Jennifer Starr Licensed Real Estate Salesperson

As a Kiwi returning home, Whangarei was without a doubt our first-choice destination. We definitely do “Love it here!”.
I grew up in Northland but have spent 28 years living outside of NZ, including 12 years on the small Greek Island of Agistri (The Hook) where our children did nearly all their schooling.

My work and life experience have varied widely, from a start in youth work and community projects to owning a restaurant in Sydney, to tourism, and property management.

To have entered the real estate field was a dream come true for me; years later, this is still true. I am very people orientated, and it is people that transform a house into a home. To be a licensed real estate salesperson is like being a matchmaker, our mission is to match properties with the people to love them. A perfect match means considering all factors and realities; needs, hopes, dreams, schools, lifestyle choices, work, and aiming for the best possible solution — a place to call home!

Now with 10 years of industry experience, give me a call if you want down-to-earth service while you reach for the stars and an active listener and negotiator who can offer common sense solutions.

I look forward to hearing from you soon!

  I think it's only fair to point out that Jennifer worked incredibly hard to get this agreement over the line in what was a robust negotiation. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend having Jennifer on your side. Thank you, Jennifer.

• A Carruthers

  Jennifer has been a pleasure to deal with and the entire process was 100 % informative, reliable, honest, and friendly. Jennifer worked very hard in an average market and eventually came up with the result of the house selling.

• S & L Jessup

  We found Jennifer to be professional in all aspects of the sale. Jennifer came up with ideas on how to present the house so a clients eye could be drawn in. We were kept in the loop as to what was happening with the people looking. With all the media doom and gloom, Jennifer stuck at it and got the end result with both parties being happy. If we have any more sales Jennifer will be approached again.

• C Stanners

  Professional, hardworking & gets the job done. Jennifer has done a wonderful job selling our lifestyle farm in Waipu recently. She has always been professional, tirelessly taking calls and organising appointments, meetings, sending off info and in our mind went far beyond what we expected or have experienced with other agents. We recently sold a multi-million dollar waterfront property and the effort that Jennifer put into our modest lifestyle farm far outweighs the time and effort that was put into the waterfront property sale by another agency. It just goes to show that it doesn't matter what type of property you have, a great agent is just that, great at their job and I couldn't recommend Jennifer enough. She is a Star!

• Anoop & Reshma

  Excellent job. It’s great pleasure to work with Jennifer. She is so professional and dedicated. We really appreciated her responsiveness and flexibility for show times. Also, she gave us helpful advice on appropriate times throughout. Thank you Jennifer!

• I & J Hartley-Dade

  Jennifer Starr super starr! Jen’s approach is always bang on. She is supportive, caring and honest. She works hard to achieve the best result and has a no BS approach. There’s genuinely no one out there that can walk the fine line of the pitfalls of real estate with the perfect balance of caring and sensitivity with the right amount of strong arm to get the hard graft done and to the best possible outcome.

• L Allen

  Absolutely excellent. Jennifer was clear and straightforward with all our needs and questions. Nothing was too difficult, which made asking silly questions even easier. Great communicator. As well as her assistance in getting the place ready for sale was just an added bonus. Would use this woman any time.

• J Hughes

  I chose Jennifer Starr to market my rental property… Jennifer wrote a fantastic sales description with offers over $$$ rather than a set price. Within two days, I had five to choose from! Jennifer has energy and enthusiasm for selling property. She pulled in the buyers and made the whole process easy.

• L Agnew

  Bought a house blind from Auckland and Jennifer couldn’t have been more helpful. Very professional – nothing is too much trouble. I would buy or sell with Jennifer without a qualm!

• C & A Graney

  Thank you for everything you did after years of disappointment with various agents you came through and offered the best possible advice to achieve the sale. Getting you on board was the best thing we could have done. Your enthusiasm, dedication, honesty and professionalism were outstanding at all times. The service you provided was 5 star and achieved all of our goals. Your straight-talking no nonsense approach was refreshing and fully appreciated. Without you, we would still be mowing the lawn and hoping.

• Happy Purchaser

  Working with Jennifer has been amazing. She was respectful and helpful, nothing was too much effort. I highly recommend her to both buyers and sellers.

• 4/8 Bayswater Place, Onerahi G Bergman-Newson

  All of these attributes are good. I would like to sincerely thank Jennifer Starr for selling my house for me recently. This was a real challenge for her to find a buyer for my house with its many problems and I'm sure like me she dispared of ever finding that person who would take it on It took fortitude, persistence and no doubt a lot of work not to mention quite a few headaches! However Jennifer came through for me and found a buyer, so I can move on. If you have a challenge with your house sale I can certainly recommend someone to come through for you too and that Is Jennifer Starr at Harcourts.

  Nothing was too much trouble. I just wanted to pass on the absolutely fantastic service Jennifer Starr provided over the sale of our property.

• 5 Tapper Crescent, Tikipunga O & C Sinclair

  Dedicated, insightful and worked tirelessly to achieve sale. We enjoyed working with Jennifer who was matter of fact and helped us prepare the property for sale. It was clear she worked tirelessly over a gruelling 7-8 weeks to achieve a result for us. Jennifer was flexible in managing local contractors for us and was fast and open with communication. Definitely recommend Jennifer to sell your home.
