About Gretchen

Following in the successful real estate footsteps of both her father and grandfather, Gretchen consistently strives to achieve the best outcomes for her vendors and purchasers. Her dedication has earned her the title of #1 Residential Salesperson for Bayleys Havelock North for seven years (2016-2022, 2024) and the Top Overall Salesperson for Bayleys Eastern Realty for five years (2017-2022, 2024). Gretchen is also a multiple-year recipient of the Top 5% Bayleys Salespeople award, as well as being recognised as a Top Achiever, highlighting her sustained excellence and commitment to delivering outstanding results year after year. Moving from Arrowtown to Hawke's Bay 26 years ago and having been involved in wine marketing and then owning and running a successful clothing business for 10 years, Gretchen decided real estate was her next step. Taking pride in her work is very important to her, and having an experienced team - Erin Lambert as her Sales Associate, Flick Salmon and Rachel Willis as her Campaign Managers, and Kelly Simmonds as her Marketing and Digital Content Coordinator - means she can go the extra mile with service, detail, and communication. Gretchen’s extensive network and database, along with her marketing skills, have seen her achieve exceptional results. Now let Gretchen achieve an exceptional result for you.

Dedicated effort in selling by the entire team.

Gretchen is enthusiastic in all her communication. Explained a very sensible marketing strategy and brought about the sale. Her team are very professional and also understand the emotion involved when selling a house.

Worked tirelessly on our behalf.

Worked tirelessly on our behalf.

We always knew our lifestyle property would take a while to sell and Gretchen went above and beyond to get our property in front of potential purchasers. We appreciated the honest feedback and market value - which is exactly where we ended up. Gretchen is the consummate professional, backed by a highly capable team. Attention to detail, excellent communication and superb negotiating skills are the hallmarks of our recent experience. Gretchen has a long-standing reputation as one of NZ's top agents. In my opinion it's well deserved.
