A Little About Us
YOU. Realty was founded in 2015 right here in Stoke. After over a decade of working for big agencies, winning industry awards and running a franchise, Nikki learnt first hand how the traditional model works, and who it really works for.
That’s why we started YOU. Realty with the simple belief: real estate should be about you, not us.
We’re a tight-knit team with over 30 years of combined experience, including time in corporate real estate. Each of us brings different strengths, but we share one mission, creating a real estate experience that puts you first.
We stay small by choice, which means no head office to fund, no franchise fees eating into our budget. That saving goes straight back to you. You get top-tier service without the inflated costs.
You get our full attention, direct communication, and a team that’s genuinely invested in your outcome.
When you work with YOU. Realty, it’s your home, your investment, your future. We’re here to make sure it’s handled with the care it deserves.

“We had such a fantastic experience with You Realty, Nikki and Seamus. As first-time home buyers, we were understandably nervous and had a lot of questions, but they guided us through every step of the process and made everything feel so much easier.

As first-time home buyers, we were understandably nervous and had a lot of questions, but they guided us through every step of the process and made everything feel so much easier. They were incredibly helpful, approachable and supportive from start to finish. They even recommended an amazing lawyer who was fantastic and made the legal side of things so straightforward. The whole sale went smoothly and we couldn't be happier with the experience. We would highly recommend Nikki and Seamus of You Realty to anyone looking to buy a home - especially other first-time buyers. We really appreciated having such knowledgeable and supportive people helping us along the way. Forever grateful. Lafras and Tania Pietersen :)”
“To say Nikki is worth her weight in gold would be an understatement. Not only is Nikki deeply passionate about her work, but she also brings a wealth of experience, skill, and industry knowledge that delivers truly exceptional results. From our very first meeting with YOU Realty, we knew we wanted to work with Nikki and Seamus, and felt…To say Nikki is worth her weight in gold would be an understatement. Not only is Nikki deeply passionate about her work, but she also brings a wealth of experience, skill, and industry knowledge that delivers truly exceptional results. From our very first meeting with YOU Realty, we knew we wanted to work with Nikki and Seamus, and felt confident we were in safe hands throughout what can often be a daunting process. Our family’s needs were treated as more than just a transaction — it felt genuinely personal. Nikki was fully invested, not only in achieving a sale that exceeded our expectations, but also in supporting and guiding us through the purchase of our new home (even though it was listed with another agent!). We are incredibly grateful for Nikki’s dedication and the outstanding service we received. We would 100% recommend Nikki and the team at YOU Realty to anyone looking to sell their property.”
“It’s our first time buying a house, we didn’t have a clue what we should do. It took us two months to find the house that was marketed by Cleo from YOU.Realty. Cleo is very patient with us by helping us through the purchasing process and her prompt responses also make the whole experience stress-free. We’ve met many different agents in the last…It’s our first time buying a house, we didn’t have a clue what we should do. It took us two months to find the house that was marketed by Cleo from YOU.Realty. Cleo is very patient with us by helping us through the purchasing process and her prompt responses also make the whole experience stress-free. We’ve met many different agents in the last two months, and I would say Cleo and Nikki are very different from the crowd, what’s the word for it? Mmm they make it feel very personal 😊”
“Cannot rate Nikki and Seamus highly enough, they were great to deal with throughout the whole process of selling our house. Very Professional, cost effective and communicated well to keep us up to date every step of the way. Not too mention just lovely people! Why pay more! ❤️”
“Nikki is hands down the best Real Estate Agent I have ever dealt with. She is knowledgeable, honest and actually cares, even about the buyer - a huge change from most of the agents I have bought and sold through. I definitely recommend her if you are selling or buying a house.”
“Having sold quite a few houses in our lifetime, my wife Theresa and I employed Nikki and Seamus to market our house for sale. In a difficult real estate market, Nikki and Seamus took the bull by the horns. Their confidence and charisma Shon through.

In a difficult real estate market, Nikki and Seamus took the bull by the horns. Their confidence and charisma Shon through. We found them to be very professional, always working with us in the endeavour of the sale of our house. Never before have we experienced Real Estate agents that communicate so well, they even took our calls whilst they were on holiday in Perth, unbelievable. It wasn't just their technical expertise in these matters, but they're genuine passion for the job as well. You can have full confidence that Nicki and Seamus will do the very best for you in trying to sell your house, and we recommend them to anybody anywhere. It's also very satisfying when the deal is done that you pay a fraction of historical Real Estate charges, so good. Excellence personified, ring them now!!!!! No free steak knives.”
“Working with Nikki and Seamus was like having the ultimate real estate dream team in our corner. They are a true power couple, each bringing their own strengths but completely in sync when it comes to communication and negotiation.

They are a true power couple, each bringing their own strengths but completely in sync when it comes to communication and negotiation. Their friendly, down-to-earth nature immediately put us at ease, and we felt genuinely supported from start to finish. They’ve got two massive fans in our children, who will be sad to no longer see them weekly! If you’re looking for agents who work hard, know the market inside and out, and truly have your back, Nikki and Seamus are the team to call. We couldn’t recommend them more!”
“A delight to have had Nikki and Seamus market and sell our house. They had just sold the property opposite us when we approached them. Their advice on preparing for Photography and Open Homes was invaluable. Nikkis attention to detail and industry knowledge is second to none. With prior commitments away from Nelson looming, we knew we were leaving…A delight to have had Nikki and Seamus market and sell our house. They had just sold the property opposite us when we approached them. Their advice on preparing for Photography and Open Homes was invaluable. Nikkis attention to detail and industry knowledge is second to none. With prior commitments away from Nelson looming, we knew we were leaving our property in trusted hands. The low Commission was a bonus. Thank you so much.”
