With over 20 years of experience in high-level sales and negotiation, Denise Dry brings sharp market insight, tenacious drive, and exceptional communication to every property transaction.

Specialising in helping people sell their home, buy their next one, or relocate to a new town, Denise understands the emotional and financial weight behind real estate decisions.

A skilled negotiator and creative thinker, Denise consistently delivers strong results — whether assisting families with selling an inherited property or guiding homeowners preparing to sell their house to move towns. She has personal experience navigating both urban and lifestlye property markets, having lived in cities and now residing on a lifestyle block in the Wairarapa. This gives her a well-rounded perspective on lifestyle properties, downsizing, and everything in between.

Alongside her husband Rick, Denise is one half of Team Dry — a trusted real estate duo who have personally bought and sold multiple homes. This hands-on knowledge gives clients real-world advice and support, especially those managing deceased estate sales, navigating first-home purchases, or needing to prepare a home for market. Together, they connect with both local and out-of-town buyers, particularly those relocating from Wellington and other regional centres.

Denise is known for her honesty, empathy, and ability to quickly build rapport. She supports her clients through all stages of the process — from property appraisal and presentation advice to closing strong sales and helping buyers settle into their new community. Her passion for the Wairarapa lifestyle, combined with her background in gardening, homesteading, and sustainable living, makes her a go-to source of local knowledge.

Whether you're planning to sell your family home, buy in a new region, or handle a property as part of a deceased estate, Denise delivers a seamless, stress-free experience — backed by strategy, skill, and care. Real estate isn’t just a transaction — it’s a life decision. And Denise Dry is the professional who helps you make it with confidence.
