I have called the Eastern Bay home for over 50 years now,

with our boys being raised here.

The Bay certainly has plenty, from a great climate and

lifestyle to a friendly community, gorgeous beaches, bush

walks, and more.

A decision to start a career in real estate at the end of

2003 after owning a business in Kawerau and Whakatane

for many years has seen Michelle win a national and

international franchise’s Client Experience Award and

consistently rank in the top performers of their region

group. She says, “And, after eighteen years in real estate,

I’m still thrilled to be doing what I love!”

The Bay’s community is an exceptional one, and Michelle

helps wherever she can, from Education for Life, Dancing

with the Stars, front of house for the Whakatane

Theatrical Group, Hospice, Sunshine On a Plate, and

supporting local sports teams by supplying shirts as well as

schools where possible.

Now proudly part of the Property Brokers Whakatane

team, Michelle says, “Property Brokers is provincial, and

truly has the heart of the small communities at the

forefront. It’s a business that lives its values, cares for the

community, and gets involved. Just good, passionate

people doing what they love to do, and doing it really

well.”

It’s such a privilege helping families, and first home

buyers find a property that ticks the boxes. In real estate,

you can plan your day, but that could all change in a

matter of minutes; no day is the same. Meeting new

people and families, building lasting relationships and

creating memorable experiences are all part and parcel of

a career in real estate. It’s really special.
