I've deal with Sharon and her team a couple of dozen times over the last 5 years. As both a vendor and purchaser, and for personal transcations as well as via our commercial endeavours. At the end of the day, there are some simple reasons Sharon is at the top of her game, and I would put that down to balance. There's the balance between profesionalism and being down to earth. There's the balance between knowing when to listen, and when to advise. There's the balance of knowing when to seek my input, and when to just get on with it. There's also a balance to be found between result, and time taken to achieve said result. Sharon and her team understand this balance better than any other in Wanaka. I don't doubt they also adapt the particular balance for individual situations and/or parties. Generally speaking, I'm one to back the "little guy", and to spread work around. I've acted this way with property transactions, motivated to "give someone else a go". But, for me at least, Sharon has set my level of expectations, and I've yet to find someone else in the South Island that comes anywhere close. There's say 100 agents in Wanaka at a guess? And Sharon and her team appear to me to be a third of the market, perhaps more. Proof is in the pudding.

Sharon and her team are the dream team, great communication and professional advice. They went above and beyond doing lots of little extra things to make this such an easy process for us

Very good experience. Really enjoyed Sharon's approach. Very good communication and outcome focused. Exceptional.

Team Donnelly tuned in to our requirements very quickly and were able to assess the best properties available to show us. They were always prompt and responsive with communications giving us assurance that progress was being made.

Sharon and her team very extremely professional and responsive and we were very happy with the service and advice provided.

Showed us only properties which met our criteria and in the right price range. Good fast purchase.

Can’t thank Sharon and her team, enough for assisting us into our first home. They went the extra mile to make us feel comfortable and supported through the entire process. Clear communication from Sharon and her excellent knowledge of the Wanaka market took the stress out of what would normally be a stressful time. Can’t recommend Sharon and her team enough!


Sharon is wonderful to work with. Down to earth, friendly, calming, but also knows her stuff. She made the whole purchase process efficient and easy.

The Donnelly Team is great to work with. Always responsive and helpful. We got to look at a property that fit our requirements before it went to market. We had a short window of opportunity to view houses and Jamie found us just what we were looking for. Having a lot of listings must help.

Loved working with Sharon. Highly recommend. Knows her stuff and makes the whole buying process easy and stress free.
