LIZ RYNIKER has never been one to beat about the bush!
She sells property - plays golf and loves fishing
FIRST NATIONAL? "I didn't know anything about
the company until I saw an advertisement on T V about them selling a property every

12 minutes of every day of the year

"I thought that's amazing" recalls Liz " The more I looked, the better I liked what I saw ....& here I am!"
"HERE" is Guardian First National in Greytown where Liz has been Branch Manager since opening the office in 1997.

They might be a small team, in typical small town New Zealand, but nowadays they're listing and selling such a diverse range of real estate every workday holds a surprise.

One day we're four wheel driving over a 1100 acre lifestyle property, the next it's a $300,000 beach house at the coast or getting pleasure
from seeing first home buyers into their very own home sweet home ...... these people were strangers ...... now client's for life.

I consider myself very lucky that with most real estate transactions I make at least two friends ( the buyer and sellers )

I live in rural bliss between Carterton & Greytown with my mate 'honest Pat' in a modest settlers cottage with 1 ½ acres of native bush and we are endeavouring to grow truffles.  I toil all week and Friday afternoon I go fishing - can't recall how many mobile phones I've lost overboard. My son Jemal is the captain of my boat called Business. He keeps me from having a burial at sea as I go fishing every weekend, in all weathers and at Whatarangi we tend to have many a perfect storm.
My Principal advised me to call the boat Business so I can honestly say I haven't been idle all day ....
I've been out on BUSINESS!
I've got beaut black Labrador dogs called Duke & Stormy - they're as brave as a butterfly & also lives to go fishing - they are always first in the boat and first to abandon ship when they sight the shore and swims for it.
When I first moved to the Wairarapa from the Manawatu I rented the green keepers house on the Carterton Golf Course and got down to a 12 handicap. I do miss playing competition golf and I have promised to take up the challenge again .... but meanwhile there are only so many hours in a day and work calls!
