About Me

Nigel Smith

RESIDENTIAL & LIFESTYLE PROPERTY SPECIALIST

If you are ready to buy or sell a property, my role as your agent is to share my knowledge of the industry.

With some 28 years plus experience selling lifestyle and residential properties, I have gained a reputation as being honest, hardworking and dependable with a positive disposition. I am an excellent negotiator and feel proud in achieving a result satisfactory to both parties.

I’m a great listener and capable of looking out of the square, so to speak, to achieve your dreams. My experience in dairy farming, which I did for a number of years in my younger days gives me a great understanding of what can be achieved from lifestyle blocks and my residential knowledge is also exceptional.

You can have confidence in my abilities as I have sold well over $140 million worth of real estate.

At Harcourts Cooper & Co, we believe in people first, doing the right thing, being courageous and above all, enjoying what we do. Harcourts Albany is here to help.

My friendly non pressure approach will make you feel right at home when making one of the most important decisions concerning your home.

So, if you're ready to sell or buy, give me a call, you'll be glad you did. 021 434 917

"Nigel thankyou for your calm, optimistic approach to Real Estate and your friendly nature during what has been a very trying time for all concerned. We really appreciate all your efforts through a difficult time and wish you all the best. "
Les & June
"Nigel has just sold our small lifestyle block in Redvale. He has been totally dedicated to the sale in a very weak real estate market but remained convinced it would sell, persevering long after I decided it was pointless, amazing. He comes with long term experience as an agent, history of being a farmer too, heaps of knowledge. Nigel is lovely to work with, very considerate and honest, a nice gentleman to have as an agent. Thankyou for all your work, Nigel."
Julie
"5 star - lovely to work with this helpful and reliable person. Nigel Smith is a reliable and helpful agent with empathy for the customer, I purchased a lovely lifestyle via his patient and help."
Li Min
"Thankyou Nigel I am delighted with news of the sale of Oasis, my property in Albany Heights. It has not been as straight forward as I had hoped but that has let me see your skills in working through challenging times with a positive attitude and a quiet calm that kept the aim in sight and a hope fora positive outcome. Thanks for your wisdom and experience in this sale. You have a quiet, dignified approach to the challenges of the times we are in. I have been impressed and encouraged in the way you let the property sell itself by giving those interested in it the time to enjoy it and see its potential. And it has been good for me, with a lot hanging on a sale, to be encouraged to stay with the process and watch it unfold in the way it has. Settlement date is June 10th and then I move to Settlers. So, thankyou."
Andrew Dunn
"Nigel was incredible in supporting my parents through their first house sale in 30 something years. He talked them through the process and made sure they understood each step. Thanks for all your efforts Nigel! Thanks."
Claire Jensen
"It was a long road and we were ready to give up after 2 auctions and 2 lock downs, but Nigel said, "stick in there it will happen" and it did! Nigel is always cool and calm, not too pushy and always happy to take a call or re-arrange an appointment to work for everyone. Nigel stuck with us for the long hall and we are now excited to be moving into our new home. We would highly recommend Nigel if you are looking to buy or sell, we have dealt with him on both sides of the process. We are pleased with the result and grateful to have worked with Nigel." (Sold 4 Rock Isle Rd, Torbay & purchased at Stillwater)"
Olivia Irvine & Aaron Happy
"Nigel Smith of Cooper& Co Real Estate has recently sold our property in Dairy Flat, Albany. From the initial listing of the property, I found Nigel very helpful with his marketing suggestions At no time did he become a "pushy" salesman but always treated us with the greatest respect. He conducted the actual sales transaction in a thoroughly professional manner. I would not hesitate to recommend Nigel to anyone who is considering either buying or selling their property."
Richard Jones
"I just wanted to thank you both again for the excellent sales management and marketing of our property at 136 Foley Quarry Road. To sell our property at a price we are happy with in such a short time and a difficult market is really impressive. You maintained good communication throughout the sales process and your marketing was second to none. Fiona and I are really stoked with the result and very happy that we chose Harcourts and your two good selves in particular to represent our interests. I would have no hesitation in recommending your services to anyone thinking of selling, we are happy customers!"
Pat & Fiona
"My husband and I spend over 2 years looking for dairy farms around the county, in both the North and South Islands without too much success. After leaving information of our requirements with various agents, Nigel Smith from Harcourts was the only agent who took up the challenge, which lasted another two years. During this time we changed our plans to go dairy farming but weren't sure what to do. Nigel was very patient and understanding, making suggestions such as chicken farming and orchid growing. He not only showed us places in Taranaki but took us to Whangarei, Tauranga and Rotorua. I highly comment him on his extremely safe driving and enjoyed his company and positive cherry manor and sense of humour. We are grateful for the time and effort he put into helping us find our property which we are extremely happy with. He still pop in to say hello when he's in our area which is always welcomed. We wish him all the very best in the future and hope our friendship will continue. Our kindest regards and many thanks to you Nigel."
