About Gavin
The best real estate partnerships can be born over something as simple as a walk, a coffee, and a quick chat. That’s how the collaboration between Harcourts Wanaka agents Gavin Vize and Bel White began—two people with different backgrounds and skill sets who, just six months into their partnership, are already hitting their stride. What started with shared values and mutual respect has quickly evolved into a dynamic, high-energy team. Gavin and Bel bring complementary strengths to the table, combining decades of professional experience with a genuine, client-first approach that’s already delivering standout results. “Real estate is a people business,” says Gavin. “It often starts with a connection to the brand, but ultimately, it’s about working with people you like and trust—people who care about your goals. When Bel comes on board, it’s like flicking on a turbo switch. She lifts the energy, and things just click.” Bel, who relocated to Wanaka a decade ago and raised her young family here, brings a background in administration and a natural talent for building strong relationships. After a few years travelling with her family and creating unforgettable memories, she returned to Wanaka ready to re-enter the workforce—jumping into real estate with drive, focus, and a strong sense of purpose. Gavin, a qualified accountant with 20 years’ experience in sales and marketing, has a deep understanding of market dynamics and a sharp eye for strategy. He’s called over 400 property auctions across Central Otago and is known for his calm, informed approach and ability to guide clients through every stage of the selling process. He’s also an active member of the Wanaka and Hawea communities, lending his time to charity events, school fundraisers, and local initiatives like the Lake Hawea Fire Brigade and family fishing competitions. Together, Gavin and Bel share a vision built on clear communication, honest advice, and five-star service. “Every client experience matters,” says Bel. “We’re proud of the work we do and the results we’re achieving—and it’s exciting to see that momentum building.” If you’re considering selling, Gavin and Bel would love to help.

Great communication and a great result

Gavin and Bel were fantastic to deal with. They came up with a clear plan to get our property sold quickly and kept us informed every step of the way. Their communication was excellent throughout the process, and Gavin did a great job as auctioneer on the day. We really appreciated their guidance, professionalism, and the great result they achieved for us. We would happily recommend them to others.

Chris went above and beyond what we were expecting while keeping us informed at all times.

We believe Chris's honesty with us and particularly prospective buyers helped keep a large number of buyers interested up to the auction. This in turn drove the auction dynamic towards a favourable outcome for us. Chris also made some suggestions such as carrying out asbestos testing and then completing a building report that turned out to be invaluable tools to be used for the sale of the property. The small things matter. While preparing the property for the first viewing Chris arrived with a lawn edging tool and tidied up the lawn along the footpath. He also arrived a little early before each open home with a leaf blower to have a quick tidy up. Staging the house with large print outs of virtual staging pictures was a fantastic idea and helped prospective buyers visualise what each room could look like. Communication is key and Chris kept us informed throughout the whole process. This kept us relaxed and at ease which was important as we were away on holiday for some of the time during the lead up to the auction.
