In 1999 our family of three left South Africa for a fresh start in New Zealand. Swopping the rat race of Johannesburg city for a laid back Bay of Plenty lifestyle. “Sweet as“, as the locals would say. We followed my husband’s work, in the engineering field, around for a while before happily settling in Rotorua in 2002. Our family unit grew to five over the next four years. Challenging and developing my skills at multitasking to the full. Our older two children happily attend Kaharoa School loving the warm and friendly environment of their country School. As pre- school age has approached for our youngest, I have switched my full time home manager’s hat for a Real Estate Sales and Marketing Consultant’s hat. Our free time is spent exploring the ever accessible and pristine wonders of New Zealand. We have tried and thoroughly enjoyed our hand at sailing, kayaking, skiing and tramping. Wow! I bring to the table nine years of international business experience in the fashion industry. Where I learnt that the ever changing and challenging markets in business require a proactive approach to remain profitable. I use this approach to provide my clients with the best possible service that I am able to, which means that they are in a better position to achieve what is important to them.

Andrew Armstrong
Sales |
|
Born 1958. Real Estate Consultant since 1983.
A successful transaction from start to finish requires the skills and knowledge of an experienced professional sales person. It also requires a person that is able to change with the market and the technology.
If you are wanting results – I can provide them; If you want innovative ways to list your property – I have the ideas; If you are wanting an achiever – I have the accolades.
I was born and raised in the South Island and have lived in Rotorua for over 30 years. I am the third of my parent’s six sons. I am a cabinet-maker by trade. My formative years were strict but those years helped me form the principles that I live and work by and share with my family today. I have three wonderful children who have all now left home and have full time jobs or are at University. I have two Burmese cats and a Fox Terrier dog. I enjoy the occasional game of golf when I get the opportunity.
I am not a pushy person. I am a person who believes in doing everything honestly and the right way. I look at every situation and apply the ‘how would I feel and be affected’ principle.
I believe my job is to make sure everyone knows that the houses I list are “For Sale” and also keep totally up to date with all other listings for those purchasing a home. When meeting new clients I prepare myself as if going to a new job interview, it is crucial for those clients to expect nothing less than my total commitment. When you either buy or sell your property with me, I can guarantee that everything is being done that can be done. Find out for yourself just how much you will be rewarded by having one of Rotorua’s most experienced and innovative sales consultants working for you. |

Glenn Austin
Sales & Marketing Consultant |

Glenn Austin is one of those guys who makes life look easy. He is happily married to Kyoko and they have a young boy, Phillip.
Glenn came into Real Estate in the year 2000 from a forestry background after first travelling the world seeing and doing everything he could fit in.
Glenn’s family, Golden Labrador - Zak, and his faith are extremely important to him.
Christianity plays an imperative part in Glenn’s life as the philosophy he lives by is “treat others as you wish to be treated”.
This philosophy is evident when he is dealing with his Clients as he believes in letting the purchaser buy a property rather than him selling them one.
Glenn is extremely Vendor focused and has built a strong reputation based on extraordinary personal service and exceptional results.
Glenn believes that the key to being a great agent is in the ability to manage the expectations of his Clients and Customers.
This belief has been tried, tested and proven by some of the outstanding awards Glenn has received;
2nd Place for Top Residential Salesperson in New Zealand for new Sales people, 200-2001
No. 1 Residential Salesperson in the Bay of Plenty / Waikato region
Glenn knows that if he does his job correctly both the Vendor and the Purchaser will enjoy the buying and selling experience - he endeavours to take as much stress out of the process as he can.
From marketing and selling family homes, to investment property - to sub-divisions, Glenn has success and experience in all areas.
For Positive Representation and Positively Top Results
Call Glenn - he’ll get you moving
Our only limitations are our expectations “Expect the Best” |

