Elevated in an established location half way up the hills above Havelock North this contemporary two storey house needs to be seen from the inside to be appreciated. Secluded on a rear well fenced site adjoining the Tanner St Reserve it enjoys privacy, all day sun and spectacular views over the Plains to the Kaweka ranges, glimpses of the sea, and views back to Te Mata Peak. The configuration with two bedrooms, one opening to patio, bathroom and laundry downstairs is ideal for visitors to come and go as they please, teenagers to have their own space or someone working from home to have a separate office situation. Upstairs is light, spacious and airy with an open plan kitchen/dining area opening to covered deck, large living room also opening to deck, master bedroom with ensuite and walk in wardrobe, fourth bedroom or study and guest WC. Light colours and large windows let you focus on the views from every aspect. Versatile in its appeal this property could equally well suit someone retiring and looking for low maintenance lock up and leave, a young couple as the current owners are, or those with older children coming home occasionally. Motivated vendors have a contract on another property and are keen for you to have a look at theirs.
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.
