Bluebook Issue 87 | 29th September 2023

Welcome

How time flies! It since Stan and Maureen Hickford opened the Harcourts Riverlands office in the Main Street of Huntly in 1993. They started off with a small team of four and watched as the company grew to encompass a much larger team and another office in Te Kauwhata in 2008. I joined the Riverlands team in 2001, fresh faced and eager to learn about all things real estate. I had a young family and my husband John supported me with this new career change. Time went on, I learned a lot and in 2008 John and I bought into the franchise with complete ownership transferring in 2012 less! Stan stayed on as Rural and Commercial Manager and encouragedusasthewecontinuedtogrowourRiverlandsteam.

Since 1993, there have been many changes in both technology and the real estate market but we have always embraced these changes. We have adapted our business to meet the cycles of the market and adopted new technologies as they become available to enhance our offerings toourclients andcustomers.Weareincrediblyproudofour teams, encouraging them through further education and providing the resources to support them as they adapt to the many changes in the industry and legislation. They are always willing to learn and in a testament to their dedication, Riverlands received the Rate My Agent Agency of the Year (2023) award and our strong property management team were the first property managers in New Zealand tobecomeREINZAccreditedPropertyManagers.

Riverlandsmaybearelatively smallcompanybutwearestillhere,30 years later, and have built strong ties within the communities. We appreciate all the support we have had and give back to the community whenever we can. We love our towns and have enjoyed 30 years of memories with the community that has welcomed Riverlandsintotheirhomes.

To Huntly and Te Kauwhata, from our family to yours lettingusbetheteambehindyourplace.

Yoursfaithfully,

ManagingDirector AREINZGradDipBusStud(RealEstate)

5EssentialSpring-CleaningTips forNewZealandHomeowners

As the cold winter days finally give way to warmer, sunnier Spring days, many New Zealand homeowners are eager to throw off the winter blues and give their homes a fresh spring start. Spring is the perfect time to revitalise living spaces and refresh gardens and outdoor areas. Here are 5 essential spring-cleaning tasks that will not only prepare your home for the warmer months ahead, but also help maintain your property’s value over time.

De-clutterandOrganise

To kickstart your spring-cleaning project, take a critical look at each room and identify those items you no longer use. Donate or sell what you don't need and organise the rest. Consider investing in storage solutions like shelves, bins, and hooks to keep things in order. A clutter-free environment not only looks better but also promotes a senseofcalmandwellbeing.

InspectandMaintain

A proactive approach to home maintenance can save you a lot of trouble – and expense – further down the line. Inspect the exterior of your home, paying careful attention to areas like the roof, gutters, downpipes, and windows. Look for signs of wear and tear and address any issues promptlytohelppreventcostlyrepairsinthefuture.

ServiceandTest

These small steps can make a big difference to your home’s safety and comfort. Check that your heat pump is in optimal condition, as an inefficient heat pump will use more energy and cost you more in power bills. Schedule a professional service to clean out filters and coils, and check that vents and ducts are clear of dust and debris. Test smoke alarms to ensure they’re working correctly, replace batteries if necessary, and if your home is fitted

with older smoke alarms, consider upgrading to newer, morereliabledevices.

RevampandRefresh

It’s a greattime to give your outdoor spaces a facelift! Tidy and mow the garden, trim back overgrown shrubs, and plant colourful flowers. Clean and arrange outdoor furniture and prepare the BBQ for outdoor cooking by topping up the gas bottle and cleaning the grill. To help fight seasonal allergies, give your home's interior a deep clean. Steam-clean carpets and upholstery and dust in those hard-to-reach areas like the top of kitchen cabinets, rangehood,andlightfittings.

FightDampandMould

Damp and mould are a common issue in many New Zealand homes, caused by a build-up of moisture from everyday events like drying washing inside, steam from cooking, or hot showers. Good ventilation can help fight damp and mould, so as the warmer weather returns, open windows and doors and let in some fresh air. Dry washing outdoors if possible, wipe down the insides of windows to remove condensation, and clean any mould growth using amouldsolution.

Spring-cleanYourFinances

Spring is often seen as a season of renewal and transformation, and your home deserves the same attention. It’s also the ideal time to revisit your finances and make any necessary changes.
