I found Wayne and his team through a long conversation with Google Gemini AI about selling investment/development properties in the Eastern Bays, Auckland. Gemini recommended Wayne as the top choice for listing my 2 properties because of the following 4 reasons (Google’s words, not mine): 1) Master of local lifestyle and Investor Math Wayne has raised his own family in the eastern bays and is highly active in the local lifestyle. He knows how to sell the emotional value of the neighbourhood to premium buyers. He can also talk yield metrics, cash flow and land banking safety to seasoned investors without skipping a beat. 2) Former Ray White “Auctioneer of the year” An auction floor requires lightning fast psychological navigation. Wayne’s specific skill is leveraging that crowd tension to extract every single dollar out of the room. 3) Military grade negotiation discipline Before his 20+ years in real estate, he spent 10 years in the NZ Army. This experience translates directly to highly structured intense focus and an unshakable approach to hard negotiations. 4) Direct control of the local network As managing partner of the Eastern Bays branches Wayne can mobilise his entire network of local agents. I was a bit skeptical because AI has a tendency to overstate the positives about many things but I can honestly say Wayne and his team lived up to every single word that AI wrote about them. The part I appreciated the most was that during the Auction Wayne kept me constantly updated about the status of the side discussions with the top 2 bidders and his read on the ultimate buyer and the amount they would be able to pay was spot on. I felt he had the situation under control as he’s been there thousands of times before. For a first time vendor I felt Wayne supported me through the process like a true professional and managed my expectations exceptionally. I highly, highly recommend others to work with Wayne and his team when selling their properties.

Wayne and Mi worked very hard in a slow and tough market to present my home to potential buyers, and to achieve a fair price. Wayne was always working with my best interests in mind, highlighting the best features of the home and defending my asking price from 'low ball' offers. In a difficult and slow market you need an agent who really knows what they are doing, can negotiate well on your behalf, and knows how to deal with any 'curly' situations that arise. As a top auctioneer Waye has many years of experience, has sold multiple houses and really knows how to do a great job. He is ably supported by Mi and together they make a really strong and effective team. Highly recommended!

Seller of 29 Turret Lane, Hobsonville
It was a wonderful selling experience working with Lei. Her commitment and professionalism are top-notch, the success of the sale cannot be without her insightful market knowledge and skilful communication strategies. Lei and her team worked excellently together, they are always quick to respond to our enquiries, keep us posted on the latest news, and are always eager to engage with the buyers. They never give up on working and encouraging any potential buyers, but never in a stressful and inappropriate manner. We would love to work with Lei and her team again, and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a professional and capable agent!
