Shelley Torr

With over a decade as a beloved local teacher, I’ve built a reputation for empathic, patience, and people-first relationships. Transitioning into real estate, I bring that same trusted presence to help families navigate one of life’s biggest decisions with organisation, and genuine care.

With a strong foundation in education and a heart for helping others, I bring a fresh, relationship-focused approach to real estate. After 11 years as a dedicated primary school teacher, I’m transitioning into Real Estate with the same core values: trust, empathy, and commitment to those I work with. Real estate is in my blood — my mother, Stacey Prince, is a well-known and trusted local agent in Kāpiti. I've grown up immersed in both the property and building industry. That background, combined with my gentle nature, gives me a well-rounded perspective on what makes a property truly feel like home.

About Shelley

Real estate isn’t just about homes for me, it’s about people, relationships, and trust. I bring the same heart, empathy, and attention to detail that made me a valued teacher into my work as a real estate professional. My focus is on listening deeply, communicating clearly, and guiding my clients with patience, care, and confidence.

I’m proud to call Levin home, where I live with my husband and our young family. Over the past six years, we’ve put our own stamp on our home through renovations. I truly understand the emotional investment, excitement, and sometimes stress that comes with buying, selling, or improving a property. I’ve lived these moments, and I bring that understanding to every client I work with.

Real estate also runs in my family. My mother, Stacey Prince, is a trusted local agent in Kāpiti, and I’ve been surrounded by the property industry for as long as I can remember. My father’s experience building homes also gave me an early insight into the value of quality homes and what makes a property truly special. I grew up living and breathing property, and it’s a privilege to now help others navigate this space with confidence.

Outside of real estate, I’m all about family and adventure. You’ll often find me in my gumboots, out exploring the great outdoors, or on hunting and fishing trips with my family. I also have a creative side and love making personalised gifts when I get the chance.

I offer a real estate experience that goes beyond transactions — focused on genuine connection, clear communication, and making the process as simple and stress-free as possible.

If you’re buying your first home, selling a beloved family property, or just exploring your options, I’d love the opportunity to make your next move a great one !
