Our Team

  • Sara McQueen | Residential Property Manager

    Born and bred in beautiful Tauranga, Sara McQueen brings nearly two decades of hands-on experience managing residential properties for families and trusts across the Bay of Plenty. Her approach is simple yet powerful: treat every investment as if it were her own, and every tenant like family.

    Sara’s property management portfolio spans everything from high-end executive homes to compact bedsits, including rentals with pets and those requiring extra care and communication. Her ability to navigate challenging tenancies with empathy and professionalism is backed by a strong foundation in administration, clear communication, and meticulous organisation.

    Whether it’s coordinating maintenance, ensuring compliance, or fostering long-term tenant relationships, Sara is known for her reliability, responsiveness, and unwavering commitment to doing things right the first time—just like her family motto says: “Do it once, do it right!”

    When she’s not managing properties, you’ll find Sara hiking local trails, playing rugby, or hitting the road with her husband and three children in their caravan, exploring the hidden gems of New Zealand.
