Whether you're buying or selling, the right agent makes all the difference. Here’s what some of my clients have shared about their journey with me:
💬 "Positive and professional every step of the way, Nicky was a pleasure to deal with.
Nicky recently sold our property in Kaukapakapa. There were comments from various people that the property had been on the market for quite some time, however, what those folks didn't realise was that Nicky had a contract in place within a few weeks of our property being on the market, but unfortunately the buyers were unable to sell their property to proceed. Nicky persevered and continued showing our home and managed to get another couple of potential buyers waiting in the wings. Over the next few weeks Nicky worked closely with the (eventual) buyer, with a lot of back and forth communication and she got us to a place where we were all satisfied with the outcome. We have been extremely happy with Nicky's professionalism, knowledge of the local real estate market and her positivity - she was always available to answer any questions we had and to offer advice. We couldn't recommend Nicky highly enough!"
If you’re thinking of selling or buying, let’s chat! I’d love to help you achieve the best possible outcome.

Speed Friending Event, Sat 21st Feb 7pm, Dairy Flat Community Hall
Are you wanting to expand your social network, perhaps find a new bestie, or are you new to the area and wanting to find a new friend group?
Speed friending allows you to connect with others, having a full five minutes with each person you get paired with, and later if you both wish to connect, we’ll facilitate that by email. We will provide prompt questions to ensure you won’t be stuck for conversation. It is most definitely NOT a dating event and is aimed at the 40+ age group.
For those who are a little nervous you’ll be greeted at the door and shown through to the bar area - our aim is to keep any pre-event jitters to a minimum. Please bring cash as there is no EFTPOS available.
This is a limited number event so please email fastfriendsnz@gmail.com to register your interest or ask any questions you may have.
All proceeds go to the Dairy Flat Community Hall.
We hope to see you there.
