Just a little bit of information about me. I live in Opunake and have done for most of my life. It's a great place to live and raise a family, which is what Keith and I have done. We have four adult children: Alex, Josh, Erin and James. We are also very proud grandparents of our first grandchild. Real estate is a great career. It's very satisfying helping people through what can be a very stressful process and seeing them through to when the SOLD sticker goes up certainly makes it all worthwhile

I commenced a rural estate agent sales career at the beginning of the 2006 year.

I am sure that my empathy with people and understanding of farms and farmers, combined with hard earned experience in negotiating desired outcomes for my clients are of immense advantage with a proven track record of honest hard work and a forthright helpful manner. I look forward to a long and rewarding career, fulfilling my clients dreams and aspirations in land acquisition.

Hello, my name is Joanne and I am the newest addition to the McDonald Real Estate team in South Taranaki.
I am likely to be a familiar face with many of you already, as I have worked for a few local South Taranaki businesses over the years.

I enjoy meeting new and interesting people from all walks of life and I'm looking forward to assisting both vendors and purchasers achieve their real estate goals.
I am dedicated to client satisfaction and have received excellent customer service reviews in all my past positions.
Professional development is important to me and I am fortunate to be working alongside many talented and knowledgeable agents here at McDonald Real Estate.
As a real estate salesperson, I offer my clients honesty, excellent customer service and reliability throughout the buying and selling process. If we haven’t met already, be sure to stop me in the street and introduce yourself.

Hi, my name is Carol Weir and I work as a residential sales consultant at McDonald Real Estate in both Inglewood and New Plymouth branches. My career in sales began in April 1993, when the then manager of TSB Realty kept pestering me to give up nursing and go into real estate. I did, but thought it wouldn't last long because the pull to go back to nursing would be too strong. Fourteen years later, I'm still here and loving it more and more. I have a wonderful supportive husband who, over the last 14 years, got used to being neglected; only seeing glimpses of me as I dash to appointment after appointment. During this time, he has become a very good cook, rushing from his self employed work to beat the rain to the washing. He's even attempted ironing, but still hangs shirts on the line by the shoulders - one has learnt to be ever so tactful when wanting to criticise for an otherwise job well done. We have five wonderful children, aged 26-34, who are spread across the globe. Real estate is a huge part of my life and I love it. The highs and lows all taken in their stride; the everyday challenge of listings and selling; pleasing clients and customers and changing my ways and ideas to meet the changes of the day.

I am living in Inglewood and have been in the North Taranaki area all my life. I have been farming a sheep/beef and grazing block in Tarata since 1994 and have enjoyed the farming background. I am the finance manager of the Kaimata Board of Trustees and the link with a government department certainly ensures you have good patience and high tolerance levels. Twenty five years in the wool industry and three in the dairy industry have given me a very good overview of the rural sector and I am looking forward to extending that knowledge into the real estate market.

Real estate has been a lifetime passion of mine. Since joining the industry in 1976, I have gained significant local experience, which I believe is second to none!

I have been working in the property management area since 2003, having been a retail manager for many years. I have always worked with the public and feel very passionate and dedicated to giving the very best service to owners, helping them to achieve a profitable investment with the least stress. My main role in the business is in inspection and maintenance, which means I have as much to do with the tenants as the owners. I also liaise closely with trades people. I have two grown daughters, three great step-sons and 11 wonderful grandchildren who play a very big part in my life. My interests are in the theatre, motorbike riding and gardening with my partner Kevin as often as time allows.

I have lived and owned businesses in Taranaki for the last 22 years. I have been married to my wife, Pam, for 30 years and we have two sons, Daniel and John. Having recently joined the commercial team at McDonald Real Estate's New Plymouth office, I am excited at the prospect of being with the company when it celebrates its centenary in 2012. This is a fabulous achievement for a family business - one that I am proud to be a part of as we move into the second century. I have had a long and successful career in retail businesses over the last 20 years, winning the Westpac Business Award for the Retail of the Year twice as well as winning the Small Business of the Year. I have also achieved many awards in the Top Shop yearly service-based competition. Passionate about excellent customer service, I have studied the intricacies of a sale with the likes of Harry Friedman, where I learnt how to find the best product for my clients. I strongly believe that with understanding, a natural enthusiasm and a positive outlook, I can provide my clients with the most impressive service available.

