About Lorraine

Lorraine began selling Real Estate in Lower Hutt in the late 1980’s after a career with the Bank of New Zealand. In 1990 she completed the qualifications to enabled her to operate her own Real Estate Company and up until March 2020 she had been Director of Selig Real Estate and Manager of the Lower Hutt office. Although Lorraine enjoys management responsibilities she feels her best qualities are her people skills. Therefore, in March 2020 she decided to close Selig Real Estate and join the Lower Hutt Harcourts Real Estate team to concentrate on her big love – selling Residential Real Estate. In the 45 years Lorraine has lived in Lower Hutt, she has lived in 4 different suburbs, has been involved in many community organisations, and her children attended local schools. Therefore, she has a great appreciation and in-depth knowledge of what the wider Hutt Valley has to offer. Lorraine has been married to Barry, a banker, for 45 years. As Barry has now retired, you will see him helping Lorraine at open homes, and he also assists her with other facets of her business. Both Lorraine and Barry are active members of Rotary Hutt Valley; in fact, they have both been awarded Paul Harris Fellows, Rotary’s highest award for service to Rotary and the community. In 2016, Lorraine was further granted Rotary’s prestigious Sapphire Pin for services to Rotary and the Hutt community, and in June 2025, she had a 2nd Sapphire Pin added to her Paul Harris award, mainly by including Harcourts in the very successful High Tea fundraiser for the Lie Flight Trust. Lorraine’s interest outside real estate revolves around the community and her family and friends, and all the Hutt Valley has to offer. This includes daily swimming in the local pools for exercise and in the summer, swimming in the harbour and sea kayaking. She is an avid reader, and other interests are travel, art history, world history, gardening, and generally enjoying our wonderful outdoors. Lorraine remains passionate about selling Hutt Valley Real Estate. She has sold over $377 million of residential property and is proud of her achievements because of her career choice all those years ago.

Success using a professional in a tough market.

Success using a professional in a tough market.

Lorraine knows Real Estate inside out. We had a great experience working with her when we purchased the property we have just sold, thirty odd years ago, so obviously used her again. She works hard to get the best result - not easy in a difficult sellers market. She communicates really well, and is calm and confident. We definitely recommend her as a top agent.

Above and Beyond Through a Challenging Simultaneous Sale and Purchase

Above and Beyond Through a Challenging Simultaneous Sale and Purchase

Above and Beyond Through a Challenging Simultaneous Sale and Purchase. Lorraine did an outstanding job helping us both purchase a property and sell a property simultaneously, which was a very challenging process. We could not sell one property unless we secured the other, so timing and coordination were critical throughout. To make matters even more stressful, the building inspections on both properties uncovered issues we were completely unaware of. Despite all the obstacles and uncertainty along the way, Lorraine remained calm, professional, and persistent, guiding us through every step of the process. Against all odds, we got there in the end, and we are extremely grateful for Lorraine’s hard work, communication, and determination. We would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling property.

Genuine, Honest and Kind

It has been an absolute pleasure working with Lorraine on the sale of our house. She is incredibly knowledgeable and truly goes above and beyond for her clients. From the very beginning, Lorraine supported us through the clearing and staging process. She provided a network of reliable contacts for cleaning, window washing, and even recommendations for builders and plumbers—all of whom were trustworthy and great value for money. Lorraine has a brilliant eye for color and space; she guided us in staging the home ourselves, suggesting textures and palettes that truly enhanced the property. Throughout the process, she was upfront and honest regarding pricing expectations and worked tirelessly behind the scenes following up with buyers. Despite a falling market, she secured a price we were both very happy with. I highly recommend Lorraine to anyone selling. We will definitely stay in touch and look forward to working with her again for our future purchases and sales.
