Diane Parish - Blenheim Real Estate Agent - Why Real Estate?
Hello, I’m Diane Parish and I would like to share something of myself with you.
I am often asked "Why real estate?", which is easy to answer.
I came from a rural background growing up on a farm at Hilton (between Temuka and Geraldine) in South Canterbury where I started my first business as a young teenager and quickly discovered a natural flair for sales and a passion for working with people.
As an ambitious young entrepreneur, I owned and operated a string of businesses from selling clothing and toiletries from the boot of my car to Beekeeping, and a Fish and Chippery, but had always harbored a desire to become a real estate professional.
I was also influenced hugely by two real estate salespeople that I dealt with on separate property transactions while living in Christchurch for 11 years. I felt real estate was able to offer me freedom, allow me to use my creative flair in marketing and give me the variety needed to keep me excited about waking up every morning to spend my day doing something that I loved, which was spending time helping and advising people, strategize on how best to make their next move!
