Living & working in the East Coast Bays

I had an outstanding experience working with Nish and Charlotte. From the beginning they went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothing and we achieved the best possible result.

Communication was excellent throughout the process; Nish answered questions promptly and offered thoughtful advice when decisions had to be made. What impressed me most was the level of dedication he showed in bringing council information up to date to assist us to meet the sale agreement conditions....
- Christine, Murrays Bay
Nish & Charlotte were my agents when selling a deceased estate. Their communication and professionalism was excellent. They ensured I was kept up to date through the whole process and dealt with any problems straight away.

I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for an honest and trustworthy agent to market their property. I will be using them again when we sell our own home.
- Jenny, Windsor Park
I have nothing but complete praise and appreciation for Nish during the complicated process of selling my home post divorce. Nish was able to support and guide me through the process, whilst also facilitating all of the communication and documentation that was required between both parties.

I am most impressed and grateful that not only did he succeed in selling the home in just 28 days but he was able to ensure that all stakeholders were ultimately satisfied with the end result.
- Sarah, Torbay

Common Questions

Q: What happens at a property appraisal?

A property appraisal is a free, no-obligation visit where we assess your home and give you a realistic price range based on what buyers are actually paying right now, not a generic online estimate. We walk through your property, review recent comparable sales in your specific suburb, and talk you through a tailored marketing strategy. It usually takes 30 to 45 minutes, with zero cost and zero obligation to list.

​

Q: What's the difference between a market appraisal and a registered valuation?

A market appraisal is a free assessment from a real estate agent, based on comparable sales and current buyer demand, used to guide a selling decision. A registered valuation is a formal, paid report from a registered valuer, usually required by a bank for lending or refinancing rather than for setting an asking price. If you're deciding whether to sell, an appraisal is the right starting point; if you need a valuation for finance, we can point you to a registered valuer.

​

Q: Is a property appraisal really free, and does it commit me to anything?

Yes, completely free, and there's no obligation to list with us. You can use the appraisal purely for your own planning, whether that's deciding if now's the right time, understanding what your property's worth for a refinance conversation, or simply satisfying curiosity. No pressure, no follow-up pitch you didn't ask for.

​

Q: How much does it cost to sell a house on Auckland's North Shore?

The main costs are agent commission, marketing, and legal fees. Marketing across the Bays typically runs $3,000 to $8,000 and covers photography, video, online listings, and print. Legal fees usually sit at $1,500 to $2,500. We give you a full, itemised cost breakdown at the appraisal, specific to your property and suburb, so there are no surprises later.

​

Q: How long does it take to sell a house in Mairangi Bay and the East Coast Bays?

It depends, mainly on method of sale, pricing, and presentation, but here's the nuance. Auction and deadline sale campaigns are built around a set timeframe, typically four to six weeks from listing to close date. Private sale runs open-ended and can move faster or slower depending on buyer interest. Suburb matters too: well-located, well-presented homes in the Bays' more sought-after pockets generally attract stronger, faster interest than properties that need more work to show well. We'll give you a realistic estimate specific to your property at the appraisal, based on what's actually selling nearby right now, not a generic area-wide number.

​

Q: How do I choose the right real estate agent on the North Shore?

Look for an agent with verified recent sales in your specific suburb, not just Auckland-wide numbers, strong client reviews, and a clear marketing strategy, rather than a high appraisal figure designed purely to win the listing. Ask to see comparable sales, check RateMyAgent, and pay attention to how they communicate. You'll be working closely with this person for six to ten weeks, so fit matters as much as track record.

​

Q: Should I sell by auction or deadline sale?

Both methods create competition and urgency among buyers, and the right choice depends on your property and the current market. Auction works well when demand is strong and comparable sales support a clear price range. Deadline sale gives buyers more time to arrange finance and suits properties with a broader buyer pool. We'll recommend the method that fits your property once we've seen it and reviewed what's selling nearby.
