Nic grew up on her family farm in Central Hawke’s Bay and whilst this upbringing no-doubt contributed to her love of the outdoors, it was clear early on that her professional career path would take her off the land and into the city. A degree from Lincoln University lead to a stint on the West Coast of the South Island where she discovered a strong interest in marketing and sales. She continued studying, eventually departing the Coast with a Diploma in Marketing, a passion for sales and an aversion to torrential rain.

After spending time abroad over the next few years, Nic returned to Hawke’s Bay where she worked in a variety of sales and marketing roles and married husband of 25 years, Steve, together raising three children now aged 21, 19 & 16.

In 2013, Nic entered the real estate industry as a Sales Associate with Sotheby’s in Hawke’s Bay. Over the following eight years, she established a formidable track record - winning a number of coveted awards and consistently ranking highly among industry peers both locally and on a national level. Nic was inspired by international real estate conferences, always exploring new trends, pushing boundaries with marketing, and striving to deliver better outcomes and service to her clients. In more recent years, she focused this attention on high-value real estate and, until recently, held the record of the highest residential sale price in Hawke’s Bay.

Some years ago, Nic identified Oliver Road - as a unique luxury estate agency with exceptional marketing selling high-end homes in Bay of Plenty. She set her sights on bringing Oliver Road to Hawke’s Bay and is proud to have recently formed this exciting partnership. The pairing of Nic’s highly-personable and trustworthy character with Oliver Road’s truly specialist approach to marketing luxury real estate is already proving to be a perfect match. Sellers of Hawke’s Bay’s most fabulous, high-value homes have waited long enough for an agency to deliver world-class service and superior results, needless to say - Nic Goodman & Oliver Road are here to prove that the wait is over.
