Mel Tomes

Team Tomes are a highly effective team with each person having complimentary capabilities . Mel leads the marketing and ensures your property is seen by as many eyeballs as possible, the photos, video, drone shots and even placement of sign boards are all well considered and intentional. Glen is then able to present your property to prospective buyers who are motivated and excited. Glen is authentic, informed, conscientious and has a very clear path to closing the sale. Amy and Fiona make sure that the documentation, contracts and other details plus all the little things that round out the experience and success of the campaign are in place and sorted. The communication was excellent, it felt like a partnership, we always knew what was going on and what the next steps were. We had a great experience with Team Tomes, Thankyou!

We've known Fiona personally for some time, which is part of why we chose her, and that's really a reflection of who she is: someone deeply connected to and trusted within our local community. Those same relationships proved invaluable throughout our sale, and we were genuinely impressed by her professionalism and market knowledge from start to finish. Selling our home was an extremely difficult and emotional decision, and Fiona understood that from day one. Her patience and empathy made a hard process so much easier. As we were living overseas throughout the sale, communication was critical, and Fiona handled it brilliantly. We always felt informed and confident about what was happening, despite the distance (and time difference)!. Her guidance on everything from garden and house maintenance to marketing and staging was balanced and practical. She helped us make good decisions without ever pushing, and her local knowledge and trusted network of contacts made every step seamless. Not only did we achieve the sale result we were hoping for, but the entire process went beyond expectations. We would absolutely recommend Fiona to anyone looking to sell, especially if you're managing things from afar or facing a sale that means a lot to you.

They have unrivalled market knowledge, are super easy to communicate with and are just lovely and professional.

We couldn't have asked for a better experience selling our home. From our very first meeting, Team Tomes were professional, honest, friendly, and completely reliable. They never made us feel pressured and always gave honest, straightforward advice, which gave us confidence in every decision we made. Throughout the process, we genuinely felt they cared about achieving the best possible outcome for our family, not just making a sale. Their communication was excellent throughout—we always knew what was happening and felt informed every step of the way. Their knowledge of the local market was exceptional, and their advice on pricing and strategy proved to be spot on. They gave us realistic expectations from the beginning, and the outcome reflected their experience and expertise. Thanks to their guidance we sold our home in just three weeks and achieved the price we were hoping for. We can't fault the service Team Tomes provided and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you for making what could have been a stressful experience so smooth and successful.

Professional, approachable and down-to-earth. Glen, Mel and the entirely Team Tomes Team are exceptional. Selling my home in the current market (buyers market - May/June ‘26) was never going to be straightforward, but from our first meeting i knew I had chosen the right team. Glenn, Mel and Amy were consistently professional, calm and realistic throughout the entire process. They never over-promised or tried to tell me what I wanted to hear. Instead, they provided honest market advice, explained the reasoning behind every recommendation and always focused on finding practical solutions rather than dwelling on problems. Communication was excellent. Calls, emails and messages were responded to promptly, and I always felt informed about what was happening. Their teamwork was equally impressive—everyone knew exactly where things were at, so nothing ever slipped through the cracks. What stood out most was their ability to combine strong market knowledge with thoughtful strategic thinking. As the market evolved, they continually adapted the approach, bringing fresh ideas and helping me make informed decisions without ever applying pressure. They understood my circumstances, respected my goals and worked incredibly hard to achieve the best possible outcome in a very challenging market. Throughout the process I found them to be trustworthy, organised, approachable and highly professional. Selling a home can be stressful, but having complete confidence in the people representing you makes an enormous difference. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending the entire team to anyone looking to buy or sell property.

Fiona was the friendliest real estate agent we have ever met. We had gone to so many open homes looking for our new home and when we met Fiona in Te Atatu she was great. Made us feel welcome and answered all the questions we had openly and really worked with us when it came down to the finer details of the house. She has a great energy to her and would definitely recommend her to anyone wanting to sell their home. Thanks Fiona and the team at Ray White
