Building on her background in marketing and promotion for the Japanese Tourist Board; Yoshiko commenced business in New Zealand, providing tourism, English language and life consultancy support for the Japanese market. With an increasing demand for real estate investment from her clients, Yoshiko obtained her real estate salesperson’s certificate in 2004 and joined her husband Doug as owners of the Harcourts Mt Eden office. With the advent of the Real Estate Agents Act 2008, Yoshiko’s designation is that of a ‘Licensed Salesperson’ under the Act. In 2011 Yoshiko and Doug returned to full time selling with Harcourts.

Yoshiko sees her role as more that just marketing and selling real-estate, by combining aspects of both roles to support new and established Japanese immigrants as a life coordinator. Yoshiko’s experience in international tourism and management has imbued her with the unique qualities required to bring buyers and sellers together. Her uncompromising dedication to the highest level of service is a hallmark of her character and is evident in everything she does.
