Real Estate as a career was more by accident than design. Two years of a law degree and a bit more of a B.A. led to property mamagement in 1980 at Rod Weir & Co. in Wellington where I first attained a Salesperson Certificate - a vastly different animal from today‘s extensive training, especially as provided by major market players.

Two years overseas travel, a stint in commercial interior design, completion of a degree in English Literature, more overseas travel and a marriage in Australia saw me back to Real Estate (what is it about it?) this time for Raine & Horne, Sydney. A move to Auckland, some computer work and a lot of golf and I was suddenly unmarried, working exporting wool in Taupo. Experience of difficult markets may be applied to many disciplines and where else to turn when a change of tack was required? - Real Estate!!

In the last twenty one years as a Sales Consultant in your area I have learnt that all those years accumulating a wealth of knowledge and experience can actually REALLY be used in one job.

In 1998 I completed a Diploma of Business Studies - Real Estate after eighteen months of study at Massey and joined the local Real Estate Institute District Committee, becoming Vice President in 2004 and President in 2006, re-elected for a further term in 2007 and a further term in 2008. With AREINZ status I managed a Havelock North office from October 2000 to February 2005. In 2006 I joined the Bayleys team and look forward to furthering my career under their excellent umbrella of brand, marketing and culture.

My goals are to listen to clients needs and help them fulfil their dreams.
