Ayla began her career and interest in real estate as a child being driven around by her real estate agent mum, Sharon – putting signs up, late night deals and viewing property on all days of the week sparked an early interest in the industry.

Brian's a born and bred Nelsonian who grew up helping out in the family agricultural contracting business in rural Appleby. You might have even spotted a young Brian behind the wheel of a Sangster Contracting tractor helping locals make a living off their land - an early introduction to the value of commitment, family, and getting your hands dirty. Brian's interest in property developed from watching his grandfather renovate properties in the 90s, leading him to purchase and renovate his first property at 21. He turned that first opportunity into 2 further 'renovate and resell' projects as he climbed the property ladder. Brian's now settled in a local lifestyle block with 3 generations of the family, including new daughter, a cat, 2 dogs, and 12 sheep. Brian is an experienced tradesman, a fully qualified linesman and mechanic, with a knack for practical jobs and a tradie's eye for detail. Brian brings his firsthand knowledge of property, honest work ethic, and the insight of a Nelson local to achieve the best possible result for you and your family. Contact Brian for any advice on selling or buying, or just for a yarn about all things property.

I am thrilled to introduce myself as a proud partner and father of 2, not born but definitely bred in Nelson! With a passion for both family and community, I am deeply involved in various endeavours that shape my life. I call Nelson/Tasman my home and choose to live here because of the exceptional lifestyle it offers its people. The community feeling you don’t get from a bigger city, the beautiful weather, convenience and of course the close vicinity to extended family. One of my greatest joys is leading the Celtic Pipe Band in Stoke, where I volunteer my time to teach and guide over 50 members in the Scottish art. It really is my passion. Before embarking on my real estate journey, I spent 6 years as a manager at McDonald's. This invaluable experience taught me a profound understanding of systems, processes, people management, and sales skills, which seamlessly transferred to the real estate domain. Since commencing my career in late 2019, I have acquired over 5 years of experience. In my first year, I was honoured with the title of Rookie of the Year and became a member of the esteemed Summit Champions Club, having successfully closed over 21 sales within a year. Presently, I have joined forces with Glyn Delany, and together we have established an impressive track record of selling over 100 properties annually. What drives me each morning is the exhilaration of bringing deals together and creating a superior selling system and process that outshines our competitors. By constantly improving ourselves and enhancing the selling experience for our vendors, I aspire to make a positive difference in the lives of both our sellers and buyers, all while thoroughly enjoying the journey. My success in this challenging industry is largely attributed to the exceptional support from both my partner Kate, kids Austin and Esmé and of course, Summit. Summit’s induction program, mentors, training opportunities, commission and bonus structure, management support, and inclusive culture have equipped me with the necessary tools to thrive. If you've ever considered a career in real estate, Summit can definitely help you too. Whether you're ready to make a move in the real estate market or contemplating a career change, I invite you to call me. Let's initiate a conversation and explore the possibilities together. Your next exciting chapter awaits!

Passionate about property and helping people. Having started my career as a property lawyer in 2000, I bring a deep passion for real estate along with a wealth of knowledge and experience across all aspects of property investment and ownership. Since moving to Nelson in 2009, my husband and I re-opened and operated the local icon McCashin’s Brewery, welcomed 3 children, 6 chooks, 3 dogs, 6 goats, and 3 lambs to the family - while completing 3 renovations, numerous build projects, and several subdivisions. My genuine interest in the property market, combined with broad business experience, professional expertise, and strong networks, allows me to offer real value to clients looking to sell, redevelop, or purchase property.

With over a decade of experience in residential property management, 7 years as a business owner, 10 years as a mum and even longer as a wife, I’ve already learnt the key to getting results is about connecting the right people to the right opportunities. Whether it's finding the right people for a property or convincing my kids to stop saying skibidi, the best results always come when you connect people with the things they are trying to achieve. In real estate, gone are the days where it was enough to put up a sign in the yard and post a few photos online. It’s about creating connections - connecting your property to as many potential buyers as possible, getting views to deliver results. This is why my strategy is simple: get your property seen by more people. More eyes mean more interest, more potential buyers, and better outcomes. Using the best parts of my social media experience combined with traditional marketing methods and the reach of the entire Summit Real Estate network, I plan on ensuring your property stands out in even the most crowded market. So, if you’re also ready to hit the ground running in 2025, let’s start connecting your property with the perfect buyer. Call Steph Monopoli - get it seen, get it sold.
