Vic Ellingham is a Bayleys real estate agent specialising in rural, lifestyle and residential property across Dannevirke, Tararua and Central Hawke’s Bay.

With a strong connection to the local community and extensive rural experience, Vic brings a valuable combination of local knowledge, financial expertise, farming experience and genuine commitment to every property she represents.

Before joining Bayleys, Vic worked in rural banking, giving her a strong understanding of farming businesses, rural finance and the economic factors that influence property decisions. She also holds a Bachelor of Applied Science in Rural Valuation and Farm Management, providing a strong professional foundation for working with rural and lifestyle properties.

Vic also understands farming from personal experience. Alongside her husband, she was recognised as Tararua’s Sheep and Beef Farmer of the Year in 2013. This hands-on experience means Vic understands that buying or selling a farm or lifestyle property is about much more than the land and buildings. It can involve a family, a business, generations of work and a major life decision.

This understanding shapes the way Vic approaches real estate. She takes the time to understand her clients, their property and what they want to achieve, providing straightforward advice, clear communication and a highly committed approach throughout the selling or buying process.

Vic works across rural, lifestyle and residential real estate, including farms, lifestyle blocks, family homes, residential sections and rural properties throughout Dannevirke, the Tararua District, Central Hawke’s Bay and surrounding areas.

She is also proactive when it comes to property marketing. Vic embraces digital marketing, social media and technology to help properties reach the widest possible audience, while combining this with her strong local relationships and community connections.

For Vic, being a local real estate agent means being genuinely involved in the community. Her local relationships and knowledge provide valuable connections for both buyers and sellers, helping her understand not only the property market but also the people and communities that make the area special.

Whether you are selling a farm in Tararua, marketing a lifestyle property near Dannevirke, selling a residential home or section, or looking to buy property in the region, Vic offers informed advice backed by rural experience, financial knowledge and a genuine understanding of the local market.

Her approach is simple: listen, communicate, work hard and never give up.

Professional, approachable and determined, Vic combines business knowledge with warmth, humour and genuine empathy. She is committed to making the property journey as clear and straightforward as possible while working hard to achieve a successful result for her clients.
