After being in the real estate industry for over 15 years and working as a top-performing sales agent, I’ve seen the industry evolve dramatically. Selling our home on Gordon Road could have been daunting, but our experience with Collab and Mel was truly exceptional. From start to finish, the level of service, professionalis and care never wavered — and importantly, it was no different despite our personal relationship. Mel treated the sale with the same integrity, strategy, and attention to detail she would give any client, which speaks volumes about her character as an agent. While Mel is our daughter, it made us incredibly proud to watch her operate with such confidence and capability. She has truly found her place in this industry and has become a fantastic agent in her own right. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and would confidently recommend Mel and the team at Collab to anyone looking to sell. — Annette & Barry

We recently purchased a property through Mel that she brought to us off market, and the whole process couldn’t have been easier. Mel was great to deal with and always quick to communicate. We really appreciated her effort in bringing us the opportunity, knowing that we were looking, and guiding the purchase through seamlessly. Highly recommend Mel if you’re looking to buy or sell!

Our experience with Mel was very good,she made it easy for us and did everything in her power that we were happy in the way she handled the sale . She is great agent in every way,professional but also very sympathetic to us,because it was a big change for us.So we recommend Mel to everyone who want to sell a property.!!

Mel is a brilliant agent. Really down-to-earth, honest, and straightforward. At the same time, Mel is so full of energy and positivity, it really made all the difference in the sale of our home. Thank you for everything you did for us Mel!

Working with Mel to sell my home was one of the best decisions I made. From the very beginning, she brought a clear strategy, expert knowledge of the market, and a calm, confident presence that made the entire process feel seamless.

To have Mel as Our Agent is Amazingly Brilliant. She was 'Geared up with the Play', Knowledgeable, Very Pleasant, Fantastically Amazing as to the Selling of our Unit. Gave her Time to Us 24/7. Plus knew the Market of selling and Prices Exceptional and of course Excently once again. We were so Lucky to have Mel. If we Bought or Sold another Place. We would Definitely Choose Mel. Everytime.

Mel is a competent agent with good communication skills and prompt replies. She worked well with both myself and the seller during renegotiations to get the deal over the line. Highly Recommended

I had the pleasure of working with Mel Taylor during my recent home purchase and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Her deep understanding of the local market and keen negotiation skills ensured I secured my dream home. What truly set Mel apart was her ability to make the entire process enjoyable and stress free. Her positive attitude and personalised approach turned what would have been a daunting experience into a fun and seamless journey. I wholeheartedly recommend Mel to anyone seeking a dedicated and skill real estate professional.

Mel Taylor was recommended to me by our next-door neighbor. You don’t work with estate agents very often in life, so the recommendation of Mel turned out to be the best thing for us. From the first meeting, it was clear she was highly experienced and extremely professional. After assessing our property, she recommended an on-site auction as the best option, and I agreed. From that point, Mel kept me informed every step of the way, updating me on what had been done. The advertising was superb, and she kept me informed about the level of interest. I have to say that the auction was the only way to achieve the excellent result we did in our case. Mel, in the modern vernacular—'you rock!' Alex Jamieson

Mel was an absolute pleasure to work with. A great communicator and made herself available at very short notice. She provided relevant information readily and was very responsive to any questions I had. I found her extremely professional and personable. Auctions can be very anxiety-inducing but Mel was reassuring and supportive. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

I have dealt with a number of Real Estate Salespeople over the years and I would rate Mel as being one of the best. We achieved a sale in a very short time at a price we were very happy with even in what is seen as a slow market. Mel certainly put in the effort, at times after hours to get a deal over the line. At all times from the initial listing proposal until after the sale communication was excellent. 100% recommended.

Mel, thank you for all your time assisting us to find our dream home! We had very specific things we needed for our new home and you worked along side us with such patience to ensure we found the perfect property! Your communication was fabulous through the entire process. Your market knowledge was like nothing else and we knew we were in good hands. Thank you for helping us find our dream home. You’re amazing and we would recommend you as Mount Maunganui’s top agent (and trendiest too) to all friends and family! Collab is something really special and we look forward to see what you do next!
