Jen Anderson
Residential and Lifestyle SalesWhen Jen and her husband Shane decided to make a career change to real estate they had one burning desire: to be the agents people could trust. Years later this is still at the heart of everything they do as they work in partnership to help people to reach their property goals.
Jen had a strong interest in real estate before making it her profession. She bought her first home at the age of 21 and continued to buy and sell property in various regions of New Zealand together with her husband, Shane. Together they have tackled projects involving do-uppers, bare sections, rural subdivisions, a house relocation and rebuild, rentals, coastal locations, a shell to complete, and a new build. This wealth of experience as property owners has given them first-hand knowledge of both the stress and excitement of buying and selling property, along with an in-depth understanding of a wide variety of property transactions.
Having encountered many levels of proficiency in the agents they worked with, over that time, Shane and Jen decided they could make a positive difference in the way others experienced what can often be a stressful time handling the most significant investments of a lifetime.
Combined with a background as a successful business owner and post-graduate qualified physiotherapist, real estate fitted in perfectly with Jen’s desire to help others.
Jen is known as a strong but personable negotiator, always looking for a win-win result. Energetic, enthusiastic, and determined, she leaves no stone unturned to research your options and secure your best outcome.
Her experience and attention to detail mean she knows how to pinpoint the creative changes that elevate a home in the eyes of potential purchasers. She has a proven record for achieving better-than-expected results and loves nothing better than setting top, street records, and sale prices.
As a testament to her approach, Jen is regarded as a trusted advisor to many and is grateful that many of her clients have become firm friends, with repeat business and referrals featuring strongly.
Local to Long Bay and Torbay, Jen has lived in the area for over thirty years and is one of its greatest proponents. In her spare time, she can be found walking on the beach, gardening, taking Pilates classes (Jen is an instructor), and spending time with friends and family.
Positive and inspiring, Jen loves assisting people to buy and sell real estate. Together with Shane, she leads a team at Bayleys Long Bay, dedicated to over-delivering in helping clients achieve their coastal, residential, and lifestyle property dreams, and committed to maintaining their reputation as the agents you can trust.
“I can’t wait to meet you and become your valued & trusted professional for expert, local, and national, real estate advice!”

Thanks to Shane and Jen I was able to sell my home and buy a property in a new location, that was going to auction in just two weeks. I didn't consider it possible, but I had fallen in love with the new property and somehow hoped I was in with a chance. I was asked to trust Shane and Jen's knowledge of both the market and of buyers. They helped me decide what furnishings to keep for the photoshoot and which items to remove. This seemed hard at first, but after dressing up the home, the photos were magnificent! I could hardly recognise the home I had lived in for over 45 years. It looked so trendy! It took just under one week to go live on the market. I could hardly believe it when I heard it was sold in just five days through a multi-offer. It was unreal!!! The price achieved was amazing, selling for over $80,000 above GV in a slow market. Two days after that, it went unconditional, minutes before the auction on my new home which I won!! I am so grateful to Shane and Jen for taking care of everything and making the impossible seem easy!
Shane and Jen were excellent salespeople and we were so glad we chose them. Their knowledge of the area and communication was excellent and their attention to detail in marketing and staging the house was far beyond what I think other real estate salespeople would do. Their good work is what sold the house so quickly. If ever I do buy another house, Shane and Jen will be the first real estate salespeople I will call and I will highly recommend them to family and friends. It's been a pleasure working with you both.
I just wanted to email you to let you know directly, how impressed I’ve been with Jen and Shane Anderson as I feel they deserve the recognition. I would not do this normally, but I was blown away with them and the result with my house demonstrates their amazing support and professionalism. Jen and Shane went the extra mile for me. They instilled trust in me, that my house was in good experienced hands. I felt supported by them both throughout the whole journey, and we have formed a solid friendship from the experience. Their assessment and guidance about how to get the best possible result was amazing. Also their constant caring communication was so helpful and supportive. We got the best possible financial benefit after all their emotional and practical guidance in preparing the house for auction. I think you get the message of how I feel. Words cannot fully express my gratitude. I will always recommend them to anyone.
