Since joining RE/Max Leaders Anna has achieved a reputation as an agent who
respects her client's individual needs.
"I have come to learn that no two properties are the same and as such I
tailor each marketing proposal to suit each owner's personal circumstances.
For me, working in real estate is helping my clients into the next phase of
their lives. Due to life circumstances people will always need to buy and
sell houses. With recently selling and purchasing my own properties, I am
able to empathise with the emotional aspect of a sale while at the same time
use my negotiating skills to close the deal and achieve the results people
want".
After consistently outstanding results Anna is proud to be a member of the
RE/MAX Leaders Gold Club, only attained by an elite group of sales agents
who are top performers in their industry.

Formation IVP is the only innovation consultancy of its kind in New Zealand. It was formed to assist businesses to realise their latent innovation, and to harness it for competitive advantage and growth.
The link between innovation, performance growth and healthy organisational culture is critical.
Why are we called ‘Formation’?
Our brand reflects the essence of our work. The Formation name and symbol draw on the analogy of the flocking phenomenon in nature - for example, geese - where collective focus, collaboration, support and dexterity help them achieve levels of performance beyond the scope of individual group members. Successful flocks fly higher, longer and further, with better chances of collective survival.
