Heather Harrison

As a proud Tauranga local with two years of hands-on experience in property and tenancy management, I’m passionate about supporting both property owners and tenants through a professional, transparent, and people-focused approach. I’ve received multiple 5-star reviews from owners and tenants alike, and was proud to place in the Top 10 of the TPS Masterclass in 2023.

 

Community is at the heart of what I do—I’m an avid dog lover, a supporter of local initiatives, and a former member of the Ready to Rent programme, helping tenants create stable, positive home environments. I see my role as both an agent for our valued investors and an advocate for our amazing tenants, always striving to maintain a respectful balance grounded in integrity and clear communication.

 

Whether you’re growing your property portfolio or seeking a better rental experience, I’m here to help guide your investment and tenancy journey
