Founder

I’m Niven, I founded Neighbour in 2020 to redefine the way we approach moving homes. With a deep passion for real estate and a reputation for innovation, I set out to rewrite the rulebook and build an agency centred around our clients. We’re not your typical estate agency, and the best way to get to know us is to visit us for a coffee and a brownie – stop by and see what makes Neighbour stand out.
