Passionate About Property
Having started my career as a property lawyer in 2000, I am passionate about real estate and have a wealth of knowledge and experience in all aspects of property investment and ownership. Prior to my return to real estate in 2018, I re-opened and operated local icon, McCashin’s Brewery, alongside my husband. Since our move to Nelson in 2009, we have welcomed 3 children, 6 chooks, 3 dogs, 6 goats and 3 lambs to the family, while completing 3 renovations, numerous build projects and 3 subdivisions.
My genuine interest and knowledge of the property market and extensive business experience, combined with professional expertise and networks, enables me to add real value when helping clients to sell, redevelop or buy a property. I have a naturally hands-on approach to getting things done and offer creative and out-of-the-square ideas, often based on my own real-world experience.
Give me a call – I’d love to hear from you.
Fantastic service! Emma was great to deal with - she was professional, and communication was great. She made the process of selling extremely simple.

Emma and Dwayne recently sold my late grandmother’s home. As we are not Nelson based, there were a few loose ends that needed tidying up and Emma made this happen for us. Throughout the sale process communication was timely yet concise. I would definitely recommend.
M Swinburn
I have known Emma for over 10 years, and I am continually impressed by the superior service she offers. I'm not surprised she’s forged a very successful partnership with Dwayne as he's every bit as driven. Friendly, professional and timely they genuinely care about both the vendors and purchasers experience. I am more than happy to keep listing our projects with them and I highly recommend this team for anyone wanting an exceptional result.

Emma had excellent market knowledge. She communicated promptly when asked questions and did her best to provide answers, often consulting with other professionals.
L & K Leonard
Emma was great talking with us about everything and figuring out what we might do. She sorted everything from views to offers and the contract kinks then went above and beyond when things went sideways after possession. We will always go to Emma and recommend her to everyone, as you can truly trust her, and it’s rare to find a real estate agent you can truly trust.
M & P McKechie
