The Record Speaks for Itself. Throughout her career — across multiple companies and 14 years — Ronelle Henning has consistently ranked among the top-performing agents on Auckland’s North Shore, earning multi-award recognition for both results and client service. In 2025, she settled the highest residential sale ever recorded in Greenhithe — 20 Oscar Road at $6.6 million. These are not isolated achievements. They are the result of 14 years of disciplined, focused work in one of Auckland’s most competitive markets. Since 2012, Ronelle has settled over $235 million in sales across 177+ transactions, with more than 100 of those in Greenhithe alone. She specialises in premium homes and lifestyle properties across the North Shore — from entry-level opportunities through to prestige waterfront estates — and brings the same level of strategy, rigour and care to every price point. The numbers behind her marketing are equally compelling. Trade Me Property data confirms that in the first 30 days on market, her listings outperform the market average by 109% for listing views, 92% for watchlists, and 57% for enquiries. The first 30 days are when buyer attention peaks and competition is built — and that is exactly when her marketing delivers. Her client results are matched by client satisfaction. Ronelle has earned 67 verified five-star reviews on RateMyAgent, achieving top agent status in Greenhithe status twice, with a large share of her business built on repeat clients and referrals from people who trust her with multiple transactions over time. Ronelle’s approach is strategic, honest and direct. She is known for her disciplined negotiation, her accurate pricing, and her ability to position a property so that the right buyers understand its value immediately. She has particular expertise in navigating complex or challenging situations — where clear thinking and decisive action make the difference between a good result and a great one. Before real estate, Ronelle built an international career as a diplomat, marketing strategist, business owner and published author — with seven books across two languages, one of which went into four editions and reached over 20,000 readers. Her years in diplomacy gave her a rare command of high-stakes negotiation — the ability to read a room, find common ground under pressure, and reach outcomes that serve all parties. Running her own business gave her a practical understanding of risk, timing and decision-making that most agents simply do not have. Those skills translate directly to every listing presentation, every offer, and every negotiation she conducts on behalf of her clients. Ronelle moved from South Africa to New Zealand’s North Shore in 2004 and has called Greenhithe home since 2008 — giving her 17 years of deep roots in the community she sells. She knew these streets, schools and neighbours long before she started selling here. She is fluent in English and Afrikaans and understands French, Flemish and Dutch, For sellers who want elite performance, honest counsel and results that speak for themselves — Ronelle Henning delivers.
