A Vision for Wānaka Real Estate

Anneke brings a decade of exceptional real estate experience, with a proven history of success that goes beyond traditional sales. Beginning her career in Invercargill, she made a significant mark on the market by delivering outstanding results through her expertise in marketing, auctions & promising structured processes. Her high standards of service allowed her to build and lead a top-performing team, earning a reputation for being a strategic and client-focused agent.

Driven by a passion to elevate the real estate industry's perception, Anneke sees herself as "a marketer and negotiator who happens to specialize in real estate." This mindset propelled her to become the Managing Director of Ray White Invercargill, where she focused on empowering and mentoring her team. Under her leadership, the business flourished, and she cultivated a high-performance, positive culture—a model she is now bringing to Wānaka.

Anneke's vision is rooted in providing a complete package for agents. She is committed to offering structured training programs and ongoing professional development to help her team master the intricacies of the Wānaka market. She understands that success is a team effort and is dedicated to providing robust administrative and marketing support, freeing up agents to focus on what they do best: sales.

With a Bachelor of Commerce in Marketing and Management from Otago University, Anneke brings knowledge to her role. Alongside her business partners, Duncan and Kelly Good, she is determined to replicate her success in Wānaka, one of New Zealand's most desirable locations. The team is dedicated to staying ahead of the curve, utilizing cutting-edge technology and innovative digital platforms to give their agents a competitive advantage.

While her career ambitions are clear, Anneke's greatest success remains her family. She, her husband Jason, and their three children, Rio, Opi, and Zinzan, share a love for the outdoors, fitness, and property ventures.

Anneke's philosophy is encapsulated in her mantra: "Forever hungry, yet forever humble." She is not just a leader in real estate; she is a visionary dedicated to building a legacy of excellence, empowering her team to achieve their own success in the Wānaka community.
