In the year 2000 I started the new millennium with a career change to Real Estate and I have gained a lot of resilience so I can go the extra mile. Service is always my top priority and business gets done with a smile. Just pass me your wish list and I will do my very best for you! I am originally from Holland where I owned a pub/motel and moved to New Zealand where I raised thousands of calves at Onepu, owned two fruit and vegetable shops – one in Kawerau and one in Edgecumbe. I also owned a market garden where I grew strawberries and hydroponic tomatoes, etc at Awakeri. I am loving my job in Real Estate and lead a busy social life meeting lots of new people all the time. Please call me today for all your Real Estate needs.

What Others Say

I recently sold a house in Gate Pa which had been on the market for several months. Thea had called into the house when I was working in the garden. She asked if it would be possible to have a look and left me her card. I found her positive attitude refreshing and gave the house to Harcourts. Thea was totally focused on selling the property and procured an offer within a few weeks. I was grateful for her professional expertise and would be happy to recommend her to would be vendors.

Thea, thank you for all your help. Efficiency and for keeping us “in the loop.”
~Angelo & Sharon

I have recently sold my house via Thea. I was delighted with Thea’s professionalism and her dogmatic determination to sell my house. Before I took Thea on as my appointed Real Estate agent I had at least 3 other agents from other companies view the property. I was greatly impressed with Thea during the following period of indecision on my part as to whether I really did want to sell. She would often pop around to see how things were going….long after the other agents had given up! Hence the reason I decided to go with her when I finally made the decision to sell. I highly recommend Thea and will most certainly use her services again should the need arise.

Thea Straub was like a breath of fresh air. She had a friendly, easy going manner about her, yet was committed, understanding and totally professional. During our negotiations Thea did her utmost to keep us confident, displaying skills many other professionals lack. We have no hesitation in recommending Thea to any prospective vendor or purchaser of property and hope to have the opportunity of availing ourselves of her skills again in the not too distant future.

“We Helen and Siegfried Wieser both feel that we made an excellent decision in deciding to entrust the selling of our house to Thea Straub (and Harcourts). Her initial presentation was attractive and well presented; her manner was at all times friendly, polite, in no way pushy – we appreciated that very much. Furthermore, she was efficient, keeping us thoroughly informed throughout the progress of the sale. It was a pleasure dealing with an agent who is mature, with life experience and an agreeable personality.
~Helen Wieser

“Ken and I would like to thank you for the help and advice that you gave us while we were looking for a new home. We appreciated your friendly and efficient manner and you did not waste our time showing us properties that would not suit. Thank you for also keeping us up to date with any new listings that came up. I am sure that we will be happy in our new home and we wish you well in your career.
~K & K Treloar

Thea answered our questions with a great deal of understanding and was sensitive to our request that we did not want to feel pressured. As well as necessary visits she would ring after open homes to provide up to date information. I appreciated her giving of her time to take me to an auction in order that I might become familiar with proceedings.”

“I wish to convey to you my appreciation of the way my house purchase was handled by Thea Straub. She was courteous, thoughtful and considerate at all times and went that extra mile for me and my husband, especially as I was going though a very difficult time in January.”
~M Nicol

“Although in the end it was not Thea who managed to find us a house, I would still like to compliment her on her service. She was always cheerful and helpful and genuinely interested in finding us what we wanted.”
