“Elaine sold us our Wanaka home over 15 years ago, and during that time we have also become friends. Over the years, she managed every aspect of the property — from property management and maintenance to leasing — so she truly understood both the property and its unique qualities.

Elaine has an exceptional ability to read people. She is personable, transparent, and genuinely collaborative. What we appreciated most was how open she was to ideas and suggestions, working alongside us to create a true win-win outcome for both seller and buyer.

Many agents claim to be the best in the area or highlight franchise awards achieved under team structures. But when you choose Elaine, you work directly with Elaine — and benefit from all the expertise, care, dedication, and integrity she personally brings to the table. That is something truly special.

Thank you, Elaine, for your friendship, hard work, commitment, and professionalism.”

“Elaine understands the local market and the factors that drive it. She stays connected throughout the entire process — even when things take time, as property sales on Great Barrier can often be a slow burn.
Elaine is kind, thoughtful, and brings genuine heart and humanity into what can otherwise feel like a purely transactional process. Her communication, care, and commitment made all the difference.”

“Elaine walked beside us every step of the way through the successful resource consent process for our two-lot subdivision in Queensbury. She carefully selected a grounded buyer who has since become a reliable and helpful neighbour — which has been fantastic.

Following the success of that sale, we purchased a residential section on Infinity Drive through WanakaRealty.NZ with Elaine’s guidance. Together, we made a fantastic purchase decision that has positioned us well for the future.

Elaine also assisted us with comparative building pricing through Jennian Homes during her time as a New Homes Consultant and helped us secure a rental property at 16 Niger Street while we were building. Everything worked seamlessly, with everyone working together toward achieving our long-term property goals.

Elaine is outstanding at offering real estate advice and visionary property strategies that help future-proof your life. She genuinely has your best interests at heart and knows how to bring all the pieces together for a successful outcome.”

“Elaine is a wonderful person who took exceptional care of me throughout the sales process for the Garden Road subdivision on Great Barrier Island.

She successfully sold all seven individually titled residential lots, each positioned within a private native bush setting overlooking Mulberry Grove.

Elaine also went above and beyond by assisting buyers with their preliminary building ideas and helping guide them through the early stages of the process.

Her professionalism, commitment, and genuine care created a very positive experience for everyone involved.”

"Elaine listened to what I was looking for, made great suggestions of which houses fitted that, and then successfully negotiated the sale while I was out of Wanaka."
