"HELPING UNWRAP THE DREAM" many dream of home ownership and that's what I strive to do in my role as an agent and I LOVE IT!!!
I began my career in South Africa with a property developer training and supporting the sales team. On obtaining my real estate ticket I moved into the vibrant and ever changing world of property as a land agent and enjoyed it immensely. After my son Keegan was born we decided to move from the city to raise him in a more secure setting. We purchased a landscaping business in the small seaside village. My job was to keep the accounts and look after our clients. Well, as people who know me will appreciate, the accounts got forgotten BUT our customer base flourished as I spent my days chatting and laughing with our customers. When our son Mishka was two we made the huge decision to leave our families, sunny skies and move to the safe and secure shores of New Zealand.
We started our new life in the Hutt Valley 19 years ago where my family have thrived. I can not praise the quality of life the valley has to offer enough.
I made the decision to go back into property as I felt after living and working in the valley for 10 years I was able to combine my local knowledge, customer service and passion for serving others to assist families with their property needs.
I know only too well how difficult it is to leave ones home so you can be assured I will do my utmost to make your transition a pleasant one.
Looking forward to meeting you.

I found Pauline West not only professional in her approach to selling Mums house but also compassionate and caring. She always put Mums best interests first and was constantly pro-active in thinking of ways to increase coverage so that Mums house was seen by many. We both were extremely happy with her feedback to us at all times, who zest for getting what we wanted and in the end an outcome that we have all been pleased about. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend Pauline to anyone thinking of buying or selling in the Hutt Valley area.

Pauline went the extra mile and helped with arranging things to be done to the property. As I was in Auckland this helped immensely. She was always available when I phoned and was both easy to deal with and listened to me at all times. In the past I had tried giving my property to several different real estate firms and the results were never good. I had a stress free sale this time.

It has been such a pleasure to deal with your agents Diane Cummings and Pauline West.
When we first enquired about selling our home, I left messages on various real estate companies' websites. Diane was the only one who got back to me via the phone. One other company added me to their database and I heard nothing from any other company.
I was very impressed with not only the promptness, professional approach and friendly first meeting, but also the patience shown by Diane when we decided to wait a while before selling. Diane followed up with a rental appraisal which she delivered by hand to our door which was very generous and personal.
When we finally decided to go ahead with selling, Pauline was introduced to us by Diane and they worked very efficiently as a team to sell our house.
We were always kept up to date by Pauline who called regularly to chat about progress etc.
The reports sent to us after each Open Home were so well laid out and answered any questions we had.
The other agents who brought their buyers through the home privately were on the whole polite and flexible.
Having had dealing with Professionals in the past, we were very happy with this transaction and will definitely recommend Diane and Pauline to our friends.
Thank you for being so understanding and empathetic during this process, what a fantastic result we got in the end!!
Best of luck Diane and Pauline
