Proven Results, Happy Clients! ⭐🏡
Real estate isn’t just about properties - it’s about people. Here’s what my wonderful client had to say about their experience 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!”

Aucklanders, we want to know: How are you feeling about the current property market?
New Zealand homeowners are now more likely to sell at a loss than at any time since 2013, and if you’re in Auckland or Wellington, the odds are even higher.
But there is a silver lining: buyers are still in a strong position when it comes to negotiating prices.
So we’re curious…
How are you feeling about the current property market?

‘Tis the season to not get scammed ...
As Christmas gift shopping moves increasingly online, scammers are ramping up their activity across the country.
Dunedin’s Investigation Support Unit is seeing more and more people fall victim to scams and other fraudulent activity, particularly on Facebook Marketplace.
There are a few ways to avoid the scams and keep yourself safe doing online trades this holiday season, says Southern District Service Delivery Manager Senior Sergeant Dalton.
🔒 “A good first step when looking to purchase something on Marketplace is to check when the seller’s Facebook profile was created. If it’s very recent, there is a higher risk that they have just created this account for a one-off fake item.”
🔒 Another important step is to make sure the seller’s profile name and bank account name match up. “We’re seeing a lot of scammers claiming their bank account name is different because it belongs to their partner or family member - that’s a huge red flag."
🔒 “When you’re selling, never trust a screenshot anyone sends you showing that payment has been made. Check your own bank account to make sure a payment has gone through."
🔒 “Quite frankly, it’s best for all parties to agree to pay, or be paid, for items in cash and in-person. Ideally in a public place with CCTV coverage."
🔒 "If you’re buying a car, check Carjam.co.nz to see if it’s stolen or if there’s money owed on it.”
A reminder: Suspicious activity can be reported on 105
