Your Home Journey Should Never Be Stressful: Kim Tasker's Fresh Perspective

That Home Loan Hub

What happens when global experience meets local real estate knowledge? Kimi Tasker of Team Vida Harcourts brings exactly this perspective to the Kapiti Coast property market. Having managed exclusive resorts and sold real estate in Nicaragua before political unrest forced a dramatic change of plans, Kimi's journey eventually led her back to New Zealand where she's now helping buyers and sellers navigate their own property transitions.
"Our job is just helping people move on," Kimi explains, capturing the essence of what makes a genuine real estate professional. Whether clients are downsizing, expanding their families, or making any major life transition, Kimi approaches each situation with the calm perspective that comes from having weathered significant pivots herself. This translates into practical advice for today's buyers: get pre-approved financing, know your priorities, but stay open to possibilities that might not initially tick all your boxes.
What truly sets Kimi's approach apart is her ability to see value where others might miss it. She encourages buyers to look beyond cosmetic issues and consider strategic improvements, including the often-overlooked value of mature trees and garden potential. "Think about what value a great, big, huge native tree or fruit tree brings to your property," she advises, noting that passion fruit currently sells for $49.99 per kilogram! For investors, she recommends seeking "pearlers" (hidden gems) in unexpected places, particularly areas with new business developments that might drive future growth. Whether you're buying your first home or expanding your investment portfolio, Kimi's fresh perspective reminds us that removing limiting beliefs and staying open to possibilities is key to success in today's property market.
