Lorraine began selling Real Estate in Lower Hutt in the late 1980’s after a 15 year career with the Bank of New Zealand. In 1990 she completed the qualification which enabled her to operate her own Real Estate Company and up until March 2020 she has been the Director of Selig Real Estate Ltd and Manager of the Lower Hutt office.

Although Lorraine enjoys management responsibilities she feels her best qualities are her people skills. Therefore, in March 2020 she decided to close Selig Real Estate and choose to join the Lower Hutt Harcourts Team to concentrate on her big love—selling Residential Real Estate.

Both Lorraine and Barry are active members of Rotary Hutt Valley, in fact they have both been made Paul Harris Fellows, Rotary’s highest award for service to Rotary and the community. In 2016, Lorraine was further granted Rotary’s prestigious Sapphire Pin.
