About Shona

Shona believes Lower Hutt is the best place in NZ to live. Originally from the UK, she settled here 30 years ago after touring around New Zealand while on her overseas experience. “We have the best of both worlds here - quiet, beautiful beaches and hills, open spaces and what the entire city has to offer on our doorstep. It has been a wonderful place to live, work and raise my family." Shona is a sales superstar, having had extensive experience and a proven track record of excellence in sales and customer service. Professionals was the natural choice for her as market leaders in Lower Hutt. They are always looking for ways to keep improving, which Shona thinks is vital to growth, personally and professionally. Recognising a client’s individual needs is of utmost importance to Shona. Every situation is unique and there is no one-size-fits-all approach with people, or when selling your biggest asset.

A Truly Outstanding Home Buying Experience

I recently purchased a home with the help of Shona from Professions, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the entire experience. From our very first conversation, She was knowledgeable, attentive, and incredibly responsive. Shona took the time to understand what I was looking for and guided me through every step of the process with professionalism and patience. She answered all my questions (and there were a lot!), offered honest insights, and always made me feel like a priority. The home buying process can be stressful, but Shona made it smooth and enjoyable. Thanks to her dedication and expertise, I found the perfect home that fits my needs and budget. I would absolutely recommend Shona to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. A true professional who genuinely cares about their clients.

Professional, knowledgeable, skillful, hard working, reliable, a good communicator

From day 1, I knew Shona has an in-depth knowledge in real estate, she is experienced, skillful and has what it takes to deliver a good outcome for us. We were overseas for the entire time our property was on the market. We knew when we left on our trip that our house sale has been left in good hands, and we were not disappointed. The staging, the photos and video were all very well done under Shona's supervision. These, no doubt, contributed to a good outcome. Shona worked hard, was fully committed and put in extra effort to ensure a good outcome. She kept us informed at every stage. We had about 50 groups of interested parties come through to view the property and 13 offers. The property was sold within 2.5 weeks at a price that exceeded our expectations. Pretty impressive given the current market conditions which is still somewhat depressed. I have no doubt that Shona's efforts contributed directly to the good outcome. Thank you Shona.

Amazing Agent

Shona has been a Superstar during this whole experience - From our first viewing, through all of our emails and questions, she has never left us waiting for information (when she's had it, she has been prompt to share it - when she hasn't, she been quick to get it!!). We have found her to be a straight up and honest agent and in general such a nice person - she has been a real pleasure to deal with and we would 100% recommend her to anyone!! Thanks again Shona!!

One of the best

We’ve worked with quite a few agents whilst selling and buying and they’re not all the same. Shona however is one of the best! She has been incredibly helpful, informative and considerate. She has gone out of her way to help us many times We cannot recommend her highly enough. If you’re selling or buying go with Shona.

Amazing! Great result!

Shona has many years of experience and is professional, knowledgeable and very hard working. She is passionate about real estate, her colleagues and her company. Shona invests a lot of time getting to know you and your house and through these chats she also became our friend. She gave us great overall advice and guidance about open homes which resulted in a great result in a difficult market. Highly recommended :)
