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.

Great communication, well organised and a delight to work with

Gretchen and team are well organised and clearly lay out the plan from the beginning of the campaign. They continue to keep you well informed of progress through reports and regular verbal updates. I found Gretchen to be super responsive and a delight to work with. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an agent partner. She’s one of the top agents for a reason.
