About me

Real estate has been part of my life from a young age, with my father working as an agent through the 60s and 70s. Growing up, our family moved often, and I quickly learned what it truly means to pack up, relocate, and create a new home.

After finishing school, I began my career in mortgage banking before following my passion for learning and establishing a successful Natural Therapies business, which I ran for over 20 years. In 2006, life took a new turn when I remarried and became Managing Director of an Aluminium Joinery business alongside my husband. Working closely with homeowners and local builders during this time reignited my passion for the housing industry.
Community is also close to my heart. I currently serve on the Stratford Community Patrol, and during my years in Ohope, I was proud to be part of the Volunteer Fire Brigade.

These diverse experiences in life and business have given me a deep understanding of people and a genuine desire to support them through one of life’s biggest milestones—selling or buying a home. Having renovated several of my own properties, I bring practical insights and a keen eye for presentation. I am dedicated, passionate, and caring, and I pride myself on going the extra mile to deliver outstanding results while making the process as smooth and stress-free as possible for my clients.

Lizzy and Daniel
We couldn’t have been happier with our experience. We went to multi-offer within just four days of going to market, which was a fantastic result. From start to finish, we were kept in the loop with clear communication about what was happening, when things were happening, and what we could expect throughout the process. We were given great advice on how best to present our property to the market and, importantly, were advised on pricing it correctly so we didn’t end up sitting on the market for months. We really appreciated the honest advice and guidance. The whole process was smooth, well communicated and professional. Thank you for making what can be a stressful process feel so straightforward! Highly recommend.

We found Brenda to be friendly, personable with a down to earth demeanour. She has a positive can do attitude which was evident when she was prepared to drive to New Plymouth if we were going to struggle with sorting out Docusign. We feel that you are fortunate to have her as part of your team.