Donna & Royden Hancock
"I feel that Nigel Smith's National and International contacts as well as his expertise were significant factors in achieving a premium price for my property in Maungatautari Road, Cambridge. Nigel was also great to work with as he has a very honest and professional manner."
Wayne Keller
"We were delighted when Nigel Smith, working for Harcourts, sold our farm. We were even more impressed with his enthusiastic determination to ensure a sale of a property that was not easy to sell, even on a buoyant property maeket. His bright friendly manner, even under periods of stress from working long hours, made it a pleasure to do business with him. Because of his positive attitude, we were completely confident in giving him sole agency."
Ian & Lee Wynne-Jones
"Nigel Smith employed by Harcourts worked for us in obtaining and selling our farm 1994. He was very efficient and pleasant to work with. He always rang before bringing prospective buyers to view the property. Nigel was prepared to work in with other agents in other areas and from other company's. Nigel obtained information on farms out of Taranaki before we went to view them so we had time to look it over and discuss it. Well we certainly have no hesitate in working with Nigel or Harcourts again."
Peter & Joanne George
"I wish to complement Harcourts on the outstanding service we received from one of your rural team, namely Nigel Smith. Initially the task was daunting, involving the sale & purchase of two farms. Negotiations had to be handled in a discreet manner, we my elderly mother needed a stable and stress free environment. Nigel is intuitive and senses the needs of a particular case. What took me by surprise is that Nigel is not an old fashioned rural estate agent, who sticks to his particular sales territory (Taranaki). Nigel sales territory encompasses New Zealand both North & South Islands. "
Derek Hanson (Staff at Harcourts)
"I have known Nigel for a number of years now mainly through Nigel's involvement in Real Estate. I have found Nigel to be totally dedicated to his work. He has shown a lot of professionalism in this field very honest, which is hard to find with some Real Estate agents. Nigel has a very good rapport with farmers, something which does Nigel credit. I am sure whichever avenue he takes in his life, Nigel will succeed."
Brian Payne
"Just a note to thank you sincerely for all your input in bringing the sale of "Romarnie" to a successful conclusion. We appreciate the fact that with your video and your great P.R. work in N.Z. together with Andrew's professional salesmanship and patience we are now able to move into retirement happily. We hope that everything goes really well for Rose and John and that their investment proves to be a great success. Please call in and see us if you are over anytime Nigel and we will certainly contact you when we visit New Zealand. "
Bevis & Gwen
"Now that we have settled into our new home we wanted to drop you a line to say thank you. As you may remember at the outset we reviewed several agencies and agents before deciding who we wanted to handle our sale at Coatesville. As the property was different and therefore had appeal to a limited market we wanted to be sure we chose someone who would be as enthusiastic as we were about it. We have to say we feel we made the right choice with you. You never lost the belief that you would find us the right buyer and continued to do all you could to find them even after we had a conditional offer. Naturally we were delighted when you got us a better cash deal that enabled us to stop biting our nails and get on with purchasing this place. We love out new home and are very appreciative of the part you played in getting us here. We hope business continues to flourish for you."
Pam & John Morris
"This is to let you know what wonderful service Nigel Smith has provided to me recently. As a potential purchaser of property, I contacted Nigel to find out what was available. He took me out to view properties on two separate occasions, gave me many hours of his time and was totally reliable in calling me and keeping in touch. I found Nigel extremely pleasant to deal with, very open, helpful and giving. It was clear that he enjoyed good relationships with his vendors, too. He gives the impression of genuinely caring about people, not only wanting to make a sale at all costs. Unfortunately for him (fortunately for me) I have found a property through an agent from another company, so will not be giving Nigel my business on this occasion. However, I was so impressed with his service that I wanted to record this. I would recommend Nigel to any purchaser as an agent to help them find a suitable property; also to any vendor. It has been my experience that Nigel will work hard for you, will be committed and go the extra mile to find the right match between vendor and purchaser, whilst not being overbearing or pushy. I have found him a good man to deal with. I thank Nigel and wish him every success."
