Gretchen Paape

Residential Sales

Following in the successful real estate footsteps of both her father and grandfather, Gretchen consistently strives to achieve the best outcomes for her vendors and purchasers. Her dedication has earned her the title of #1 Residential Salesperson for Bayleys Havelock North for seven years (2016-2022, 2024) and the Top Overall Salesperson for Bayleys Eastern Realty for five years (2017-2022, 2024). Gretchen is also a multiple-year recipient of the Top 5% Bayleys Salespeople award, as well as being recognised as a Top Achiever, highlighting her sustained excellence and commitment to delivering outstanding results year after year.

Moving from Arrowtown to Hawke's Bay 24 years ago and having been involved in wine marketing and then owning and running a successful clothing business for 10 years, Gretchen decided real estate was her next step. Taking pride in her work is very important to her, and having an experienced team - Erin Lambert as her Sales Associate, Flick Salmon as her Personal Assistant, and Emma Waites as her Administration Assistant - means she can go the extra mile with service, detail, and communication.

Gretchen’s extensive network and database, along with her marketing skills, have seen her achieve exceptional results. Now let Gretchen achieve an exceptional result for you.
