"We first observed Carolyn's approach to selling houses when we visited one of her open homes and she was truly a standout versus the 15 other open homes we had been through that weekend. Attention to detail, friendliness, professionalism, speed in response, and the right amount of hunger for a sale were all attributes we immediately noticed and wanted from agents we would sell our home with."

Carolyn was very professional, an excellent communicator and achieved a sale without us having to go to market. She also helped us with hands on work and expertise in meeting some of the challenging conditions that were required to achieve the sale. She also had a network of people that we called upon to successfully help us achieve the conditions we needed to. I have a healthy dislike of paying commission to real estate agents but in this case, I am very happy to pay it. This was a first class performance. Marcus Rudkin
We had the pleasure of working with Carolyn Ryan on the sale of our family home, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Selling a house while living in a different time zone and from the other side of the world could have been incredibly difficult but Carolyn’s expertise, dedication, and professionalism were truly exceptional and made the process very straightforward. Carolyn went above and beyond to market our property effectively and efficiently, resulting in a quick and profitable sale at auction. Carolyn’s attention to detail, knowledge and seamless communication throughout the entire process relieved our nerves and resulted in us selling our house at a price we were incredibly happy with. If you're looking for a top-notch real estate agent, I wholeheartedly recommend Carolyn for her outstanding service and excellent results.
Carolyn gave our home the absolute best care and attention possible, marketing it professionally and maximising our chances of success. In short we are thrilled with the result and can’t say thank you enough to Carolyn and her team.
Just a note to say a massive thank you for your unwavering commitment for selling our home. We are happy with the result which wouldn't have happened without your incredible hard work and dedication. We really have appreciated your absolute professionalism and patience (with us!) throughout the whole process and your exceptional negotiation skills to get us where we needed to be. We have loved working with you over the past few months and are very grateful for the way you navigated us through the selling journey. Many thanks again.
Took ownership of selling our house and did a fantastic job.
Carolyn acted as our professional and trusted advisor throughout the entire process of getting our house ready for market, right through to on-the-day auction strategies. She offered excellent advice, put in a huge amount of effort to attract potential buyers, and was genuine in her desire for us to achieve the best outcome. Thanks, team - you were great!
From start to finish, Carolyn made us feel at ease with the selling process. We had complete trust in her and were so pleased with the result come auction day. Would highly recommend.
When selling our Remuera family home we could not of been happier with the service Carolyn provided. She navigated our sale with true professionalism. Her highly tuned communication gave us confidence throughout the campaign with a very pleasing end result. We are eternally grateful to you and the whole Bayleys team including marketing, legal and management services who supported the sale beautifully. Thank you.
Friendly and reliable promotion of a very difficult property.
Carolyn Ryan was awesome. She was extremely responsive and no question was ever a problem. Overall the team kept us informed of progress on our new build (which we’d bought off-plan) from the time we signed up all the way through to settlement and even after. Carolyn couldn’t have been more helpful and, when needed, she happily shared her professional insights and views which were always well balanced and thought through. They made the process very easy and I would definitely use them again.
We sold our home with Carolyn and could not be happier with the level of service and professionalism. Getting a house ready for sale (at speed) can be daunting by Carolyn made it super easy and had all the right contacts for getting the house ship-shape. She was highly communicative at each step along the way so we always felt in the loop with progress. In the end we had a swift sale and a good price, and an excellent overall experience.
I appreciated the professional approach, the commitment to achieve the best possible outcome for me. Great to work with and I would recommend.
Thank you all so much for all your help, assistance and guidance over the last 4 months. It's certainly been an education at times, and thanks to your "hand holding" those instances which should have been extremely stressful were only partly, and we made it through. Together, you've all been a great team to work with, and will be truly recommended to everybody and anybody looking to move in around the Eastern Bays.
We just wanted to say a big thank you for the easy sales campaign and successful outcome on Bellus. We really appreciated the time and commitment you put in to achieve the final result, you did a great job and we also feel very happy for the buyer.
Amazing and professional service.
I had a wonderful experience from the beginning. Bayleys were totally professional in their approach to the whole sales process. I had never sold a property before by auction and after everything was explained to me, including watching a video from the Auctioneer, I felt confident that this was the best option for me. I was not disappointed and got a very fair price, a result of the excellent work of Carolyn Ryan.
Carolyn was so professional and friendly. We felt really supported through our sale campaign and knew she was happy to answer any questions for us. Carolyn went above and beyond to ensure we got the results we wanted.
To say that my family and I are grateful to Bayleys Real Estate for selling our property is totally inadequate. Avoiding effusive language is not easy. Early in 2023 my wife died of Motor Neuron Disease. As a result of caring for her I was exhausted and ineffective. Despite good experience with Bayley's competitors, I was persuaded by Brooke Willoughby to engage Bayleys Real Estate to sell our property. The market was weak; properties in the village routinely sold after 9 months on the market, in good times. Mitch and Carolyn stepped in. After a flawless campaign, which they predicted would last 2 months, we had a buyer at our price. Their gentle and compassionate, yet determined, approach to the selling process was impressive. We have nothing but praise for Mitch, Carolyn and Bayleys for their truly excellent achievement.
We first observed Team Carolyn and Mitch`s approach to selling houses when we visited one of their open homes and they were truly standouts versus the 15 other open homes we had been through that weekend. Attention to detail, friendliness, professionalism, speed in response and the right amount of hunger for a sale were all attributes we immediately noticed and wanted from agents we would register with to sell our home. We got all of that and more from specific guidance on preparing for sale, accurate valuations and advice and assistance in selecting the best marketing campaign to deliver results. Results were well and truly delivered from the start of the campaign right through to the end with unprecedented numbers through the doors all getting that great service that we had experienced from Carolyn, Mitch and Camille. The success of this group I believe stems from the fact that you have a well-balanced team where everyone has their area of expertise and can leverage that for the common goal. I wouldn't have any second thoughts recommending Team Carolyn and Mitch to anyone thinking of selling their home.
Selling a home from overseas could have been stressful, but Carolyn Ryan and Mitch Owens managed the process beautifully and got us an exceptional result. Their recommendations on the campaign were spot on, and we felt involved every step of the way. Their attention to detail meant we didn’t feel nervous not being there ourselves, and their communication and professionalism made the journey enjoyable. We highly recommend their services.
Carolyn was lovely to deal with, always ready to answer my questions and went the extra mile
Our house sale was quite a complicated project with two houses on unit titles, potential development constraints from volcanic view shafts and more. Carolyn approached it very professionally, explaining all the various options and implications. Her town planning experience and tenacity to get to the bottom of seemingly contradictory regulations was worth gold, opening up the properties as a valid proposition for development. We have felt fully supported and are sure we wouldn't have got the result we did without Carolyn's involvement.
Professional and friendly, was across all the details which helped us make informed decisions.

There are several methods of selling property in New Zealand. It is important that you understand the process for the property you are selling.
Auction
Auctions are a public process where a property is sold to the highest bidder at a level pre-determined by you, the seller.
Tender
Usually set over a specific four-or-five week timeframe, the tender process leverages the timeframe element to invite buyers to submit a formal offer. After this, you can negotiate the terms of the sale with your preferred purchaser.
Expressions of interest
Expressions of interest invite all offers from interested parties, allowing flexibility and the option to choose who you want to negotiate with.
By negotiation
Properties offered for sale by negotiation leave value to be determined by the market. This is where the advice and experience of your qualified Bayleys salesperson can assist in determining where you see value for the property and are comfortable accepting an offer. Sales by negotiation are generally open-ended, with the absence of time pressure on both buyers and sellers.
