Director / Licensee of 100% New Zealand owned Smart Real Estate Ltd, Debra Hakaraia is delighted to offer you a full service real estate experience with a point of difference…smart professional marketing, passion for real estate and a dedication to achieving the best possible outcome for her clients.
”My customer service skills began in 1981 working as a veterinary receptionist, nurse. I purchased my first property by the seaside in 1985. This was followed by building a home and living in Queenstown where my interest in property continued. Returning to Christchurch and completing a 2 year full time New Zealand diploma in business gave me the background for my sound decision making skills, and developed my business acumen and leadership qualities.”
“Having marketed property in Christchurch for the past decade for well-known company’s including the largest corporate company in Christchurch, I was able to gain valuable marketing and selling techniques.”
Recently selling property in the Sunshine Coast, Noosa was an invaluable experience which guided Debra in the direction of Smart Real Estate.
“Smart Real Estate came to be because I believed we all deserved to have the choice of a full professional serviced real estate company along with a low commission fee. Why pay 3.95% or even 2.95% to sell your property? New Zealanders have not had a lot of choice.”
Debra speaks strongly of her commitment to her clients, who for many years have benefitted directly from her expertise and knowledge. Her professionalism, integrity and intuitive approach to real estate are well recognized throughout the industry.
“I’ve sold millions of dollars’ worth of property and I’ve gained invaluable marketing and deal broking skills which directly benefit my clients in all aspects of promoting and selling their properties.”
“Expect Excellence is what Smart Real Estate is all about. I expect excellence in all aspects of my business, and I strive to lead by example. I don’t want to be the biggest, I want to be the best.”
