Rotorua

Andrew Armstrong

Born 1958. Real Estate Consultant since 1983. A successful transaction from start to finish requires the skills and knowledge of an experienced professional sales person. It also requires a person that is able to change with the market and the technology. If you are wanting results – I can provide them; If you want innovative ways to list your property – I have the ideas; If you are wanting an achiever – I have the accolades. I was born and raised in the South Island and have lived in Rotorua for over 30 years. I am the third of my parent’s six sons. I am a cabinet-maker by trade. My formative years were strict but those years helped me form the principles that I live and work by and share with my family today. I have three wonderful grown up children, Aaron, Rachel and Olivia. I have a Wire Haired Fox Terrier dog, (like the Lotto dog) called Jilly. I enjoy the occasional game of golf when I get the opportunity. I am not a pushy person. I am a person who believes in doing everything honestly and the right way. I look at every situation and apply the ‘how would I feel and be affected’ principle. I believe my job is to make sure everyone knows that the houses I list are “For Sale” and also keep totally up to date with all other listings for those purchasing a home. When meeting new clients I prepare myself as if going to a new job interview, it is crucial for those clients to expect nothing less than my total commitment. When you either buy or sell your property with me, I can guarantee that everything is being done that can be done. Find out for yourself just how much you will be rewarded by having one of Rotorua’s most experienced and innovative sales consultants working for you.

Beverley Anderson

Our family left South Africa for New Zealand. A fantastic fresh start! Swapping the rat race of Johannesburg city for a laid back Bay of Plenty lifestyle. “Sweet as“, as the locals would say. Our free time is spent exploring the ever accessible and pristine wonders of New Zealand. We have tried and thoroughly enjoyed our hand at sailing, kayaking, skiing and tramping. Wow! I bring to the table nine years of international business experience in the fashion industry. Where I learnt that the ever changing and challenging markets in business require a proactive approach to remain profitable. I use this approach to provide my clients with the best possible service that I am able to, which means that they are in a better position to achieve what is important to them.

Carole Limbrick-Hill

Country girl at heart with interludes in Town and City. I was born and bred on the Firth of Thames and enjoyed the tranquil life of a country kid with creeks and beach as my own private playground. My intermediate and secondary school years were spent in Rotorua and that move was the start of the gradual widening circle of experience and geographic location. In the late 70’s I set out to explore and found myself in London, followed by spells in Scotland, Africa and Europe. This was also followed by a stint in Auckland in the 80’s where my interest in Real Estate began. I went back to the UK in 1993 and there I managed a large dental practice in the south of England and this was where I met my husband, Chris. Chris and I returned to New Zealand in 2001 and purchased the Kaharoa Boarding Kennels, which Chris continues to manage allowing me to fulfil my ambition to sell Real Estate. An ambition that started in Auckland but I was not able to realise until now. Helping people find their ‘ideal’ home and the hopes and aspirations that come along with that. I want the journey through buying and selling property to be exciting and fun. And I would really like to make that journey with you!

Lisa Collins

Moving to Rotorua in August 2008 meant a real climate change for Lisa, her husband Malcolm and their 2 sons, Max and Sam after spending more than 6 years in the tropical Far North at Houhora. When they decided to move, their plan was to settle in a place which was central to many places and provide new opportunities for them as a family. Rotorua stood out as that place and they have settled in and loving it, as they find Rotorua to be a beautiful city with an abundance of activities and attractions and just what they were after. Living the 'lifestyle' on 10 acres in Kaharoa with a menagerie of animals, there are never many dull moments in Lisa's life. With Clydesdale horses down to pigs and ducks, there is always something to do, but Lisa realised that her passion for building relationships and the desire to work never knowing what each day could bring, pulled Lisa into Real Estate, a choice she is so happy to have made. Since being at college, Retail sales have always been jobs that Lisa has gravitated to, and unbeknown to her, the ultimate job was just around the corner. In January 2010 her Real estate career started, and one year on in a market that saw a lot of salespeople leave the industry, she has proven that this industry is for her with many success stories to share and many happy clients. "Bringing people together and knowing you have been a part of one of the most important financial transactions some people will ever make, gives a real sense of gratification." Lisa believes that her bubbly, enthusiastic nature partnered with honesty and integrity are strengths that are important not only in this job, but in life altogether. Her approach to Real Estate is successful, as going to work is not a job, its a new adventure. Life gives us all opportunities, we make the choices as to what we do with them!!!
