Jo-Ann will personally guide you through the entire process. From the outset she will be upfront and realistic about your estimated sale price; she will never over-inflate this to win your business. Earning and maintaining your trust is far more important. From preparing your property for sale, to recommending improvements, design of a marketing plan to highlight your property’s unique features, right through to open homes, auction or negotiation, Jo-Ann, supported by her highly efficient and experienced team, will keep you informed every step of the way. You’ll never be left “imagining dragons and demons” and wondering where your sale is at. She’ll be honest about what’s working and what’s not. With her solution-oriented and customer-centric focus you can be certain she’ll be three steps ahead of any potential problem. Jo-Ann knows buyers and how they think. She understands the ever present dichotomy where they want to pay less and you want to sell for more.

Jo-Ann attributes her award-winning style - a focus on finding solutions and ability to see the big picture - to skills gained from her extensive corporate background prior to entering real estate. With experience in both New Zealand and the United Kingdom controlling large projects and 24/7 operations, she is easily able to navigate the pitfalls and pressures of fast-paced, high pressure property transactions but is also able to think strategically and find solutions “outside the square” in a slow market or when a property is difficult to sell. When not at work, Jo-Ann is at home on her Pukekawa lifestyle block filling jars with her famous jam, preserving peaches, feeding out sheep and cows and enjoying precious family time with her daughter, son and grandchildren. Having made the move several years ago from the hubbub of Central Auckland to the tranquillity of lifestyle living, Jo-Ann is well-equipped to work with buyers, to enthusiastically advocate rural living and has the knowledge, skills and experience to ensure you are absolutely delighted with the entire process of selling what is probably your most valuable asset.

Supportive team throughout the buying and selling journey.

Supportive team throughout the buying and selling journey.

Jo-Ann cared about why we were moving and what our family was trying to achieve. As well as marketing our home she visited many properties with us and helped us to narrow down what we were looking for. She also provided invaluable local knowledge on the different areas of Franklin we were looking at. When negotiating on our sale she always presented all the options to us in a honest and pragmatic way, letting us form our own decisions without feeling pressured. We really appreciate the support the team provided us from end to end. Thank you team Town amd Country.

In For The Long Haul!

In For The Long Haul!

Approximately six weeks after we listed our two sections with Jo Ann and Victoria, Rural Real Estate activity dropped substantially and has remained somewhat deflated for the last four years. Against this background we have had seamless and entirely positive support throughout from Jo Ann and Victoria. Communication in such an environment can be the difference between success and failure and I can say with certainty that they followed up on every enquiry promptly and kept us updated as they occurred. Eventually a buyer came through with an offer that was well below what we were prepared to settle on. To cut to the chase Jo Ann managed to convince him to substantally raise his offer and we as sellers also came to the table. With an unconditional agreement signed we could then proceed with completion of the subdivision. This spun out for a further 11 months until final Council signoff a few weeks ago. Through out the whole exercise Jo Ann and Victoria have been proactive at every turn AND....PATIENT- FOUR YEARS! I have been through 9 real estate deals in my life and this was by far the most difficult by a country mile. Thankyou Jo Ann and Victoria. Top Team 7

Professional, accommodating and amazingly quick with communication

Professional, accommodating and amazingly quick with communication

We had an absolutely fantastic experience with these two agents, who worked together as a team throughout the purchase of our new home. From our very first viewing, which was arranged before the property even went on the market, right through to the final inspections and settlement, they were professional, approachable and incredibly responsive. Communication was excellent at every stage, and we always felt that our questions and concerns were listened to and dealt with promptly. On the occasions when they didn’t immediately have an answer to one of our questions, they went straight to the vendors to find out the information and came back to us very quickly. Nothing ever seemed like too much trouble. They were also extremely accommodating throughout the process and made what can be a stressful experience feel very straightforward and well managed. Their teamwork was seamless, and we always felt that we were dealing with two people who genuinely cared about making the process as smooth as possible for everyone involved. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone buying or selling a home. Thank you both for making our journey into our new home such a positive experience!

No nonsense, honest, hard working agents that deliver the result.

My brother and I were selling mum's place after her passing and we looked at and talked to a number of agents including high profile lifestyle specialists. What stood out for us is both Victoria and Jo- Ann understood the market, provided direct advice and we thought were prepared to work for the sale - and boy they did! We both live a long way from Bombay, its a big house and there was 40 years of accumulated farm and engineering equipment stored about the property in sheds that needed disposal along with a lot of furniture. Both worked with us around organizing cleaning, dressing and organizing skips and local contractors to do a lot of the clearance. This was massive and way beyond what I've experienced with agents who are more transactional. Furthermore we received multiple offers so feel that we received a good price in what is a challenging sellers market. They were excellent communicators throughout the process and couldn't recommend them both enough!
