Paula was exceptional throughout the entire process of selling our home. From the outset, she brought clarity, confidence, and a calm, strategic approach that made a complex and at times challenging situation feel manageable. Her communication was always timely and transparent, and she handled negotiations with professionalism and integrity while strongly advocating for us. What stood out most was her ability to remain composed under pressure and guide us through key decisions with sound advice and genuine care, particularly given the complexities involved. Terry was also an incredible support behind the scenes. Together, they went above and beyond, and their combined effort and commitment made a real difference. We achieved a fantastic result, and I have no doubt that Paula’s experience, supported by Terry, was instrumental in that outcome. I would highly recommend them.
I have had the delight of working with Paula several times over the past couple of years. Paula has sold two properties for me at auction in difficult markets, and has also assisted me with buying a property. On both occasions as my listing agent, Paula worked extremely hard - she is hugely dedicated and professional, we had great numbers through the open homes showing her marketing approach is spot on. I would happily recommend Paula to friends and family.
Choosing Paula Halford from Bayleys as our agent was the right decision. Paula worked tirelessly for us, and I think I can probably say for our buyers too. Paula demonstrated fair, open, and honest communication skills throughout our campaign. I would recommend Paula as your next agent as she was honest, respectful, hardworking, and achieving a fair result in a difficult Real Estate Market. Bayleys supported us in both the sale of our property in Mission Bay and with our new purchase at Jimmy's Point, Hobsonville.
Paula recently assisted me in the buying and selling of a property in Auckland. Throughout the entire process, Paula demonstrated exceptional professionalism, knowledge, and dedication. She was attentive to my needs and preferences and went above and beyond to ensure that I had a smooth and successful real estate transaction. Paula has a deep understanding of the local real estate market and was able to provide valuable insights and guidance. She was always available to answer my questions, address any concerns, and provide timely updates. She was prompt in responding to emails, phone calls, and text messages, and kept me informed every step of the way. Paula also demonstrated strong negotiation skills, advocating for my best interests and ensuring that I received the best possible outcome. Based on my experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Paula to anyone in need of a reliable and trustworthy real estate agent.
Paula and Louise were very professional and supportive, keeping us fully informed throughout the whole process. A pleasure to work with. Thank you. Linda
Thoroughness throughout the whole process
I would like to say a big thank you to Paula for her help in selling my mother’s home. As this was a deceased estate, it was not easy. Along with Louise, Paula looked after every part of the process with care, integrity and ability. Straightforward and professional in every way, they were a pleasure to deal with.

Thank you so much for your efforts on our behalf in completing the recent sale of our property at 13 Silica Mews, Stonefields. Your help and guidance along the way was much appreciated, especially in such a turbulent market, and with house prices still in an uncertain space. The professional manner in which you undertook the marketing phase and the house staging was key to the us achieving the desired result. We will certainly look to using your services and that of Bayleys again, in the event we are either buying or selling.
Peter Tanner & Paula Halford handled the sale of our property during a difficult time in the market. The marketing plan developed and the implementation of that plan was both professionally structured and effectively managed. At all times they were totally professional, and committed, and kept us well informed on market feedback and price expectations. They also provided valuable insight and counseling on the successful auction process which was very much appreciated. We would have no hesitation in recommending Peter, Paula, and Bayley's, to anyone considering selling their property.
We sold our apartment ahead of the set date for sale and we were really pleased with the outcome. Paula and Louise were critical to that. They were fantastic to deal with - the consummate professionals.
