Hello, my name is Sharna, and Whakatane is where I call home. Throughout my 16 years of marriage to my Husband Craig, I’ve lived in this community and raised 3 children, all of whom have grown up and loved this region. My family history in Whakatane spans 6 generations so my connection runs deep. And now my personal joy is in having a strong relationship with my 2 grandchildren, also now being raised in this community. I’ve had past experience across numerous industry’s including retail, hospitality, cleaning, caregiving and public transport which has served me well in developing relationships across a wide range of people throughout Whakatane. I feel comfortable in many different and wide ranging scenarios when dealing with peoples needs, and solving their challenges. I’ve always believed I’m an outgoing person who connects well, and love the thought and am excited about how I can apply these skills to Real estate. My Mum always taught me you can’t beat an honest days work and how to treat your peers, so I take pride in meeting people and building meaningful relationships and connections. I take a genuine interest in their life’s journey, what’s important to them, and enjoy being a part of their journey and helping where I can. My focus is on developing life long relationships in real estate, born from being reliable, honest and hard working. Whakatane and the Eastern Bay has given my family and I a wonderful life and continues to do so. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.
