Fiona started her real estate journey with a small Whangarei company before joining the Ray White Team in early 2018. Fiona has proven to be a natural in this industry - establishing a strong sales reputation.
Born and bred in Scotland, Fiona brings with her a passion for property stemming from her degree in interior architecture and work as a designer in the United Kingdom.
In 2014 Fiona left the UK behind, and set out on a new adventure to explore more of the world. After a stint backpacking through Europe she landed in Australia. No stranger to hard work, Fiona ended up working on a farm in the Aussie outback, experiencing, among other things, sheep sheering and all things cattle!
Crossing the ditch, Fiona quickly fell in love with New Zealand. Her decision to settle was cemented when she met her partner, Whangarei local, Brad.
Fiona has a natural fascination for people, enabling her to connect with people from many different walks of life. She is down to earth and extremely approachable. Her integrity and can-do attitude are enhanced by her life experiences and Scottish sense of humor, coming together to provide her clients with a solid and unique experience.
Her experience in interior architecture, understanding of buildings, structure and detailed design combined with her customer service skills are proving great assets for her clients in the competitive real estate market.
Fiona’s ability to really connect with people of all generations combined with a compassionate insight, continues to deliver great results for clients.
When Fiona is not on the clock, you’ll find her with Brad and their fur-baby, French bulldog Pax. If not out hiking one of Whangarei’s picturesque walking tracks, you'll probably find Fiona at work landscaping and developing her own piece of land.
Have you always dreamt of packing up and moving to the rural suburbs where the sense of freedom and lifestyle are the heart of the farming community- If so, then Parakao could be the place for you!
This lifestyle offers country living with the added self sufficiency aspects of growing your own fruit and veggies, harvesting the chicken eggs and maintaining the land by grazing a few animals.
Set back from the road and surrounded by mature gardens this spacious family home has everything you need. Farm style Kauri kitchen and dining is the hub of the home with views over endless rural pastures, the lounge is diverse with fire for winter and ranch slider out to the deck for summer.
The rest of the home has three double bedrooms, two bathrooms, a rumpus or second lounge offering more room for the family and the sunroom is a great addition for evening soaking in the spa or drying the washing on wet days. An internal access double garage has rooms for the cars or workshop to tinker, the drive through carport is perfect for the boat, and the driveway is so big it has parking for a truck.
Outside has plenty of room for the kids and pets to play, multiple vegetable beds, a pond for the ducks and a young orchard. The paddocks are fenced and easy to graze.
Just 37 km from the CBD of Whangarei and a 3 km drive to the Old Parakao cafe/bar, this rural location is becoming a popular choice for families when making the move to the country.
The vendors bought this as their dream home with the mindset of renovating, but plans change and they are on the move. It's time for you to finish what they started.
