Speaker Series

Global buyers are back and New Zealand is firmly back on the International radar with global capital moving once again into premium property.

• What does increased international buyer activity mean for you and your property?
• What are international buyers looking for?
• Is your property ready?

Join us for an exclusive Speaker Series event hosted by Amanda Evans from New Zealand Sotheby's International Realty North, where industry experts unpack what rising international buyer demand means for vendors holding premium property.

From 6 March, major reforms to New Zealand’s Overseas Investment Act will come into force, easing restrictions for certain foreign investors—most notably holders of the so-called “golden visa.”

Discover what offshore and ultra-high-net-worth buyers are really looking for, how recent ownership rule changes may impact your sale, and why global reach now matters more than ever.

With insights from Principal, Mobile Relocation, Bridget Romanes, whose business is to support high-net-worth migrants relocate to New Zealand. Joined also by Nicola Hoobin, a highly regarded international legal expert bringing a truly global perspective to today’s discussion.  Lisa Connor specialises in Private Wealth Management at JBWere, with extensive experience working with those gaining NZ residency under the New Zealand Government's Investor Pathways including the most recent Active Investor Plus Visa “Balanced” and “Growth” categories. And finally Lewis Vos from Guardian Smith provides insights on NZ monetary policy and what this means with escalating global politics in an election year.

We will end our session with a Q+A discussion revealing just how much international exposure, trusted networks, and global consistency can deliver exceptional results and why timing matters right now.

If you’re considering selling, downsizing, or planning ahead, this is an opportunity to understand how your property can access a genuine global buyer audience.
