Award-winning Katikati real estate salesperson | Residential, lifestyle and auction expertise

Grace Anderson is an award-winning real estate salesperson with Ray White Katikati, helping property owners and buyers across Katikati and the wider Western Bay of Plenty. With more than a decade in real estate, more than 200 properties sold and a longstanding record of local achievement, Grace brings proven sales performance, auction experience, strategic marketing and skilled negotiation to every campaign.

Grace is known for straightforward advice, positive energy and genuine care. She takes time to understand what matters to each client, explains the available options clearly and builds a selling strategy around the property, the likely buyer audience and current market evidence. Her focus is to make the process feel organised and manageable while maintaining momentum, communication and accountability from appraisal through to settlement.

Areas served

Grace works throughout Katikati and surrounding Western Bay of Plenty communities, including nearby residential, lifestyle and coastal locations. Her local experience helps vendors understand the buyers most likely to respond to their property and the factors that influence value, presentation, timing and sale method in the Katikati market.

Property expertise

Grace works with residential homes, lifestyle properties, sections and investment property. She also has experience marketing distinctive rural and horticultural property, working with specialist colleagues where additional expertise is appropriate. Her campaigns are tailored to the individual property rather than relying on a standard formula.

A considered strategy for sellers

A successful sale begins before a property reaches the market. Grace advises owners on preparation, presentation, timing, marketing investment and the most suitable method of sale. Once launched, she concentrates on buyer engagement, useful feedback, regular vendor communication and disciplined follow-up. At the negotiation stage, she combines current evidence with a clear understanding of the vendor’s priorities to protect value and pursue the strongest achievable result.

Auction experience

Grace has developed substantial auction-listing experience during her career. Her recognition includes the 2024 Tremains third-place award for Top Auction Lister, previous EVES Katikati auction recognition and membership of the EVES Golden Hammer Club. At Ray White Katikati, that experience is strengthened by Ray White’s auction network, auctioneers, live auction technology, buyer reach and campaign systems. Grace can explain when auction may be suitable and when another sale method is more appropriate.

Recognition and community involvement

Grace’s career recognition spans sales performance, marketing, auctions, transactions and community contribution. For the financial year ending 31 March 2025, she achieved realestate.co.nz Agents of Excellence Gold status, placing her within the Top 50 from more than 16,000 real estate professionals nationwide. Her other achievements include office sales and listing awards across Bower, Tremains and EVES.

Her connection to Katikati extends beyond property. Through Grace Gives Back, she has contributed thousands of dollars to local and national charities. In 2023, EVES also recognised her positive and proactive contribution to the community.
