Buyer of 8b Gardiner Grove, Mangere East
Kitua has changed my old negative perspective on real estate agents through her professionalism, easy-going personality, excellent knowledge of the market and the entire home-buying journey. From our first meeting, I could already tell she was going to be a wonderful agent to work with. It started with her bubbly personality which was backed by her knowledge of the whole process, she was very helpful every step along the way. I originally thought the whole thing was going to be tedious however she demonstrated excellent and timely communication, sacrificed her personal time to tend to my needs and provided me with everything I required for a successful purchase. I personally could not recommend a better person for the job and am looking forward to collaborate in the future for further purchases or sales.
Buyer of 14 Shayla Place, Favona
Kitua has excellent communication skills both in English writing and speaking where she had demonstrated them very well during the entire time she helped us from house searching to the payment settlement, received the keys to the property (about 3 to 4 months). She communicated to us via email, whatsup, mobile and meeting in person where she always like to inform us with necessary information such as house market trend, methods/types of buying house like auction, negotiation, viewing open house etc that will help us to make an informed decision within our budget, objectives and goals. Kitua always liked to make plan before executing it where she encouraged us to involve in creating the plan such as finding houses via websites (one-roof etc) or any other sources and let her knows. She made a list of houses and scheduled the date/time for us to view and she had a senses of humor to make us laugh likes having fun when viewed many houses in a single day and we forgot the tiredness and pressure of the day. Kitua has positive attitude where she encouraged us with several options to achieve our goals. One time, we tried backup contract for a property and we failed so she encourage us to keep on moving forward by arranging another property which was on auction, the owner was happy but my finance was not convinced so we waited for the passed-in event in the auction process. That plan was failed but Kitua was still having a positive attitude where most of family members were giving up. However, Kitua had great determination, commitment and willingness to lead us not only to satisfy our finance's requirement but to get our dream house and place within our budget. We turned every stone in our way went from Favona, Mangere, Papatoetoe, Manukau, Manurewa, and Weymouth and finally achieved our dreamt house and place in Favona. I like to recommend her to anyone wishing to buy house and I already did it before making this review to a family live-rent nearby.
Buyer of 11 Idesia Place, Totara Heights
Very fast responsive and explaining things in very basic English, we learned a lot of informations about the market, excellent negotiations skills, and very high level professionalism. Thank you Kitua we wish you all the best, and keep up the good work helping our pasifika people to own a home. Thank you and God bless.

Seller of 38A Te Arawa Street, Orakei
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.
Seller of 19 Riddell Road, Glendowie
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!
