About Sue & Donna – Trusted Hamilton and Waikato Real Estate Specialists
With more than 28 years in the industry, Sue Hall has built a reputation as one of Hamilton and the Waikato’s most trusted and successful real estate professionals. Sue’s career began with Lodge Real Estate in the 1990s, where she was awarded Rookie of the Year in her very first year. She went on to achieve regular recognition in nationwide and regional Top 20 rankings, including the Top 20 nationally with Harcourts NZ during her career. Sue is also a proud recipient of Real Estate Institute of New Zealand (REINZ) awards, recognising her as one of the country’s leading professionals. In 2015, Sue returned to Lodge Real Estate, where she continues to rank as one of the company’s most consistent top performers, achieving number three #3 in 2022 and consistently in the top Five.
