Summary

I was born in South Africa and grew up in Bellville, Cape Town. My parents moved us to New Zealand when I was 8 years old so that my brother and I would have more opportunities later in life.

My goal now is to secure a position in the real estate industry, where I can grow personally and contribute to my company's success.

Having recently fulfilled the dream of traveling overseas, I'm now ready to settle down and focus on building a successful career. For a long time, I've believed I possess the skills, drive, and determination required to thrive as a real estate agent. I consistently strive for excellence in everything I do, and I take pride in my ability to connect with people from diverse backgrounds. By taking a people-focused approach to my work, I aim to deliver outstanding customer service and ensure client satisfaction. With a positive attitude and genuine enthusiasm for the industry, I am confident in my ability to build a strong network of clients that will benefit both my personal growth and the success of the company I represent.

My years in the trade industry have given me a strong understanding of property value and maintenance, as well as the most effective ways to communicate with building companies, answer client questions, and adapt to changing plans, giving me experience that is easily transferable to real estate.

I look forward further developing the skills required and am excited to join your team.
