About Mel

Since joining the Barfoot & Thompson Manukau branch I have engaged in my local area – I now have an intimate knowledge of the area and community. One of the main reasons I joined the real estate industry was the culture and longstanding reputation of the Barfoot & Thompson brand – a family-owned and managed company has been thriving for over 100 years. And guess what? I wanted to be a part of this! Before diving into the wonderful world of real estate, I had a successful career as a department manager and assistant store manager in the retail industry. But my true adventure began in 2015 when I took to the skies as an international flight attendant for seven years. Making customers happy and ensuring they felt well taken care of was my top priority, just like it is in the real estate business. Let's talk about Auckland, the multicultural metropolis that's growing at lightning speed. It's a city where everything you desire is right at your fingertips - from stunning beaches to mouth-watering food, cultural events, and vibrant arts scenes. When I'm not assisting clients on their real estate journeys, you'll find me cherishing special moments with my loved ones and friends. As a food enthusiast, I love to cook and try new recipes. Oh, and let me spill a little secret - I have an undeniable passion for fashion! Finding that one-of-a-kind piece that screams "must-have" is my guilty pleasure. With my outgoing personality and unwavering passion for what I do, I exude positive energy and a can-do attitude. Get in touch with me today and let's turn your dreams into a reality. An adventure awaits!

Excellent experience. Everything was smooth, clear, and well-organised.

Communication was clear, prompt, and easy to follow from the beginning. The agent was very easy to deal with and highly accommodating, always willing to adjust and respond to our needs, which made the process smooth and stress-free. They demonstrated strong market knowledge, providing relevant insights and practical advice that helped us make informed decisions. Their negotiation skills were confident and effective, working to achieve a favourable outcome while keeping us well informed at every stage. Overall, the service was professional, well-organised, and handled with a high level of care and attention to detail. We felt supported throughout and would confidently recommend their services to others.

Meeting Mel has been the best thing about this house buying process. My wife and I felt like we learnt so much on this journey and Mel was incredible in helping us understand every little detail. Her responses were very prompt and no matter time of the day (or night even) she was readily available without hesitation. There were moments where we had given up, but Mel didn’t disappear, in fact she gave us hope by sending us new listings as they came which met our criteria and was super determined in getting us house viewings whenever it suited us. Her professionalism and honest communication is what captured us from the beginning. I cannot thank Mel enough for the hard work she’s put into helping us on this journey. My wife and I are forever grateful ! Couldn’t recommend Mel enough :)

Very professional and supportive

I had a great experience working with Mel Bowman while buying my first home. From start to finish, Mel was professional, patient, and extremely helpful. She took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and guided me through every step of the process. Mel was always available to answer my questions, explained everything clearly, and made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. Her knowledge of the market and honest advice really helped me find the right house that matched my needs. I truly appreciate her dedication and support, and I would highly recommend Mel Bowman to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. Thank you for helping me find my perfect home!

Outstanding service and a smooth sale

We sold our property at 1/78 Palmers Road with Rupi Sekhon and had a very positive experience throughout the entire process. Mel market knowledge was excellent. She provided clear guidance on pricing and explained the local market in a way that was easy to understand, which helped us feel confident in our decisions. Her communication was consistent and reliable. She kept us informed after every viewing, responded quickly to our questions, and made sure we always knew what the next step was. Mel showed a high level of professionalism from start to finish. She was organised, proactive, and handled negotiations smoothly, making the selling process far less stressful for us. We truly appreciate her hard work and would highly recommend Mel to anyone looking to sell their home.

Full of knowledge, humble and fun to work with

We are so grateful to be teamed up with Mel who helped us selecting the correct(first) house for our family. Buying a first home could be mix of a lot of emotions and we are thankful to have Mel with us to guide us and mentor us through out this journey. Inspite of being on holidays, she was available for us when we needed. She was always ready to go for any viewing and always guiding us on diffierent aspects of home purchase. She has immense knowledge about this industry. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled professionally and on time. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home—you’ll be in excellent hands.
