A proud Tauranga local since her early teens, Kirt Richards brings over 30 years of experience in media, sales, and real estate marketing to the Bayleys Tauranga team, underpinned by an early foundation in the legal profession, specialising in conveyancing and estates.
Recognised as a consistent high achiever, her success stems from a fresh, strategic, and bespoke approach to every property she represents. Kirt knows how to connect homes with the right audience - and get results.
What sets Kirt apart isn’t just experience - it’s her contagious energy, unwavering positivity, and people-first philosophy. She puts communication at the heart of everything she does, ensuring her clients feel informed, supported, and confident every step of the way. It’s why she lives by the mantra:
“Communication is key.”
Whether you're stepping onto the property ladder, upsizing, investing, or embracing a new chapter as an empty nester, Kirt has been there, and she knows how to guide the journey with empathy, insight, and ease.
In her downtime, Kirt is an “active relaxer” - officiating the occasional wedding as a celebrant, walking her dogs, working out, or simply enjoying outdoor adventures with her husband Mark and adult kids.
It is with our sincerest thanks and gratitude that we provide this testimonial for Kirt. Kirt's kindness, empathy and professionalism were a welcomed support to our family as we navigated the sale of our cherished family home. It was an emotional journey for us all; however, Kirt's generosity with both her time and expertise enabled us to achieve a positive outcome for all parties involved. We would highly recommend engaging Kirt for her real estate services. Her communication, knowledge, and utmost professionalism made the entire experience seamless and reassuring. Thank you for everything, Kirt. We wish you every success moving forward.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Kirt to purchase my home, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, Kirt was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to helping me with my purchase. What really stood out was Kirt's honesty, great communication, her passion in real estate and attention to detail. I always felt that she had my best interests at heart and the vendor's too, and her expertise gave me confidence in every decision I made along the way. Thanks to Kirt, the property went unconditional yesterday. I would highly recommend Kirt to anyone looking to buy or sell property as Kirt goes above and beyond to deliver an outstanding experience.
