Slide 1 of 37

It was a service and result that exceeded our expectations.

Neil Joseph Mclaughlin and Sally Grace Mclaughlin

Agent was professional and achieved what was discussed and everything went smooth and easy.

Gareth and Sarah Weston

We loved working with Richard and Rebecca when selling our much loved home. They paid such attention to detail with the marketing and presented it perfectly. They were both really professional, it put our minds at ease when selling, and with just a short six weeks on the market we were sold. We couldn’t have done it without them! Thank you Richard and Rebecca, we appreciate all that you did for us.

Nate and Serena Ross

We are honestly so so glad we ended up having Richard and Rebecca sell our place. As first time sellers, we could have made some pretty big “rookie” mistakes. We ended up completely trusting them to make all the selling decisions and couldn’t be happier with the result. They really listen and are genuine in wanting to help you. They even came to a non-Bayleys property open home when we were looking to buy again and gave crucial advice the morning of an auction (that we then chose to pass on) and helped us get our dream house a week later. I recommend them to all my friends and colleagues at school.

Kate Spencer

Great, honest, realistic, sale-focused agents with a great network that creates a higher success rate for a seller!

Rebecca Roe

Richard was great. Made the process easy and transparent, wasn't too in your face but answered any questions I had quickly.

Kane Morison

Richard, Rebecca and their support team were professional, friendly, personable and informative making the whole selling by auction experience very easy for us. At no stage was there any pressure or stress, we were kept fully informed on progress and interest in our open homes. Any questions and inquiries were dealt with immediately. Ours was a dual tenanted property and both our tenants were particularly happy how the Wrights managed open homes and visits around their circumstances. We were well informed with how the auction process would work and they made the auction day stress-less for us. We would only use Richard and Rebecca Wright for any other future real estate transactions and would thoroughly recommend them to anyone contemplating buying or selling your home.

Steve and Trudi Neil

Realestate expertise, market knowledge, sound advice and an actual sale got you to an 8.5. What took it to a 10 was genuine care and going the extra mile to help make it the sale process as painless as possible.

Sheena Henderson and Charlotte Walshe

Richard and Rebecca did a fantastic job of selling our home. Richard was well in tune with what was happening in the local market and his advice on likely sales range was spot on. They did a very professional job with our open homes and their reporting over the sales process was excellent. Both Richard and Rebecca have a low-key and friendly approach that helps them engage well with buyers. At all times we felt that they were managing the process in a way that would achieve a successful outcome for us. We were delighted with the result achieved for our sale and would definitely use Richard and Rebecca again.

Paul and Sam Tustin

Thank-you very much to Richard and Rebecca Wright. When I first meet Rebecca at an open home, she came across very professional, honest, trusting and straight away I took a liking to her. A lovely person and always positive with her communications. Richard had the experience for some hard price negotiating, due to repair work needed from a building inspection. He worked hard on negotiating and we ended up buying the property. When it came time for us to sell our investment property we knew we needed "The Dream Team." Rebecca worked hard to bring the buyers to Auction and Richard worked hard to bring us our price on the day. I would highly Recommend Richard and Rebecca Wright, whether you intend to go to Auction or sell by negotiation, I'm sure there will be smiles all round.

Jan Doolan

Richard and Rebecca are the ultimate professionals who are equally down to earth and approachable. We sold via auction during a challenging time for sellers. The communication and hard work from Richard and Rebecca during this time was faultless. It was great to have the experience and confidence from the team to walk me through my first sale and auction. I would highly recommend working with Richard and Rebecca.

Mikaere October

Richard and Rebecca Wright were absolutely amazing to deal with as both a seller and a buyer. The sale of our property at auction went smoothly and successfully despite the current market. Rebecca encouraged me to view my new property, despite my initial reservations. Richard then helped me through auction process, which I won, and I couldn't be happier. Highly recommend.

Sue Fisher

We have used Richard and Rebecca three times - two selling and one buying. Every time we have found them both excellent agents to work with. Highly recommended.

Peter and Lyn Anderson

Richard was professional, friendly and approachable and he gave us ample time to view potential homes. He carefully listened to our preferences and directed us to the house that suited our needs best. We would not hesitate in recommending Richard to any of our friends.

