Kiani Rickard

Real estate has always been a passion of mine, and I’m proud to be turning that passion into a rewarding career.

I began my journey in real estate with the Phelps team at EVES, where I spent many valuable months as a Sales Associate. That experience gave me hands on exposure to the industry, strengthened my skills, and laid a strong foundation for stepping out as an individual agent. I’ve now joined the EVES Lakes office and am excited to take the next step in building my own business.

Before real estate, I worked in the hospitality industry, where I developed strong communication skills and a genuine understanding of great customer service. These qualities are now central to how I support my clients, with care, attention to detail, and a commitment to making their journey as smooth and successful as possible.

I’m a people person through and through, and I love working closely with both buyers and sellers to achieve results. I take pride in building relationships based on trust and transparency, and I understand that every property, and every client is unique. That’s why I take a personalised, people-first approach to everything I do.

Originally from Perth, I’ve called Tauranga home for almost a decade. I feel incredibly lucky to live and work in such a beautiful and vibrant community, and I’m passionate about helping others find their place here too. Outside of work, you’ll usually find me spending time with family and friends, enjoying our stunning beaches and local walks, or relaxing with a coffee and some quiet time.

I’m enthusiastic, hard-working, and dedicated to delivering real results. Backed by the trusted EVES brand and everything I’ve learned so far, I’m excited to help you make your next move with confidence.

Let’s chat - I’d love to help you take the next step.

• In October of 2024, I listed my Hairini home with Team Phelps. During the selling & buying period, Kiani led most of the open home showings. Kiani gained a very good understanding of my lifestyle and personality, gaining great understanding of the requirements I needed.
  
  Kiani worked extremely diligently to research suitable homes for purchase. She sensed my likes & dislikes and the practicality of the properties. On the selling of my Hairini home, Kiani was thorough in communicating the feedback and follow up of folk who had attended the open homes.
  
  Kiani was most willing to obtain the necessary property information and email this to my daughter in Auckland. She worked conscientiously and professionally at all times, arranging many mid week viewings!
  
  I am so thankful to Kiani for having found my new abode. Should you consider selling your property or purchasing another I can sincerely recommend Kiani to do the job well.

• We are incredibly grateful to Kiani for the outstanding support and expertise she provided in selling our family home. From the very beginning, Kiani made the entire process feel seamless, allowing us to move toward our next dream home with genuine excitement and ease.
  
  What truly set Kiani apart was her in-depth knowledge of our property. Kiani took the time to understand every detail, which meant she could confidently and accurately respond to potential buyers questions during open homes. This gave us great peace of mind, knowing our home was being represented with genuine care and insight.
  
  Kiani excelled not only in understanding our goals but also in recognising and aligning with the needs of prospective buyers. Her communication was clear, timely, and thoughtful at every stage, ensuring we always felt informed and supported. Thanks to Kiani's dedication and skill, this major life transition became a positive and uplifting experience for our family. We have since engaged with Kiani to assist us with purchasing further investment properties, confident that her expertise will once again deliver an excellent result.
