Louise McLeavey - Swapping Four Walls for Four Wheels Louise & Kelly, NZ 👯‍♀️ 🌈 couple, our goal..to drive our Van 🚐 Iceberg around the world. https://www.youtube.com/ COME JOIN US !

Starting her Real Estate career in the middle of a recession was certainly a brave thing to do! Couple this with over 30,000 Canterbury Earthquakes and you can certainly see that Louise is a fast paced, highly motivated and success driven agent. No stranger to hard sales, Louise brings 35 years of marketing and negotiation experience to the table. But unlike insurance or time share there is no “ol

d school” selling here. Louise works very hard to get all the information up front through the systems she has in place. This information is then passed onto the prospective purchasers clearly and efficiently so that they can make informed decisions. Buyers want information and they want it FAST! Moving with the times and using the latest technology Louise can provide this information from anywhere, at any time of the day or night. Louise knows what it takes to be at the top of her field, proving herself through awards and accolades including winning the highly contested "Harcourts Canterbury Rising Star of the Year 2010/2011" and writing over 75 Million dollars’ worth of business all over . Louise believes that allowing all agents, from all companies, from day one, to bring their buyers through your property significantly increases your chances of receiving multiple offers and gives you the greatest opportunity to see the very best offers from the market. The same is true for Auction campaigns. Louise actively encourages other agents to send their buyers through her open homes and as a care of duty she provides all information to these buyers as if they are were her own clients.

“I am extremely proud to be a part of the Harcourts Team. We lead the way with cutting edge technology, world class marketing and market share. I personally like to keep up-to-date with technology and social media. and are my personal twitter accounts."

Fifteen years ago, Kelly wrote, designed and placed an advert in the Beckenham Primary school book for us after we won Rising Star of the Year.

A simple message: “Set your goals, work hard, and you can achieve anything you want to.”

Fifteen years later, finding the advert whilst packing up.......those words still ring true — but now, they’ve taken us on a whole new adventure. This time, it’s about the five years of blood, sweat and tears, it has taken to build our dream van (from scratch) to travel the world.

It’s proof that it doesn’t matter how old you are, where you start, or how many times the plan changes — when you set your goals and work hard, you really can achieve anything you want to.

This is our next chapter, Come with us 🌎🚐 Louise and Kelly

Life is short – If there’s something on your heart, go for it ❤️.

Because you really can achieve anything you want to.

FLASHBACK EPISODE 🎬 | Our First Night in the Van!

So many of you have joined us recently as we transition from real estate to full-time van life — thank you for all the love and support! 💛

For anyone who’s curious about how it all began, here’s a look back to when the van finally came together. Upholstery was going in, the mattress arrived, and we were moving out of the garage — a mix of excitement, chaos, and a few tears as we spent our very first night in our tiny home on wheels. 🚌✨

If you’ve been following our story already, you’ll remember this milestone — and if you’re new here, this is a lovely way to catch up on where our van life adventure truly began.

Hi everyone! 👋 It’s Louise (and Kelly!) here — you might remember us from our real estate days, helping you buy and sell property in Christchurch and Canterbury Since 2009 ❤️ (gosh don't the years go by)

Well… things have changed a little! We’ve swapped four walls for four wheels and are now living full-time in our van Iceberg — exploring New Zealand, chasing freedom, and creating our own version of “home.” 🚐

We’ve been sharing our journey on YouTube, and it’s been such an incredible adventure so far. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be posting some of those videos here so if you wanted to, you can come along for the ride — right from the very beginning! 🗺️

Don’t worry if we’re a few stops ahead in real life — this way you’ll see how it all began from renting out our home 🏡and hitting the road.

Thank you all for being such a special part of our story — we wouldn’t be here without you. 💙
We hope you’ll join us for this next chapter!



Have a great week x x
