I have worked with Tairua Real Estate Ltd since 2003 and have continued to work in the real estate industry since then. I gained my Branch Manager's License in 2012. Together with my husband Graham Beare and with the Principal Helen Larsen and Marie Osborn we purchased Tairua Real Estate Ltd in February 2015, and joined Harcourts - Tairua Realty Ltd. MREINZ. We have sold the business in June 2017 to Paul Prouse & David Haak and together they have purchased Whangamata, Tairua and Whitianga branches. They have named their company Coromandel Beaches Realty Ltd. They now have purchased Pauanui and Coromandel Branches
Prior to my real estate career, we had a Cabinetmaking business in Hawera, which we owned from 1975 till 2006. I helped Graham in the office and started a Gift Shop adjacent to the Workshop. When we moved up to Tairua in 1998 we transferred the Gift Shop to Tairua and called it"Jen's" and worked in the shop until 2003.
In Hawera we owned a 12 acre Lifestyle Block which we exported asparagus from. On the land we had a large 2 1/2 acre garden which I had open to the public for 8 years in the Taranaki Rhododendron Garden Festival in Hawera, Taranaki. I was treasurer of the Hawera Golf Club for 2 years and my husband Graham was President. My other interests are Fishing, Travelling, Swimming, and Bowls.
We have three children, who are all now married and 5 Grandchildren where they all live in New Plymouth.
My other interests are Fishing, Gardening and Travelling, Swimming, Bowls and Golf.
I have gained my Ruby Pin for Sales and awarded the Bronze award for the months April to June 2017
We’ve lived now 20 years in Tairua and met many wonderful people, in that time. Tairua has so much to offer and we really enjoy working in the Real Estate which is a very exciting career.