Daryl Christie
Sales & Marketing Consultant |
|
Born in a small close knit forestry town, Daryl places high value on partnerships via strong relationships with all his clients.
Why?
In short, TRUST and RESPECT.
Daryl is married to his high school sweetheart of 21 years - Michelle. Together they have three children - 4 year old twins, Kobe and Tia and 2 year old Chase. Yes, his family are truly his inspiration.
You see, business relationships are a bit like marriages. When borrowing money from you bank after making that all important decision of setting you and your family up for life with purchasing your first or second home - TRUST and RESPECT must underpin all decision making plans to move forward.
Enough of the sermon … Daryl comes from a 10 year plus all round business background having pioneered one of his own companies from humble beginnings to a national supply contract with T.V advertisements in a 5 year period.
It is this type of entrepreneurialism that Daryl can offer. The “X Factor” needed to get not just a good result but a great result for clients who wish to use his skills in innovation, strong negotiations, market knowledge and not so old fashioned service. All underpinned by TRUST and RESPECT.
Outside of family and business (and in that order!) Daryl enjoys Rugby (Go the Steamers!), League (won’t go there with the Warriors!), Golf (go Danny Lee!) and fishing/diving.
Daryl also enjoys and has been involved via the church in many areas of the social services on a voluntary basis. Budget planning, youth mentoring, food and clothing bank facilitation to name a few.

Ian Fowler
Sales Consultant |
|
Ian is a local boy that started off his working career in the automotive industry, advancing over time to opening and operating Fowler Automotive for 17 years with his wife Heather until they sold their business in August 2005. After selling the workshop they had a holiday in Australia and on their return they moved to Wellington where Heather originated from. Ian’s services to the motor industry were not finished, the corporate world was calling. He was employed by the Motor Trade Association as their Business Development Manager servicing the members in Wellington South Wairarapa and Horowhenua areas. During this time Ian realised he had a passion for selling and meeting people from all walks of life and decided to re-qualify and become a Real Estate Consultant. On completion they relocated to the coastal climate of Katikati to sell residential and lifestyle properties. In April 2008 Ian graduated from the Harcourts training academy, and then in May Heather and Ian moved back to Rotorua with Ian transferring within the Harcourt’s group. Like operating a workshop, Real estate is also a business of people and property requirements. With Ian’s business acumen, people skills and reputation for providing good service, Ian has the ability to listen and achieve your real estate goals. Give Ian a ring; he would love to talk with you on any aspects of buying or selling property now or in the future. |

Sarah Harcourt
Sales & Marketing Consultant |
|
Sarah Harcourt has an historical family link with real estate that reaches back to 1888, when her great-grandfather, John Bateman Harcourt founded the company that bears her name.
So it comes as no surprise to anyone, that real estate is close to her heart. She is proud of her roots and knows that her surname is synonymous with quality, professionalism and integrity in real estate not only in Rotorua, but also New Zealand, and now across many parts of the world.
Wellington born and bred, Sarah is the mother of two sons. She launched her business and sales career in 1991 working in the IT field in another family company. Ten years later in 2001 she joined the real estate industry as a residential sales consultant and hit the ground running notching up records in her branch office in her first year culminating in being awarded Rookie of the Year.
In 2006 Sarah moved to Rotorua and continues her love affair with property sales and mountain-biking! The Redwoods is a popular hang-out for her, both on her bike and occasionally off it!
Her energy, tenacity and love of people has ensured that she is a dedicated and well-respected participant in the business life of the Rotorua community.
Sarah is excited and proud to offer her skills and energy in partnership with Donna Macpherson to make your real estate experience a positive one. |

