Nemone was a familiar face to us, she is friendly and honest with excellent local knowledge. She was able to provide various recommendations to help us connect with other Professionals as we navigated the buying by auction process. All required information was promptly provided to us and Nemone ensured we were well informed and supported at the auction itself. The whole experience ran very smoothly. Our overall impression is that Nemone will genuinely care about the on-going progress of the area, its properties, the vendors and the purchasers.

We couldn’t have asked for a better real estate agent than Holly Williams. She was absolutely exceptional throughout the entire process of selling our home, consistently going above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. From day one, Holly kept us fully informed and up to date, providing clear and timely communication at every stage. Her professionalism and attention to detail gave us complete confidence, and we always felt reassured knowing she had everything under control. What truly sets Holly apart is her warm and friendly nature. She made the whole experience feel easy and stress-free, and it was an absolute pleasure working with her. We are so grateful for her dedication and hard work, and we would highly recommend Holly to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring real estate agent.

From our first contact with Nemone she kept us regularly informed and explained the process clearly. She was very knowledgeable of all details of the selling process and had very helpful suggestions in presenting the house at its best. She met with us weekly and regularly by text to give us the feedback and helped us making good decisions in regards to the sale. We think that her suggestion of getting the house staged helped greatly in the presentation of the property to the market. We know she also was in regular contact with potential buyers which we are sure lead to the successful outcome. We would definitely recommend Nemone and Baileys to anyone interested in selling their property and would use her again in the future if the opportunity arose.

We were impressed at the outset by Ralph's knowledge of what was happening in our area, his understanding about our house being a little special and his integrity. He was detailed and helpful in his presentation, and readily available throughout the process, to listen and answer questions. Ralph's focused and friendly approach and his obvious expertise put us at ease with the process right from the start. Our house sold quite quickly and Ralph's planning and great communication skills meant we knew exactly what was going on all the time. When it came to negotiating over the sale price we felt we were in safe hands with his advice and guidance.

As a family we were reluctant vendors of the Waikanae property our mother had called home for more than 30 years. Ralph and the team at Bayleys showed sensitivity and respect for what we were going through, whilst ensuring we had all the information and advice we needed to make sound decisions. They took us through every step - from the initial picture of the market, with reliable data and relevant scenarios, to guidance and cooperation on presenting the property to potential buyers, to excellent engagement on the marketing plan and regular updates on Open Home numbers and feedback, and finally to the presentation of the offers. [I reckon we could've done with a drumroll when you opened the envelopes though… might have added to the suspense.] We were included at every step, informed but not overwhelmed. Ralph and the team made sure we actually enjoyed the sale process, with the right mix of professionalism and the odd bit of well-judged humour to keep us on track. We would not hesitate to recommend them to future vendors. Oh, and don’t miss the new series, “Kindling Your Keenness To Sell” landing on TVNZ+ in April 2026. It’s a Must See!

We had our property on the market for a whole year with very little interest and even less viable offers. Ralph had approached us over this time but we said we need to give the other agency a chance to sell our property before engaging a different agent. Of course nothing changed and we reluctantly took our house off the month. Six months later we responded to Ralph’s approach and his different ideas to promote our house. Ralph always said he would bring buyers to us rather than just hoping they would turn up at open homes. He also asked some searching questions about what we liked about our house and discussed ways to make it more presentable. We discussed a start date for advertising and open homes in late January. However just as Ralph had promised, he was able to bring three qualified buyers as early as mid December, one of which put in an acceptable offer which we were happy to go with. Settlement date was stretched out a little as we were yet to find a new house. A good result overall and very happy with Ralph’s professional and thorough work style.

Working with Ralph to sell my home was an excellent experience from start to finish. His background as a former diplomat clearly shows in the way he communicates — calm, thoughtful, and highly professional. He has an exceptional ability to listen carefully, understand concerns, and respond with patience and clarity. Selling a home can be a stressful process, but Ralph handled everything with a steady and reassuring approach. He was always available to talk things through, offered balanced advice, and made sure I felt informed and comfortable at every stage. His professionalism, strong communication skills, and genuine understanding of the pressures involved in selling a property made a real difference. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an agent who is not only knowledgeable, but also respectful, composed, and supportive throughout the entire process.

Excellent market knowledge and solid advice on all aspects of preparing a house for sale, marketing, attracting potential purchasers to open homes, resulting in 4 offers. Also fabulous connections to tradies should your property require last minute repairs. Systematic weekly feedback while the house was on the market and always available to answer questions and offer advice. By the end we found we had not only a brilliant agent, but also a new friend.

I’m delighted to recommend Ralph for the outstanding service provided throughout the sale of our property. From the outset, Ralph demonstrated a high level of professionalism, excellent market knowledge, and a genuine commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for us. Communication was superb at every stage of the process. Ralph kept us fully informed, clearly explained each step, and was always available to answer questions or offer reassurance when needed. His guidance on pricing, marketing, and preparing the property for viewings was insightful and clearly grounded in strong experience of the local market. What truly set Ralph apart was his dedication and attention to detail. He managed viewings efficiently, provided timely and helpful feedback, and negotiated skillfully on our behalf. His proactive and organised approach ensured the sale progressed smoothly and far more seamlessly than we had anticipated. Thanks to Ralph’s hard work, expertise, and commitment, we achieved an excellent result and felt supported and confident throughout the entire process. We would not hesitate to recommend Ralph to anyone looking to sell their property.
