Kōwhai Coast Property Management founder Jules Wigley goes the extra mile – both literally and figuratively.
When Wigley and his partner decided to leave Wellington with their son, who was a toddler at the time, they spent five months travelling around the country researching potential locations to move to.
“We basically stayed everywhere in New Zealand – it was such a blast,” he says.
They eventually decided on Rodney “because it ticked all the boxes” and relocated to their new home just outside of Matakana in early 2024.
Even before their road trip, the couple had regularly visited the popular rural town.
“When you live up here, you’re not just paying for the house. You get the beaches and the community.
That’s why we decided to put our roots down.”
Wigley, who was a senior property manager in Wellington for around five years, also goes the extra mile when it comes to his clients – that’s what his new company is all about.
He says he wants to redefine property management in the Warkworth area including Snells Beach, Matakana, Omaha, Puhoi, Wellsford and Leigh.
“Property managers are the middleman between the tenant, landlord and contractors. Most will do some things really well but I want to do all things really well – go above and beyond, so that it’s a more rewarding experience for everyone involved.
“It’s all about customer service,” he adds.
Wigley, who uses a flat fee model, says the positive feedback he gets from his client base means a lot to him.
“There is nothing better than when you have a successful landlord-tenant relationship and our job is helping create those. It’s as much about people management as it is property management.”
