About Tessa

Originating from a large farm in sunny Nelson, Tessa is no stranger to hard work. During her gap year, she raised 1500 bobby calves and worked in a spring onion packing shed, all to fund her university education. There, she pursued two degrees in Architecture and Building Science, consistently earning a place on the dean's list for academic excellence. After university, Tessa kick-started her career at a prominent construction company in Nelson, where she honed her skills in project management and quantity surveying. Building on this strong foundation, she went on to establish her own Equestrian/Construction company, gaining expertise in marketing, hands-on building, project management, and quantity surveying. Tessa also served as an advisor to equestrian clients, assisting them in setting up new equestrian properties, including fencing, safe paddocks, stables, wash-down bays, and road infrastructure, all while drawing upon her professional horse riding experience. She then went on to establish her own Architectural Design company, focusing on affordability without compromising spatial quality. In this sector, she has been a part of many resource consent processes, giving her an insight into town planning and subdivision practices. With a wealth of experience not only in the construction industry but also in business, marketing, lifestyle, and rural living, Tessa is a repository of knowledge and guidance for property buyers, whether they're interested in bare land, rural properties, lifestyle estates, or townhouses. Tessa is a tenacious individual, determined to achieve the best results for you on her journey toward being the best in the field of real estate.

Honest, responsive, and great to work with.

Tessa originally helped me as a draftsman on my build, so I knew how she worked before I hired her to sell it. She was just as good as an agent. She sent a vendor report every week and was straight with me whether things were busy or quiet. She tracked competing listings, chased buyers waiting on finance, and always got back to me quickly. When the offers came in she moved fast and kept everything clear, even with several counter offers going back and forth in one day. The sale went through smoothly. Her design background is a real bonus, because she understands how a house is built and can talk about it with authority. I'd happily use her again and recommend her to anyone selling, especially owner-builders.
