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.

Happily Recommend

Gavin and Bel were organised and easy to deal with from start to finish when they sold our Hāwea section. They kept everything on track and made the whole process simple for us working from a distance. We'd happily recommend them!

Approachable and Personable

Gavin and Bel worked hard to sell my property in a difficult market. Throughout I found them to be approachable and personable and people I could have an honest conversation with. They retained a positive approach and outlook despite slow market conditions - that positivity was projected to interested parties and that ultimately paid off by securing a sale. There's a reason they are consistently top performers in the area.
