Margaret Alexander AREINZ

My parents, sisters and I moved to New Zealand from Northern Ireland when I was seven years old and settled in Te Puke. I have lived here ever since, so I am familiar with the area and the numerous changes that have taken place. Prior to starting my Real Estate career in 1995, I worked for 17 years as an Office Administrator at a local men's and ladies retail store in Te Puke and carried on there part-time for another 9 years after I had gone into Real Estate. I thoroughly enjoyed my job there but decided it was time for a change. Real Estate was a natural progression for me as it offered me the choice to continue working with people. In March 1995, I commenced my Real Estate career and furthered it by undertaking an extensive training course to obtain my Real Estate Certificate, Managers Certificate and the REINZ status. In 2001, the team merged with First National Te Puke Realty Ltd and I bought into the business being a partner for 11 years and having sole ownership for 4 years. I have since sold it to Kaimai First National but am still working as hard as ever as a Sales Consultant under the First National umbrella. I love Real Estate - it is a very challenging, exciting career with many 'ups and downs' and I have met numerous people and made many new friends. I believe I can offer a refreshing approach to the successful marketing and sale of your property.
