Optimism and the pursuit of excellence are hardly abstract ideas for Lorraine.

They are the very things that have shaped her worldview and career and today drive her magnetic presence into Tauranga’s real estate landscape.

Lorraine is something of a multi-hyphenate. She’s an entrepreneur, community advocate, wife, mum, investor and now a high-energy property professional.

To date, her life’s work has been one of admiration and inspiration. She has bought and sold multiple franchises, including Rodney Wayne and Robert Harris, co-founded businesses such as Foot Mechanics and the Whai Basketball Club, and held chairman roles across numerous charity trusts. At the same time, her community involvement has reached deep into the needs of local families, through organisations such as Good Neighbour and Awhina House Women’s Shelter.

It should go without saying that the level of success Lorraine has achieved takes tenacity and, above all else, heart. That same capacity to find opportunities, strategise, and bring the right people together is what she brings when homeowners partner with her.

Having been there herself and helped others along their home-buying journeys, Lorraine understands that selling or buying is one of life’s major turning points. Her infectious positivity and loyalty mean she commits fully to the result, while helping people feel confident and clear about the road ahead.

Charity work in the Bay of Plenty is what ultimately brought Lorraine and the award-winning TNG team together. Tauranga is also where she and her husband, John, have built a life they love, with their three kids being their proudest achievement.
