About Sarah Frater
I am proud to have called the Eastern Bay home for the last 7 years. My husband and I moved to the area in 2015 with a want to raise a family in a small, tight knit community. After welcoming our first child in late 2021 I can absolutely say we made the right decision, as we have never felt more at home. I am passionate about all things property. I have enjoyed almost a decade working in the industry, starting out in Property Management before moving into Real Estate Sales in 2018. I believe my communication and work ethic are key to my success and I am privileged to have helped hundreds of families in and out of homes in the Eastern Bay. Buying and selling can be an emotional roller coaster so I set out to remove as much stress from the process as possible and deliver a positive outcome for my clients. Outside of real estate, my main hobbies are centred around sport; in particular, I am an absolute cricket fanatic. I played right through my school years and even had a short stint in the Auckland Women's Development Squad. While my playing days are well and truly behind me now, I love to watch as much as I can (and dabble in some beach or backyard cricket from time to time). I also love living life again through the eyes of my little one, so quiet days spent at the park or aquatic centre are some new favourite activities of mine.
Happy Clients...
We had the privilege of having Sarah Frater as the agent who sold us a property in Whakatane in 2020. Circumstances did not allow us to view the house personally and we relied on Sarah’s information, advice, and photo’s to decide. She conducted herself most professionally throughout the sale and purchase process and importantly provided excellent support after the sale as we prepared to rent the property. Sarah was outstanding in all respects of our dealings with her – reliable, friendly, trustworthy, and excellent and timely communication. We would highly recommend Sarah to any prospective vendor or buyer.
Graham & Charlie
Sarah Frater has provided rental property management and real estate sales services to us for over five years. In property management, Sarah’s expertise surpassed expectation. Her approach was professional, client focussed, and responsive; underpinned by excellent communication and the ability to deliver outcomes that involved difficult conversations, diplomacy, and negotiation. Sarah later continued to deliver on our behalf as a high performing real estate salesperson. We were kept fully engaged in the sales process. Her communication skills, work ethic and dedication to achieving the best result for her client was born out with our property achieving multiple offers and a sale that far exceeded our asking price.

I have had the pleasure of working with Sarah since 2016 when she took over managing my rental property. She has since also sold a property for my family. Sarah’s work is exemplary- she is thorough and diligent, applying her full real estate knowledge to your property needs. As a property manager, she expertly maintained my property, including managing difficult issues with third parties with tact while ensuring my best interests were met. She kept me updated on market values and regulation amendments. Her approach to property sales is the same- she is straightforward, supplying information on all aspects of a sale, including local government planning, building, legal steps, mortgage information, time frames, renovation, removalists, and market values. She is highly ethical and leaves you in no doubt that she is working in your interest. I found her advice and valuation to be well-considered and on point. I don’t hesitate to recommend her to you.

Elwira & Cezar Garbarek
After being on the market with a previous salesperson without seeing results, I made the decision to change agencies. Sarahs love for her job was clear from the outset. She displayed an exceptional work ethic, communicated with me well through the sale process, and displayed expert knowledge of the local market. I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly Sarah was able to get a deal together for me. I would highly recommend selling with Sarah for an excellent result.

We were very fortunate to purchase our first home through Sarah, as she made us feel at ease throughout the whole process. We never once felt rushed, pressured or unsure about any one part of the process, thanks to Sarah guiding us through and allowing us the time to make decisions. Sarah really stood out to us as as the most welcoming, knowledgable and genuine real estate agent that we encountered on our search. We honestly couldn’t recommend Sarah highly enough and will most definitely look to re-sell and buy with Sarah in the future.
