Local knowledge, concierge service
The Cooper Group is a boutique real estate agency in Nelson, New Zealand, specialising in premium properties across the Nelson and Tasman region. Debbie Cooper-Norriss set up the agency in 2017 and leads it as director and supervising agent, with a select team of sales associates, an office manager and a marketing specialist.
We offer a bespoke service built around each client's property, timeline and goals. Every sale starts with a conversation, followed by an appraisal and a tailored strategy, then styling advice, trade referrals, professional photography, video where it suits and editorial copywriting, through to negotiation and settlement.
Homes can be marketed publicly across New Zealand, to a global audience through Leading Real Estate Companies of the World and Luxury Portfolio International, or privately through our Confidential Collection, presented only to carefully qualified buyers. Our office is at 1/105 Collingwood Street in Nelson.
