adds new team member
Born and bred in Tairua, Kate Purdon returns
to the area armed with her real estate National
Certificate. She knows the town and surrounding
area well – literally at pavement level. If you are up
early, you might see Kate running her daily 5-6km
jog with dog Worzel. A teacher by profession, she
is also an avid sportswoman, golfer, equestrienne
and gardener.
Kate joins a knowledgeable sales force led by
long-time resident, Gillian McNabb, who offers
over 15 years of real estate experience. She and
husband Roy have owned many businesses in
the Tairua/Pauanui/Hikuai area since purchasing
Andrew Gibson, formerly with the Pauanui office,
is now at the helm of Richardsons Tairua. Andrew
is highly regarded by both offices and noted for his
excellent negotiation skills and strong work ethic.
“The Tairua community has given me a very warm
welcome”, says Andrew. “I’m very excited about
Tairua’s future prospects in the real estate market.
My ten years with Richardsons has impressed me:
the company culture has always been one which
emphasizes strong community involvement”.
Dealing with them means you don’t just get
one award-winning salesperson, but an entire
award-winning team”. Helena Scott and Trish
Bywell, both licensed salespersons, round out the
talented Tairua office.
Andrew started his property career 18 years ago
in Australia, specializing in residential property
development. He then started a sales department
within a residential real estate company, which
grew rapidly through the late 1990s to soon rank
amongst the best in the entire franchise group. In
2001 Andrew moved his family to New Zealand
and joined Richardsons Pauanui.
Besides his agent’s licence in both New Zealand
and New South Wales, Andrew holds a Bachelor
of Business degree in finance and economics
from the University of Technology Sydney, with a
sub-major in banking.
