Terri Robinson

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.

One of the most helpful Agents I've ever come across.

Terri and I have never met in person. I selected her as a potential agent for my rental property based solely on an online review. Because I live three and a half hours away, almost everything had to be organised remotely. What I didn’t realise during our first conversation was just how helpful, positive, and proactive she would be. We connected immediately. Whenever I needed tradespeople for small touch‑up jobs or a company to stage the property, she stepped in to assist — even though those tasks weren’t strictly part of her role. Terri was consistently great to deal with: she took the time to ensure I was comfortable with her recommendations, kept me informed at the right level, and respected my request not to be involved in every minor detail. She genuinely went above and beyond, often doing far more than I was aware of, and I’m extremely grateful for that. When the initial offer she brought me fell short of what she knew I needed, I think she was more disappointed than I was. But through careful negotiation and a fair amount of gentle persuasion, she ultimately achieved the best possible outcome — one I could live with. I would definitely recommend Terri as someone to sell your property.
