Didi Skinner
Didi is the proud owner of Propertyscouts Whangarei. She has a background in conservation and project management and for 10 years managed a local trust in Whangarei.
"My husband, Pete, and I was looking at the management of our own property, trying to calculate the risk of rental income vs mortgage payments and meeting the healthy homes standards. Then a friend commented that it is always wiser leaving property management to a professional. I asked around and heard Propertyscouts guarantees the rent. The Propertyscouts systems impressed me so much, I bought my own franchise! Now I love sharing this amazing system with my fellow investors in Whangarei."
Didi is passionate about the community, investment and the sanctity of family.
