Licensed Real Estate Agent

About Nikki
Meet Nikki Originally from London, England, I've called Waihi home for nearly 17 years. I'm a mum of three, a partner to Cyril, a bonus Mum to one, a lover of art and painting, a foodie, and someone who believes life is best lived with a bit of colour, plenty of laughter and the people you love around you. Family is a huge part of my life, and some of my favourite moments are the simple ones. Good food, a BBQ with friends, summer days at the beach or grabbing hot chips at the park with the kids. Waihi and Whangamatā have been part of our family's story for years, and I love the lifestyle and sense of community that make this part of New Zealand so special. I'm also someone who is determined, hardworking and not afraid to give things a go. When I set my mind to something, I put my heart into it. That's a big part of who I am, and it's the same approach I bring to real estate. As part of the Trueman & Co team, I'm building relationships with buyers and sellers across Waihi, Whangamata and Katikati. I know that property is about much more than a house or a section of land. It's about people, their plans, their families and the next chapter of their lives. I believe in being approachable, honest and committed to the people I work with. I'll take the time to listen, understand what's important to you and work hard to help you achieve your goals. I'm naturally loyal, big-hearted and determined, and I care about doing things properly and following through on what I say I'll do. Outside of work, you'll usually find me spending time with family and friends, getting creative with a paintbrush or searching out somewhere good to eat. And if there's karaoke involved, there's a fair chance I'll be the first one to grab the microphone! Real estate is an exciting chapter for me, and I'm passionate about growing my knowledge, building genuine connections and making a name for myself through hard work and the relationships I create along the way. If you're thinking about buying or selling, or simply want to have a chat about the property market, I'd love to hear from you.

Awesome person

Lisa is a warm, kind, honest real estate agent. She's restored our opinion and trust. We feel like we've made a friend for life. (She's doesn't have a choice 😀). Our house circumstances were a little tricky and we loved how she fought to sell it for us, and battling on our behalf, when we needed her too. You did great in a tough market and hard economy. Thanks so much Lisa. We Highly recommend you.

From the moment I meet Rachel at the open home I was impressed with how welcome she made me feel!!!

Rachel was very easy to talk to and answered our many questions with great knowledge of the property and she went above and beyond with her time helping us to make our final decision on the purchase of our home. We appreciated her professionalism, negotiating the sale with her clients while also negotiating for us and finalising a great sale. Many thanks Rachel x

Best of the best

If humanity, personality and genuine rapport is key, then Lisa is the agent for you! She is warm, relatable and completely down to earth, and you’ll be yapping away like old mates in no time 😂 Lisa knows her stuff, and she is on board to get your house sold for the best price, in the way that works best for you. From the get go, I really felt like Lisa was on our team. She listened to what we wanted, what mattered to us and what we could manage, and then worked with us to figure out how we could make it all happen. I never felt judged or pressured, and there were so many little things along the way where she just went the extra mile to make my life easier - helping facilitate things with conveyancing, chasing things up, finding ways around problems. Even when she was sick she was still working away behind the scenes for us and had support from the wider Trueman’s team to make sure the ball kept rolling. Lisa is so good at noticing all the positives in your property - even things you might never have thought of. Her enthusiasm is infectious, so you know she’s gonna sell it for all it’s worth 😂 Her knowledge of the local market is top tier, and she gives you a transparent and upfront assessment of price and timeframe for selling. She has great connections and seems to have a collection of potential buyers in her back pocket, so it felt like there was constant momentum! The thing I appreciated most though was how easy she made it to work with her. I could throw ideas around, be open about challenges, change tack when we needed to, and ask as many (sometimes silly) questions as I needed 😂 So if selling your house feels a bit daunting, or you’re struggling to decide on an agent, definitely give Lisa a call. 10/10 would recommend!! 👌🏽

Fantastic communication and availability.

Sarah's local real-estate knowledge was a winner for us, she put in 100%, with open homes and with stunning photos advertising our property. Her communication with us is what really impressed and put us at ease with the sale process.
