Sharnika Dowthwaite

I'm Sharnika Dowthwaite, an Ohope based real estate salesperson specializing in the beautiful coastal and wider Whakatane area. Whether you're looking for a multi-million dollar beachfront estate, a savvy investment property, or an entry-level home, I have the expertise and enthusiasm to guide you through every step of the buying and selling process.

With a background as a first home buyer, renovator, investor, and multiple-time owner-occupier, I bring a wealth of personal experience to my role. I truly understand the emotional and financial intricacies involved in real estate transactions because I've been through them myself. My firsthand knowledge ensures that I can offer practical, empathetic advice tailored to each client's unique situation.

In addition to my real estate work, I serve as the Presiding Member (Chair) of the Ohope Beach School Board of Trustees. This governance role is particularly rewarding, as it allows me to contribute to the school community where my four sons are growing up.

What sets me apart is my genuine passion for people, not just properties. My professional yet relatable approach makes clients feel comfortable and confident, knowing they have a trusted advisor who truly cares about their needs and goals.
