Vanessa Small

About Vanessa

With a background in real estate administration, Vanessa Small knows all aspects of a property transaction – front end and back end. This means clients are privy to exceptional service. In an industry where no two days are the same, Vanessa thrives in the challenge that real estate provides. She takes pride in being an early riser giving her the edge in the fast-moving world of real estate.

Vanessa is proud to be a true Gore local. Born and bred here she grew up in a large family and loves calling Gore ‘home’. Her connection to Gore enables her to know the local real estate market and community extremely well - knowledge that can only be gained by time lived in a town and doing the hard yards.

Outside of real estate Vanessa is very involved in music, playing and teaching the guitar and violin. She is the secretary of the New Zealand Songwriters Trust and is also involved in the Tussock Country Music Festival. She spends lots of time camping and fishing with family and generally enjoying all the South Island has to offer. Vanessa has recently purchased an old church and is restoring it into a fisherman’s lodge. Watch this space!

Vanessa is known for her honesty and transparency along with kindness and a fun sense of humour. This has meant working for Bayleys, with its focus on clients-first and delivering ‘altogether better’ outcomes has been a perfect match.

Vanessa is working alongside top Gore agent Julie Mitchell as her personal assistant covering all things admin and marketing as well as learning every step of the listing and selling process along the way with Julie.

By teaming up with Julie, who has over 20 years of experience behind her, together they make an incredibly strong team.  With their combined knowledge, alongside the Bayleys brand, they are capable of consistently delivering altogether better than expected results to their clients.
