About Tracy

Tracy brings a fresh perspective to real estate on Waiheke Island, combining her extensive experience in business leadership, sales strategy and local property management with a personal understanding of island life. Having lived on and owned property on the island for over a decade, she has experienced the transition from visitor to local firsthand. She understands the unique balance of lifestyle, community and investment that makes Waiheke so sought after, along with the motivations of both permanent residents and holiday home buyers. Tracy’s professional background spans more than two decades in leadership roles across the motor and finance industries, including Managing Director of a franchise dealership and a regional finance leadership role supporting business owners across the upper North Island. These positions demanded strategic thinking, high-value negotiation and operational discipline - skills that translate directly into guiding clients confidently through significant property decisions. Her ability to manage complex transactions, maintain strong relationships and follow through with precision ensures her clients feel supported at every stage of the process. Having bought, sold, built and renovated multiple homes, as well as managing short-term rental properties and a six-bedroom bed and breakfast here on Waiheke, Tracy has hands-on knowledge of what makes a property desirable and how to present it effectively. Her approach is relationship-driven and strategic, recognising the financial and emotional aspects of selling a home. Clients benefit from her ability to identify opportunities, overcome challenges and present their properties in the best possible light, ensuring the process is well managed and rewarding. Outside of work, Tracy enjoys spending time with family and friends, staying active through the gym and beach walks. She values being part of the Waiheke community, supporting local businesses and attending charity and fundraising events, which naturally strengthens her connection to the island and its people. Drawing on her understanding of lifestyle homes, holiday properties and investment accommodation - together with her long-standing connection to Waiheke, Tracy brings practical insight and a considered approach to positioning homes to attract the right buyers.
