Century 21 New Zealand has announced its real estate winners for the last quarter of 2019, which finished up
particularly strongly for key offices in Waikato, Central Wellington, and East Auckland.
“Te Awamutu had a great fourth quarter with local real estate legend Gaile Para of Gadsby Realty taking out the Gold
