Agent Profiles

Commenced in real estate with Westbay in 1980, attaining my AREINZ in 1984 and have been Principal Officer of Westbay since. I am passionate about real estate and with my many years in real estate, I have a huge depth of knowledge of the real estate market in Tauranga. Being a landlord personally, I am able to assist with many aspects of the rental scene.
In my younger years I completed my Queens Scout Award, Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award and have attended Outward Bound. Enjoy a casual game of either tennis or golf. A past member of Tauranga Rotary Club and was on the Board of the Tauranga YMCA. Currently  Chairman of the Waikareao Estuary Care Group.
A keen runner since 1991, I have completed many marathons including a marathon on 7 continents.

I began my real estate career in 1990 with Westbay Real Estate Ltd after a comprehensive building construction background of 22 years.

The transition has been great and I especially enjoy giving my clients and customers sound and practical advice as to their housing requirements.  Value enhancing tips prior to selling can often add 5-10% to the end result.

I participate in and enjoy a wide range of community and sporting activities which includes Lions, tennis, local church, motorcycling and mangrove harvesting.  I have applied a very successful charity promotion from my house sales which has assisted numerous needy, non profit organisations in and around the district.

With the new  Real Estate Act 2008, we are seeing a more professional approach to buying and selling property and ongoing education standards.  This is good for all concerned.

I look forward to assisting my past and future clients with professional and up to day advice and bringing about happy and successful outcomes.

Commenced real estate in 1999 with Westbay and have remained with the company successfully selling since that time. I particularly enjoy the freedom of being a non-franchised environment and the high standard of ethics and integrity which are the hallmark of the company. I enjoy the lifestyle that selling real estate offers and have no doubt I will be active in the industry for many years to come.
Understanding human nature and the needs and requirements of people is a large part of the business and with a background of 25 years in the NZ police, principally as a detective, followed by a period of motelling, I am well equipped to deal with the many and varied situations that arise in dealing with the largest asset most people own. In June 2008 I completed my diploma in real estate and was admitted as an Associate of the Real Estate Institute (AREINZ).  I graduated as the top student in New Zealand gaining an indepth knowledge of real estate law and practices. This knowledge is an invaluable asset to my clients both present and past. 

Real estate is something that I am passionate about and has been my career since 1989. I commenced my real estate career in Auckland, working for Barfoot and Thompson for 10 years.  My goal was to move to the sunny Bay of Plenty and in 2003 my husband and I moved to Mount Maunganui.  Staying in the real estate industry on arrival in the Bay has seen me work for a couple of Mount Maunganui real estate companies.I decided in August 2008, to move my career over the harbour bridge to Tauranga and joined Westbay.
My background is people orientated in nursing, school committees and voluntary work.
I look forward to providing you, the public with my same friendly and professional approach.
Buying or selling I look forward to your call.

A recent addition to the team at Westbay in March 2006, I have enjoyed a diverse range of occupations which include catering, horticulture, hospitality and administration. Having lived in Tauranga for 24 years watching the continual growth of Tauranga, I find the property market fascinating to work in and have great pleasure working for such an experienced team.
