Continuing a decade-long career in real estate that’s seen her facilitate many successful sales across the city harbour suburbs, Cheryl Regan’s move to Bayleys Ponsonby is a natural fit in more ways than one.
Returning to the neighbourhood which attracted her to New Zealand more than three decades ago, this Canadian native recalls spending summer evenings walking her silky terrier down the Ponsonby strip.
“Ponsonby is such a vibrant community, continually evolving while embracing its colourful heritage and the opportunity to assist a mix of business owners, families and professionals to enhance their lifestyle makes me extremely excited,” she says.
Backed by an impressive business acumen which has seen her flex a creative aptitude for communication and her instantly likeable demeanor, it’s evident Cheryl has worn many corporate hats.
“However, all roads have led me to real estate,” Cheryl says when musing the ways her successful e-training business has prepared her for the dynamic demands of the residential market place. “Early adoption of digital technologies and a client-centric focus has ensured my approach to real estate has matured with the times, and I take great pride forging rewarding and long-lasting business relationships,” she adds.
Though it just might be Cheryl’s spirit that’s her greatest asset. One valuable life lesson stayed with her through adulthood – a concept demonstrated in everything she does, from her attitude through to her signature graphic. “I learned from a brilliant woman when I was a young skier; she was a gold medal winner at the Olympics, she taught me that passion, vision and action are not mutually exclusive in the quest for success.
I asked her why she was the best, she replied not, another woman was the best athlete, but while she possessed the vision and the willingness to work, she lacked the passion,” Cheryl says. “Another she said, had the passion and the vision but lacked the action - this idea of a vision born from passion and achieved through hard work has become a constant throughout my life and a rewarding business philosophy.”
In moving from being a cleaner on aeroplanes to becoming the director of an airline Cheryl continues to win the business with a natural grace and charm. Closely aligned with the Westhaven Rotary Club, Leukemia and Blood Cancer New Zealand, and Make-a-Wish New Zealand, Cheryl is community-minded and big-picture oriented, determined to offer real estate representation with heart, substance and a track record of results.
“I am focussed on the outcome that achieves the goal for my clients, working collaboratively to attract the best buyer for each property results in an optimal value,” she says.
“I am thrilled to join Bayleys Ponsonby and the wider community just in time for what is sure to be a rewarding summer for those entering the local property market,” she adds excitedly.
