With strong roots in the Bay of Plenty and a proven track record in lifestyle real estate, award-winning agent Riki Walls has built a reputation for hard work, genuine relationships and a highly personal approach to property.
Having established himself successfully within the lifestyle market, Riki has expanded his services to include residential property - bringing the same energy, premium marketing and commitment to achieving exceptional results to a broader range of homeowners.
While lifestyle property remains a key area of expertise, Riki's focus now extends across both lifestyle and residential real estate, with particularly strong connections throughout Omokoroa, Te Puna, Pahoia, Katikati and the wider Western Bay of Plenty and Tauranga markets.
Riki's property experience extends well beyond his real estate career. He has personally bought and sold residential, lifestyle and rural properties throughout the Bay of Plenty and has undertaken property development and subdivision, giving him valuable first-hand insight into property ownership, development and the sales process.
Before entering real estate, Riki spent more than 20 years in business ownership and management within the hospitality industry. That experience helped shape the energetic, approachable and people-focused style he brings to real estate today, while building an extensive network of relationships throughout the Bay of Plenty.
For Riki, community involvement is an important part of both work and family life. Together with his wife Becks and their three children, the family has strong connections throughout Omokoroa and the wider Western Bay community through local schools, college, sport and community organisations.
Riki is heavily involved in football and cricket through coaching, sponsorship and volunteer work, and regularly supports and helps drive fundraising initiatives for local teams, schools and community causes. When time allows, you'll also find Riki on the golf course with his boys - another part of the local sporting community he and his family enjoy being involved in.
These connections aren't simply part of Riki's business - they're part of everyday family life. They have helped him build an extensive local network and a genuine understanding of the people, families and communities he represents.
Known for his work ethic, positive personality and ability to connect with people from all walks of life, Riki combines premium marketing, strong negotiation and the reach of the Bayleys brand with a personal commitment to every client and every property.
Whether it's a family home, premium residence or lifestyle property, Riki's approach remains the same: work hard, communicate openly, market exceptionally and do everything possible to achieve the best result for his clients.
