Kim Balcombe - Arizto Real Estate With over 25 years of experience in customer service, I bring a strong people-first approach to real estate. I grew up in Blenheim when it was a smaller, close-knit community, and in 2008, I moved to North Canterbury. It’s where I raised my son and built a life surrounded by the supportive and welcoming spirit of the region. Before stepping into real estate, I spent 8 rewarding years as the Clinic Co-Ordinator at a large veterinary practice in Culverden. That role developed my organizational skills and taught me how to support people through significant, and often emotional, decisions—experience I now bring into every property transaction. My real estate career began in administration, where I built a solid understanding of the industry while completing my license. I then worked as a Sales Assistant, gaining valuable experience alongside top-performing agents. This foundation gave me the confidence to take the leap into sales. Now based in Rangiora, I’m all about making the buying or selling process as straightforward and stress-free as possible. Real estate can feel overwhelming, but with the right support, it doesn’t have to be. I bring local know-how, practical experience, and a genuine passion for helping people make confident, well-informed decisions about their property journey. With me, you will experience more than just a transaction—you will experience personalised care and unwavering dedication.