Alan Hope
Sales Consultant |
|
Alan Hope spent many years working in sales and marketing with large multi-national companies, meeting and negotiating with customers from many nationalities, particularly Australasian, Asian and Middle East. While he thrived on the busy lifestyle, he always had in mind that he wanted to own and operate his own business. Five years ago, the opportunity arose to purchase a motel business, so Alan and Prue moved to Rotorua.
Now after meeting, accommodating, advising and helping guests find the accommodation best suited to their needs and get the most from their stay in Rotorua, will stand him in good stead to help buyers and sellers find their ideal home.
Alan enters real estate marketing at a time when the new Real Estate Institute Act 2008 comes into force. This brings in new legal requirements for real estate agents as well as giving better protection for buyers and sellers. Alan says, “this is an exciting time as new procedures and processes are introduced that will really benefit my clients and help them get the best from their chosen sales and marketing consultant.”
Alan is also a keen Rotary member, a committee member for Rotorua Association of Motels and a Chamber of Commerce member. |

Carole Limbrick-Hill
Sales Consultant |
|
Country girl at heart with interludes in Town and City.
I was born and bred on the Firth of Thames and enjoyed the tranquil life of a country kid with creeks and beach as my own private playground.
My intermediate and secondary school years were spent in Rotorua and that move was the start of the gradual widening circle of experience and geographic location.
In the late 70’s I set out to explore and found myself in London, followed by spells in Scotland, Africa and Europe. This was also followed by a stint in Auckland in the 80’s where my interest in Real Estate began.
I went back to the UK in 1993 and there I managed a large dental practice in the south of England and this was where I met my husband, Chris.
Chris and I returned to New Zealand in 2001 and purchased the Kaharoa Boarding Kennels, which Chris continues to manage allowing me to fulfil my ambition to sell Real Estate. An ambition that started in Auckland but I was not able to realise until now. Helping people find their ‘ideal’ home and the hopes and aspirations that come along with that.
I want the journey through buying and selling property to be exciting and fun.
And I would really like to make that journey with you! |

Michelle Matthews
Marketing Consultant |

Just a little about myself, I have a wonderful husband Steve and three great children, my eldest Karly is married and doing well in her chosen career, my son Gary is a qualified glazier and my little girl Sarah attends Intermediate. Family are a big part of my life, and it is great that we all live and play here in Rotorua.
My career in Real Estate began in 1994 and I have never looked back, each day is a new day with different challenges and experiences.
I often look at the past years in Real Estate and try to work out what it actually is that keeps me going in a career that can be difficult and stressful!. I kept coming back to these words “It’s because I love it”. You constantly need to think outside of the square and challenge yourself with each new task as it comes your way.
IF YOU ARE SELLING:
The best way to make sure your home is not undersold – is to choose an agent that takes care of “your best interests” and to make sure you get the best possible price available in today’s market.“
IF YOU ARE BUYING:
You need an Agent that you can trust, rely on and communicate with – so when you make that purchase you do it knowing that it is the right one for you.
THERE IS ONE THING I CAN GUARANTEE:
I will give you enough information and feed back that you will immediately recognise the right decision to make whether that be buying or selling.
Please remember I thoroughly enjoy what I do so feel free to contact me anytime if you know of someone I can help. Whether it be lifestyle, lakes or residential I have experience in all fields. |

John Piercy
Sales Consultant |
|
Born and bred in Liverpool and without the Paul McCartney accent. I spent my early adult life in Auckland working in the banking industry.
In the early 1980's, I embarked on my "Kiwi OE" which started with nine months travelling through most of Asia and Europe. I spent four years in London working at famous places such as Buckingham Palace, Royal Albert Hall and the Wimbeldon Tennis Championships.
Between 1984 and 1994 I retained my Finance Idustry interest by working abroad and in New Zealand at a Mortgage Office and Insurance Company Investment Office.
In 1994 I decided to sell houses rather than approve mortgages for clients to purchase them, and from that date I have not looked back.
I have achieved an excess of 50 Million dollars in settles sale and I believe this has been the result of putting clients needs first and foremost, as well as retaining a high level of professionalism and integrity. My testimonials come by word of mouth from satisfied vendors who are always happy to refer their friends and neighbours to me for assistance. |
