A Year Into Real Estate — Still Loving Nelson as Much as Ever
Nearly a year into my real estate career, and I still love what I do - helping people make the most of life in our beautiful Nelson region. After more than 30 years of calling this place home, I can confidently say there’s nowhere else quite like it.
Before transitioning into real estate, I spent many years in the banking industry, where I built strong professional relationships and focused on delivering excellent service. That experience laid a solid foundation for my work today - guiding clients through one of life’s biggest decisions with clarity, care, and confidence.
These days, Jeff and I are adjusting to a quieter household, with our sons now living out of town. You’ll still find me out walking the dogs or catching up with friends - making the most of the lifestyle that makes Nelson so special.
My mission is to keep the process simple and stress-free while achieving the best possible results for my clients. Whether you're selling, buying, or just curious about the market, I’d love to help you navigate your next move.
Let’s talk about what’s possible.

Jeff and Rangi were great to deal with. They didn’t push anything and let me take the time to make decisions that felt right for us and our family. Communication was awesome - easy, prompt and worked around our schedules. I wasn’t really looking forward to this process, but they made it really easy and enjoyable. Thanks!

Rangi and Jeff as our salespeople were fantastic from start to end, they were friendly and involved me in the process the whole way through. They made what could have been a very stressful situation incredibly manageable. Most importantly the house was sold in the timeframe I required at a price I was happy with. Superb communication and I could tell how genuine they were in wanting to help. Thank you to them and the rest of the team.

As a purchaser I had been to many open homes and made a lot of enquiries to a wide range of real estate agents, and consequently, had received varying responses from none at all, to vaguely interested in my enquiry. From the very beginning Rangi was responsive to my queries. Rangi was proactive in supplying information about the property and let it be known that she was able to be reached at any time, even before I put an offer in the property. I liked dealing with her friendly and open manner and appreciated her ongoing communication throughout the entire process. Rangi was very knowledgeable about the property and anything she didn't know she would find out the answer promptly, nothing was too bothersome. If I was selling a property in the future, I'd be very confident knowing that Rangi treats prospective buyers very well.
