Andrew Bakker, Kaitaia real estate agent

Andrew Bakker is a Ray White Kaitaia Licensee Salesperson specialising in lifestyle property, bare land, sections, rural property, holiday homes and residential sales. Based on the Karikari Peninsula, he brings 15 years of qualified building experience to practical property conversations.

Before real estate, Andrew worked as a qualified builder for 15 years and ran a successful transport business in Auckland for 15 years. That background gives him a practical perspective on property presentation, maintenance, land readiness and the questions buyers may raise. His experience provides useful context, while specialist building, engineering and legal matters should always be confirmed through independent professional advice.

Andrew researches each property, recent comparable sales and the vendor’s circumstances before recommending a campaign. He uses professional Ray White marketing, digital and social channels, then follows buyer interest with direct, straightforward communication. His approach is centred on helping owners understand their market, presenting the property clearly and working transparently with both vendors and buyers.

Andrew received Ray White Executive recognition in 2019/20, 2020/21 and 2021/22. Verified customer feedback highlights his local knowledge, practical building insight, transparent negotiation, quality photography and consideration around viewing arrangements.

Testimonials

Trevor Birch

"Very helpful for new customers, understands the rural market and the Kaitaia surrounding districts. Offers fair assessments and what people will look for."

Kathleen Russell

"Andrew was fantastic to work with throughout the entire process. He really listened to what I was looking for and managed to find exactly the kind of property I had hoped for. From start to finish everything felt smooth, well managed, and far less stressful than I expected buying a house to be. His local knowledge was incredibly helpful, and his background as a builder is a real asset. He was able to give practical insights about properties that most agents wouldn’t notice, which gave me a lot of confidence in the decisions I was making. I would absolutely recommend Andrew to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area. He’s knowledgeable, genuine, and clearly cares about getting the right outcome for his clients."
