Nikki Dermody approaches real estate with a blend of marketing expertise, strong local connections, and genuine care for the people behind each decision.

With a background in marketing and communications, including a Bachelor of Commerce in Marketing and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, alongside firsthand experience in property investment, Nikki understands that buying and selling is never just transactional. It is personal. It involves timing, emotion, finances, and future plans. Her strength lies in listening first, then guiding clients with clarity, honesty, and calm confidence. Well-connected through schools, sport, church, and long-standing community networks, Nikki brings market insight that goes beyond data. She understands buyer behaviour because she understands people.

Combined with a sharp eye for presentation and positioning, this ensures every property is marketed thoughtfully and with purpose. Working alongside Gareth Kennedy and supported by the reach of Bayleys Southland, Nikki offers a highly personal service built on trust, strong relationships, and strategic marketing.
