Licensed Salesperson
I moved from the Waikato to Tauranga 18 years ago. I was at that time a hair dresser, and mother to three lovely children, all of whom have now grown up and left home. I now live in Rowesdale with my husband Arthur, our dog, and four cats.
I have been in Real Estate 7 years and I thoroughly enjoy it. I enjoy the people the job enables me to meet and work with; I particularly enjoy the happiness that the sale and purchase of a home brings to people.
