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!

A team you can trust

Steve sold us our house a decade ago and kept in touch with us over the years. When it was time to sell we didn't consider going with anyone else as we know and trust him. It was an added bonus to work with Lesley and Georgia - they make a great team. We appreciated their extensive experience of the market, pragmatic advice, appreciation of our personal circumstances and their efficiency. They took all the stress out of the process and we always knew what our options and next steps were. We received great advice and our expectations were realistically managed. Unlike several of our neigbours, we managed to sell our property quickly in a very challenging market and that's thanks to Steve, Lesley and Georgia.

Outstanding Service, Expert Negotiation, and a Fantastic Result in a Challenging Market

It was an absolute pleasure working with the team at Sotheby's Hutt Valley — Steve, Lesley, and Georgia — to sell our home in Upper Hutt. Their knowledge of the local market was excellent, communication was outstanding with regular updates throughout the process, and their negotiation skills were first class. They achieved an outstanding result for us in what is currently a challenging market. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell property in the area.

A good experience for first-time homebuyers

For us first-time homebuyers with no experience. Steve answered questions quickly and followed up promptly. He also maintained close communication with my lawyer and broker, which enabled us to successfully purchase the house. He is a very responsible agent.

Helpful and Professional

Whilst I never actually met Madel, all interactions were very friendly, helpful and professional. The guidance thru a process that is unfamiliar to me was much appreciated. All in all, a good result all around. I feel all parties got what they wanted and that is always a win for all. It was a simple and quick process and Madel made it very easy.
