About Brandon
“When I grow up, I want to be a Real Estate Agent” - Brandon McCorkindale, aged 10 True Story. Whilst most agents ‘fall into’ the industry or choose it later in life, this path was clear to me before my voice broke. Maybe the evolving urban landscape of East Auckland had an influence. Maybe it was the hand of destiny. Whatever it was, I was going to sell houses and Monopoly would have to keep me entertained until then. And here I am, living the dream. Seriously, I have never looked back. The only things I’m more passionate about are my wife Caitlin, and my daughter Evie, they’re my world. Putting family first is the driving force for many of my clients too. Looking after the sale of their home is looking after their family; a huge responsibility and an exercise in trust I will never take for granted. In this job I get to feel the pulse of our community, building connections and learning about a wide variety of people at a time of massive change in their lives. Who knew you could learn basic Mandarin, the building code, or how to cultivate a perfect lawn by being an estate agent? The sheer variety of homes and architectural styles in this area have blown me away, as have the many uses for a garage! I have a growing bank of ideas for my next home… some of them straight out of the 70’s! (Sunken lounge anyone?) So, what am I like to work with? People describe me as warm, hard-working, positive, energetic, and highly communicative which has proven to be a powerful combination when it comes to selling real estate for East Auckland. I also love animals, good coffee, and teaching Evie how to say “Daddy wants a beer”. If you would like to work with me, I truly look forward to getting to know you. Brandon McCorkindale

Outstanding Service with great support.

Outstanding Service with great support.

We couldn't have asked for a better agent than Michael to guide us through the process of selling a property on behalf of my mother From our first meeting, Michael was professional, approachable, and genuinely invested in achieving the best outcome. He took the time to understand our situation, kept us informed every step of the way, and was always available to answer questions or offer advice. What stood out most was Michael's dedication and care. He treated the sale as more than just a transaction. His knowledge of the market, attention to detail, and approach made the entire experience far less stressful than we expected. We are incredibly grateful for everything he did and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to sell their property. Thank you, Michael, for your professionalism, kindness, and help in selling the property

Sold fast for a great price.

Brandon has a very broad knowledge and was able to provide the correct advice. The market wasn’t great for sellers but we were happy with the price Brandon was able to get. We were also expecting the house to sit on the market of weeks of months but thanks to Brandon’s network, we sold much faster than expected. This helped us tremendously with our next purchase.

 Another excellent experience with Brandon & Carol

Another excellent experience with Brandon & Carol

We have now had Brandon and Carol complete two property sales and we have been very pleased with the process and outcomes for each. When dealing with a real estate agent, from our perspective, it is essential to have clear and timely communication along with professional marketing, negotiation, and sale of the property. We sought guidance right at the start of the process, and in each property sale process this proved invaluable. Getting a well-structured plan in place makes a huge difference and pays off. Brandon and Carol bring very solid market knowledge to the process, and they are exceptionally easy to work with from start to finish. We appreciated their honest and grounded feedback in all our discussions. I recommend Brandon and Carol to any potential seller wanting an agency that works with integrity and in a professional manner. Brandon and Carol focused on getting the best outcome they could for us as the seller - and they worked exceptionally hard to get it. We have now had two excellent experiences! Very highly recommended!

Ran a great campaign for us

Ran a great campaign for us

Brandon was easy to deal with and did a great job for the family selling my mother's house. There was a bit of family debate about which agency and agent we would go with. In the end we went with Ray White and Brandon and got a very good result. He communicated well, provided guidance where needed on certain issues and got a good number of qualified bidders to the auction. When it didn't quite meet reserve he helped us see the value of putting it up for sale and we achieved above our reserve. Would definitely recommend Brandon and would use him again if the opportunity came up.

Part of the dream team with Carol Woods

Brandon and Carol are the dream team. They both have their strengths and together sold our house within the 4 week sale time. Brandon is very knowledgeable and we appreciated his skill and ability to answer questions when they arose. They were accommodating to our needs, listened and worked with us. We will be using them again to sell mum's house.
