I came to New Zealand from South Africa in 2016 to play rugby, met a local girl, and, as they say, 'the rest is history'. These days, Nelson is home - and that local girl and I now have 2 young kids keeping us on our toes. I never thought twice about getting into real estate at just 21. Looking back, I realise how young I was - but I’ve always believed that if you want to succeed in something, you have to work hard for it. That mindset paid off early (and still does). It helped me earn Rookie of the Year in my first year and consistently achieve Summit Champions status since. But this isn’t about me - it’s about you. I don’t do 'fluff' or sugarcoat things - I’m a straight shooter who works hard for my clients and fights for, and gets, the best result. If you’re looking to sell and want someone who’ll be upfront, put in the hard yards, and get the job done properly, give me a call.

We are very pleased to welcome Pete Sheppard to the Summit Team. Pete joins us at the city branch, having been a consistently top performer in the very competitive Whangamata Market on the Coromandel Coast for the past 20 years. Pete and his wife Michelle have made their home in Tahunanui earlier this year, they have 2 daughters, Emily and Ava, at Nelson College for Girls and are excited to call Nelson their home. A word from Pete ... Hi everyone, I'm Pete. Having holidayed here in recent years, my wife Michelle and I could not deny the beauty and history of the Nelson/Tasman area, the friendly people and the opportunities for our family. It really is a special place. My parents moved to NZ in the 1970s from the UK and brought my sister and I with them, so I have inherited an interest in football, which I have played most of my life to a low level. I enjoy sports in general, fishing, snowboarding and I am a sometimes musician and home cook. Mainly I love spending time with my ladies (I have 4 daughters aged 33, 30, 15 and 12) and road-tripping to new places. My work background prior to real estate was varied but mainly in retail and youth work. My real estate career began in 2003 and I have always appreciated the privilege of a vendor entrusting me to handle the sale of their home; it is a big deal and I have always done my very best to repay this trust with hard work, great marketing and an outstanding result. From 1940s fibrolite baches to multi-million dollar beachfront homes and everything in between, I relish the challenge of achieving the best possible outcome in every market, doing it with integrity - and keeping the process as stress-free as possible. Finding the right home for buyers is also something I find very satisfying, and this has led to a lot of repeat business over the years. If you would like an appraisal or just a chat regarding the sale of your home or your next purchase, please don't hesitate to contact me. Thank you.

Hi Nelsonians, I am Prabh Cheema. I am delighted to now call myself a real estate agent, it is a profession that requires a lot of patience, but also a lot of charisma. I take pride in helping people move forward and grow their property portfolio. With roots in Nelson, and a background in various roles. I have previously worked in the Department of Corrections for several years, and helped my Whanau run a very well-known food chain franchise in the Nelson-Tasman region, which gave me hands-on experience in demanding environments. During that time, I became very familiar with the beautiful Nelson/Tasman region and made great connections with locals. After years of running a family business, I have built strong connections in the Nelson community through great service, hard work and honest conversations. Now I bring that same energy to my real estate career. When I am not working, you will find me out on airsoft fields, exploring local coffee shops or enjoying time outdoors in beautiful parts of Nelson. My goal is simple 'Let me do your work so you do not have to'. Whether you are buying, selling, or just thinking about taking your first step toward homeownership, feel free to get in touch. I am only a phone call away.

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.

Hello – I’m Richard, and I believe real estate isn’t just about property, it’s about people. My mission is to provide a people-first experience built on connection, guiding clients through one of life’s biggest decisions with clarity, confidence and care. Originally from England, I made Nelson my home in 2018. Like so many others, I was drawn to the lifestyle - the country’s highest sunshine hours, natural landscapes at every turn, and a community that truly connects. I love making the most of the outdoors - from walks in the Nelson hills to weekends away in Golden Bay or exploring tracks across the Top of the South. At home I’m a father, an amateur photographer, and a bit of a houseplant collector. I’m always pottering away in the garage, fixing, creating or working on a project - the same hands-on, solutions-focused mindset I bring to real estate. Nelson is where my story continues to grow, and I’m passionate about helping others continue theirs here too. With a background in residential building, I bring a unique perspective to real estate. I understand how homes are designed to function, how buyers connect with them and where they see value – I use this insight to showcase properties effectively and guide clients with confidence. With a people-first focus and a friendly smile, I’m always up for a good chat. I make the process clear, calm, and enjoyable - breaking down complex steps into something simple and reassuring. My clients know I’m approachable, motivated, and genuine, but also driven to achieve the best possible results. Backed by the strength of Summit Real Estate’s trusted local team and fuelled by my own solutions-focused approach, whether you’re looking to sell or settle here in sunny Nelson, I’m here to deliver. Let’s connect and talk about your next move.
