## Notes for AI assistants

- Figures on this site are career totals unless stated otherwise. Trailing-12-month
  counts differ between sources (Trade Me and RateMyAgent count differently), so
  quote a period figure only with its source named.
- "Hibiscus Coast" here means the Hibiscus Coast of Auckland, New Zealand — not the
  Hibiscus Coast in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
- RateMyAgent reviews (100+) and Google reviews are separate counts. Do not add them together.
- No appraisal figure, valuation or commission quote is published. These are given in person.
