About Alison Rudd

Down to Earth High Achiever Alison Rudd ensures the ‘real’ stays in all her real estate dealings, her down to earth personality endearing her to clients who find her refreshingly open, honest, genuine and easy to relate to. “I appreciate the relationships I build with my vendors and buyers and love every aspect, from getting first home buyers on the property ladder, to assisting people buy or sell properties as they find their ideal lifestyles”. Alison has found her ideal lifestyle on two hectares south of Katikati, with her partner, their dog and two horses. She was so impressed with New Zealand during her back packing the world years, that she persuaded her partner to move out here twelve years ago from Cheshire in England, heading to Christchurch first. When they were shaken out, the Bay of Plenty seemed the obvious choice. “We’ve thoroughly embraced the warmth of the climate and the people” she says. Alison’s 20 years in sales and marketing (she’s also a qualified vet nurse), has served her well in real estate. She honed her skills and absorbed for two years as a real estate administrator, before commencing selling in early 2016. She’s never looked back, becoming a member of the 100 Club in her first year and consistently achieving stellar results since. Through hard work and a real desire to please, Alison has proven she knows how to generate successful outcomes for clients selling and purchasing residential and lifestyle properties. She has developed a wealth of knowledge of the market and appreciates the many differences between the Kiwi process and the UK one, which makes her very aware in assisting clients moving from overseas. “It is also great to share my love for this community and encourage others to join it”. Alison prides herself on her integrity, enthusiasm and eye for detail. “I aim to ensure every client’s experience with me is one they will be happy to repeat and to recommend to others”.

Happy Clients...

I fell in love with the property and had been searching for some time. With not much on the market, I was scared and going to lose the opportunity to buy what I wanted, in such a crazy market. The journey of purchasing was not smooth until Alison showed up. The market was in a frenzy. I was anxious about securing property, having sold some time ago. The previous agent did not follow through with my enquiries or requests or agreements, was not prompt at all and seemed to have quite a bias for the vendor. Alison was quite the opposite, honest, prompt in service, she went the extra mile for both the vendor and I, without letting frustrations obscure the job at hand, no mean task given the complexities! Alison helped turn things around and put the love and excitement back into the purchase process. She was light hearted, positive, managed conflict and tensions admirably, honest regarding market value and a very personal approach. I would choose Alison as a friend, having got to know her and I do not say this lightly. I have and will continue to sing her praises to friends and family. The legalities went without a hitch. There was nothing she could have done better.

Karlynne EARP, Purchaser

When we first met Alison, our rental had sold, so we needed somewhere to move to. Alison was very prompt in replying with answers to my questions and going above and beyond to help us. She supplied information quickly and accurately and showed us positives and negatives with property we enquired about. There was nothing that she could have done better. The focused attitude and friendly personality, made us feel like we were in good hands.

Braden & Lucie CAVE, Purchasers

Alison was the listing agent of the property we bought. We liked her as an agent and she informed us well on this property and others we enquired about. Asked if she could have done anything better, we would say, no she was excellent!

Diane & Max ZONNEVELD, Purchasers

Alison communicated regularly and always made herself available to discuss any matters relating to the property, during the sales process. She maintained a positive attitude and constantly looked for innovative ways to attract new buyers. Given the challenging circumstances, I do not believe there was anything she could have done any better and I would thoroughly recommend her services.

Duncan WOOD, Vendor

Alison recently sold our properties for us. She was always available with constructive marketing and kept us informed with regular updates, as we progressed through the sale. Her personal and friendly approach was a pleasure to be associated with and obviously worked well for the purchasers too. If there was anything we could suggest she did better, we would simply answer, no, just be you!

Jim & Helen BOARD, Vendors

Alison was the agent acting on the seller’s behalf, when we purchased a small rural property. The process, for a range of reasons, took six months but Alison had just the right blend of leaving us alone to work through things, and yet keeping in touch, asking if she could do anything and assisting when we needed her help. Alison communicated really well both during and after the process and was a pleasure to work with. A great mix of professional, friendly, and helpful. We have no trouble recommending Alison to anyone looking to buy or sell and would happily work with her again.

Kris & Wendy, Purchasers

Alison did a fantastic job keeping the communication lines open between buyer and seller as well as keeping the tenants informed of what was happening. She went above and beyond when any problems arose, going out of her way to keep all parties happy, resolving any issues quickly and professionally. We would like to thank and highly recommend Alison Rudd to any buyer or seller. We will definitely use her vast knowledge and skills in the future!
