Passionate about the fabulous sunny Tasman region, promoting and selling real estate in my backyard is an absolute pleasure.  The thrill that is received from matching people with the most desirable property and see them move into the district and embrace all that Tasman offers, or having locals relocate because they don’t want to shift away from the amazing beauty of Tasman, is a most satisfying and rewarding experience.

I have successfully been involved in the real estate business in and around Motueka for 28 years during which time there have been many exciting changes and as a result my knowledge of the business continues to expand. Over the past ten years I have been with Bayleys which is extremely satisfying and rewarding.  Working for a family based company that offers incredible depth of support and innovative marketing skills, combined with my team of dedicated people working alongside me, makes every day enjoyable.  Our immediate group of Sandra Goodman, working in sales, and our pocket rocket PA Anna-May Martin, create a formidable, personable team who will listen to your needs and work in your best interest.

Marketing predominantly residential and lifestyle property from the coast to the hills and covering the entire spectrum of price ranges, provides the opportunity to market a wide variety of properties – all with their own special features and attributes.

Prior to entering the real estate industry I have owned and operated several successful businesses and also worked within the accounting field.  The knowledge acquired during these earlier years has been extremely useful, particularly as they all revolve around working with people, which is an aspect I thrive on.

For many years I have been in the top 5% of Bayleys sales people and held the No 1 spot nationally for the volume of residential sales for two consecutive years.  This level of success reflects the growth and number of sales that Motueka generates – pretty amazing results for a town with a population of approximately 12,000.
