Michelle Corkindale

CLIENT FOCUS = CARING FOR YOU AND OUR COMMUNITY
Michelle’s background in management has taught her that listening to what people require is the most important factor in achieving successful results. Her specialist field of finance and selling concepts and ideas to people compliment her move into the real estate industry. Michelle also has a very good grasp of today’s technology which is very useful in today’s environment. Real estate success is about marketing and negotiating to get a successful sale and Michelle has spent many years negotiating contracts to get a win/win result for all parties to ensure smooth completion and transition.

Having worked with several real estate companies and consultants in the past when managing the credit recovery department for a large bank has provided Michelle with a good rounded knowledge of requirements for all parties. In addition she later managed the Lending Operation for the South Island which provides yet another set of useful skills. Michelle has moved to the Real Estate industry after 33 years in banking have held many senior management roles.

In her spare time Michelle enjoys time with her husband Paul, 23 year old Simon and 18 year old twins Timothy and Chelsea. Another passion is her community involvement in St John Ambulance. She holds roles as Christchurch Area Deputy Chairperson and a member of St John Priory Chapter the governing body of St John for New Zealand. Recently she has played a significant role in the rebuild of St John in Christchurch. St John has been a long time passion of Michelle’s and she believes that her time as a volunteer ambulance member taught her to value life and value people above everything else. The most frequent comment Michelle heard when she advised people that she was going into real estate was “I will deal with you because I trust you” and another comment was “you will tell it as it is”.

This is further enhanced by the Harcourt’s promise of quality service with a team environment and experience that is second to none.
