Geraldine Hermens

Thirty-two years in Dunedin real estate, and Geraldine still approaches every property listing the same way she did on day one - with genuine care for the people on the other side of the deal.
Alongside Peter, Amelia and the wider team at The Hermens Group | LJ Hooker Dunedin, she's built a reputation on doing the fundamentals well: clear communication, sharp negotiation, and a calm head when things get stressful, because for most clients, selling their home can be overwhelming. That combination has made her one of the most sought-after advisers in the region, and it shows in the results: multiple years as LJ Hooker Dunedin's No.1 salesperson, and New Zealand's top auction marketer since 2014.
What sets Geraldine apart isn't just the numbers, though there are plenty of those. It's a straightforward belief that real estate should be handled with the same rigour and respect regardless of the property's size or price point - and a team around her that shares it.
