About Jane

Proud owners of the 173rd Ray White office in New Zealand, Jane and Carey Simonson bring with them not only years of Real Estate experience, but an outstanding selling track record in the Taranaki region along with a strong family focus that make them the ideal choice when selling your home. That experience and the support from the wider Ray White network has seen the Ray White New Plymouth office take an immediate place among the region’s market performers and it is not surprising when you realise the extensive combined experience between the team members. Jane and Carey themselves are a couple with different, but complementary, skills and experience when it comes to the Real Estate Industry. Jane has been involved in sales and marketing since leaving school, while Carey’s careers include survey draughting, construction, house building, and offshore surveying. Both of them place emphasis on always going the extra mile - whether it’s a lawn that needs mowing before an open home, cleaning a dirty deck or getting a fireplace going on a cold day when they have buyers coming to a property - nothing is too much trouble. Add to that their superb negotiating skills and the fact that they leave no stone unturned in finding the “right” (not necessarily the first) buyer for a home and it’s no wonder that vendors love working with Jane and Carey. The amount of referrals that come in offer tangible proof of their dedication and accompanied by a superb team of like-minded sales people, admin and marketing staff, they ensure that EVERY client gets the VIP treatment and the best possible result - often far above the client’s expectations! And that’s why “you shouldn’t hand your keys out to just anyone”…

About Jijo

With 20 years experience in both residential and commercial sales, I understand what attributes to longevity and success within the real estate industry. I believe the key to building successful relationships in business and in life is a willingness to listen and to have a can-do-attitude. With a Bachelor of Commerce and Masters in Business Administration, prior to joining Ray White I held the position as Sole Operator in leasing commercial space at the World Trade Centre in Kochi, India. I was responsible for 75,000m² of high end commercial leasing and worked closely with the Property Management Team to assist and facilitate many multinational companies to secure commercial space within the World Trade Centre. With an international client portfolio which included Xerox Technologies, KPMG, IQVIA, Nielsen and UST Global, to name a few, For business, I have travelled extensively to Dubai, Kuwait and Singapore. Calm under pressure, I am incredibly detail focused. A skill I personally found valuable when overseeing the design and construction of my own home. It allowed me to experience the residential side of the real estate process from the ground up with residential sales continuing to be an important part of my business. “I value the fact that people look to me first for advice and I like to see the joy on their faces when they purchase a new home”. For me it is about creating lifelong relationships. An experienced salesperson I am not a stranger to selling residential properties having sold over 800 high end apartments and villas. With a wide range of interests I enjoy cricket, football, cooking, reading, travel and exploring new cultures. This deep interest in travel provided the catalyst for making the move to New Zealand. Myself, together with my wife and young family, are enjoying the pristine life New Zealand provides. “New Zealand is a beautiful country with endless possibilities.”

About Neville

Neville started his real estate career back in 1984 and has enjoyed a great deal of success, not only matching people with property, but on a personal level creating clients for life who he is now proud to call friends. His career as a stock agent, along with ownership of a dairy and dry stock property, has prepared him to market and negotiate lifestyle and rural blocks with authority and understanding. Since embarking on selling residential homes Neville has a clear understanding of what is needed to achieve a premium result for his vendors. He has a sound knowledge of the New Plymouth and Bell Block market and likes to keep up to date with market activity. This was emphasised for Neville when he transitioned from real estate into owning a retail business in retail in New Plymouth. This chapter in his career taught him that customer service is paramount and creating great customer experiences are key to repeat business which is the backbone of his business today. Returning to real estate was a natural progression for Neville as he enjoys guiding vendors through the process of preparing their home for sale and equally values finding that perfect home for his purchasers. Having built five brand new homes for himself and his wife, Neville has a keen appreciation for architecture and design. Outside of Real Estate he loves his rugby, sea kayaking and caravanning. Neville, attracted by the dynamic franchise systems of a national and international company, joined Ray White New Plymouth in October 2019. He states “I knew the calibre of the sales people, as I had worked with them before, so I am very confident in my choice in joining Ray White”.

Great first home buyer experience

We had a great experience with Jane and Cassalina at Ray White. From the first open home Jane and Cassalina were warm, friendly and approachable. The communication from Jane and Cassalina was great and Jane was prompt in obtaining information regarding the property from the vendor and feeding this back to us. As first home buyers, we met several different agents at open homes and we can confidently say Jane, Cassalina and the wider Ray White agents were a cut above the rest.

An Excellent Agent from Start to Finish

I had an amazing experience working with Jojo. He was absolutely awesome throughout the entire home-buying process and went above and beyond to help me at every step. He was always available to answer my questions, even after work hours, and patiently guided me in every direction as a first-home buyer. His communication was excellent, and he made the whole process feel much easier and less stressful. I truly appreciate his dedication, professionalism, and willingness to help whenever needed. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy their first home. Thank you so much for all your help and support!
