You may remember Terri from her 7 years in banking at ANZ, which has given her quite the expedient edge to bring to her new chapter in real estate. Not to mention, her diploma in photography and 10 years spent photographing weddings in Auckland and the Bay of Islands has greatly added to her skill set. Now, she’s ditched the brides and bridezillas to snap away at properties in Kerikeri with the REAL Team – and boy does she have a talent for it!
Originally from the Hokianga, Terri moved to Kerikeri at 10 years old and attended Kerikeri High School for a while before heading south again to attend Diocesan School for Girls in Auckland. Once the final bell rang, this travel bug went off to explore her way around Australia and Europe. Walking the Camino de Santiago in Spain with the Hendl tribe was one of the highlights.
Now hitched to a local Kerikeri builder, Doug, and with 2 gorgeous kids Ruby and Oska, Terri fills her free time dashing to the beach with the family. With Doug and Oska madly into surfing, Terri and Ruby take on the whitewash and dream about their next Balinese expedition (surfing destinations only of course).
Another passion and talent of Terri’s, is interior design. A shopping spree to this gal is hitting the home décor stores – no wonder property is in her blood. Together with her handy hubby, Doug and Terri have also built 2 homes in Riddell Road as well as renovated 2 other homes with a good ol’ hands-on approach.
We’re absolutely thrilled to have this brilliant lass on our team, and we’re sure you will too.
We travelled up to Kerikeri from Hamilton to view a number of properties, and Terri was very warm and welcoming, assisting us with showing us around with kids in tow, and answering all of our questions! We had a bit of a rollercoaster with the purchasing experience and she was a very calming and pragmatic presence during this time. I found Terri to be professional and honest, and very helpful during the process- as was Joanna, who took over from Terri and looked after me just as well. I can't thank either of them enough, I was over the moon with the result! We can't wait to move into our new home.
Terri was very professional throughout the entire process, ensuring transparency with us and all interested parties. Pro active, she followed up with the potential buyers and got us offers on the table. She appraised appropriately to the current market, hence the sale did not take too long. Good communication skills, friendly, good advices, motivated & excited by the listing.
Terri is lovely, I had her recommended by a rental manager in Kerikeri. She always responded promptly when I text her (or if I phoned and she was on another call, she would call me back at the first opportunity). She never put pressure on me with any decisions I had to make and appeared to be transparent in all areas of my listing with Real. Terri managed to reduce the stress for me, selling a house is very stressful! I believe she is a genuinely caring person, and I believe is very good at her job (she clearly loves what she does) and also appears to work as a valued team member. She was realistic about the property market; I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her or the team to anyone else selling property.
