It was a defining moment when Tina first stepped inside a relative's villa. It had a magnificent sense of arrival and history, qualities that inspired her to create her own piece of New Zealand history in Whangarei. After gaining a diploma in Interior Design Tina set about renovating 'doer-uppers'. In 2006 Tina embarked upon her biggest challenge to date: to relocate a 95 year old villa shell from Mount Eden, Auckland, to Whangarei. She had a vision of establishing her own lifestyle property - no matter how much others tried to put her off. Two years later, she had created a classical family home- blending the original architecture with elements of contemporary living. Tina has spent many years at Northern Publishing, was intrinsic in the creation of Scene Magazine and has also owned her own mortgage brokering business. Her skills in print advertising and marketing, matched with her own interest and hands-on experience in property, mean that Tina can offer her clients a powerful combination of skills, experience, and expertise. Tina's family moved to Ruakaka in 1985 from Auckland. Her family are very passionate about the region and were heavily involved in re-establishing the One Tree Point Pony Club. Community spirit runs in the family and is one of the main reasons Tina returned to her home town. Tina has been a Real Estate agent since 2009, she loves Ruakaka and Whangarei and is very knowledgeable about the area. A few words from some of Tina's clients: - Tina was very easy to deal with. She walked us through this whole process and took a lot of the stress involved away . Tina kept us appraised throughout the process and was always available to help us when required. We think Tina did a fabulous job selling our property. Tammy & Chris - We engaged Tina Subritzky to sell our house at Ruakaka Beach. From the outset Tina took care of all aspects of marketing the home: advertising in local media, presence on websites, signage and open homes. We were kept well informed at all times about who had viewed the home and feedback from prospective purchasers. Tina was enthusiastic and professional throughout and just six weeks after we first made contact with her the house was sold at auction for a very satisfying price. John & Dianne - Tina was a pleasure to deal with. She made the sales process smooth and kept us informed all along the way. She even dealt with matters relating to our sale during her holiday and she provided extra service by arranging the final tidy-up and removal of unwanted furniture, for which we were very grateful since we live some distance away.
