“Everyone thinks about changing the world, but no one thinks about changing himself.” Leo Tolstoy

Ciao,

On the subject of change, the ancient Greek philospher Heraclitus said the only thing that is constant is change. Indeed, we would be wise to prepare ourselves for that inevitability.

On that note, I have some exciting news.

Following on from the completion of my AREINZ qualifications, and after 8 fabulous years with Harcourts Grenadier, I have made the move to join the Harcourts Holmwood Group at their new Merivale offices (above the ANZ on the corner of Office & Papanui Rds).

While I will be continuing to service all my loyal and valued clients (and obviously welcome any new ones!), I am also very excited to be exploring future opportunities within this very successful boutique Harcourts Group.

It's a new move in place for the new year and just one more reason for me to be excited about the enormous potential that lies within the New Zealand real estate industry.

Look forward to seeing you soon.

Stay fabulous,

This Week's Holmwood Listings:

Auction Tomorrow!

2 Harkness Place, Avonhead

Robustly and fastidiously built in an era of reputable development and of ageless red brick and dark cedar, the home is possibly now ready for some cosmetic enhancement. With space to accommodate a family it may well be that the new owners will bring the house into the 21st century with ease and cost effective affordability. Our owner wants to see a SOLD sticker come Auction day 3rd December and so bidding levels may surprise! Contact Jackie for further details.

Auction Tomorrow!

38b Yardley Street, Avonhead

With 1141sqm of glorious immaculately kept gardens, this is a lifestyle our retired sellers quite simply aren't up to any more. Their dilemma has now become another family's opportunity as they are determined to downsize before Christmas. The shrubs, trees, veges and expanse lawn all make for a family haven but it is now too much for our owners. With three bedrooms in the main house & a charming attic style separate bedroom & bathroom above the garage this house has possibilities for an extended family. This is too good to last too long!
Contact Jackie for further details.

What your car says about you

The kind of wheels you drive speaks volumes about your personality and lifestyle.

Organic restaurants where only diners come from afar

Thoreau observed that humans are happily designed in such a way that the distance they can cover in a day's walking means that were they to spend every day hiking in a different direction from their homestead, it would take a lifetime to get to know every corner of their surroundings.

Venice flooded by highest water levels in 22 years

Venice could use a bailout. The city built on water has too much of it.
Residents and tourists waded through knee-deep water Monday as they navigated the city's narrow streets and alleys, and its historic St Mark's Square was inundated.

Grammy countdown: A look at the best new artist crop

 The Grammy field for best new artist is always one of the most confounding categories. Grammy rules stipulate that an artist need not be "new," only that the release has "established the public identity" of the artist.
