Monique Elario
Sales Consultant

Buying or selling a home is a significant decision, and I believe people deserve clear, honest, and steady guidance throughout the process.

I take a consultative, well-structured approach to real estate, working closely with clients to help them understand their options, set realistic expectations, and feel confident at every stage without pressure or rush. I value good communication, careful planning, and being someone people can rely on during what is often a big life transition.

Before moving into real estate, I worked in marketing and client strategy, which gives me a strong understanding of how to present and position a property effectively while keeping advice practical and transparent. My focus is always on making the process straightforward and well-managed from start to finish.

Living and working in Kaikōura, I appreciate the lifestyle and sense of community that make this area so special. I enjoy helping local homeowners, families, and lifestyle buyers navigate their next move with clarity and confidence.

I work with a smaller number of clients at a time so I can provide genuine attention, responsiveness, and follow-through. If you’re looking for a professional, considered approach and someone to guide you calmly through the process, I’d be happy to help.

"Their service delivers over and above...

In selling our house not only did Total Realty save us over $40,000 in commission, but the agent's mastery resulted in a perfect home for our happy buyers and a great result for us to move on easily.

Total Realty is a fabulous company, not just the front line staff but the professionals working behind the scenes, to ensure everything is processed accurately and timely.

We have sold with Total Realty four times and their service delivers over and above the service I have ever had from any of the more expensive Real Estate agencies."
