Andrea Turzynski
Sales & Marketing ConsultantANDREA grew up on a 2,400 acre hill-country sheep farm in Wanganui. A typical day’s work would see her up at six in the morning to head off on horse-back, not returning until dark. Leaving the farm to explore employment opportunities, Andrea’s first job was personal assistant to Chas Poynter, Mayor of Wanganui. In 1989 she left New Zealand to travel the world, eventually settling in London where she worked in the corporate world, specialising in international shipping insurance. She met her husband there, and in 1995 they moved to New Zealand where she worked for PriceWaterhousCoopers. In 2003 she joined Harcourts in Kumeu as a Sales and Marketing Consultant. She has consistently achieved excellent sales results and built up a strong reputation in the local community for her honesty, perseverance and professionalism. She believes that the values she learnt from her rural upbringing, together with her corporate experience and world travel, have contributed to make her ideally suited to working in the fast moving pace of real estate. Andrea lives with her family in Kumeu.

Cathy Miller
Sales & Marketing ConsultantMy Motto - “For Success – Attitude is equally as important as Ability” - reflects how I feel about what I do, which is creating a win / win situation... Going the extra mile has been a mantra I have lived by from a young age. In 2001, after nearly 20 years working in a supervisory role involving Education and Animal Welfare, I decided it was time for a change and entered the real estate profession. Along with having the right attitude...listening, I believe, is as essential as all the work that follows. Over the last 11 years I have worked very hard, ensuring that my vendors and buyers trust in me to do a good job for them, is never misplaced. I wanted them to be able to confidently say that they had employed the BEST person for the job. I do my best to provide a first class service because I have listened to what is wanted and needed. Without you I do not have a business - your real estate needs will be my priority. My results reflect my work ethic – Top 20 Rural / Lifestyle Real Estate Agents – Results that speak for themselves. If you are considering selling or buying, please give me a call. I am here to help
