Simon Wilde is recognised for combining exceptional property knowledge with outstanding client service. With more than 30 years of experience in Auckland's property market and over $1 billion in combined property sales alongside business partner Lynnette Thomas, Simon has built a reputation founded on integrity, consistency and results.
Much of Simon's business comes from repeat clients and personal referrals - something he considers the greatest measure of professional success. His clients value his honest advice, calm approach and unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcome.
What truly sets Simon apart is his technical expertise. Holding a property degree from the University of Auckland and having practised as a Registered Property Valuer for more than 20 years (now non-practising), he offers clients a level of pricing knowledge and market insight rarely found in residential real estate. Throughout his consulting and valuation career, Simon has provided strategic property advice to some of New Zealand's largest organisations and Government departments, experience that continues to provide a significant advantage when advising vendors on pricing, positioning and negotiation.
Simon has been recognised throughout his career for both outstanding performance and professionalism. His achievements include being named Top Agent New Zealand at a previous agency, and #1 Salesperson at Bayleys Hibiscus Coast (2022/2023) and Bayleys Orewa (2024/2025). He has also received The Bayleys Way Award for exemplifying Bayleys' values and The Bayleys Award for Outstanding Client Service.
These accolades reflect far more than exceptional sales performance. They recognise Simon's unwavering commitment to professionalism, transparency, integrity and genuine care for every client - qualities that have earned him the trust of generations of homeowners and resulted in a business built largely on repeat clients and referrals.
Working alongside multi-award-winning real estate professional Lynnette Thomas, Simon offers clients the advantage of two experienced specialists managing every campaign. Their complementary skills in pricing, strategic marketing and negotiation ensure every property benefits from a tailored approach designed to maximise buyer competition and achieve an exceptional result.
Professional, approachable and trusted by generations of homeowners, Simon believes every successful campaign begins with listening. He understands that every property is unique and every client has different goals, tailoring his advice and marketing strategy to suit each individual property and its owner.
For Simon, success has never been measured solely by awards or sales. It is reflected in the trust his clients place in him, the relationships he builds and the results he consistently delivers.

There are several methods of selling property in New Zealand. It is important that you understand the process for the property you are selling.
Auction
Auctions are a public process where a property is sold to the highest bidder at a level pre-determined by you, the seller.
Tender
Usually set over a specific four-or-five week timeframe, the tender process leverages the timeframe element to invite buyers to submit a formal offer. After this, you can negotiate the terms of the sale with your preferred purchaser.
Expressions of interest
Expressions of interest invite all offers from interested parties, allowing flexibility and the option to choose who you want to negotiate with.
By negotiation
Properties offered for sale by negotiation leave value to be determined by the market. This is where the advice and experience of your qualified Bayleys salesperson can assist in determining where you see value for the property and are comfortable accepting an offer. Sales by negotiation are generally open-ended, with the absence of time pressure on both buyers and sellers.
