At the recent awards hosted by the company, Leigh emerged as the runner-up for Rookie of the Year among all First National agents in New Zealand.

“The awards encompassed all agents within the First National Collective across the country. I hit the ground running in my first year as a real estate agent, and I am thrilled to have achieved such a high ranking,” she shared.

In addition to this prestigious recognition, Leigh also claimed the title of Rookie of the Year for the Lower North Island, which encompasses Taranaki, Manawatū, Hawke’s Bay, and Wellington. This accolade is open to agents who have been working in the real estate industry for up to two years.

Residing in Stratford with her husband Grant and their two children, Leigh expressed that her decision to embark on a career as a real estate agent was prompted by her children starting school in 2021. Her mother, Donna Black, who works as a real estate agent, had a significant influence on Leigh’s choice of profession, as she grew up in the Hawera branch of First National Collective.
