About Bryce
Creating emotion. Inspiring competition. Delivering premium results For us, real estate has never been about simply listing homes, it’s about creating a connection between people and place. Every property has a story, every neighbourhood has a lifestyle, and every campaign is designed to help buyers imagine the life they could be living. By combining strategic marketing, thoughtful presentation and authentic storytelling, we consistently create campaigns that stand out and inspire buyers to pay more than they expected. As Mount Maunganui locals with a genuine passion for the Mount community as well as the wider Tauranga area, we offer far more than market knowledge. Our clients benefit from two experienced agents working together throughout every stage of the process, bringing complementary skills, honest advice and exceptional communication. Whether marketing a beachside apartment, a family home or a development opportunity, we are known for our calm approach, meticulous attention to detail and ability to uncover what makes every property truly special. Our reputation has been built on trust, creativity and results. Clients regularly describe us as approachable, hardworking and refreshingly different-agents who genuinely care, communicate openly and go above and beyond to deliver outstanding outcomes. It’s this combination of innovative marketing, local insight and unwavering commitment that continues to earn the confidence of buyers and sellers across Mount Maunganui and Tauranga.

Above and beyond

We honestly couldn’t say enough good things about our experience with Dee from Collab. She went above and beyond for us every step of the way. What really sets Dee apart is her ability to hustle for you and make things happen that others simply wouldn’t. She genuinely cares, gets things done and always feels like she’s in your corner. We’re incredibly grateful for everything she did for us and couldn’t recommend her highly enough.

Outstanding support for first home buyers!

We couldn’t recommend Brooke from Collab, highly enough! As first home buyers, we knew very little about the process, but she made everything simple and stress free. She is approachable, supportive and was always quick to answer our questions. Her guidance made a huge difference, and we’re incredibly grateful for her help in buying our first home. Five stars! 🏡❤️

Selling a property made easy

Mel was fab to work with. She made selling our house simple and stress-free from start to finish. She was always quick to respond, kept us updated, and answered every question. What stood out most was how well Mel listened. She took my thoughts and ideas on board and worked them into her approach, so we felt like part of the process the whole way. We'd highly recommend Mel to anyone looking to sell.
