Matching property sellers with agents
Tracy Miles is our advisor and website content manager.
Following a career in newspaper journalism, and several years as a director of an internet based business, Tracy joined the Agent Finder NZ team in 2016, firstly working on website content before moving into an advisor role for property sellers seeking help finding a suitable agent - everyone from property investors and commercial property owners - to downsizers, first time home sellers, estate sale family members, rural property owners - and everything in between.
She takes a friendly, supportive, service focussed approach to the role, sharing expertise with professionalism, balancing efficiency with caring for property sellers going through significant life changes, often involving selling a beloved home they might have lived in for many years, or parting with a family home due to job changes or relocating.
She understands the differing needs of property investors to those of downsizers, family selling a deceased parent's home compared to a younger family excited to upsize to their next property, residential home owners compared to lifestyle and rural property owners, including farms, orchards, vineyards - the whole gamut.
She understands the significance, stress, anxieties and financial concerns of people selling what is often their biggest asset, and the need to be matched with an agent who will give them the level and type of service they need. A property investor or commercial property owner selling off one of their properties is a very different person to an older woman or man who knows they can no longer put off moving into something more manageable.
She draws upon the knowledge gathered in her years in journalism, and her university level education (with a BA from Canterbury University) and varied life experience to maintain networks and do thorough research on behalf of property sellers in a personalised fashion, to meet their individual needs. If there's a question to be answered, Tracy will leave no stone unturned.
She also inherited a very strong and stable network of industry contacts from the founder of Agent Finder NZ, Trish Willis, who launched the service in 2009. Over nearly two decades, Trish built a professional, knowledgeable, trustworthy, reliable and award winning service with many testimonials acknowledging the value of what we do - thanks to Trish's foresight, Agent Finder NZ was the first service of its kind in New Zealand.
On a personal level, Tracy has for many years had a keen interest in goings on in the property world, from architecture, styles and eras to property values, the market, and the issues. She has lived anywhere and everywhere from a Victorian apartment in inner Sydney to a stylish '70s house on Norfolk Island with the best views in the Pacific, to a small town New Zealand Victorian villa with native bush garden.
You can trust Tracy to give you sound advice, direction and service tailored to your individual needs.
