About Shelly

Born and raised in Wellington, I’ve proudly called Hawke’s Bay home since 2005. It’s a region I’ve grown to love for its strong sense of community, relaxed lifestyle, and of course, its beautiful homes. With more than 30 years of experience in Property Law — including 19 years working right here in Hawke’s Bay — I bring a deep understanding of the property process from both a legal and practical perspective. This background allows me to offer my clients a truly comprehensive service, combining professional expertise with genuine care. I’m passionate about helping people achieve their property goals. Whether it’s guiding first-time buyers, supporting families as they upsize or downsize, or assisting investors in building their portfolio, I take pride in making the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. My legal experience means I can not only assist at the front end of your property journey but also help you navigate the post-contract process with confidence and clarity. My approach is grounded in integrity, reliability, and sincerity — values that have always guided both my professional career and personal relationships. Whether you’re buying, selling, or simply exploring your options, I’m here to provide trusted guidance and support every step of the way. Get in touch today — I’d love to help you take your next step in property.

Ten out of Ten

We had a great feeling about Shelly from meeting her at an open home earlier in the year. It was an easy decision to contact her when we decided to sell. Shelly made things easy from day 1. She is relaxed and no pressure but she also knows exactly what she’s doing and gave us great advice. We felt completely at easy heading off on holiday and leaving our open homes in her hands. She was very easy to approach with all our range of question's and always kept us in the loop. It honestly felt like a friend selling our home. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again.

Great work

Shelly did a good job managing the sale of my rental property. She was easy to deal with, kept me informed, and handled everything efficiently. The process went smoothly, and I felt confident things were taken care of.

Great Service and Total Confidence Throughout the Process

I recently purchase a property that Shelly was marketing. From the beginning her communication was incredibly fast and reliable. Shelly made the process smooth and stress-free due to her professionalism, market knowledge and calm guidance. Highly recommend Shelly!

It was the best decision that I made to choose Shelly Rakatau as my agent.

She was so organised and motivated and always went the extra mile. Her communication was excellent throughout the process and she was very dedicated. Shelly and the Property Brokers team sold my house very quickly and the outcome exceeded my expectations. I would recommend Shelly to anyone who is selling their home, she is very knowledgeable and will do everything she can to get a great result for you.
