About Louise Birtwistle
Detail driven, presentation focussed and results orientated. With over 30 years of experience owning and managing successful businesses in both the hospitality and home interior industries, I bring a wealth of knowledge, creativity, and practical expertise to every property I represent. From running a popular café in the Bay of Islands to owning a thriving homewares store for more than a decade, I’ve developed a strong foundation in customer service, presentation, and business acumen — all of which translate seamlessly into real estate. My background in interior design and property project management allows me to see a home not just for what it is, but for what it can be. I understand the importance of first impressions and the subtle details that elevate a property’s appeal — from layout and lighting to colour and flow. I work closely with homeowners to prepare, style, and present their property to ensure it stands out in the market and attracts the right buyers. Detail-driven, presentation-focused, and results-oriented, I pride myself on delivering a service that is both professional and personal. I combine strong negotiation skills with a calm, confident approach to achieve the best possible outcome for my clients. My genuine passion for people and property drives me to go above and beyond — ensuring every client feels supported, informed, and valued throughout their journey. My goal is simple: to make your property shine and get you sold. Whether you’re listing your first home or your fifth, you can trust that I will handle every detail with care, dedication, and integrity. Professional, approachable, and always client-focused, I am committed to making your real estate experience smooth, rewarding, and completely stress-free.

Testimonials
The best agent I have ever dealt with and I have been looking for a house for a long time. Lou is very professional, full of knowledge, gave us some great tips and really laid everything out so it was easy to understand. Unlike other agents I have dealt with, Lou has been totally upfront and never forced anything upon us and never push a financial agenda. Really pleasant to work with, incredibly helpful and just so friendly and pleasant. Very good and communicating, kept things simple and was very responsive. We knew exactly what to do and when to do it. We may not have the most in depth knowledge about buying a house but Lou helped us put all the pieces together so that we would be all sorted. Would highly recommend Lou if you are buying or selling, fantastic, lovely agent. Len & Sean, Buyers-
Lou was exceptional from start to finish. Proactive, strategic and genuinely invested — she went above and beyond at every step. Couldn’t recommend her more highly. Sarah, Vendor-
I can’t recommend Lou highly enough. She went to great lengths to understand my needs and facilitate my home buying process. Everything I expect in a real estate agent was achieved by her and is a credit to Harcourts. Daniel, Buyer-