In 1976 at just 22 years old, I joined the business with my father, Tom, and became one of the youngest in the country to hold an associate of the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand. In 1979, I went on to become the managing director of the company, which has since grown from a two person partnership in 1976 to a company with a staff of 46 and a turnover in excess of $100 million. I am based in our Stratford office, which still occupies the same spot that my grandfather, Michael, set up in 1920. As a third generation owner, my main goal is to ensure the company remains among the top performers in the industry and that it continues to grow and prosper until the forth and possibly fifth generation of family take over the reins. In 1998, I was awarded a fellowship of the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand in recognition of my services to the Taranaki real estate industry.

Having emigrated from Scotland thirty years ago with my husband Graeme and children Gordon and Avrael, I have found New Zealand a wonderful country to live in. Most of this time has been spent in Taranaki. I have always been interested in real estate and since commencing my career initially with TSB Realty and now with McDonald Real Estate, it's become my passion and an ongoing challenge. Every day is interesting - whether it be meeting new or existing clients. I feel privileged to be involved in what can be a demanding time and strive to make the process of buying or selling as stress-free as possible. My other interests are my two beautiful grandchildren Niamh and Hamish; renovating our properties; gardening; walking my sedate 14 year old Labrador and my very exuberant one year old Labrador through the bush surrounding our lifestyle block.

Originally from a farming background, my parents owned a dairy farm in Cardiff. My early working years were spent with the Taranaki Electric Power Board but after 14 years in the industry, I decided it was time for a change. My wife Maureen and I purchased a dairy in Inglewood and it wasn't until 1992 that I ventured into real estate, gaining my branch manager's certification three years later. In 2002, Maureen and I sought an adventure and headed to England where we worked for an agency for the next 12 months, which specialised in animal minding and house protection. This was a very interesting and fun occupation - one filled with a lot of laughs! When we returned to New Zealand, I entered into the real estate profession, choosing to work for McDonald Real Estate Ltd - the family company who work to get results for you.

Stratford has been my home for the last 25 years. It's a town I've grown to love and enjoy with the people and friends I've made on my life's journey. I pride myself on being an honest and reliable person, having always given my best to every employer I've worked for. Prior to becoming a real estate agent, I worked as a nurse aid; a pool manager; I have done travel, tourism and office work, as well as volunteer and community work. I love dealing face to face with people and for the past two and a half years, I have also been selling cars to locals, which I embarked on as a new career challenge. Now, as a real estate agent, I feel I have found my niche in today's society. I am 100% dedicated to being the best ever agent for my clients. I work with a great team here in Stratford and I'm prepared to learn new skills along the way. I will be listing and selling properties with my usual integrity and honesty.

I'm married to Diann and we have three children - a son in Hamilton, a daughter in England and another daughter in Wellington. Diann and I are also proud grandparents to Ella, Lilly and Oliver. I love living in Stratford, this being the place of my birth and I have enjoyed selling Real Estate with McDonald Real Estate Ltd since 1994. Stratford is a lovely district to live and work in, with excellent facilities, good schools and a caring community. In my spare time I enjoy socialising, playing bridge, reading, and watching sport. As I have recently retired as mayor of the Stratford District, I intend to spend more time travelling with the family. For someone who enjoyed a career as a master builder, I get a lot of pleasure out of listing and selling homes. It's great when you can take your hobby to work!

In 1976 at just 22 years old, I joined the business with my father, Tom, and became one of the youngest in the country to hold an associate of the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand. In 1979, I went on to become the managing director of the company, which has since grown from a two person partnership in 1976 to a company with a staff of 46 and a turnover in excess of $100 million. I am based in our Stratford office, which still occupies the same spot that my grandfather, Michael, set up in 1920. As a third generation owner, my main goal is to ensure the company remains among the top performers in the industry and that it continues to grow and prosper until the forth and possibly fifth generation of family take over the reins. In 1998, I was awarded a fellowship of the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand in recognition of my services to the Taranaki real estate industry.

