Meet the Team

“Stephanie Porowini’s magnetism, motivation and genuine commitment make her an esteemed and highly sought-after agent, who is not only successful but greatly valued in her community.”

Born and raised in Northland, I’ve built my real estate career over more than 12 years, helping people achieve outstanding results. Along the way, I’ve been fortunate to receive a number of industry awards, including being recognised as the Number One Agent for two consecutive years during my time in Australia, as well as earning several top-performing awards here in Whangārei.

In 2021, I achieved a lifelong dream by opening my own branded real estate office in the heart of the Whangārei CBD. Having my own office allows me to provide a personalised experience while offering a convenient location for both buyers and sellers.

When I’m not working with clients, life revolves around my wonderful family. My husband Mark and I are proud parents to five children, with our youngest living with a disability. That journey has inspired my passion for giving back to our community. A percentage of my share from every property I sell is donated to Kind Hands, a respite care cottage that provides a safe, caring home away from home for disabled and medically fragile children.

Real estate is about people first. I believe in building genuine relationships, communicating openly, and guiding my clients with honesty, integrity, and care. Every property and every client is different, which is why I take the time to understand your goals and create a strategy that delivers the best possible outcome. My attention to detail, strong negotiation skills, and commitment to exceptional service mean I’ll be with you every step of the way.

Best results, every time! Small enough to care, experienced enough to know!

My journey with Kind Hands began when my youngest child Shelby was born with a heart condition, which soon revealed down syndrome. We were all living in Australia where I was a licensed, award- earning real estate agent at the time, however we decided to return to New Zealand in order to be closer to our support system and family.

With many surgeries, surprises and emergencies along the way it has been a tough road, but one we wouldn’t change for the world as it has seen us all develop and grow in inspiring and transformational ways.

Kind Hands has been a blessing to our family, providing specialist care, genuine support and consistency in providing a safe, caring environment and respite service that is a home away from home for not only Shelby, but many young children.

With a strong understanding of how challenging it is to have medically fragile and disabled children, I feel the importance of giving back to the community to support other families in need and I donate a portion of every sale I make to the charitable trust that Kind Hands runs alongside.
