Jo's passion for real estate and a vision to provide a truly client focussed experience, led her to create About Real Estate - Real estate BUT about YOU!

An authentic people person, Jo thrives from seeing others achieve their goals. Her values show through her solution focused communication; being forthright and addressing life head-on while being kind and clear. She nurtures her clients with guidance and encouragement to help them succeed in their real estate journey.

Born and raised in Essex, UK, she grew up working with her family running various pubs and hotels, shaping her to be naturally hospitable, inclusive of all and relating to all walks of life. Jo’s most memorable moment in the publican business was purchasing the Railway Tavern in Chelmsford. Undertaking a renovation of the premises and revitalising the business, including a big emphasis on gin and craft ale; resulting in winning the Pub of the Year award! Immigrating with her family to Whangarei in 2006 she embraced the kiwi lifestyle and new ventures. Her professional experience grew to include working within the community as a Probation Officer for the Department of Corrections, and sales roles leading into the Sales Manager within a top performing corporate real estate brand as well as co-owning and revitalising an aging real estate company.

With her quick wit and energetic determination, Jo is committed to continually build a stronger independent real estate agency with a focus on proactivity, accountability and trusted relationships, delivering a first-rate personalised approach to customer service where you’re not just a number.

Outside of the workplace, Jo is the proud mum of two grown sons, a nan to a gorgeous granddaughter and has two cheeky border terriers; she enjoys spending time with the family while exploring our Northland scenic hot spots, walking the dogs on our beautiful beaches and is a renowned Gin aficionado!

I don’t aim to be the biggest, but I do strive to be the best for you