Lyn and Gordon Strong

Our experience with Richard and Rebecca was brilliant. We were very impressed by their professionalism, and their outstanding marketing proposal reassured us that selling with Team Wright would be a positive move. Richard has an exceptional knowledge of the Mount Maunganui market and always communicated honestly with us. We were led through the auction process clearly and were delighted to sell on auction day with a great result. We are very happy with all our services we received from Richard and Rebecca and the Bayleys Mount Maunganui team. We thoroughly recommend selling with Team Wright.

Nick and Megan Beamish

We have dealt with Richard on both sides of the property coin. Firstly in a very heated market, Richard had the utmost patience showing us innumerable properties before we finally purchased in Mount Maunganui. His local knowledge of the market and community is outstanding. Secondly, Richard and Rebecca had the challenge of selling our property in a declining market and in a timely manner. We achieved the best possible outcome and believe the purchaser will be very happy there. We would recommend Richard and Rebecca to anyone looking to buy or sell - plus they are just genuinely lovely people.

Jock and Linda Wilson

Rebecca and Richard were a pleasure to work with. They listened to my needs and wants and introduced me to my perfect home in terms of my extensive check list. As always, there were a few unexpected curve balls which they handled in their stride to achieve the best possible result for me. They are true professionals who are thorough and diligent and I cant recommend them highly enough for anyone looking to sell their existing home or buy their future dream home.

Matt James

Richard and Rebecca had the task of selling our house just as the market slumped! Although we wouldn't budge on price much, they got the job done with positive professional attitudes and it was an overall great experience for us. They work well as a team and we would highly recommend their services to those wanting to buy or sell.

Shaun and Elle Marshall

Richard and Rebecca were a pleasure to work with from the beginning, very patient and accommodating, and did a great job selling my property in a challenging market!

Rebecca Doidge

I have recently had the pleasure of dealing with Richard and Rebecca Wright regarding the Estate sale of my father in laws house. They were both friendly, caring and very positive. I particularly enjoyed being kept up to date with both the marketing and pre sale details. Their extensive knowledge of the market, and sound advice led to an excellent sale result. I thoroughly recommend them.

Geoff Bruce

We purchased a property from Richard in a downward market which can be challenging. Richard is a total professional and displayed honesty, integrity and tenacity throughout the entire process and was willing to work patiently with both parties to achieve a successful result. Great communication and feedback without ever being pushy. A fabulous agent to work with!

Nicole Rennie

Knowing Richard on a personal level, we approached him for some advice when we saw a place we wanted to buy. Richard went out of his way to facilitate that process. He seamlessly guided us through the purchase / auction and his advice at every step was on point. We appreciate the time and effort that Richard put in to get us locked into the Mount!

Luke and Vivienne Faithfull

Working with Richard has been a breeze, he constantly kept me up to date with progress, communicated between myself and the vendor in an extremely timely manner, and made the purchase process super simple.

John Bing

We are very grateful for Richard and Rebecca's assistance in the marketing and sale of our property. During the sale process the market changed quite dramatically and it was good to be able to follow their advice and adapt as necessary. They were both very helpful and made a somewhat stressful situation as painless as possible.

Tony and Helen Baker

Richard and Rebecca are a real pleasure to work with and they went the extra mile to help us with our property purchase at the Mount. Very happy!

Chris and Mandy van Schagen

I just want to thank you again for all you did to bring about the successful sale of my home. You truly did go the extra mile. I will never forget coming home from visiting a friend and finding the lawn being mowed. You truly went above and beyond!!

Isobel Tume

We were very fortunate to have Richard and Rebecca Wright referred to us to sell our home at 43 Matene Place, Papamoa and from our first meeting we found them both a pleasure to deal with. If you want the job done 'Wright' call Richard and Rebecca.

Ronald and Hine Burgess

Richard and Rebecca Wright recently sold our house in Welcome Bay. From the beginning of the sale process right through to settlement date, we found them both to be clear and concise in their explanations, excellent at keeping us informed as to any developments and available to answer any questions we had. They were adamant we should "trust the process" even when we didn't initially get the interest we were expecting. We highly recommend them as agents and will be sure to use them again.

Mark McTamney

I had visited a couple of homes Richard and Rebecca had on the market and they were very informative and spot on with estimates of market value. Rebecca then took me around to show what was on the market at the time and what I could expect to buy for my price range. When I listed my property with them, they understood what I wanted, their campaign was brilliant and any queries I had at any time were answered immediately. We worked together. I would use them again without hesitation and highly recommend them to anyone wishing to sell or buy. Just brilliant.

