Born and bred in Rotorua, Kellie Hamlett brings genuine local insight, deep community connection, and a true passion for the lifestyle this region offers. With nearly two decades of experience guiding people through significant life and career transitions, Kellie understands that buying or selling a premium property is ultimately about shaping an ideal lifestyle, not just completing a transaction.

Kellie’s professional background is extensive and people focused. As the Founder and Director of Talent ID Recruitment Ltd for almost 20 years, her ability to read people, understand their needs, and guide them toward the right outcome translates seamlessly into real estate. She also brings hands‑on property experience through her own management, hosting, and lifestyle property projects, giving her a practical understanding of what buyers value.Outside of her professional life, Kellie is a devoted mum to her teenage son and an accomplished equestrian, having won multiple national dressage titles. She is equally at home mountain biking in the Redwoods, enjoying the lakes by boat, or hosting friends in her kitchen. Community involvement has always been central to her values. She has supported local fundraising efforts, contributed to charities, and judged business awards regionally.

Now living on a lifestyle property in Hamurana, Kellie embodies the best of the Rotorua lifestyle. Joining Team Shona Duncan, she brings authenticity, strong relationships, and a deep commitment to helping clients navigate their next chapter with confidence and care.
