“Professional.” “Skilful.” “Friendly.” “Positive.” “Helpful.” “Excellent.” “Personable.” “Well informed.” “Realistic.” Just some of the plaudits clients have heaped on real estate sales consultant Niki Frame after experiencing first-hand her stellar customer service, astute business acumen and comprehensive negotiating skill set, all backed by Tremains - one of Hawke’s Bay’s most iconic and trusted brands. With more than 10 years in real estate under her belt plus invaluable experience gained while working within the wider business community, Niki has certainly earned her share of sterling reviews. Selling property is what she does, but she maintains it’s the people who are the backbone of her business. Her philosophy regarding her clients is simple: “I would rather work hard to ensure my clients become life-long clients, who turn to me first and who recommend me to others, rather than just turn a quick sale.” To this end, Niki considers it her duty to give the same level of care and attention when selling her clients’ properties as she would apply when selling her own, thereby protecting their best interests and helping them avoid classic pitfalls. An enthusiastic tramper who enjoys exploring the region’s hills and rivers and just “being blown away by the beauty of it all,” Niki highly recommends life in Hawke’s Bay. After moving here in 1994 to raise her two children, she now enjoys seeing her grandchildren grow up here as well.
