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.

Relaxed and genuine agent

Gordon was very easy to deal with and had a very calm and non-pushy approach to his business which made the process a hassle free and comfortable experience without feeling backed into a corner. A friendly and efficient admin support team cant go unmentioned either. Thank you.

Friendly, professional and easy to work with. Highly recommended.

When I found myself in the difficult position of having to sell my Mother's beloved home Blair was empathetic, extremely helpful and professional throughout the entire process, bringing the property to a successful sale at auction. Blair is a very friendly person, easy going and went above and beyond the call of duty, even pulling up his sleeves and mucking in on the ground to help with preparing the property for market.

An outstanding team

What a great experience with the Dale, Gordon and Leonie team at Bayleys Whangamata. They genuinely love real estate and it shows through their energy and passion for all parts of the process. These guys know their market and get results. From the outset the team were professional and prompt with getting things underway and were receptive to our needs and tailored a marketing package to what we wanted, Dale is incredibly responsive and timely in all communications and dealings and we really appreciated him working hard in a weak market to get a multi offer. He was very accessible and informative and we appreciated him promptly following up all interested parties and reporting back, Gordon brings loads of experience and knows the market and we found him very helpful in providing valuable information Leonie is a real asset, engaging and friendly and efficient pulling it all together in the background to ensure a seamless process. We genuinely enjoyed working with this team and we would not hesitate in recommending them to get the job done. Matt and Jo Dodd
