Never having set eyes on this land, and lured by her partner's somewhat embellished stories of motorways without traffic jams, endless summers and affordable quarter acres, Vivi came to New Zealand many moons ago after having finished her Master's Degree in journalism and linguistics in the Netherlands. She had worked as a journalist in both the Netherlands and South Africa when she decided to pack up her stuff and fulfill her long held dream of building a life in an other country.


To complement her experience in verbal communication, Vivi broadened her skill set and qualified as a graphic designer at Auckland's University of Technology after which she landed a job as marketing communications specialist for a real estate company in the Ponsonby area, which she held for four years.


Vivi has worked for Custom since day one, and is thrilled to be working for a real estate brand which embodies a fresh philosophy that hinges on a number of her core values: excellence in execution and 100% focus on the customer, who in her case are vendors and buyers as well as the team of sales people.


Working long and hard hours in the hospitality industry from the age of sixteen right through the end of her studies taught Vivi valuable lessons on work ethic, a hands-on approach and the importance of team work and systems in providing outstanding customer service.


Other facts of interest are that she speaks about four languages, the fluency of which is greatly determined by the amount of wine accompanying the conversation.
