Sarah Speedy
“Passionate about property, people, and the place I call home. Your local real estate wingwoman in Onemana & Whangamatā.”
After moving to Whangamatā in 2015 to pursue a career in real estate, I quickly realised I’d found exactly where I was meant to be. Having holidayed here with my family forever and inspired by my parents active involvement in the property market, real estate was a natural career path. Working alongside Aunty, Sharon Laurenson, for eight years provided invaluable experience and a strong foundation in all aspects of residential sales and the local market.
Now leading the Onemana office at Whangamatā Real Estate, I love helping people navigate one of life's biggest decisions. My approach is down-to-earth, honest, and relationship-focused. I believe communication is key, and I combine traditional hard work with modern marketing and social media strategies to give my clients every advantage.
Outside of real estate, you'll often find me renovating, dreaming up my next interior design project, exercising, cooking, baking, sewing, or soaking up a sunny day at the beach with family and friends.
I feel incredibly lucky to live and work in such a special place. I’m dedicated to making every real estate journey a positive and rewarding experience. Whether you’re buying, selling, or simply looking for advice, I’d love to help you achieve your property goals.

“We recently sold our Onemana property through Sarah, and the experience was seamless. From start to finish, Sarah demonstrated professionalism, integrity, and genuine care for our best interests. She aimed for a great price and delivered a pleasing outcome for us. While saying goodbye to our Coromandel retreat was bittersweet, Sarah made the entire process remarkably easy. Her communication was clear and consistent, and she was a pleasure to deal with throughout. Sarah is a true professional and a lovely person who goes above and beyond for her clients. We highly recommend Sarah to anyone thinking of selling their property—especially when it’s hard to say goodbye.”

"We highly recommend Sarah for anyone looking to buy in the Thames-Coromandel area. As new buyers to the market, we had a great experience. Sarah listened and presented us with a range of options. She gave her opinion when we asked for it, but was always balanced and never pushy. Sarah was patient, pragmatic and calm as she represented us through a quick negotiation. From our first viewing to settlement, we had completed our purchase in 7 weeks!"
