Happy Clients, Real Results! 🏡🌟
Real estate is more than just buying and selling homes, it’s about building relationships. Here's what my wonderful clients had to say about working with me 💬
"Nicky's market knowledge, communication and professionalism is excellent and second to none! Some 14 years ago as a purchaser Nicky sold me number 2 Kassa Rise and made the whole experience painless and ultimately rewarding as I moved on to my new life in Helensville, which I have loved. Now, however, as a vendor, the whole process has been slightly more complicated, but ultimately equally rewarding, as once again it is time to move on to the next phase of my life. Throughout the whole process of selling my beloved home Nicky from day one has been the consummate professional; empathetic, honest, very competent, a great communicator and market savvy as she guided me through the intricacies of selling. She was so patient, always keeping me informed, explaining everything to me (more than once!), always calm and always ready with her lovely smile. Nicky is highly capable at her work, which she approaches with a passion. Nicky has truly worked so hard on my behalf and I cannot recommend her and the Harcourts team highly enough to anyone who is looking at selling their home in the future. Thank you so much Nicky, for the great result that was achieved.
😊"

Kiwis have always had a soft spot for our animal friends. With so many unique and quirky birds and marine species calling Aotearoa home, it’s only natural that we feel a deep drive to protect them 🐧🦭

These days, we’re getting pretty creative about how we do it too. The latest idea? You can actually buy a symbolic piece of one of New Zealand’s most remote islands as part of the Auckland Island Restoration Project.

If you had a bit of spare cash, would you 'buy' into the project?
And maybe the bigger question — should we be looking at doing the same kind of thing for wildlife refuges on our main islands too?
