Sarah Dyer and Duncan Ross, the two real estate agents behind the record-breaking sale of Andersons Cove in New Zealand, have described the deal as a career-defining moment. The property, located on the shores of Lake Wanaka, sold for NZ$38.5 million, making it the most expensive residential sale in New Zealand history, according to verified reports from the New Zealand Herald and OneRoof.
Dyer, who only became a licensed agent in 2025, previously worked as a sales manager for OneRoof. Her transition to real estate sales has been marked by this high-profile transaction. Ross, a veteran agent with Bayleys, brought extensive experience to the deal. The sale closed in early 2026, with the buyer reported to be a New Zealand-based family trust.
The property, known as Andersons Cove, features a main residence, guest houses, and extensive lake frontage. The sale price surpassed the previous record of NZ$32 million set in 2024 for a property in Auckland. Both agents credited teamwork and market knowledge for the successful transaction.
