About Dorene

Hardworking, trustworthy and genuine are just threequalities you can expect from me. 

I’ve been enthralled with all things realestate ever since I can remember. From dreaming of manipulating floor plans inmy playhouse while I was growing up, to what some would call an obsession withhome reno and property tv shows. I have a passion for making a house a home. Myhusband, Steve and I have bought and sold several properties over the years,taking time to renovate, reinvent each one and taking another step on theproperty ladder as we went. With my passion, I have walked along side othersdreaming of home ownership, providing encouragement and advice on how toachieve these goals – I am a keen problem solver who is always thinking outsidethe box.

Relatively new to the area, Steve and I moved to Turangi in2017 after initially just looking for a ‘holiday home’ in the area. After aweekend of house hunting, on the drive home, we decided we would sell upeverything in Hawkes Bay and move to Turangi! Although the idea seemed wild atthe time, the attractiveness of the area won over our hearts. We have spent thebetter part of 5 years taking our ‘diamond in-the-rough' house and turning itinto one of the nicest homes on our street. Our love of the area we now callhome was further cemented while I worked at the local information centregaining local knowledge and serving visitors and locals alike. 

When I am not working, I probably have some project on thego. You may find me running or walking the local trails with Poppy (our dog),training with the local Boxfit group or just spending time with family. Anentrepreneur at heart, I successfully ran a direct sales business for over 11years and earned top awards year after year while my children were young. Isupport my husband Steve in his bespoke transport business that we createdtogether, and I also encourage him in his role as a volunteer firefighter forthe local brigade. With a background in hospitality and a love of travel, wealso enjoy hosting visitors from around the world in our home. 

In recent years my interest in real estate expanded when Itook a role as an office manager in a busy Turangi real estate office. I wasimmediately drawn to the process of buying and selling homes from anadministrative perspective with tasks like scriptwriting, photography andmarketing further boosting my enthusiasm and energizing my drive to pursue realestate sales as a career. I am enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the realestate process and I have a passion for helping people. If you are looking fora fresh perspective, straight-forward thinking and commitment you need look nofurther. Call me today for a free appraisal or simply to talk strategy. Whetheryou are buying or selling I am here to help.
