Dale Sholson

Waterfront, Coastal and Lifestyle Sales

Executive beachfront homes, modern Waterways canal frontage properties right through to 45 year old untouched original baches, the SOLD signs speak for themselves. Dale is proud to be part of the Bayleys’ team servicing the Whangamata, Pauanui, Whirtoa and Onemana areas catering for permanent residents and holidaymakers alike.

Real estate professional Dale Sholson knows the Pauanui and Whangamata areas like the back of his hand. He’s lived here for over 19 years and knows what makes these markets tick. His dedication to the local area is evident in the fact that Dale has spent many years serving as a volunteer fire fighter in Pauanui and senior coastguard crew member for Tairua-Pauanui Coastguard. This has seen him presented with the New Zealand Fire Brigade’s Long Service and Good Conduct Medal, a meritorious award for members of recognised fire services in New Zealand who have completed 14 years of service. This speaks volumes of Dale’s personal traits of honesty, trustworthiness and dedication – traits that his real estate clients also benefit from as Dale assists them to buy and sell homes.

Standing up for what is right is important for Dale and he is always willing to challenge something if he doesn't think it’s correct, meaning his clients can have full confidence that he is looking out for their best interests at all times. Practical and hard working, Dale’s aim is always to create a win-win for both parties in any real estate transaction.

Repeat business is the ultimate accolade. Dale lives in Pauanui and outside of work he enjoys spending time with family and indulging his love of classic and muscle cars, wood fired cooking, fishing and boating.

I had the pleasure of working with Dale Sholson to sell my property, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the service they provided. From our very first meeting, Dale demonstrated exceptional professionalism, a deep understanding of the market, and a clear strategy for selling my home at the best price. What truly stood out was Dale's attention to detail and the personalized approach he took to ensure my property was marketed effectively. They coordinated everything from photography/video to hosting open homes and private showings, making the entire process as smooth as possible. I appreciated their proactive communication, keeping me informed every step of the way. Throughout the entire transaction, they were always available to answer my questions, provide expert advice, and ensure I understood the next steps. What impressed me most was their integrity and commitment to achieving the best outcome for me as a seller. I felt confident in their expertise and trusted them completely throughout the entire process. If you're looking to sell your home, I highly recommend Dale, his professionalism, market knowledge, and dedication to clients is unmatched. Thank you, Dale, for making this experience so positive and successful!

Our home had been on the market with other agents for some time prior to our first meeting but there had been little enquiry and poor feedback.  It seemed that they had run out of ideas, enthusiasm and inspiration, and had been content to maintain the listing without critical thinking.   Enter Dale and Gordon!   We recognised that the market was small and sluggish but at our first meeting you showed us not only an immediate plan but a longer-term strategy:  There were time-targets for 'right now'; plans for 'what's next'; ideas for future marketing.   From the very beginning we felt that we were part of the marketing and sales team; that at its centre was your strategy to communicate constantly with us - keeping us in the loop with information and presentation tips.   Importantly, you recognised our efforts to present well, and never failed to compliment us on our efforts.  We well remember Gordon's dry observation as he glanced around the front entry, "Spiders know they don't have a chance around here!"  These things meant a great deal to our ability to maintain our focus on onerous tasks.   Further, the involvement of your Principal who came to see us with you, showed us, not only that he was maintaining pressure on you to work hard for a sale, but that he was willing to assist the effort by creating wider-market options such as your national publication. His eye for detail also pointed out a few simple 'maintenance' issues that we could easily fix once we recognised their importance.   This strengthened our feeling that there was actually a larger 'team behind the team' working with us.   Once you found our elusive potential buyer you made sure we kept our hopes up by increasing communication even when the news was less than we wanted to hear.   Finally, a quick mention about your integrity.  You showed us early-on that you would not compromise your principles by tipping your hand on potential buyers; that their discussions with you were private, and while you would keep us informed - we would not be privy to detail.  This gave us confidence that in similar fashion you would not leak in the other direction either, and that we wouldn't find ourselves in a disadvantageous position in crunch-time negotiations.   We sold our house!  But we are all aware of who did the heavy lifting!   Heroyam slava. Nga mihi, regards,

The purpose of this note is to acknowledge a great team of Karl and Dale in the marketing and selling of our property in Pauanui. After having many dealings with different agents over many years, I found Karl and Dale to be a style above the rest. They both showed good knowledge of what they were selling and kept us up to date with progress on possible buyers. They created a master stroke with bringing the auction forward which created a great result. We look forward to working with them again.

great service and follow up.

I got to know Dale Sholson in his capacity as the licensed salesperson for Bayleys real estate in Thames. I have recently purchased a Pauanui beachfront property through Dale and was so impressed with his work ethic during the process that I also engaged him to transact the sale and marketing process to sell our existing beach front property in Pauanui. Dales market knowledge and his willingness to spend quality time with us, the client, during the process was extremely helpful and beneficial, resulting in successful sale and purchase agreements being quickly completed. I would have no hesitation in recommending Dale to anyone wishing to work with a highly competent sales professional in the property field and I would certainly use his services again. It is my understanding the two transactions completed were among the most significant sale and purchases ever completed in Pauanui and Dale’s ability and professional help to make that happen cannot be over stated. I would therefore highly recommend his services.

They kept me informed of what was happening every step of the way. Very happy with results.
