The Network
We empower innovative Real Estate Entrepreneurs with a shared vision to revive value in the exchange of NZ’s largest asset. Property. Together, we are The Network - just look for the trustmark. Specialisation, Smart Tech and Creative Agency for Real Estate Agents. We are Real Estate Entrepreneurs. We believe in what we do. We swim in our lane and find our people that we want to serve. We are not trying to be everything to everyone, instead, we serve our chosen people. We give, and give again. Because we want a reputation of being someone worth doing business with. We back ourselves, and our team who are out there doing better work. We don’t talk about other agents. We don’t waste time looking at the others, because, frankly, we have more interesting work to do. We are curious, leaning into what we do not know. There’s humility in the discovery. We are creators, strategists and action-takers. All to improve our craft. We make complex things simple. We don’t mind being different, it’s better. Not necessarily for everyone, but for the people we serve. We put everything into our work, but our work is not all of us. We have lives.* We are generally optimistic, except when we are told that things can never change. Then we are determined. We build businesses of substance. More robust under the hood than they are shiny on the paint job. We look ahead, do the hard thing and celebrate the win. We give before we ask. We fight to over-deliver. We challenge the status-quo. and We are just getting started. If you feel like we do, come find us. The Network. *we are skydivers, singers, surfers, actors, boaties, coders, gym-bunnies, investors and gardeners and every single one of us is good for a yarn at the local.
