Client testimonials
Paul knows details of almost every property here. Despite market ups and downs, he gives valuable valuations and has great skill in attracting and finding buyers. He pays great attention to details—like how to prepare before listing a property, necessary coordination during open homes, and how to attract and retain potential buyer. Plus, his whole branch team handles unexpected contract issues and special cases expertly. My entire process had challenges at first, but it ended perfectly. I’m 200% satisfied and strongly recommend Paul if you’re selling a property in the central area. Thank you so much to Paul and the whole team! 71 Renfrew Avenue, Sandringham, Auckland
Because Paul has worked in our former neighbourhood for many years we were keen to tap into his expertise. To tick all the boxes, we auditioned several agents for the job. Not surprisingly, Paul emerged as the clear winner. His suggestions were delivered with tact and realistic directions towards success were most appreciated and sealed the deal. Good luck for the future Paul!
When we decided to sell our home, it was a very easy decision of who to ask as we have worked with Paul before. He has been wonderful throughout the whole process, from the first email contacting him, to the house selling at auction. We would get regular calls and messages keeping us updated with what was happening, and information about house prices in the surrounding area. When we realised that renovations and a deep clean of the property was needed, he even put us in touch with one of his contacts, who in turn had a team to do what was needed. We would definitely recommend him! He's well experienced and knows the current house market.
Paul is excellent. I thoroughly recommend him. I found Paul to be very knowledgeable and in tune with the current market trends when price setting, marketing and selling my property. His communication was always prompt and clear. Paul was extremely reliable, punctual, patient and always professional. I can definitely recommend him as he has now sold two properties for me and both times he was consistently great to work with. Thanks Paul! 73B Woodward Road, Mount Albert, Auckland

Paul was fantastic to work with when selling our house. He kept us well informed every step of the way, and we always felt confident in his guidance. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone. Paul offers more than just market knowledge - he’s honest, transparent, and genuinely committed to doing what’s right. His integrity and ethical advice made him a trusted partner in selling our home and helping us take the next step in our journey.
Pleasant and communicates well, not at all pushy.
Paul Raynes lovely to deal with. So respectful of vendors and buyers.
We’ve observed Paul Raynes in action in our area for more than 20 years. He is the consummate professional who’s selling success says it all. Paul recently sold our home achieving an outstanding result in a challenging market. We highly recommend Paul and the UP Team. Jenny & Brian Caston 11 Mons Ave
I can unreservedly recommend Paul Raynes. Calm, competent and an excellent communicator. He made helpful suggestions to maximise our presentation, ran a good campaign and kept us fully informed throughout. He followed up carefully and conscientiously with all possible buyers. This resulted in 5 people bidding and a very satisfactory sale. He is a real professional with an excellent backup team in UP. Dr M L O’Rourke 1/101A Wheturangi Rd, Greenlane
I met Paul 20 years ago in 1995 when he sold me my Unit. I found Paul’s manner quietly unassuming, very efficient, precise and professional. Because of the honest feel with his selling approach, I enlisted him to sell the same unit in 2015. Paul marketed my unit beautifully and attained a brilliant price above my expectations. I thoroughly recommend Paul to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. Grace Bell 1/46 Shorwell Street Sandringham
Good Morning Paul Thank you very much for all of your hard work and professionalism and Miz and I would just like to say how pleased we are with how everything eventuated.

Dear Paul, This letter is to say thank you for the fantastic job you did in selling our very first home. You did an amazing job for us and we greatly appreciated your efforts and those of the Unlimited Potential team. One of the best things for us was how you made the whole process seamless and relatively stress free. From the way you conducted the open homes, to communicating back to us, your professionalism was outstanding and its fair to say we will definitely be recommending you to anyone looking to sell their home. Thank you for a wonderful experience. Wynn Riechelmann & Steve Freundlich 2 Renfrew Avenue, Sandringham
I had bought property some years ago from Paul Raynes and was impressed then by his commitment to both vendor and buyer and so when selling property looked to Paul as a very trustworthy realtor with very good local knowledge , professionalism and integrity. What more could one want when selling a property! He kept me very well informed throughout the process and went the extra yards to ensure that the property was presented well. Thank you Paul. I could not recommend you more highly. 31 Cambrai Avenue
