Specialising in the sale of apartments across Auckland’s central suburbs and having worked in Real Estate for the past 15 years, Dave Hamlyn is a proven long term performer who leaves nothing to chance when it comes time to maximise the value of his clients’ assets.
Having enjoyed success through differing market cycles, Dave is well versed in producing a result in even the most challenging of conditions, with his ability to offer outstanding customer service and premium results in any market.
While clients will tell you that Dave is a clear and concise communicator who enjoys removing the stress out of the sale process, colleagues would agree that it’s his open and friendly demeanour which renders him instantly likeable and easy to get along with.

Focussed, motivated and committed, Dave has cemented a reputation as the ‘go-to’ salesperson in some of Auckland’s more challenging apartment complexes.

Having amassed a wide and varied network thanks to years of successful sale results, Dave is superbly placed to find the buyers that others can’t – an attribute which is only strengthened by Bayleys’ global profile and innovative marketing techniques.

Dave Hamlyn managed our sale. His communication was excellent, nothing was a problem, and he achieved a very good price under challenging circumstances.
Dave and Bonnie were able to answer all the questions about the property I had, if it was something they were not sure of they were quick to reply to me.
We highly recommend Dave Hamlyn if you are buying or selling real estate in the Central Auckland area. He has consistently kept in touch since our first contact many years ago, so we entrusted him to market our Newmarket apartment in what can only be described as a very difficult buyers market. He provided comparable sales so we could make an informed decision re price, did open homes on both Saturday and Sunday and always reported back immediately afterwards. He kept us up to date with any fresh interest and was very helpful with the myriad of red tape Body Corp information that was required. He is unfailingly polite and easy to deal with and the price he achieved was higher than we expected.
Fast and proactive. Dave Hamlyn.
Agent was a registered valuer who is currently working as an agent. He did everything right, knew his subject, no hassle, without requiring any prompting or direction. Pleasure to work with unlike other agents I have come across in the past. Would recommend him to anyone and would certainly use him again
Dave was excellent, worked with us and kept us informed all the way which we appreciated
Your agent, Dave, was very helpful and proactive. Wasted no time in organising the marketing and essentially found us a buyer in one week. Dave was exceptional in going out of his way to ensure the sale went through. We are very pleased with Bayleys performance.
Easy, professional and efficient
Professional, respectful
Our experience with Dave Hamlyn was excellent. He made the whole process of selling very straightforward and communicated with us at every stage. At all times he looked after our interests and understood our position and our expectations. He was professional in all his dealings and would be the best real estate person I have ever experienced.
Dave Hamlyn is knowledgeable and organised. He put a lot of time and work into selling my apartment and was always ready to answer questions. His advice was sound and I am pleased with the result.
Dave Hamlyn gave us full details of our options and always kept us informed. He was very efficient, contacting prospective buyers and dealing with our solicitor. We didn't have to do a thing. He just got on and sold the property for us and dealt with all the administration. A very easy process, especially considering that we live a great distance from Auckland.
It was an absolute pleasure to work with Wendy and Dave for the sale of our Sugartree apartment. This was our first property sale and after a rocky start with another estate agent, we were sceptical about how much support we would receive. From day one, Wendy and Dave were open, honest and committed to marketing our property and doing everything they could to find the right buyer. Importantly for me, they treated me and my husband equally which had not been the case with our previous agent who believed the man was the only decision maker worth talking to! They kept us fully informed about progress without overloading us with details and were very accommodating to our time and work locations when it came down to closing the sale. It would have been easy to justify their enthusiasm based on the commission they would receive from the sale, but we felt that there was more to it than just money with Wendy and Dave. We really felt that they cared about us and the opportunities the sale of this property would bring to us and our young family.
