Stratford real estate agent Leigh Commerford has only been on the job for a year, but she can officially say she’s excellent at it.
Leigh, a real estate agent for the Stratford branch of First National Collective, won big at the company’s recent awards.
She was crowned as runner-up Rookieof the Year for First National New Zealand.
“The awards were for all First National Collective agents in the country. I’ve hit the ground running in my first year as a real estate agent and I’m pleased to have placed so high.”
She also earned the title of Rookie of the Year for the Lower North Island.
“This covers Taranaki, Manawatū, Hawke’s Bay and Wellington. Rookie of the Year is open to people who have worked up to two years as a real estate agent.”
Leigh lives in Stratford with her husband Grant and their two kids. She says with her kids starting school in 2021 it was time for her to start a career, and becoming a real estate agent was an easy choice.
“My mum Donna Black is a real estate agent. I was brought up in the Hawera branch of First National Collective.”
