James Faber & Catherine Richardson
Property Brokers Palmerston North

When it comes to real estate, experience matters - but so does having agents who genuinely care. James Faber and Catherine Richardson combine decades of experience, diverse life backgrounds, and an unwavering commitment to delivering outstanding results for their clients across Palmerston North.

Catherine Richardson began her real estate career in 2015 after settling in Palmerston North, bringing with her a truly international perspective. Originally from Hong Kong, Catherine studied in Exeter and spent 10 years living in Wales before making New Zealand home with her kiwi husband. Her passion for people and property quickly saw her build a reputation for exceptional service, professionalism, and results. Catherine has further strengthened her expertise by obtaining her Branch Manager qualification, reflecting her commitment to ongoing professional development and industry excellence. Fluent in both Cantonese and Mandarin, and highly involved with the local Chinese Association, Catherine is passionate about helping people from all walks of life achieve their property goals. Known for her calm, solutions-focused approach, she is exceptionally skilled at navigating complex situations and overcoming challenges to keep deals together and deliver successful outcomes.

James Faber has called Palmerston North home since 2005 and began his real estate career in 2013. Alongside over a decade of hands-on experience as a property investor and developer, James brings a wealth of practical knowledge to every transaction. Before real estate, James served for eight years in the New Zealand Army, where he developed the discipline, resilience, and ability to perform under pressure that now define his approach to real estate. Whether negotiating tough deals, managing high-pressure situations, or helping clients make confident decisions, James is known for his determination, straight-talking advice, and relentless work ethic.

Together, James and Catherine work in true partnership - combining strategic thinking, strong negotiation skills, market knowledge, and genuine care for their clients. Known for going above and beyond, they work around the clock to achieve outstanding results and make every real estate journey as smooth and stress-free as possible. Their dedication has earned them countless glowing reviews, repeat business, and long-term relationships built on trust, communication, and results.

Whether buying, selling, investing, or developing, James and Catherine are committed to helping their clients succeed every step of the way.