After helping us buy our next home we knew we could trust Jen and Shane Anderson to help us sell our large family property. We were very pleased we did. Nothing was too much trouble for them. They helped style our home and gave us good advice. We were delighted with the outstanding result on auction day despite going to market at a difficult time during Covid. Jen and Shane are a great team with a friendly professional manner. We would highly recommend them to anyone wishing to sell their property.
We found Jen and Shane Anderson so helpful and knowledgeable throughout the process. We had lived in our house for 26 years and were very unprepared regarding how to market and sell our property. Jen and Shane were great! They guided us through every step of the way and were available at all hours. They made a very stressful time for us much easier. After selling our house they also helped us find the "house of our dreams" and supported us in its purchase. We highly recommend Jen and Shane. They went the extra mile for us.
Jen and Shane.were great.they went that extra mile for us and with their help we were able to get a great price for our property Much appreciated and we will gladly recommend them to family and friends.
Shane and Jen Anderson did a wonderful job in marketing and finding a buyer for our section in Dairy Flat. The marketing of the property was comprehensive with great photos. Shane diligently followed up the tender process to achieve an excellent price for us. Professional in every way with a high level of integrity. If you have a property to sell, Shane is your man!
Jenny was great to deal with, very professional, always gave good advice and follow up. She was honest, enthusiastic in selling our property and worked hard. Specially, thanks a lot for the sharing of info about our property with other branches and involving of other agencies as well in the Sale! We would definitely recommend Jennifer to others!
Shane and Jen are a great team who provide excellent services in their efforts of selling the house. From giving advices, house staging, marketing and even baking cookies for the open homes. They are very detailed, communicative and meeting expectation to achieve the best result within the time frame. I highly recommend them if you are thinking of selling your property with a great result.
As well as being easy to work with over a few months, one of the key success factors and strengths that stood out with Shane and Jen was super-strong marketing and continually lifting the presentation. The marketing focus with them is super-strong to put your house on point, targeted to the right audience and continually looking to lift it's profile or trying different avenues. Presentation really matters and with plenty of ideas they continue, even after listing to look for little improvements, tweaking little things to maximise the presentation and finally the result.
"Shane and Jen Anderson sold our house in 4 days… let that sink in… FOUR DAYS!! We had only two open homes and the house went unconditional before the following weekend. We met with several agents before deciding that we were most comfortable with Amazing Team Anderson. Surprisingly, they were the only agents that went into our backyard and around the full front of the property to see it from all angles before leaving, on their first visit. We hadn’t even signed with them at that stage. No other agent was interested in checking the whole property. We felt informed the entire way through the process and trusted them implicitly. At no time were we left wondering about any aspect of the sale. Before the house went to market, we had several meetings on-site with them and they had no problems giving us time to ask as many ‘silly’ questions as we could think of. Also, they made sure that we fully understood what they were telling us in all interactions. They advised us to undertake several changes to the décor or layout and to update the paint in some places. We very willingly did all that they suggested knowing that all of us were interested in the best outcome on the sale. Jen also came in and helped us to stage the house, in some places using some of their own items to give the house the best possible look to a potential buyer. Things that we thought were fine as they were, Shane and Jen knew would not appeal to our buyers, and they were right. They clearly knew the local market. Jen is very pedantic in getting the home perfect for photos and viewings and this worked out to be a blessing because the result they bought us was well above our expectations, both financially and in length of sale time.
Allison, the girls and I would like to thank you, [Shane] and Jen for all your hard work in selling our property in Okura. We knew as soon as we met you both that you would be the right agent for us. From the relaxed but professional style to the advice you offered us to get the best price in a difficult market we appreciated it all. We have had mixed experiences with agents in the past, but would not hesitate to recommend you both to anyone selling their home who wants great communication throughout the process and agents they can trust 100%. Thank you so much for making what could have been a very stressful experience, an enjoyable one.
"You are extremely professional and dedicated. Working with you instilled a high level of trust which is why we decided to purchase within just a few days. Besides our great liking for the house, our fondness for the Anderson couple is also a significant factor. We appreciate your professional service and hope for the opportunity to collaborate again in the future!"
