Good honest feedback from a recent Sale:

Real estate is about much more than putting a property on the market. It’s about understanding what makes a home special, communicating clearly throughout the process, and making sure clients feel supported every step of the way.

I’m incredibly grateful for this feedback:

“Hard working, great communication, attentive but not pushy.”

Knowing that my clients feel informed, valued, and confident throughout their selling journey is exactly what I strive for. Achieving a positive result comes down to strategy, persistence, and keeping people at the centre of the process.

A huge thank you to my client for taking the time to share their experience and for trusting me with the sale of their home.

If you’re thinking about selling and would like an honest, professional approach, I’d love to have a chat.

SOLD | 135 Estuary Drive, Mangawhai Heads:

This is how 135 Estuary drive was positioned in the market:

Right from our initial meeting, we had an informed and transparent discussion with our vendors about the local market, their section, and how sections are currently selling. We guided our vendors on current market conditions, demonstrating why a clear asking price would be the most effective strategy, rather than taking a “Price by Negotiation” approach (Something we very rarely do)

Why? Because buyers are more likely to engage when they know whether a property fits their budget. Clear pricing attracts the right enquiries, reduces uncertainty, and creates momentum from the moment a property hits the market.

The result? Good buyer interest and a successful sale. Thank you to our vendors for putting their trust in us throughout the process. It has been a pleasure helping you achieve this result. Congratulations also to the new owners. We’re excited to see your plans come to life and look forward to watching you build your dream home at 135 Estuary Drive.

Auckland | Bayleys Conference 2026:

I was fortunate enough to take a few days away with my wife to attend the 2026 Bayleys Conference, As busy parents and business owners, these moments are rare and always appreciated.

It was a great event, featuring guest speakers, valuable insights, and stories from people across a diverse range of industries.

On Thursday I attended the Bayleys Auction Club evening. It was a privilege to be amongst some of New Zealand's top-performing agents.
We were also fortunate to hear from John Bayley, who founded Bayleys with his parents in South Auckland in 1973. His reflections on the company's journey and growth over the years were very insightful. Today, Bayleys is involved in approximately one in every five real estate transactions across New Zealand!

It was also a fantastic opportunity to connect with colleagues from across the country, strengthen existing relationships, and build new ones. These connections ultimately benefit my clients, giving your property exposure to an extensive network of agents and buyers nationwide.

Back to the office today…

Last weekend, it was a pleasure to help organise a car wash and bake sale for the local Junior Tomarata Rugby team, helping raise funds for the NZ Junior Rugby Festival later this year. It was a fantastic turnout, raising just over $1,600 in only three hours!Thank you to everyone who rolled up their sleeves to wash and dry vehicles, and to those who baked goodies for the bake sale.

A huge thank you to Scott and the team at New World Mangawhai for supplying the water and power, and for always supporting local.Also, thank you to Dave at the_bunker_mangawhai for allowing the kids to hustle around your customers and for hosting the bake sale outside your door. We really appreciate your support!

It’s been a busy year both professionally and in the community, and I’m proud to have sponsored and supported the following local organisations, events, and individuals:

• Mangawhai Heads Volunteer Lifeguard Service - Funding lunches for patrols throughout the summer season.

• Mangawhai Annual Kids Fishing Competition - Top prize sponsor.

• Local surfer Emma Lay - Assistance with funding to attend the National Scholastics Surfing Competition, where she won the Under 18 Longboard title.

• Mangawhai Boardriders - Supporting prizes for local competition winners.

• Red Nose Day - Participating in the community sausage sizzle at MAZ.

• Mangawhai Golf Club Twilight Golf - Sponsor.

• Mangawhai Heads Volunteer Lifeguard Service Golf Tournament 2025 - Supporter.

• Rodney College Year 9 Netball - Sponsoring the Player of the Day.

Supporting local isn’t just a value, it’s how I do business. I’m passionate about helping people succeed, creating opportunities within our community, and delivering great results for my clients. Whether it’s supporting local people, charities, and organisations or helping someone sell their home, my goal is always the same: to create value, build trust, and make a positive impact.

I’m looking forward to continuing to help where I can and making a positive difference throughout the 2026/27 financial year.

SOLD | 74 Moir Street, Mangawhai Village:

This village charmer has now sold. Congratulations to the new owners, and a sincere thank you to my vendor for placing their trust in me throughout the process.

What started as a casual conversation about the local market at the Mangawhai Heads Surf Beach just over eight weeks ago, followed by an appraisal, evolved into a successful sales campaign. Through a well-executed marketing strategy, the property attracted strong buyer interest and ultimately achieved a successful sale and a great outcome for my vendor.

If you’re considering selling, would like a free no obligation market appraisal, or simply want some honest advice about the local property market, feel free to give me a call.
