I live and breathe real estate. I am educated, knowledgeable, and approachable. My testimonials are my career! I have worked in real estate for 15 years, starting with a large corporate company as a licensed salesperson for 11 years. In 2022, I completed my manager’s licence. With two young children, I was asked to work in real estate as a personal assistant, and I have not looked back since 2005. I also completed a Human Development course in 2008. Achieving good results gave me the people skills to interact better with people of all ages. I spent much of my youth in Waiuku, Franklin, before travelling extensively in my 20s. Prior to this, I bought my first home at 19, which was a big achievement even in 1987. The property was rented while I travelled for three years. This experience opened my eyes to different cultures and ways of life. Returning home, my husband and I purchased and renovated a second home in 1996. We then moved to a larger section for our children, yet later left New Zealand again for a further 14 months to live in Denmark. I have learnt basic German and some Danish, and would love to learn Māori and Spanish one day. Over the years, I have met some amazing people, watched their children grow, and celebrated many milestones with them. Understanding the process of becoming a homeowner is integral to my ability to help clients through the same journey. I love motorcycling and knitting—but not at the same time! Good humour and strong business ethics guide my goals to help others. Whether buying or selling, I love helping my clients achieve their goals. I have two daughters: one graduated from Victoria University with an Environmental Science degree and now owns her first home, while the other recently graduated from Auckland Chiropractic College and is now based in Wellington. Many people find buying and selling homes a stressful and frustrating endeavour. I have always put my fiduciary obligation first and foremost. Homeowners and buyers are always looked after, from our first meeting to well after settlement. Working with the utmost integrity and honesty, I am committed to keeping clients informed every step of the way, including after buying or selling. My dedication is to helping you achieve results with a strong company behind me, Arizto. This also includes keeping in touch after settlement, if needed. Taupō is a town full of culture and diversity, and moving here was a great decision!
