About Dale
Executive Beachfront homes, modern Waterways canal frontage properties right through to 45 year old untouched original baches, the SOLD signs speak for themselves. Dale is proud to be part of the Bayleys’ team servicing the Whangamata, Pauanui, Whirtoa and Onemana areas catering for permanent residents and holidaymakers alike. Real estate professional Dale Sholson knows the Whangamata and Pauanui areas like the back of his hand. He’s lived here for over 20 years and knows what makes these markets tick. His dedication to the local area is evident in the fact that Dale has spent many years serving as a volunteer fire fighter in Pauanui and senior coastguard crew member for Tairua-Pauanui Coastguard (after 20 years Dale has just retired from both of these organisations). This has seen him presented with the New Zealand Fire Brigade’s Long Service and Good Conduct Medal, a meritorious award for members of recognised fire services in New Zealand who have completed 14 years of service. This speaks volumes of Dale’s personal traits of honesty, trustworthiness and dedication – traits that his real estate clients also benefit from as Dale assists them to buy and sell homes. Standing up for what is right is important for Dale and he is always willing to challenge something if he doesn't think it’s correct, meaning his clients can have full confidence that he is looking out for their best interests at all times. Practical and hard working, Dale’s aim is always to create a win-win for both parties in any real estate transaction. Repeat business is the ultimate accolade. Dale lives in Pauanui and outside of work he enjoys spending time with family, his dogs and indulging his love of muscle cars and wood fired cooking.

Real estate has always been part of Jerry’s life. She grew up in the industry, with her mum running a successful agency in Wellington, and that early exposure sparked a passion that’s never left.

Coming from one of the country’s most competitive markets, Jerry knows what it takes to achieve outstanding results. She brings energy, knowledge, and a heartfelt commitment to every client. Known for her honesty, communication, and people-first approach, Jerry has built a thriving business through trust, results, and strong relationships with repeat and referral clients. Jerry has a Bachelor of Commerce in marketing from the University of Auckland and enjoys keeping fit. She represented New Zealand in gymnastics and has raced in many triathlons, including the Taupo Ironman and ran the London Marathon in 2024. Married to Troy and proud Mum of three, together they share their love of camping, travelling and the outdoors as well as combining social time with their wide circle of friends and family. Based in Whangamatā and servicing the surrounding areas, Jerry is excited to bring her experience, dedication, and personal touch to the community she has loved for decades.

Blair is friendly approachable, committed to his role

Blair has learnt quite quickly about ORA's and we work together well. Always professional, helpful and happy to discuss ideas etc. Selling ORA's is very different to selling a property in the community and a very different approach needs to be taken. Blair has been able to adjust his style to suit and nurtured prospective purchaser to a sale.

Paula's skills and dedication brought us success in a surprisingly short space of time.

Paula's skills and dedication brought us success in a surprisingly short space of time.

We followed a extensive selection process to choose the right real estate agents for us. We selected Paula, Blair and the Bailey's team and they did not let us down. At the beginning they sat down with us and explained everything we needed to know and recommended we go for tender process, which we agreed to. Although the house did not sell at tender, we appreciated the wisdom of following the tender process as the first step. The communication from Paula was very good and we received weekly updates and regular phone calls to keep us updated on interest in the property. When setting a price to market the property at, Paula demonstrated very good market knowledge which enabled us to advertise the property at an attractive price. Paula was good at providing market data on which to make such decisions. Marketing material developed by Paula and the team included a video, web pages, and Flyers all of which were produced at a very high standard. This enabled the property to be marketed in a very positive light. The house was marketed quite widely on quite a few web sites. Paula and the team held regular open homes which gave maximum exposure of our house to potential buyers. This was backed up by carrying out private viewings. A successful offer and negotiation followed a private viewing. Paula did an excellent job of negotiating the price resulting in a happy buyer and a happy seller. Paula and the Bayleys team always showed utter professionalism in all our dealings with them which resulted in an excellent outcome.
