Lindy Nelson Parker

Lindy grew up on a walnut farm around Ohiwa Harbour giving her a deep appreciation for rural living and a strong connection with her local community that continues to this day. Now living with her husband and two young boys back in the same neck of the woods as where she grew up, she is committed to providing quality service and results to the hard-working rural residents of the Whakatane District.

As well as offering local knowledge and enthusiasm, Lindy also has a strong background in marketing. She worked and travelled around the world for 20 years, living in the UK, France, Vietnam and Australia, before finally settling back in NZ. As UK Marketing Manager for both a German software company and a UK gadgets company, she relied on her detail-driven and creative approach to make her company's products stand out from the crowd. This skill is also highly prized in real estate where clients rely on agents to present their property in the most attractive way possible within a very competitive market.
 
Lindy became interested in Real Estate after buying a first investment property in the UK. She is now involved in a subdivision project on her family farm and is particularly interested in rural lifestyles and maximising the potential of the land.
 
When not working, you'll find Lindy coaching the 4yr old Ohope soccer team, writing her local newsletter, getting stuck in with local weeding groups, and getting out and about in nature with her kids in this paradise we call 'home'.