Deborah Wilkinson

I have just had a very positive experience in my dealings with Richard Wright from Bayleys Real Estate. I made contact with Richard after deciding to sell my apartment in Mount Maunganui and we entered into a 1 month Auction campaign with a positive sale at auction. Richard was the most relaxed and professional agent I have had the pleasure of working with. He marketed my property brilliantly, the photos and movie were so good I nearly decided to keep it. He kept in touch regularly with updates and information and was always available if I had any concerns. He once said let me do the worrying which helped to make me feel very relaxed through the campaign. I believe as a vendor he really worked hard for me to get the best price we could get, I was more than happy with the result. To finish the day Richard and his lovely wife were quick to provide a glass of bubbles to celebrate. If you are considering selling a property I would highly recommend Richard as a great agent who will work for you, and get the best result.

Rosie Herbert

Richard went above and beyond in helping us find a home, especially as we lived in another city. Nothing seemed to faze him and he was extremely helpful, even going to houses doing a walk through video call and having to go measure up for appliances as we couldnt get there due to covid restrictions. He found us the perfect home and were loving our new lifestyle in Papamoa. Thank you for everything Richard, we really appreciate you.

Clyde and Chris Terry

I knew Richard was the guy for the job of selling my apartment right from the very first interview. He was focused and energetic, he worked efficiently throughout the process for myself, the vendor, but knew that his real effort had to go into the prospective buyers. His attention to detail was outstanding, matters were brought to my attention in a timely manner and I was kept informed at every step along the way. This is a top guy who will get you top dollar for your property, backed up by a great team.

Felicity McGrath

It is our pleasure to submit a testimonial for Richard Wright of Bayleys Real Estate. Through the whole process, he has been a delight to deal with. His professionalism exceeds any real estate agents we have dealt with in the past. From the first stage of viewing, then answering follow up questions promptly and providing relevant information right through to telephone bidding at the auction which Richard personally handled. At no time did we feel under pressure. We felt looked after and trusted in Richard's guidance which resulted in securing our desired holiday property. We would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone who would like honesty, integrity and all-round excellent service.

Bev and Colin

Thank you Richard Wright for selling our home and exceeding our expectations! Richard went above and beyond - hes a breath of fresh air. Selling can be a stressful experience but working with an honest and experienced agent meant it was a simple and exciting process. It started with Richard supporting us through how to best present our home, to providing us with an accurate valuation and finally a successful sale at auction. We appreciated the constant communication and feedback throughout the marketing campaign. Richard is a passionate and driven agent. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Amie Cross and Andrew Butler

I am pleased to report on the great relationship we developed with Richard during the sale of our property at 132B Marine Parade. We selected Richard after discussing the sale with him and other agents. As you will find he is very personable, an excellent listener and a genuine does what he says person. The sales process went well, and we were very pleased with the result. Communication was first rate and we have nothing but praise for the way he conducted himself and the sale. Highly recommended.

Ian and Leigh Steel

Thank you so much for all your hard work, patience and guidance that you have shown to us through the buying process. We are also so grateful for you going to the Auction for us, it really made all the difference. We are so excited to get the house and are really looking forward to planning the next step.

Richard and Angela Morbey

We engaged the services of Richard when we moved from Taupo to Tauranga recently. Coming from a small town to a big centre was daunting to say the least. It was a great source of reassurance to know that Richard knew the different areas of the Tauranga, Mount and Papamoa markets and was able to listen to what was important to us, and tailor a home to meet our needs. He was personable and able to liaise with other real estate agents to ensure we got to view a wide range of properties. It was a relief when he found a home that ticked all our boxes and was able to help us secure it at auction. We would have no qualms in recommending Richard to anyone who is in the market for either their first home, family home or investment property.

Tonya and Aaron Dowman

Rebecca worked hard to bring the buyers to Auction and Richard worked hard to bring us our price on the day. I would highly Recommend Richard and Rebecca Wright, whether you intend to go to Auction or sell by negotiation, I'm sure there will be smiles all round.

Jan Doolan

Richard and Rebecca are the ultimate professionals who are equally down to earth and approachable. We sold via auction during a challenging time for sellers. The communication and hard work from Richard and Rebecca during this time was faultless. It was great to have the experience and confidence from the team to walk me through my first sale and auction. I would highly recommend working with Richard and Rebecca.

