Carol Thomas

A long term Property Press addict, Carol has had an avid interest in the housing market for as long as she can remember (and she has a very good memory!!). Over the years she has been dogged by an inner conviction that her skills, personality and energy were not being correctly channelled nor harnessed to their full potential. Her career fit seemed like that of an oval peg in a round hole – a close match but not quite right. In recent years her mind has turned more and more to real estate, with each thought fuelling a growing desire to follow her passion. Nelson Mandela once said “There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living”. This struck a chord. With her children safely at university Carol has followed the advice of this wise man, given in to the call of her passion and immersed herself in a career in real estate. Looking back the transition was seamless. Her experience in the homewares and the design industry naturally synergises with the role, and enables her to bring another dimension to the service that she provides. Carol is “wired” for this career. Those who know her will talk about her easy going nature, her empathy for people and her sense of humour. They will also acknowledge her integrity, professionalism, energy, dedication and perseverance under pressure. Carol brings to the profession a desire to make a difference and achieve excellence through her exceptional people, organisational and marketing skills, her self-motivation to deliver, her ability to listen, to understand and to communicate the needs of others. Her experience in business, sales, marketing and customer service is evident in the ease with which she is able to develop a close rapport with people from all walks of life, and also the confidence with which she is able to resolve challenges and identify and deliver win/win outcomes.

I am an experienced business owner and property redeveloper and after 20 years owning and selling both residential and commercial properties, with a little break between I am now working for Harcourts. When looking to return to my passion of selling real estate I chose Harcourts as a company of integrity, they give great support to sellers, to buyers and to their sales people.

Marie Chapman

Marie knows that the skills necessary to get a TV news programme on air are similar to those needed to sell a house. What’s required first and foremost is a clear vision of the goal, then the tools, talent and teamwork to achieve it. Now she’s switched hemispheres, and careers, to channel skills she’s honed over 25 years in journalism – 16 of them producing live TV news in the UK – to pursue her passion for property. She believes property, like news, is all about people. Her natural ability to build rapport, strong negotiation skills and sheer tenacity have helped her blaze the trails others followed. Her colleagues often described her as a safe pair of hands. She’s a creative problem-solver with exceptional organisational skills and a “legendary” work ethic. Her decision to join Harcourts was easy, shaped by her first experience of house-hunting in New Zealand. In a marathon of open homes spanning several months, Harcourts people stood head and shoulders above the competition. Marie, her husband and two children are now happily settled on the North Shore where she is proud to do her bit to support the community. She is a qualified instructor for the Waterwise sea safety programme which she volunteered for within weeks of emigrating from the UK. She tackles school fundraising activities with military precision helping to raise thousands of dollars and more recently assisted media from around the globe while working for Rugby World Cup 2011 at Auckland’s North Harbour stadium. The common thread throughout her professional work and community support is to always give her best. She is committed to working closely with her clients, whether buying or selling, to establish their needs, surpass their expectations and achieve optimum results so they can move onto their next chapter. She welcomes the opportunity to prove that her point of difference will make all the difference.