To Whom It May Concern Ours was an estate sale and so the option of holding the property for an extended period of time was not available it had to be sold. I engaged Dave Hamlyn of Bayleys as he had a good track record of success selling apartments in our building despite it having a substantial remedial weather tightness project pending in the near future. Dave Hamlyn met me on site and talked confidently but realistically I felt about his assessment of the value of the estate apartment. He is a qualified valuer which gives him additional authority in that respect I think. Dave suggested an auction solution and he and Wendy Nichols took the time to come and see me and take me through the agency agreement clause by clause and answer any questions I had. There were two executors of the estate so they had to keep both of us informed throughout. Dave and Wendy suggested several options for a marketing programme from which we chose an option – the associated photography was I think exceptional. Dave and Wendy ran four weeks of open homes reporting to us in detail after each one with both phone calls and emails. They followed up open home attendees and qualified them as potential auction bidders. They also canvassed Bayleys existing extensive database of property investors. On auction day we had as they had predicted two bidders and a successful auction given our circumstances. I would recommend Dave Hamlyn and Wendy Nichols if you want to sell an apartment. Regards
Hello Dave and Wendy Thank you very much for your awesome work to sell our apartment. As you know, our building has significant weather tightness issues, with a large repair cost planned. Thanks to your experience with the building, you were able to gather four legitimate bidders to attend my auction, and even turned up a fifth bidder on the day. This process resulted in a competitive bidding process from well-informed investors. The result was a very acceptable price for me. I found you both to be very sincere in your efforts, working tirelessly with all interested investors. You kept us very well-informed, and were very open to our ideas. We found your interaction to be straight forward and very professional. Although we had not met you before, we came to trust you 100% as we could clearly see you are both very sincere, trying to get the best result for all parties. The sale process via auction went ahead exactly as you had planned. Your recommended auctioneer was expert in encouraging all bidders, and making use of our reserve price at an opportune time to maintain the bidding momentum. We endorse you 100% to any other property owners looking for a successful sale process. Best regards
I really can’t recommend Dave and Wendy highly enough. They gave us incredible help and support during a very difficult time for our family. We needed to sell a deceased estate at a time when that was the last thing we wanted to think about. They guided us through the necessary steps, took care of all the detail and kept in regular contact throughout. They achieved a great result for us in what was a very complicated sale. On top of that, they were unfailingly warm and kind - huge thanks!
We would like to say what a great team Dave and Wendy are, we would like to thank them for the sale of our Apartment at the Heritage. We found them to be honest and friendly and very easy to work alongside.
Hi Dave We would like to thank you for the recent sale of our apartment under quite difficult circumstances. We appreciated the great communication at every stage of the process and your professional and friendly manner. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend you and wish you all the best. Thanks again Dave Kind regards
Hi Dave Just a quick mail to say thank you very much for your excellent service, persevering with a difficult sale, keeping me up to date regularly, getting the job done, and always being friendly. Thank you for going the extra mile. Kind regards
Bob and I are happy to provide this reference for your website. We were very impressed with the speed and professionalism with which Dave and Walt negotiated the successful sale of our city apartment. They were a pleasure to deal with and made the process seamless and stress-free for us as vendors.
Dear Dave and Walt, Thank you for the work that you did for us in securing the sale of our apartment. We found you both to be professional, courteous, and tireless in bringing about a successful sale. We would definitely recommend you to others and we would use you again. Thanks once again for all your hard work Best wishes,
Wendy and Dave as the owner of unit XXX in the Heritage hotel pool I would personally like to thank you both over the sale of the unit with Bayleys. The sale happened well within the allocated time of selling an apartment in the CBD, as the owner I found you both very professional, friendly, easy to work with and most importantly you both had my best interests at heart in achieving the best results for both parties. Thank you both for a stress free smooth transition with the sales process and for listening and believing that being in the hotel pool had benefits for the current owner and advantages to the new owner in buying the property. Appreciate all your hard professional work in achieving a very exceptional result, and look forward to working with you both again in selling another unit in the heritage hotel pool selling these quality apartments.
Thank you, much appreciate for your professional services, and wish you all the best. Kind regards
