Residential Sales

When it comes to buying and selling a home, for many it is the single most significant financial transaction they will ever undertake – and it should be treated accordingly. This is where a great agent comes in, treating you and your home with respect and putting maximum energy into preparing you for a truly successful sale. You only get one chance to get a premium price for your property, and I am here to help deliver exactly that.

Highly experienced in marketing and selling property throughout Greater Ponsonby and with a business degree also under my belt, I recognise the importance of market knowledge and complete professionalism, using a unique combination of the two to ensure my clients are delivered a first-class real estate experience and of course, results.

Working with Bayleys Ponsonby over the years, I have developed - and maintain - strong negotiation skills, as well as an intimate knowledge of the ever-changing market and solid relationships with so many of my clients. I work closely with clients to ensure they receive the right advice and the right strategy for their unique property, a bespoke service tailored exactly to their needs and their vision for a great end result.

I love living and selling in the inner central area, but also thrive on exploring greater Auckland and applying my skillset to a whole new market. Everyone I connect with will receive straight up advice, exceptional service, a targeted marketing plan and my full commitment to negotiating an outstanding result, every time.

It’s safe to say that it won't cost you any more to use a top agent - but it can cost you a lot if you don't. Let me show you what I can do.

I absolutely made the right decision to list my apartment with Jono King. It has been a faultless campaign with a very good result from the deadline sale. Jono has been tireless throughout. He is always professional, hardworking, charming, sincere and kind. And patient too! Jono has a very good handle on the Auckland apartment market with a pragmatic and respectful approach and a complete commitment to selling every listing he has. I am a very satisfied vendor. Many thanks Jono and best wishes for your continued success!

Jonathan Raos

Jono is a pleasure to work with. He works smart as well as hard. He is realistic and honest. He met all our needs and we trusted him completely. He is calm and committed. We knew that Jono would do the best by us and for all. We wouldn’t use anyone else other than Jono. Thanks Jono for a wonderful experience as well as a good result.

Sam & Dave

Jono was great to work with, my wife and I have no qualms asking basic queries, or asking his advice on a number of matters from like property pricing to location. He was very easy to deal with and always available to us. On Auction day he was authentic and as the purchaser, I didn’t feel pressured at all.

Fraser

We have purchased and sold through Jono King a few times now. He demonstrates very high levels of integrity and work ethic and communicated well through the entire process. The additional opens for inspections and most importantly securing an unconditional back up offer was thoroughly appreciated. I would engage Jono again when the need arises. Thank you.

Anonymous

Right from the outset Jono was professional, high energy, a great communicator and nothing was an issue for him. I was the buyer, Jono acted for the vendor but was very knowledgeable about the property he was selling, acted professionally, courteously and is all regards was the type of agent you would want to represent your property transaction. Thanks Jono

Aaron

I engaged Jono King due to having met him a few years ago when purchasing a property. From the moment of first contact Jono jumped into action, organising the marketing plan and photography sessions, and got my property listed and advertised within a few days. After three weekends of open homes and the following auction, I was delighted to see the property successfully sold on terms that were entirely acceptable to me. Jono was thoroughly professional throughout. He kept me fully informed as to who was viewing the property and passed on relevant feedback. His personable approach, enthusiasm and drive made the whole experience a breeze and I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone seeking a results-orientated agent.

Ian

Jono was great to deal with from the first meeting. We were constantly kept up to date and feel he went over and above to secure us a sale for the property. The campaign was really professional and we would highly recommend working with him. Thanks again Jono and team!

Charlotte Kool

I found Jono to be very professional from the outset and this led to a straightforward encounter. It was almost too easy! He is very proactive and communication was prompt and easy, definitely not intrusive. Saying that though, I can tell that Jono likes to keep a buyer on their toes, and I most definitely was. Maybe he met his match with me as a cool calm buyer! Everything has been very clear and just as I would expect, I have bought and sold with Bayleys previously and felt that this would be the case.

Stephen

In a challenging market after the peak Jono got our asking price. Tried different strategies and always had buyers going through by appointment as well as the open homes. Great communication has us always updated. Definitely recommend Jono to sell your property.

Mike & Carla

Jono provided a flawless, personal and professional service in the sale of our home, successfully marketing our property over a 3 week period (including 2 long weekends) and selling at auction. Jono is a great communicator and was happy to catch up whenever we needed. His experience and knowledge were invaluable as he guided us through the process from start to finish. Further to selling our place, Jono was determined to land us in our new home which he delivered on through his characteristic determination and work ethic. We would highly recommend working with Jono and thank him for all of his hard work!

