About Jacqueline
My journey into real estate is built on decades of travel and industry experience. At just 22, I took a bold leap and launched my own cruise wholesale business. Over the next 25 years, I built a remarkable career in marketing and events within the travel sector. I was fortunate to hold influential roles across several renowned brands and collaborate with major international cruise lines, helping drive the explosive growth of the cruise industry. My work also brought me into the public eye, with regular TV and radio appearances over 15 years. Along the way, I received numerous marketing awards and was honoured with induction into the Cruise Lines International Hall of Fame. In 2020, I decided to chart a new course and enter real estate—a field that has always been close to my heart, given my family’s strong background in building, property development, and real estate. The transition felt natural, almost as if it were in my DNA. I pride myself on my calm and patient approach, and my ability to truly understand each client’s unique needs. This has allowed me to build a loyal following, with testimonials consistently reflecting the same sentiment: my dedication and service are unparalleled. I credit much of my success in real estate to the customer service skills I honed during my years in the travel industry, and I continue to draw on them every day. If you’re looking for a real estate professional who listens, understands, and delivers results, I would love to connect with you. Let’s work together to make your property goals a reality.

About Mark
With nearly two decades immersed in the dynamic world of real estate at Barfoot & Thompson, I've embraced every twist and turn, cherishing each day's new experiences. Guiding clients through their real estate journeys has been a privilege, and the trust I've built within this space forms the bedrock of my professional satisfaction. Throughout my tenure, I've cultivated a diverse network of relationships, rooted in trust and mutual respect, alongside my dedicated team of 17 years. At Barfoot & Thompson, we thrive in an environment that champions continuous learning and empowers driven individuals to achieve their goals. While achieving many sales records has been gratifying, it's the enduring loyalty of repeat clients that truly means the most to myself and my team. Before transitioning to sales, what feels a lifetime ago, I honed my skills in the rental division, gaining invaluable insights into property management - an experience that instilled a lasting respect for those in this vital sector of the industry. Prior to my real estate journey, I embarked on an exhilarating adventure in the active travel industry, traversing the globe with my wife. This unconventional chapter not only fuelled our sense of adventure but also deepened my understanding of human psychology and the paramount importance of stellar customer service - a lesson that resonates in every facet of my professional endeavours. Today, I bring this rich tapestry of experiences to my role in Tauranga, where my dedication to client satisfaction and unwavering commitment to personal and professional growth continue to drive me forward. https://www.facebook.com/Markvanettenre https://www.instagram.com/markvanetten_realestate #3 Sales Team, Eastern Beaches Region, to end March 2024 #10 Sales Team, to end March 2024 #3 Sales Team, Eastern Beaches Region, 6 months ending September 2023 #8 Sales Team Overall, 6 months ending September 2022 #2 Sales Team, Eastern Beaches Region, 6 months ending September 2022 #3 Sales Team, Eastern Beaches, 6 months ending September 2021 #2 Sales Team, Eastern Beaches, to end March 2021 #4 Sales Partnership, Eastern Beaches, to end March 2018 #2= Individual Salesperson, Eastern Beaches, to end March 2017 Top Salesperson, Beachlands Branch, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009

My approach is centred on people. I work closely with buyers and sellers to create seamless, results driven transactions, ensuring every client receives outstanding service throughout the process.

Compassionate, knowledgeable and very efficient agent

This is the 2nd time I have employed Jacqueline to sell a property of mine and I would have no hesitation to seek her assistance again should the occasion arise. Jacqueline is professional in all respects. She ensures she knows her product inside and out, is efficient in all aspects of the role from listing the property, preparing, arranging advertising and signage and showing the property whenever can. She responds promptly to all communications and goes the full length to achieve the maximum result for her clients.
