Born and raised in Featherston, Jen Bhati is more than a real estate agent — she’s part of the fabric of the community. From school days at Featherston Primary to leadership roles around the globe, Jen’s journey has always been about helping people navigate change with confidence and care.

In 2021, after years in business management, international development, and entrepreneurship, Jen returned home and launched Local by Jen — a real estate approach built around trust, relationships, and deep local knowledge. Her work is driven by one clear belief: that moving home shouldn’t mean losing your sense of home.

Jen’s clients know her for her honesty, empathy, and straight-up advice. Whether she’s supporting long-time locals looking to downsize, helping families return to town, or simply offering a no-pressure chat over a cuppa, Jen brings both strategy and heart to the table.

If you’re looking for a real estate partner who puts people before process — and who knows this town like the back of her hand — you’re in good hands with Jen.