Hi, I’m Margaret ... 'Maggie' to my mates. My husband Darcy and I have lived in Waitara for almost all of our 46 years of marriage. It’s here that our three children, Stephen, Donna and Jackie have been educated, grown up and finally flown the proverbial nest. I am a well certified member of the “Granny Brigade”. We have seven grandchildren, ranging from the tender age of four years, to the very mature 26!! I have worked in the retail sector of the town for close to 37 years - almost 14 of those in real estate. In 2008 I attained AREINZ status – something that helped me realise I could still handle the mental challenge of study and exams, culminating in a successful result. I have a huge passion for real estate. In 2006, I invited Kerrie Montgomerie into a partnership with me (Kerrie had previously been our receptionist from when the office opened in 2000). The partnership has proved to be a very successful move and as a team we have gone from strength to strength, not only building a very strong place in residential sales but also specialising and achieving the reputation of being the leading lifestyle team in the area. Waitara is a great place to be. I have seen many families grow up, move away and often return again. For them and myself – Waitara is “home”. I can assure you, that if you put your trust in me – in the selling or buying of a property – I will in return give you the very best of service, honesty and a commitment to go that “EXTRA MILE".

As a potential client, you may want to know a little about me, so I've penned this short profile. I began my real estate career in Waitara. It seems such a long time ago. Aside from three years travelling overseas, I have been listing and selling property in Waitara and surrounding areas ever since. In 2001, I completed my management and licensee papers through Massey University. I managed the Waitara office for eight years and now under the Real Estate Agents Authority Act, I have licensee status. I guess, having survived this many years in a topsy turvy profession, I must be doing something right. I still get a real buzz out of seeing the delight that both vendors and purchasers experience when a transaction has taken place. My vast experience means I'm well tuned to the needs of my clients and I especially pride myself on my knowledge regarding the rental investment field. Waitara born and bred, I am perhaps better known for my golfing exploits, having played over 100 matches for Taranaki - believe it or not - a lot of business gets done on the golf course. If I am able to assist you in any way with your real estate requirements, please do not hesitate to contact me.

I have lived in Waitara all my life and come from a well known local family. I have two great daughters, Casey and Tiaan, who keep me on my toes and my feet firmly on the ground. Sport plays a major part in my life - especially my netball. I am currently involved with Raukura Netball Club and have been for coming up thirty years— mostly as a player and recently as a coach of which I am very proud. Both my daughters play, so I guess that begins the next chapter. We are very sports-orientated and do a lot of travelling around supporting the different interests the family are involved in. I have been working alongside Margaret Mangino since June 2006, which has been a great learning curve, and our partnership continues to thrive in the local residential and lifestyle market. If I can assist you with your real estate requirements in the future, please call.

Having spent the last three years in real estate I am convinced I have found my calling. Helping people into their own home is such a buzz and meeting new people everyday is something I look forward to. Coming from a farming background, the change to real estate was a real challenge, but something I thrived on. I have since achieved rookie of the year for McDonald Real Estate, which gave me great satisfaction in knowing I picked a career that suited me. I am fortunate to have two awesome children: Libby, who is nearly 21 and currently a junior legal secretary and Baxter, who is 15 and in his third year at Francis Douglas College. My outside interests include tennis, tennis and more tennis, which leaves me fit and strong for erecting advertising signs, while also running from property to property for my clients. I thoroughly enjoy the challenges real estate brings and believe my positive attitude shines through in the way I go about the job. If you are in need of an energetic, enthusiasic and honest agent, look no further and give me a call.

My name is Raewyn Breman and I have worked for McDonald Real Estate since 2002. I started in the Waitara office as the receptionist and I also did property management for approximately four years before deciding to move into a sales role, which also included property management. After working in these two roles combined for sometime, I gave up the sales role, realising my true passion is in dealing with rental properties. I now reside in Lepperton and work from both the Waitara and Bell Block offices. I am a well established property manager in the Waitara area and I now cover Urenui, Bell Block, Fitzroy and the surrounding rural areas. I can offer you competitive rates and professional service for full management or casual landlord needs. Call me today for further information
