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 2Â 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.
Highest level across the board! From the get go our experience with Terri was enjoyable, and really summed up all we could have hoped for in a professional helping us secure the right home for us. Highly knowledgeable of the area and neighbours, as well as the property market we had been hunting in for over a year. We were very pleased to observe she knew her stuff. If she didn't have the answers, she got them for us very quickly. Terri was clear and honest through the whole proceeding. Her communication and response with emails, calls and texts was fantastic. We couldn't have asked for a better person.
Terri is fantastic. As first-time buyers, we knew absolutely nothing about where to begin. Terri supported us every step of the way, from viewings to handing us the keys of our dream home. At viewings, Terri listened carefully to our wants and needs lists and answered questions with knowledge of the properties and the local area. During the purchase, Terri was always on hand to answer any queries and to walk us novices through process. Terri's commitment to helping find the right property for us was second to none. She was highly responsive to requests and communication was outstanding. We are so very grateful to Terri for her professionalism, wisdom and kindness. We wholeheartedly recommend Terri for anyone buying or selling a property, she is a total real-estate superstar!
Went back to Real after nearly 18 months of distress. They were sympathetic and obliging. Loved the one for all attitude where ALL the agents were working to sell your property. This is irreplaceable and the widest marketing your property can get. Terri kept us updated constantly but because of all agents working for us, it was Pete Gentil that sold our property. They worked really hard to get us a price where we didn’t have a loss in profit which was happening with many vendors at that stage. Very happy with Terri and Real.
