Just once in a while a property touches your emotions, a property lets you envisage nesting, resting, bringing up your family and enjoying your friends.
Just once in a while you feel in a home a sense of history and permanence, a sense that this is a place to live fully and passionately, a place of peace to retreat to. You can imagine spilling out of the rooms to verandahs on almost every side, children dashing down the lawns; inviting friends over for tennis and a swim before drinks on the deck, having all you need at home and not needing to leave for entertainment.
Your children can choose one of four bedrooms and may prefer to sleep in the two under the eaves of the attic, where they can curl up with a book or yell out the window when the hear the others playing on a "water slide" down the grassy slope or building tree huts somewhere on your near hectare of grounds.
Your master bedroom faces the front lawn where liquid ambers, maples, magnolia and mop tops stud the lawn, where oaks flank the avenue that is your drive. Your bay window is repeated in the lounge next door. Your en suite is in keeping with the era but all comfort and convenience. The family bathroom comes complete with claw foot bath and the green and white tiles you also find in the big family laundry.
On sunny days you throw back the doors where both lounge and dining room face the largest deck, where you walk right round the kitchen to either, where you can work at the stainless steel bench and keep in touch with family whatever room they are in. Children may be mucking about in their playroom facing the south verandah and potager, or working on the computer in the office by the back door.
If you want to get away and be creative you have only to walk across the lawn, past perfectly clipped hedges and formal gardens to your 100m2 studio. This new addition to a large existing double bay shed provides you the luxury of space to use as you will. It has a beautiful bathroom and facilities for the kitchen so could be extra accommodation or a wonderful home business base. The European atmosphere of this very contemporary space complements the character of your 1950s home.
Just once in a while, and very rarely in this region, does a property engender all those feelings of home and hearth and long languid summer days. Very rarely can you find dream country home just five minutes from the city boundary.
Introduce the family to a childhood they will remember for all the right reasons, in an environment that is increasingly hard to find or create these days.
I genuinely care about people – and they know it. Approximately 16 years ago when I was at a crossroads not knowing what to do with my career, I was inspired to join the real estate industry and quickly fell in love. Coming from a background in public health and private business management & administration, I was no stranger to hard work and long hours. Real estate is my passion!! I have been fortunate to have worked alongside two major brands in the industry and have remained with the one brand - Ray White. I have almost come full circle – having sold real estate, owned and closed our own franchise and over the past two years enjoyed my role as a team leader to some amazing and talented salespeople Stepping up from sales into a management role has been one of my greatest achievements and I am continually striving to be one of the industries main leaders and role model.
The industry is constantly evolving and with that comes opportunity to continuously upskill and pass on what has been taught to allow agents to become the best versions of themselves. I love seeing new agents grow into successful salespeople and I absolutely thrive on guiding and assisting experienced salespeople in growing their existing business.
In 2020 I joined Crockford Real Estate and assisted the family transitioning from a well established Tauranga family-owned business to two new Ray White Offices taking on the Branch Manager role of both offices – the values of both the Ray White and Crockford families align – traditional with a modern edge – never losing sight of the present and future relationships - and they fit so well with me personally and professionally.
