Pat Jarvey - Local Whakatane Expert
Over Two Decades of Local Experience and Client Trust.
With over 25 years in industry experience and a deep connection to the Eastern Bay of Plenty, Pat Jarvey is a name that locals trust. From her early days in Auckland’s fast-paced market in the 1990s to becoming one of Whakatāne’s most respected sales consultants, Pat’s career has been built on integrity, empathy, and results.
She began her property journey in Auckland before relocating to Whakatāne in 2000, where she became the region’s most awarded Property Manager. In 2016, she made the switch to residential and lifestyle sales — and hasn’t looked back.
“After all these years, my greatest thrill in real estate is being part of the journey — finding people for places, and places for people.”
