Local property expert Mana Tahapehi's solid track record over the last 16 years is hard to beat.
Since 2005, the number one sales agent for Bayleys Waiheke has helped more than 300 vendors sell their properties, with over $200m worth of transactions completed.
Growing up on the island and with real estate in his blood, Mana keeps his ear to the ground regarding everything happening in the market while being a fully engaged member of the community, from coaching junior sports teams to serving on the local school board. A keen golfer, he lives full-time on Waiheke with his wife Cara and three children - Maia, 17, Ava, 15, and Carter, 11.
Mana believes his success comes from prioritising a process that’s stress-free for his clients while focussing on maximising the rereturn on their investment. “Over the years, I’ve learned that the best price comes from the best preparation,” he says.
When it comes to selling a property, Mana adapts his approach to each vendor’s unique situation. “I find devising creative and individual marketing campaigns tailored to the client and their property works better than a one-size-fits-all approach.”
Trusted to get great results, in the six-month period to December 2021, he was responsible for more than $50m of sales.
Mana encourages people thinking of selling to contact him for an informal chat. “As your partner in the process, it’s all about achieving the best result for you.”
