Giving freely of her time to establish a solid connection with clients is something fundamental to Sophie Sheild, who feels it is vital to the successful conclusion of all real estate business. After nearly a decade in the real estate industry she knows that developing trust through a strong working relationship with her vendors is essential for a successful outcome.
In-depth communication with her clients provides Sophie with a thorough understanding of their needs, wants and expectations which in turn allows her to create tailor-made marketing campaigns, or promote property, best suited to their needs. Detail-oriented, proactive and considered, she is able to develop a unique strategy for each of her clients.
As her clients’ strongest advocate, she wants them to feel protected, educated and in control throughout the entire process and she believes that if they have a better understanding it can lessen the stress that selling and buying property can create. Repeat clients, as well as numerous referrals, are testament to Sophie’s exceptional work ethic, integrity, commitment and dedication, as well as her determination to achieve the best result possible.
Sophie’s in-depth knowledge of Hawke’s Bay was cultivated by raising her own family of three boys here, providing her with insight into the changing needs of families throughout their different life stages.
When not helping clients achieve their property goals, Sophie can be found out and about with family and friends, walking her two dogs and experiencing all the great things Hawke’s Bay has to offer.
Our vendors have a myriad of happy memories here and will be very sad to leave their lovely home, but are supremely confident a new family will relish living here as much as they have done. Double glazed and beautifully oriented for maximum northern sun, the residence has a real family-friendly layout with large sociable living areas and a modern open-plan kitchen with engineered stone benchtop and breakfast bar; the home is perfect for entertaining. Large private outdoor patios flow off both sides of the living spaces - giving options for morning and afternoon alfresco meals or simply taking in the peace and serenity on offer.
The family bathroom and en-suite are beautifully appointed and have tiled showers plus all of the 'bells and whistles' you'd expect in a quality home. The laundry is separate and storage will never be a problem! Climate control is well-catered for; a ducted heating / cooling system, along with an in-built gas heater in the formal lounge and recently installed woodburner in the main living area will ensure you are comfortable through the seasons.
