Lawrence Millington Real Estate

Lawrence Millington Real Estate I am delighted to have joined the Arizto team. Both elements are as essential as each other to ensure a smooth transaction.

I got my Real Estate license as I didn't want anyone else to have as bad an experience as I did when I sold my house. I had a very poor experience when selling and decided that I wanted a change in career to make certain that no one else had to feel like I did, at what can be a very busy and stressful time. Prior to moving to New Zealand with my wife Gemma, I was employed in the banking industry f

or 20 years, having been a Bank Manager for Lloyds and managed a team in the head office for Barclays. This allowed me to gain the knowledge of both how to deal with people at important times of their life, as well as the paperwork needed behind the scenes! Having lived in London and Bournemouth in the UK and having spent time in the greater Auckland area and lived in Wellington for 2 years, I now reside in Papamoa. My main passion (outside of Real Estate!) is snooker and I am a member of both the Mt Maunganui RSA and Tauranga club, am vice president of the BOPBSA (Bay of Plenty Billiard and Snooker Association) and am proud to have won the BOP Open in 2020 & 2022, the Wellington Open in 2021 and the North Island Championship in 2021. I have a broad understanding of different areas, markets, strategies and of how I can help you when you are ready to sell your home, so if you need advice, have questions or just fancy a game of snooker feel free to get in touch with me on 027 286 4019 or email me: [email protected]

✨ Growth rarely happens inside your comfort zone. ✨

The goals worth pursuing often require taking a chance, embracing uncertainty, and doing things that feel uncomfortable at first.

Whether it's starting something new, making a big decision, or taking the first step toward a dream, progress begins when you're willing to move beyond what's familiar.

The comfort zone feels safe, but growth happens just beyond it.

What's one thing you're working toward right now that requires a little courage?

In today's market, first impressions matter. The way your home is presented can influence how buyers feel the moment they walk through the door and how memorable your property is after they leave.

A few simple changes can make a big difference:

✨ Declutter and depersonalise to help buyers picture themselves living there
💡 Maximise natural light by opening curtains, cleaning windows, and brightening darker spaces
🌿 Add subtle styling touches, such as fresh greenery or neutral décor, to create a warm and welcoming feel
🧼 Ensure every room is clean, fresh, and well maintained before inspections and photography

Thoughtful presentation helps showcase your home's best features, enhances your online marketing, and can encourage stronger buyer interest from the outset.

Thinking about selling? A tailored preparation plan can help your property stand out and make the best possible impression before it hits the market.

Buying a home means something different to everyone.

For some, it's the security of having a place to truly call their own. For others, it's a fresh start, more space for a growing family, or the freedom to create a lifestyle that fits their goals. It can be a financial milestone, a long-term investment, or simply the comfort of putting down roots in a community you love.

No matter the reason, homeownership is about more than bricks and mortar. It's about what those four walls make possible.

🎨 Want your artwork to look its best? Follow these three simple rules:

1️⃣ Hang art about 15–20cm above furniture to create a connected look.
2️⃣ On empty walls, position the centre of the artwork around 145–155cm from the floor—roughly at eye level for most people.
3️⃣ When grouping multiple frames, keep them 7–10cm apart so they read as one cohesive display.

These tips help your art stand out and make your space feel polished and inviting!

Want your home to feel bigger and brighter at inspection? A few simple staging tricks can make all the difference. 🏡✨

Start by decluttering! Less is genuinely more when it comes to helping buyers picture themselves in the space. Remove any extra furniture that interrupts the flow of a room, then focus on light. Add a lamp or two, and try placing a mirror opposite a window to bounce natural light into darker corners.

Not selling right now? Try it anyway; you might be surprised how much of a difference it makes.

With more professionals working remotely, a functional home office has become an important feature for many buyers 🏡💻

A dedicated workspace can make a meaningful difference in productivity, focus, and overall work-life balance. Instead of adapting to shared spaces or makeshift setups, many buyers are now prioritising homes with intentional office areas designed for daily use.

Whether it is a quiet room, a flexible bonus space, or a well-designed nook, the right setup can significantly enhance how a home supports everyday living.

If a move is on the horizon, aligning your home search with your work-from-home needs can make all the difference.
