedication and commitment to their clients are outstanding. We highly recommend Lesley, Steve, and Georgia to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. Thank you again for making this such a positive and memorable experience!

Best Agents Ever

You couldn’t ask for better agents. They go the extra mile to make things happen. They have great communication and are always available and incredibly responsive. The material they supply is above anyone else. I can’t recommend Steve, Lesley and Georgia more. Thanks for everything you did to get our sale.
