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!
Jeff Hulme and Rangi O’Brien were very helpful!
Jeff and Rangi are excellent; the team at summit are brilliant - very professional and focused on working hard to engage the buyers and keep them informed.
Rangi was kind and patient and took me through the property for a further look at short notice. She was proactive and really listened, and methodical and clear with the signing process and implications.
Rangi and Jeff were superb. They have a professional but relatable manner, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to family and friends and also sell with them in the future.
Rangi and Jeff were knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to work with. Never pushy, just professional.
Jeff and Rangi are a great team. They made us feel included in the process from start to finish. We got great advice on presenting the home, type of sales method, advertising, and responses to offers. They are straightforward and we felt immediately that we could trust them. Their communication and updates were excellent and much appreciated.
