Hi, I'm Michelle
Southland has always been home.
I started out as an Automotive Electrician and worked my way through sales, management and leadership roles to become Dealer Principal at Southern Automobiles. Twenty-three years in that industry taught me how to look after people properly, lead a team, and negotiate well.
I've also spent more than 15 years in the property market myself, owning homes and building an investment portfolio. So my advice comes from both sides of the table.
Outside work you'll find me with family, at the netball, out exploring Southland, or adding to a fairly serious LEGO collection.

Her customer service is top-notch, and because I know her personally, it was no surprise that she went above and beyond. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase.
