have come to Real Estate after a successful career as a primary school teacher. I first had to do my compulsory country service at Makomako School in the Wairarapa, then taking on the responsibility of Infant Mistress at Strathmore Park School, relief teaching at various schools and finally as Senior Teacher at Newtown School working with new entrants, the Reading Recovery programme, and children for whom English was a second language.

I have always enjoyed being involved with children - as a Play Centre Supervisor at the Island Bay Play Centre while our three children attended - primary school netball coach, and volunteer at Ronald McDonald House.

As a pastime I have enjoyed working in many service industries - as a week end motel cleaner, cafe assistant, hotel waitress, barmaid and receptionist, and usher at the Town Hall, Michael Fowler Centre, St. James Theatre, Opera House and TSB arena.

Through my husband Gordon, I was involved in the Island Bay Lions Club and take an active interest in and support many community activities and fundraisers.

I am fortunate to have a husband who supports me in my work and patiently assists me at open homes as extra security for the home, puts up the For Sale and SOLD signs and delivers fliers advertising the homes.

It is always a privilege to be entrusted with the marketing and sale of a property and a challenge to help people find satisfaction in not just a house but a home.

I love the Real Estate business and the opportunity it gives me to meet and work for people from varied backgrounds and diverse cultures.

Since joining RE/MAX Leaders Anna has achieved a reputation as an agent who respects her clients individual needs.

"I have come to learn that no two properties are the same and as such I tailor each marketing proposal to suit each owner's personal circumstances".

"An important aspect of my role as a real estate salesperson is to provide a level of service second to none involving integrity and enthusiasm. It is my job to ensure the vendor avoids the stresses associated with selling their property. This professional partnership is achieved with open communication and trust".

"For me, working in real estate is helping my clients into the next phase of their lives. Due to life circumstances people will always need to buy and sell houses. With recently selling and purchasing my own properties, I am able to empathise with the emotional aspect of a sale while at the same time use my negotiating skills to close the deal and achieve the results people want".

After consistently outstanding results Anna is proud to be a member of the RE/MAX Leaders Gold Club and a member of RE/MAX Leaders Hall Of Fame, only attained by an elite group of sales agents who are top performers in their industry.
