Down to Earth High Achiever

Alison Rudd ensures the ‘real’ stays in all her real estate dealings, her down to earth personality endearing her to clients who find her refreshingly open, honest, genuine and easy to relate to.

“I appreciate the relationships I build with my vendors and buyers and love every aspect, from getting first home buyers on the property ladder, to assisting people buy or sell properties as they find their ideal lifestyles”.

Alison has found her ideal lifestyle on two hectares south of Katikati, with her partner, their dog and two horses. She was so impressed with New Zealand during her back packing the world years, that she persuaded her partner to move out here twelve years ago from Cheshire in England, heading to Christchurch first. When they were shaken out, the Bay of Plenty seemed the obvious choice. “We’ve thoroughly embraced the warmth of the climate and the people” she says.

Alison’s 20 years in sales and marketing (she’s also a qualified vet nurse), has served her well in real estate. She honed her skills and absorbed for two years as a real estate administrator, before commencing selling in early 2016. She’s never looked back, becoming a member of the 100 Club in her first year and consistently achieving stellar results since.

Through hard work and a real desire to please, Alison has proven she knows how to generate successful outcomes for clients selling and purchasing residential and lifestyle properties. She has developed a wealth of knowledge of the market and appreciates the many differences between the Kiwi process and the UK one, which makes her very aware in assisting clients moving from overseas. “It is also great to share my love for this community and encourage others to join it”.

Alison prides herself on her integrity, enthusiasm and eye for detail. “I aim to ensure every client’s experience with me is one they will be happy to repeat and to recommend to others”.

Eight years away from New Zealand and my kiwi husband said to me “We need to go and live in New Zealand and you are going to love it!”

I am from country Western Australia and a shift into Perth and the busy lifestyle it offered had me thinking about a change anyway. The busy, metropolitan lifestyle was not me.

I had spent ten years in Perth starting my real estate career there. I took to real estate like a duck to water. The opportunity to assist people into property, the excitement that goes with those life decisions and the processes of real estate really suited my personality. But having come from a rural background originally I wanted to get back to a smaller community and combining both of our desires, Katikati fitted the bill perfectly!

Now I am fully ensconced in Bowentown and the successful EVES Katikati team have welcomed me.

I’d love to help you now so if you are thinking of buying or selling real estate, either residential or lifestyle, then please give me a call.
