Maggie Dixon-Lester had already been selling real estate for more than 20 years when she and her husband, Graham Lester, decided to setup their own agency. They noticed that a lot of the big real estate offices in Whangarei were just franchises of bigger companies and had lost some of their local touch. Maggie and Graham wanted to celebrate the city and really get involved with the community, in the way only an independent local company can.
Maggie Dixon Real Estate was founded by Maggie and Graham Lester in 2002 and opened officially on the 7th January 2003.
Maggie started her real estate career in Whangarei in 1980, and soon fell in love with the industry and the people. Working within Northland for such a long period of time has given Maggie and Graham an appreciation for both the community spirit of our area, and the pure beauty of the Whangarei landscapes.
Several of the Maggie Dixon Real Estate team have had more than 15 years of experience in real estate, while the company also boasts a number of new recruits, adding enthusiasm and a grasp of modern culture and technology to the mix. This eclectic blend of old and new gives Maggie Dixon Real Estate a wealth of experience to draw upon when working together with you to achieve your desired results.
Maggie Dixon Real Estate was born from the desire to create a purely Whangarei-focused real estate agency. We understand that every city has its own unique culture and people and while the larger corporate franchises are perfect for the larger cities, they can easily lose the ability to be local.
We are also excited about the extra flexibility afforded by an independent, locally-owned and based business. As markets change we wanted to be able to change with them much faster than was possible in a franchise or corporate identity, and we can be very Northland specific in everything we do. Being so proud of being 'Northland', is the reason for us taking on the sole sponsorship of all Northland Secondary and Intermediate School rugby. This is our way of giving something back to 'our' children and Northland as a whole - maybe our contribution will aid another future All Black or two!
Maggie and Graham love what they do and are pleased to have been joined by a talented mix of people: Some with years of experience, and some who are new to the industry, bringing energy and skills that keep the office fresh and innovative.