Richard and Rebecca Wright were absolutely amazing to deal with as both a seller and a buyer. The sale of our property at auction went smoothly and successfully despite the current market. Rebecca encouraged me to view my new property, despite my initial reservations. Richard then helped me through auction process, which I won, and I couldn't be happier. Highly recommend.

Sue Fisher

We have used Richard and Rebecca three times - two selling and one buying. Every time we have found them both excellent agents to work with. Highly recommended.

Peter and Lyn Anderson

Richard was professional, friendly and approachable and he gave us ample time to view potential homes. He carefully listened to our preferences and directed us to the house that suited our needs best. We would not hesitate in recommending Richard to any of our friends.

Lyn and Gordon Strong

Our experience with Richard and Rebecca was brilliant. We were very impressed by their professionalism, and their outstanding marketing proposal reassured us that selling with Team Wright would be a positive move. Richard has an exceptional knowledge of the Mount Maunganui market and always communicated honestly with us. We were led through the auction process clearly and were delighted to sell on auction day with a great result. We are very happy with all our services we received from Richard and Rebecca and the Bayleys Mount Maunganui team. We thoroughly recommend selling with Team Wright.

Nick and Megan Beamish

We have dealt with Richard on both sides of the property coin. Firstly in a very heated market, Richard had the utmost patience showing us innumerable properties before we finally purchased in Mount Maunganui. His local knowledge of the market and community is outstanding. Secondly, Richard and Rebecca had the challenge of selling our property in a declining market and in a timely manner. We achieved the best possible outcome and believe the purchaser will be very happy there. We would recommend Richard and Rebecca to anyone looking to buy or sell - plus they are just genuinely lovely people.

Jock and Linda Wilson

Rebecca and Richard were a pleasure to work with. They listened to my needs and wants and introduced me to my perfect home in terms of my extensive check list. As always, there were a few unexpected curve balls which they handled in their stride to achieve the best possible result for me. They are true professionals who are thorough and diligent and I cant recommend them highly enough for anyone looking to sell their existing home or buy their future dream home.

Matt James

Richard and Rebecca had the task of selling our house just as the market slumped! Although we wouldn't budge on price much, they got the job done with positive professional attitudes and it was an overall great experience for us. They work well as a team and we would highly recommend their services to those wanting to buy or sell.

Shaun and Elle Marshall

Richard and Rebecca were a pleasure to work with from the beginning, very patient and accommodating, and did a great job selling my property in a challenging market!

Rebecca Doidge

I have recently had the pleasure of dealing with Richard and Rebecca Wright regarding the Estate sale of my father in laws house. They were both friendly, caring and very positive. I particularly enjoyed being kept up to date with both the marketing and pre sale details. Their extensive knowledge of the market, and sound advice led to an excellent sale result. I thoroughly recommend them.

Geoff Bruce

We purchased a property from Richard in a downward market which can be challenging. Richard is a total professional and displayed honesty, integrity and tenacity throughout the entire process and was willing to work patiently with both parties to achieve a successful result. Great communication and feedback without ever being pushy. A fabulous agent to work with!

Nicole Rennie

Knowing Richard on a personal level, we approached him for some advice when we saw a place we wanted to buy. Richard went out of his way to facilitate that process. He seamlessly guided us through the purchase / auction and his advice at every step was on point. We appreciate the time and effort that Richard put in to get us locked into the Mount!

Luke and Vivienne Faithfull

Working with Richard has been a breeze, he constantly kept me up to date with progress, communicated between myself and the vendor in an extremely timely manner, and made the purchase process super simple.

John Bing

We are very grateful for Richard and Rebecca's assistance in the marketing and sale of our property. During the sale process the market changed quite dramatically and it was good to be able to follow their advice and adapt as necessary. They were both very helpful and made a somewhat stressful situation as painless as possible.

Tony and Helen Baker

Richard and Rebecca are a real pleasure to work with and they went the extra mile to help us with our property purchase at the Mount. Very happy!

Chris and Mandy van Schagen

I just want to thank you again for all you did to bring about the successful sale of my home. You truly did go the extra mile. I will never forget coming home from visiting a friend and finding the lawn being mowed. You truly went above and beyond!!

Isobel Tume

We were very fortunate to have Richard and Rebecca Wright referred to us to sell our home at 43 Matene Place, Papamoa and from our first meeting we found them both a pleasure to deal with. If you want the job done 'Wright' call Richard and Rebecca.

