About Andy Stretton
Born and raised in Zimbabwe, Andy completed his conscription in the Police Force, before moving to South Africa. Following tertiary studies, he embarked on a career in the Pulp and Paper Industry, which brought him across to New Zealand in 2001.
Towards the end of 2015, Andy decided to leave the Pulp and Paper Industry and embark on a career in the Real Estate Industry and thoroughly enjoys this change of direction.

Andy believes a strong value set, built around principles of trust, integrity, respect and honesty, is vital for the service industry, to building rapport with clients, being it vendors or purchasers and helping them achieve their dreams. The home is a long term investment, something you will love and enjoy for years, so his goal will be getting the value you deserve to meet those needs and within your budget.
Passionate about getting involved in helping the community, Andy is a member of the Eastern Bay Villages, which focusses on reducing vulnerability and the loneliness of seniors in the community.

Testimonials
Exceptional Agent!
Andy always puts his client's best interests first and is one of the most ethical and honest people I know. Andy went above and beyond communicating in a caring way with the tenant and helping the tenant to make the property presentable for each viewing. He did open homes week after week, marketing and advertised our rental property very well over the period of it being on the market. We received weekly calls and emails with property viewings, progress and comparisons. We absolutely highly recommend Andy Stretton as an agent, whether selling or buying. His service was exceptional.-
Excellent communicator
As selling a home is not something that happens often one needs clear guidance. Andrew very ably and efficiently guided us through the process very professionally and kept us as the client extremely well informed throughout the whole process.-
Excellent
We have both sold & bought residential properties in Whakatane with Andy as our agent. We have valued Andy’s knowledge and experience in the local market providing us with fair and sensible valuations. Andy kept us informed of progress and processes plus communication with all parties involved. We can’t speak highly enough of Andy and would recommend him to any prospective buyers or sellers.-
Definitely an Excellent Agent
Andy has been an excellent Agent for us and has shown the skills, character and professionalism with the selling of our beautiful big home that we will sadly miss. In such a very tough season of not many buyers putting their hands up Andy just kept showing up and getting the house over the line. I would be very glad to encourage sellers in the market to get in contact with him and I thank him for his special touch. But finally I would like to thank my Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ for his blessings over this journey and I pray for the very best over Andy and his team thank you.-
