We have worked with Ben twice over the last 9 year to find office premises. We have a unique set of requirements and he did a truly outstanding job both times in helping us find the perfect premises for us. On top of that he is genuinely a pleasure to deal with. He is easy going, responsive and provides very honest views without ever being pushy. We would highly recommend Ben for both finding the right premises and providing great advice and support through the process. He made a hard search easy!

Sarah Naudé (Propero Consulting Limited)

Ben is outstanding at closing leasing deals, where others have failed. Ben has the intuition to structure an Agreement to Lease in such a way that suits the requirements of both tenant and landlord. We look forward to working with Ben on an ongoing basis.

Colin Botica (Via Centro)

Ben was exceptional assistance to us exiting an unusual lease situation and sourcing a new commercial premises for our office. Having been involved with commercial premises for 20 years in many countries I can say Ben was easily one of the very best I have dealt with. Why? – Focus on details, returned calls, professional and really took the time to understand our situation – top shelf.

Adrian McFedries (Zib Digital)

Ben did an amazing job in finding a long-term tenant for a commercial tenancy that had been vacant for about eight months. Ben quickly understood all the key aspects of the property and what we were looking for in a tenant. Ben’s a very fast and focussed professional and the signed contract was all secured and wrapped up in just over one week from the first inspection! Happy landlord and happy tenant!

Brett McMillan (Reddy Group)

Over the last 25 years of being in business, I’ve leased many buildings around NZ. Since engaging Ben Wallace for the first time 8 years ago, I’ve had such a good experience that whenever I have a leasing or subleasing requirement, he is the first person I always call. Ben is always prompt, reliable and a pleasure to deal with. He has an ability to deliver quality tenants on time, every time even when the market is weak and an understanding of the subtleties required that go into closing a deal. For me he has a winning balance of warmth & professionalism combined with a top quality network of business contacts. I would have no hesitation recommending Ben to assist you with any leasing needs in Auckland.

Semele Miller (Collective Hospitality Limited)

Ben has acted as the leasing agent for our commercial office tenancies since 2018. For us the important thing is that he has a clear understanding of what we are looking for in commercial tenants. He has extensive experience of partnering Tenants and Landlords to achieve successful outcomes. We are very impressed with his professionalism and level of competence in the field of commercial leasing, and in our view, he facilitates tenant placement, through his real estate knowledge, dependable business ethics and personal integrity to provide solutions that are mutually beneficial to all parties involved. We expect to have an ongoing relationship with Ben for our leasing solutions in the future.

Alphero asked Bayley's to support the hunt for a new office. During this process Ben was one of the agents that patiently helped us look around Auckland. We loved working with Ben, his optimism and enthusiasm made our search better and he was always willing to meet anywhere, anytime. He understood what we were looking for and stopped us from wasting time looking at unsuitable properties - a game changer for a busy business. We appreciated his professionalism and friendliness. We'd recommend him for any agency looking for some new premises.

Viv Baartman (Alphero)

Ben Wallace from Bayleys is night and day above the other leasing agents that I dealt with when looking to secure our new office space. He always picks up the phone, he has excellent communication and really worked hard for all parties in the negotiation of the lease.

James Ashwin (Kakapo Business Sales)

The Mansons have conducted several transactions with Ben over the years, and his dedication to his craft has been consistently evident on every occasion. It comes as no surprise that Ben is regarded as one of the top leasing brokers in the country, and we would not hesitate to recommend his services.

Culum Manson (Mansons TCLM)

Ben did a great job securing a quality tenant in a market where finalising deals is challenging. Ben is a great agent in that he knows the market and knows the triggers for each party to ensure a deal can proceed on terms that work for everyone. Further, it was great to have an agent who could easily share relevant experience and comparable deals on the spot. I would highly recommend using Ben for any leasing needs in Auckland as he has the network and skills to get a deal done but is a great guy while doing it too, which certainly makes the process more enjoyable for all.
