Lynnette showed empathy for our circumstances, gave realistic price expectation, acted with energy & focus and achieved multiple offers in two weeks of marketing! A splendid result, thanks to her team who could not be faulted. I have had experience of many agencies in Australasia, with negative results and impressions. In contrast, Bayleys and Lynnette Thomas rank at the top! I have no hesitation in recommending them to all.

Rainer Buhmann and Janet Gibbes

Listing with Lynnette and Simon felt right. So if you are only marginally entertaining the possibility of bringing them on board to assist with your sale, I really urge you to sit with that feeling for as long as you need to arrive at the decision to proceed! Any niggles, don't be worried about stating them. I guarantee Lynnette and Simon will put your mind to rest and once you get going with them, you just won't look back! Big thanks Lynnette and Simon, we have always felt in safe hands with you and we wish you all the best for ongoing future real estate sucesses!

It is with great pleasure that we provide this reference for Lynette and Simon. They recently sold our family home on a lifestyle block in Kaukapakapa, with a great result and finding a wonderful family to live in this home after us. Throughout the process they were both professional in their approach, communicated well with us all, worked incredibly well as a team, and we know that they had our best interests at heart. They went the extra mile to provide us with advice on buying our next home in the city and it was wonderful having their expertise and trusted advice. We would unreservedly recommend them to anyone looking for the very best team in the Rodney area!

Karen, Nick, Bets and Bob

We bought and sold with Lynette Thomas and Simon Wilde, all I can say is these guys are simply awesome! We felt totally looked after at every stage, in the purchase of our new home, and even more so the sale of ours… At every stage of the process, Lynette and Simon were 100% engaged, attentive and always looked after our best interests, we were understood, listened to, and always felt that we were their absolute top priority. Communication was excellent! An offer the day of listing, and unconditional 2.5 weeks later, who could ask for more! By far the best real estate experience we’ve ever had!

To Bayleys senior management… Following good recommendation we engaged Lynette Thomas and Simon Wilde to market our Red Beach property. From the very first contact with Lynette we valued the candid approach supported with extensive industry knowledge and engaging personality, leaving us feeling confident we were in good hands to sell our property. Appreciating the challenging market Lynette and Simon were active and transparent in their commitment to working the sale. We are pleased with the result now being sold. We may be in different lines of business, but in reality we are all in the people business… And it is the people in your business that become your competitive advantage. We congratulate Lynette and Simon for endorsing this! Sincerest appreciation, Scott and Caren Little

Lynnette and Simon did a superb job of presenting our Deceased Estate property. They were very understanding and empathetic during the whole auction process. Dealing with three Executors was a true test of their professional manner, which never faulted. With their combined years of vast knowledge within the industry we really did know we were in good hands. Thank you Lynnette and Simon for a very successful campaign. I highly recommend this awesome team. Barbara Hannah

Simon and Lynnette marketed my mother's apartment. In a difficult market they managed to get an early conditional agreement, which subsequently did not go unconditional. Despite this, they kept at it and ultimately obtained a new unconditional buyer. A good lesson in persistence paying off.

Methods of sale

There are several methods of selling property in New Zealand. It is important that you understand the process for the property you are selling.

Auctions are a public process where a property is sold to the highest bidder at a level pre-determined by you, the seller.

  • Auctions are the most transparent sales process, putting all qualified purchasers together in one room, increasing competition to aid determination of fair market value
  • A sale under the auction hammer is cash unconditional, providing sellers with certainty to plan their next move
  • The deadline timeframe of the auction process creates urgency and a window for buyers to complete due diligence

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 invite all offers from interested parties, allowing flexibility and the option to choose who you want to negotiate with.

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.
