Tess McGuinness

As a highly energetic, competitive and focused young woman, Tess McGuinness was well on track to a professional career with the New Zealand Police before entering real estate. Her proven ability to problem-solve, her strong communication, interpersonal skills plus her integrity and excellent work ethic made her ideal for this challenging role and she was looking forward to it. In preparation, she had even spent time working voluntarily with the police in Lower Hutt. But when family commitments got in the way, Tess began to rethink her career. Her father had worked in real estate for 12 years, 4 of them with Harcourts, so she had already gained insights into what was needed to be successful in the real estate industry. It became obvious many of the personal attributes that made her suitable for the NZ Police would also hold her in good stead as a residential sales consultant. So, the NZ Police’s loss is sure to be NZ real estate’s gain. Previous employers in the retail industry have applauded Tess’s strong motivation and drive as well as her grasp of time management and self-governance. They have been impressed by her creative vision and efficiency, noting Tess’s eye for detail and aptitude for learning new skills. She consistently exceeded her key performance indicators. In every position she has held, she has shown such initiative and has been so highly-thought of that she has advanced through the ranks with ease, rising rapidly from retail assistant to department manager to administrator in a role where she received 100% ratings for customer service. Tess has developed wide networks through meeting other mothers and families. She is excited about meeting even more new people and providing the best possible outcomes for clients who are buying and selling real estate. She is especially enthusiastic about working for Harcourts. You can’t under-estimate the importance of having a great team backing you with the very best systems and processes available, she says. It helps that she’s going to be selling in Lower Hutt with a focus area of Maungaraki. The Hutt is a place she’s passionate about. She loves the variety of great housing options, the parks and playgrounds, the outdoor recreational facilities. Then there’s the fantastic views of Wellington City and the Harbour and the quick, 5 minute access to the motorway into Wellington. But most of all she loves the strong family focus of communities within the area. If you’re looking for a strong advocate for your property, someone with boundless energy and enthusiasm, as well as highly tuned professional ability, don’t look past Tess McGuinness.
