Originally from Auckland, Andrea spent all her childhood holidaying at the family bach at Opito Bay, so Kerikeri has a special place in her heart.
With family now permanently in Opito Bay, Andrea jumped at the chance of her own family living in Kerikeri permanently. So moving from a farm in Hukerenui, down to Alexandra in Central Otago, the family then moved back to Northland in January 2020 just before lockdown!
Being trained and working in the travel industry at the start of her career, Andrea has spent the last 24 years working as a Police Officer in Northland and Central Otago. Communication, relationships, attention to detail and humour are all key personality traits that enable her to excel in her chosen career.
Now with three teenage children attending the local high school and hosting international students, Andrea and her partner Pete keep very busy. During their spare time, it's a tough choice between going fishing in their boat or away in their motorhome to the beautiful Northland beaches.
Moving from New Zealand going abroad, and selling a house remotely can be nerve-wracking, to say the least. But Andrea was more than just another Real Estate Agent. She was a constant support, always there for us. She answered all our questions, made sure we were always up to date, took care of all the paperwork, and negotiated the deal for us. She made us feel like we were more to her than just her clients. Thank you, Andrea, for your great support. With a slow Housing Market at the moment, it took some time for the sales to get through, but Andrea took control of the situation, and solved all the upcoming problems on the way! I’m thankful that I decided to go with Andrea at REAL. Do the same, and you won’t regret it!
Andrea has great market knowledge and can reference many examples when we asked for help. If we had left field questions about a property Andrea would always get back to us promptly. Andrea's opinion mattered to us when we decided on this property. She said it was right for us.
We had a fantastic experience working with Andrea. The sale of our house was fast and stress-free thanks to her professionalism and expertise. She was kind, approachable, and kept us updated with great communication throughout the whole process. Everything was handled smoothly from start to finish – we couldn’t have asked for better service. Highly recommend!
