About me

Bringing Lifestyle to Real Estate

Taranaki is more than where I live - it's where I’ve found the perfect balance of community, family, and opportunity. Having been raised in Christchurch, I understand the unique advantages that living in a town like Stratford offers, especially when it comes to raising a family. The sense of connection, space, and lifestyle here has been pivotal for my own family's journey.

Over the years, my diverse background in customer service, banking, and online marketing has allowed me to build strong communication and problem-solving skills. But it’s my roles in the local community - co-founding Ako Wai, a program providing swim lessons to local children, and serving on the Board of Trustees at my children’s school- that has truly shaped my approach to real estate.

I’m passionate about helping others, and my community work has reinforced my belief in making every client feel valued, supported, and informed. These experiences have given me a deeper understanding of how to navigate challenges and find solutions that work for families, individuals, and communities alike.

Real estate, for me, is not just about buying or selling properties. It’s about understanding your vision and helping you find a home that fits your lifestyle and goals. Whether you're looking to grow a family, build an investment, or find a peaceful retreat, I'm here to guide you through each step of the journey.

Let’s connect and discuss your real estate dreams - I look forward to the opportunity to help make them a reality!

From the first moment Lizette came to visit me, I liked her personality and attitude. While I was listening to her I felt that this is the person I can trust to sell my parents home. She has confidence, integrity and honesty. She also replied to any of my emails almost immediately which also impressed me. So I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to sell their home, she was brilliant. She was very professional and she did her job very well.

We enjoyed having Lizette working with us and she was totally professional in all her dealings with our family. Being the primary contact, I was particularly impressed with the level of communication and that when I had to call her, she always answered her phone which I appreciated. Her communications regarding the marketing plan and the open home feedback was always clear and frequent. Wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend her and McDonald Real Estate.
