Bayleys Real Estate Whangamata

Paula Kirkman brings a wealth of industry experience, professionalism, and genuine care to her role at Bayleys Whangamatā. Passionate about both people and property, she is dedicated to delivering outstanding results while ensuring every buying and selling experience is seamless, rewarding and built on trust. Paula’s journey in real estate began while she was still in school, working as a Saturday receptionist - a role that sparked her passion for the industry early on. From there, she progressed to personal assistant positions for top-performing agents before stepping into sales herself. Since becoming a licensed salesperson in 2018, Paula has earned national recognition as part of a top-performing team and was ranked among New Zealand’s leading residential salespeople in 2023-2024. Committed to professional excellence, Paula has completed her Level 5 Branch Manager qualification and is currently working toward her Level 6 Agent’s Licence, further demonstrating her drive for growth and expertise. Originally from Zimbabwe and raised in Beachlands, Paula’s connection to the Coromandel runs deep rooted in fond memories of family holidays to the region. Now proud to call Whangamatā home, she combines her strong work ethic, attention to detail, and relationship-focused approach to serve the community she loves. Paula is known for her integrity, innovation, and transparent communication. She’s a skilled negotiator who genuinely values the trust her clients place in her, whether they’re buying their first home or selling a cherished family property. Paula believes real estate is more than just transactions - it’s about people, progress and creating opportunities.

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.
