For Summer Lovell, Whangamatā is much more than somewhere she works — it is the community she grew up in and the place she is proud to call home.

After spending her early childhood in Piha, Summer moved to Whangamatā at the age of 10, attending Whangamatā Area School and going on to work locally across retail and hospitality. Those years have given her strong connections throughout the community and an appreciation for the people, homes and lifestyle that make Whangamatā such a sought-after place to live.

A long-standing interest in property, architecture and interior design ultimately drew Summer to real estate. Combined with her natural enjoyment of working with people, it provides a career where she can build genuine relationships while helping clients through some of their most important property decisions.

Friendly, approachable and easy to talk to, Summer places a strong emphasis on honesty, communication and reliability. She believes good real estate service starts with listening — understanding what matters to each client, keeping them informed and being prepared to put in the work required to achieve the best possible result.

Summer brings enthusiasm, a strong work ethic and a contemporary perspective to residential real estate, with a particular interest in homes and properties that capture the Whangamatā lifestyle.

Importantly, she is building her career as part of Dale Sholson’s established team at Bayleys Whangamatā. Working alongside experienced professionals provides Summer with the benefit of proven systems, extensive market knowledge and experienced guidance, while allowing her to develop her own relationships and reputation within the community. For her clients, it means Summer’s personal energy and commitment are reinforced by the collective experience and resources of a successful local team and the wider Bayleys network.

Summer’s connections to Whangamatā extend throughout her family. Her mother owns and operates a local business, while her aunty is Deputy Principal at Whangamatā Area School. Away from real estate, Summer enjoys spending time with family and friends, travelling, getting outdoors, and continuing to explore her interests in fashion, homes, architecture and design.

Summer is ambitious about building a long-term career in Whangamatā real estate and is committed to earning that success through hard work, genuine relationships and exceptional service.
