Bev spent many years working in Europe and Australia before returning to Whitianga to raise a family. Originally from a retail pharmacy background, including the set up and management of a new store, Bev decided it was time to pursue a new endeavor.
Real Estate was the chosen path because of the challenges it presents, and the opportunity to grow your own business. Living in Whitianga for 34 years, and with a wide knowledge of the area, Bev enjoys finding the right match for the right person. She offers an amiable and professional approach to her clients, and it is of the utmost importance for her to offer an exceptionally high standard of service – for both vendors and purchasers alike.
"Being part of the Bayleys team, I am backed by the best possible resources in the industry, with the intimacy of working within a family owned company. I am able to provide the best possible service to all my clients, covering the whole Peninsula, and will always go the extra mile. Some of my listings in the past haven’t always been the “easiest” of properties to sell, but I have always enjoyed the challenge of finding the right buyers."
