Andrea Turzynski

I am no stranger to the rural lifestyle. I grew up on a 2,400 acre hill-country sheep farm in Wanganui. A typical day’s work would see me up at six in the morning to head off on horse-back, not returning until dark. Leaving the farm to explore employment opportunities, my first job was personal assistant to Chas Poynter, Mayor of Wanganui.

In 1989 I left New Zealand to travel the world, eventually settling in London where I worked in the corporate world, specialising in international shipping insurance. I met my husband there, and in 1995 we moved to New Zealand. In 2003 I joined Harcourts in Kumeu as a Sales and Marketing Consultant.

I thrived on the person-to-person contact of real estate sales. My strong marketing, organisational and negotiating skills, combined with my passion for the area helped me achieve excellent sales results and build up a strong reputation in the local community for my honesty, perseverance and professionalism. I believe that the values I learned from my rural upbringing, together with my corporate experience and world travel, have contributed to making me ideally suited to working in the fast moving world of real estate. I live with my family and two dogs in Kumeu.
