Since his entry into real estate Rob has gained a reputation for delivering better-than-expected results. One of the main reasons is that Rob is local through and through. Born and raised in Lower Hutt, he knows the area extremely well and can offer his clients valuable grassroots knowledge of the property market throughout the Hutt Valley, Eastbourne to Upper Hutt. He understands what makes each suburb unique and what purchasers are looking for. This allows him to perfectly target each home to the right buyer market for outstanding outcomes.
Rob has a true passion for people and it shows. Helping people to relax and feel at ease is always his goal. He thrives on meeting clients, understanding their dreams and goals then devising a plan to deliver. His focus is firmly on assisting and he has an innate ability to get alongside people from all walks of life. Rob loves to create win-wins, matching the perfect purchaser to each vendor’s property.
Rob’s background means he knows how homes are constructed from the ground up and he enjoys sharing this knowledge so people can make fully informed decisions. Other key skills include the ability to work to deadlines, innovative problem solving and navigating high-pressure situations with ease. He knows that when marketing a home, attention to detail is everything and he takes the time to ensure his vendors know what can be done so their home stands out from the rest.
Outside of work, Rob enjoys golf, motorsports and travelling to all the corners of the globe with his family and is a very keen gardener.
Rob likes to work in the area that he lives in so he can keep his finger on the pulse. Currently that is Waterloo/Waiwhetu where he focuses on establishing a trusted reputation for being the go-to agent for all things property in the area and beyond to the wider Hutt Valley including Eastbourne to Upper Hutt.
We were referred to Rob by an agent we had used before but is now overseas. We couldn’t have done better! Rob was incredibly hardworking. The advertising was well planned and designed. He held as many open-homes, viewings and follow-ups as he could fit into the 3week deadline sale time, which , with his experience ,he had advised for our home. Communication was great and with his good advice and support we were able to achieve a successful and impressive sale. I would not hesitate to recommend Rob to anyone considering selling their home. Thank you Rob.
Easy to deal with. Honest conversations. Available when you needed to talk with him. Updated after each Open Home. Was satisfied with service & feedback
From the very beginning of the selling process/journey, we felt we were in safe hands with Rob. He had a clear understanding of our goals and objectives, as well as understanding we were not wanting to waste anyone's time. To that end, he supported us choosing to list the house with a specific number, instead of the standard tender/by negotiation that is seen a lot these days. He understood that we had been caught up in that selling/listing technique and thus wanted no part of it. Throughout the entire journey, Rob was always the person to touch base with - he never fobbed us on another agent or even admin staff. He hosted every open home, followed up with buyer enquiry questions. We were never not in Rob's own hands from start to end. This was a huge reassurance to us compared to our buying journey with another agency/agent. Rob is most efficient, has no time for time wasters and helped us achieve our very specific selling goal within the specific timeframe we had set as well (baby on the way). Rob was always patient and kind with our many questions/concerns and nothing was too hard. Rob feels more like a friend than an agent who simply sold our house.
As a first home buyer, the process of buying your first home can be daunting, but Rob made it a genuinely positive experience. He was available, flexible, reliable, and open throughout the entire journey. His honesty and support made everything feel manageable, and I never felt overwhelmed as a first-timer. Great to work with — I would highly recommend Rob to anyone looking to buy a home.
Rob Black from Bayleys real estate would have to be the most honest, reliable and truthful real estate agent we have ever dealt with in 50 odd years of buying and selling houses He's upfront about what, why and when, and the communication is first class He goes beyond and above We would say we wouldn't go anywhere else Thanks Rob
I recently bought a house listed by Rob. Throughout the entire process -- from the open home right through to settlement day -- we found Rob to be patient, good-humoured, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. He was always responsive to our communications, and when he said he would do something, he followed through. As an example, we raised an issue with one of the showers following our builder's inspection, and the builder himself later confirmed that Rob addressed this with the vendor's plumber immediately. Buying a first house was a daunting process for us, but dealing with Rob made it less stressful. I would have no hesitation about asking Rob to represent us if we sold in the future, or recommending Rob to others looking to sell.
We engaged Rob Black to sell our home late last year. Our home was multi-level and not a common design, which we thought may have had its challenges to sell. Rob did a fantastic job right from the initial proposal, through the marketing, the open homes and closing the deal. Rob went outside of the usual by doing mid-week open homes as well as weekend ones. His communication was great which made the process a lot easier. He got us what we thought was a good price in a tight market.
We listed our home with Rob Black, and he was exceptional from start to finish. In our first interactions, he gave us a detailed outlook on how the buying market was behaving for not just our surrounding area, but also new-builds versus traditional houses. We were satisfied with the price range and delighted when it sold at mid-point. His communication was clear and timely, and he kept everything normal. He was proactive in highlighting where we could make improvements to maintain appeal. One example was out our decision to remove a skylight and repair the roof. Rob suggested reliable tradespeople, and once engaged, arranged access for them and acted on our behalf - definitely service above and beyond. We were so lucky to have Rob working with us and recommend him highly.
We were very happy with our experience with Bayleys! Initial contact with Bhakti Mistry through a family contact, she was warm, welcoming and just lovely to deal with. Our home was nowhere near 'sale ready', and she was optomistic, encouraging and not judgemental! She quickly introduced us to Rob Black, who we clicked with straight away. Positive, energized and skilled in all areas, Rob set to work with a plan to get us on the market. After a few weeks of contractors and chaos everywhere we were finally ready for Open Homes. A stressful process was made a lot easier with Robs approach, gently suggesting the odd tweaks and constant praise for the presentation of our home, made this time much more bearable. After just a few short weeks we were considering offers, which led to a conclusion all parties were extremely happy with. I could not fault the job Baileys did, especially Rob and Bhakti - just amazing! We wholeheartedly give this 5-star rating for their performance, and happily recommend them to anyone wanted a stress-free journey to sell their property. Thanks team!
Rob was brilliant. We needed to sell a deceased estate while I was in the country for a limited time, he led an active campaign attracting lots of interested buyers. He was very attentive, meeting our needs at a difficult time with ease and compassion. We achieved a much stronger sales result than expected, thanks!
Rob was fantastic to work with. He’s genuine, professional, and kept us well informed throughout the entire process. He went above and beyond to ensure the sale was completely stress free. Our home sold in just over three weeks, which was an excellent result leading into Christmas. I would happily recommend Rob to anyone looking for a reliable and dedicated agent.
