I am proud to be part of the team at Harveys.

With a background in Sales and Marketing, and in recent years managing the Taupo Times,  I understand the importance of marketing in the Real Estate World, and, the difference between what works and what doesn’t.   

Having been associated with Harveys both as a Buyer and a Seller for many years, I have learned that if the 3 “Ps” of Real Estate – Presentation – Promotion – Price are right, then the rest naturally follows.   

My family and I came to Taupo in 1995 to operate a large motel, combining business and family life in a wonderful location beside beautiful Lake Taupo.  We have bought up our three children here and appreciate the great schools and leisure activities available in Taupo.  Being involved with children’s sports over the years I have spent many hours on the sidelines supporting our teams.  

Taupo is my home and I look forward to talking to you about your property and the market place that we live in

In November 2008, I teamed up with Wendy de Haan. Our philosophy was that by working as a team we could offer our clients double the energy and commitment. Our results since then have proven this philosophy - two of us means more time for attention to detail, more creative marketing, better service and communication, and more time to work with buyers and sellers.

A recent testimonial from satisfied clients: “When we first met Wendy deHaan we were impressed by her friendly, yet determined and very professional manner. Thus when we decided to sell our Acacia Bay property, it was an easy choice to engage her as our agent. Wendy and her business partner Andrew gave us great confidence with their approach. They guided us through the various selling and marketing options through to a successful sale. We were always kept well informed and they were mindful of our needs and wishes. They also helped us immensely by arranging maintenance and repair jobs, as the distance we live from Taupo made this difficult for us. The property was sold according to plan at auction with four live bidders, and we were very happy with the price achieved, considering the economic environment. At no time during the process did we feel pressurized or that things were being hyped up in any way. We appreciated their honest and straight forward commonsense approach, and would highly recommend them to anyone considering a real-estate transaction in the Taupo area.” Mike and Denise