Anna-Lise & Tom

Jono was brilliant to deal with - friendly, professional, great communicator and ultimately very effective. Extremely happy dealing with Bayleys Ponsonby

Bridget Gallen

We had a wonderful experience working with Jono who was approachable and warm in his demeanour, while being totally focused on getting the best outcome for the sale of our property. We would recommend Jono highly to any friend or colleagues and will continue using his services as we look to purchase and sell in the future. Jono always made him self available for our many questions throughout the process and was a great communicator, constantly keeping us in the loop. His gentle nature made what could have been a stressful process, very calm and manageable. We would highly recommend Jono to anyone looking to buy or sell.

Duncan and Christine Kearney

Jono King successfully sold my Crummer Road property... the interest was huge with multiple offers straight away resulting in a great price achieved. Jono worked very hard and was always happy to meet myself or buyers after hours. I would recommend Jono to other sellers and would certainly list with him again.

Taylor Campbell

We are delighted with the service provided by Jono King. During a difficult period of time under Covid-19 lock-down restrictions, Jono guided us through a successful Auction campaign with the utmost integrity and level of professionalism. Jono is polite and pro-active, he was always thinking ahead of the game. We would have no hesitations recommending Jono as an agent for your property.

Olly Gunman and Kathryn Simpson

If you are considering selling your home, we would highly recommend Bayleys agent, Jono King. We couldn’t be happier with the result he has achieved for us. As we searched for a larger home for the changing needs of our family, Jono introduced us to a property that was perfect, and then embarked on securing a buyer for our lovely home. We had a small window of opportunity to sell to ensure we were positioned to purchase our dream home. Jono offered excellent advice through the entire process, he was hugely proactive in marketing our home through his network and via a campaign, and dedicated to delivering the desired result. Given the short period we had to work with, Jono’s job wasn’t made easy. What could have been a stressful time for us was certainly made easier given Jono’s professionalism, constant positivity, responsiveness, and experience. Within 3 weeks of marketing our property Jono introduced a buyer at our asking price, and assisted us in negotiations to secure our dream home. We sold and bought on the same day, and we have Jono to thank for it all. Don’t hesitate in engaging Jono. He is a stand out agent, and a quality individual.

Pete and Sarah Macauley

Our experience with Jono handling the sale of our property was nothing short of first class. Jono is the complete professional, absolutely genuine with outstanding industry and market knowledge and a communication skill set which meant we were always instantly updated with feedback and progress on the sales process. In addition Jono possesses a wonderful calming and reassuring manner, which we greatly appreciated when those stressful moments arose. We could not recommend Jono more highly to any prospective vendor.

Greg and Kate Bovaird

From our first meeting with Jono we were most impressed with his very calm, competent and professional manner. We were delighted with the video he produced for the promotion of our apartment and the excellent assistance that he gave us in organising a company to stage the property. Jono was great at keeping in communication with us and guiding us through the sale process. We recommend him highly.

Bruce and Phillippa Campbell

Jono engaged with us well before we decided to sell, knowing we would either be buying or selling in the near future. It was this strategic networking along with his enthusiasm that made the choice of who to go with easy. The support and communication through the whole process including advertising, staging and the auction was great and produced a result that we were happy with.

Lincoln & Jacqui Watson

Jono made the sale of our home a really easy process right from initial appraisal to the auction day. His communication throughout the process was incredible keeping us up to date every step of the way. We would absolutely recommend Jono to anyone buying or selling!

Kate McEntee

Jono was knowledgeable about the area, always happy to assist with questions and very easy to work with. We would use him to sell in the future.

William Little & Stacey Parkins

I was impressed with Jono King from our first meeting. He came across as a professional and calm and positive, which gave me confidence for the situation I was in. At all times Jono has communicated to me extremely well, and always a step ahead with his thoughts and ideas on presentation and marketing, which was especially appreciated in the lockdown period. I would highly recommend Jono as your Real Estate expert.

Methods of sale

There are several methods of selling property in New Zealand. It is important that you understand the process for the property you are selling.

Auctions are a public process where a property is sold to the highest bidder at a level pre-determined by you, the seller.

  • Auctions are the most transparent sales process, putting all qualified purchasers together in one room, increasing competition to aid determination of fair market value
  • A sale under the auction hammer is cash unconditional, providing sellers with certainty to plan their next move
  • The deadline timeframe of the auction process creates urgency and a window for buyers to complete due diligence

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 invite all offers from interested parties, allowing flexibility and the option to choose who you want to negotiate with.

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.