Ronald and Hine Burgess

Richard and Rebecca Wright recently sold our house in Welcome Bay. From the beginning of the sale process right through to settlement date, we found them both to be clear and concise in their explanations, excellent at keeping us informed as to any developments and available to answer any questions we had. They were adamant we should "trust the process" even when we didn't initially get the interest we were expecting. We highly recommend them as agents and will be sure to use them again.

Mark McTamney

I had visited a couple of homes Richard and Rebecca had on the market and they were very informative and spot on with estimates of market value. Rebecca then took me around to show what was on the market at the time and what I could expect to buy for my price range. When I listed my property with them, they understood what I wanted, their campaign was brilliant and any queries I had at any time were answered immediately. We worked together. I would use them again without hesitation and highly recommend them to anyone wishing to sell or buy. Just brilliant.

Deborah Wilkinson

I have just had a very positive experience in my dealings with Richard Wright from Bayleys Real Estate. I made contact with Richard after deciding to sell my apartment in Mount Maunganui and we entered into a 1 month Auction campaign with a positive sale at auction. Richard was the most relaxed and professional agent I have had the pleasure of working with. He marketed my property brilliantly, the photos and movie were so good I nearly decided to keep it. He kept in touch regularly with updates and information and was always available if I had any concerns. He once said let me do the worrying which helped to make me feel very relaxed through the campaign. I believe as a vendor he really worked hard for me to get the best price we could get, I was more than happy with the result. To finish the day Richard and his lovely wife were quick to provide a glass of bubbles to celebrate. If you are considering selling a property I would highly recommend Richard as a great agent who will work for you, and get the best result.

Rosie Herbert

Richard went above and beyond in helping us find a home, especially as we lived in another city. Nothing seemed to faze him and he was extremely helpful, even going to houses doing a walk through video call and having to go measure up for appliances as we couldnt get there due to covid restrictions. He found us the perfect home and were loving our new lifestyle in Papamoa. Thank you for everything Richard, we really appreciate you.

Clyde and Chris Terry

I knew Richard was the guy for the job of selling my apartment right from the very first interview. He was focused and energetic, he worked efficiently throughout the process for myself, the vendor, but knew that his real effort had to go into the prospective buyers. His attention to detail was outstanding, matters were brought to my attention in a timely manner and I was kept informed at every step along the way. This is a top guy who will get you top dollar for your property, backed up by a great team.

Felicity McGrath

It is our pleasure to submit a testimonial for Richard Wright of Bayleys Real Estate. Through the whole process, he has been a delight to deal with. His professionalism exceeds any real estate agents we have dealt with in the past. From the first stage of viewing, then answering follow up questions promptly and providing relevant information right through to telephone bidding at the auction which Richard personally handled. At no time did we feel under pressure. We felt looked after and trusted in Richard's guidance which resulted in securing our desired holiday property. We would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone who would like honesty, integrity and all-round excellent service.

Bev and Colin

Thank you Richard Wright for selling our home and exceeding our expectations! Richard went above and beyond - hes a breath of fresh air. Selling can be a stressful experience but working with an honest and experienced agent meant it was a simple and exciting process. It started with Richard supporting us through how to best present our home, to providing us with an accurate valuation and finally a successful sale at auction. We appreciated the constant communication and feedback throughout the marketing campaign. Richard is a passionate and driven agent. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Amie Cross and Andrew Butler

I am pleased to report on the great relationship we developed with Richard during the sale of our property at 132B Marine Parade. We selected Richard after discussing the sale with him and other agents. As you will find he is very personable, an excellent listener and a genuine does what he says person. The sales process went well, and we were very pleased with the result. Communication was first rate and we have nothing but praise for the way he conducted himself and the sale. Highly recommended.

Ian and Leigh Steel

Thank you so much for all your hard work, patience and guidance that you have shown to us through the buying process. We are also so grateful for you going to the Auction for us, it really made all the difference. We are so excited to get the house and are really looking forward to planning the next step.

Richard and Angela Morbey

We engaged the services of Richard when we moved from Taupo to Tauranga recently. Coming from a small town to a big centre was daunting to say the least. It was a great source of reassurance to know that Richard knew the different areas of the Tauranga, Mount and Papamoa markets and was able to listen to what was important to us, and tailor a home to meet our needs. He was personable and able to liaise with other real estate agents to ensure we got to view a wide range of properties. It was a relief when he found a home that ticked all our boxes and was able to help us secure it at auction. We would have no qualms in recommending Richard to anyone who is in the market for either their first home, family home or investment property.
