If you are familiar with the Dunedin investment rental market, you will be familiar with Lane & Clayton Sievwright and Aimee Marsh. The Edinburgh investment team are responsible for a large portion of the sales in the North Dunedin and Central City.

Property is in my blood. We grew up with the family always busy with our own rental properties – carrying out maintenance and keeping a close eye on the market.

Thirteen years ago, I made the move into real estate. It wasn’t a hard decision, given my genuine interest in property and the family connection. Prior to becoming a property consultant, I worked in the building and hospitality industries. I also have a diploma in business, majoring in marketing and management. The marketing background, in particular, is something I use every day to help sellers achieve their goals.

While student rental investments are a significant part of our work, a large percentage of our sales are in family homes and inner city rental investment properties, beyond the campus area.

When it comes to selling real estate, my approach is positive, upfront and honest. I listen carefully, so I understand both the buyers’ and sellers’ needs. If I see any potential hiccups, my brain starts ticking for a solution straight away.
