OUR LATEST LISTING

LET THE BEST TEAM GET YOU THE BEST RESULT

We live and breathe West Auckland, day in day out. It’s a great place to live, work and raise a family.

Because we’re in constant contact with our local community, whether it’s shopping here, doing the school run, or taking the dogs for a run at Bethells Beach, we are at the pulse of the real estate market. This lets us understand what the market is doing, what your best buyer demographic is, where they are likely to come from and why they will pay a premium for your property – whether it be schools, transport access, cafes, or the unique features of your property.

What sets us apart from the crowd is, that with 15 years of combined experience we know that going the extra mile makes the difference.   With a team of four working for you and your property, we can and will do what it takes to get the best result.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

They say it is stressful selling and buying a house. It is. With the really great team of Melvin and Alyshia  you can make the journey so much easier. 
When we were selling our family home, Melvin and Alyshia listened carefully to our needs and pulled out all stops to ensure the selling process went as efficiently and quickly as possible. Any queries were answered and actioned promptly. They gave us reassuring feedback every step of the way and took the time to solve any concerns that we had. They made us feel like we were their sole client and took away most of the tension that selling our home entailed.  Their experience and advice on marketing and presentation ensured we had plenty of potential buyers looking at our house. We were very happy with the final selling price that Melvin negotiated for us.
We recommend Melvin and Alyshia to anyone planning to sell a property. You can trust their commitment and experience.

Words can’t truly express the gratitude we have for Melvin and Alyshia. They are true professionals that went above and beyond. With their incredible marketing skills, we were in multi offer and just one week later we were SOLD. They also helped us with the negotiations on the purchase of our new home. I can’t recommend this genuine and hard-working duo highly enough.

Harriet and DanRanui

We very highly recommend Melvin and Alyshia to anyone selling their property, exceptional agents, trust worthy, hardworking and dedicated. They certainly are a winning combination.

Deb and MarkWaitakere

We were impressed by their professionalism and absolute attention to detail. They use the latest technology to sell your home; we were impressed with their property video. Even in uncertain market conditions, our home sold within two weeks, and we were not disappointed with the sale price. Melvin and Alyshia’s intuition and knowledge of the market was spot on. Well done guys, we would recommend you to any of our friends.

Gary and CaseySwanson

Melvin and Alyshia recommended the best way to prepare and sell our home and we appreciated their years of experience. We were very impressed with the advertising of our property and we loved our video. We were so happy when we were presented with a multi-offer after just a few weeks. We achieved a sale that was higher than our expectations. We felt that their knowledge of the area was a bonus as they could share their enthusiasm and love of Swanson with prospective buyers. We would highly recommend them to anyone who is thinking of selling.

John and LynetteSwanson

Having used Melvin and Alyshia in the past for the majority of our house sales, it was a natural and trusted path to follow for the recent sale of our home. Between the two of them, there was a huge amount of communication, support and ideas for our sales strategy. They gave us some great advice on getting market-ready and followed through with some pretty outstanding marketing. They made the sale, and the purchase of our new home, an easy transition.

Matt and JessSwanson

Sue and KevinWaitakere

Many thanks to both Melvin and Alyshia for their initial advice and recommendations for method of sale which was presented in a very thorough and no-pressure way. The lengths they went to was remarkable, we really appreciate your dedication. As a result of your hard work a “SOLD” sign was achieved in a very short timeframe. I would not hesitate to recommend Melvin and Alyshia to anyone wanting to sell or purchase a property.

Brian and Leslie Turner

If you are looking for integrity, honesty and professionalism we would highly recommend the team of Melvin and Alyshia.  We were kept informed throughout and made to feel a part of the process.  Melvin has exceptional negotiating skills and is highly motivated.  Alyshia helped us to prepare our home with very good suggestions and a great eye for detail.  A personal touch was that they chose to incorporate our dog Hogan into their video presentation of our home which was a great success.

After meeting Melvin at a property viewing we were pleasantly surprised at how approachable and down to earth he was. No hard sell jargon with this man, just friendly common-sense advice. At a later date we looked at another property he was showing & decided to put in an offer, but needed him & Alyshia to perform a minor miracle by listing & selling our place at lightning speed. Not the easiest of asks, but once Melvin saw we were serious, they pulled out all the stops, so photos, drone footage, marketing, paperwork etc were efficiently & professionally handled. One thing that stands out with Melvin is he won’t promise you an unrealistic price estimate which could stall or ruin the sale process as well as giving false expectations, but rather advise a best but realistic level. We trusted his 12 years’ experience & were rewarded with a very successful marketing process leading to a successful sale & purchase of our next property. They really pulled everything out of the bag to complete the deal. Couldn’t be happier! We would not hesitate to recommend Melvin and Alyshia if you want a great result. Mike and Michaela

“Living in Tauranga and selling our rental in Auckland seemed like a very daunting prospect, after contacting Melvin, who we had dealings with several years earlier, we realised it need not be.  Melvin introduced us to the lovely Alyshia and there was no doubt they were the right people for the job, both so approachable and honest our worries soon turned to excitement.   After paperwork was sorted, they took hold, managing the preparations for us (i.e. re-carpeting, staging and anything else that popped up).  They worked hard to get our place sold (not an easy place to sell, right person for the right house).  Our target was to sell before Christmas and this they done, not only at a busy time of year but also in a market that was starting to slow.  Their expectations, explanations, processes and progress for the sale were well communicated and realistic. The whole process was minimal stress on us.  Thank you

Melvin, Alyshia and your team we will definitely recommended.” Tracy & Robert

Tracy and Robert

We first met Melvin and Alyshia when purchasing a property in the Waitakere Township. They were accommodating over the New Year’s summer break period to enable viewings of the property with our young children and extended family members who we needed to cater for.  Within that first meeting, it was evident that Alyshia was very skilled in her knowledge about property legislation, and was not shy to discuss aspects about zoning, LIM, building and resource consents, which most real estate agents shy away from. She and Melvin were very clear, factual and realistic about the current property market and we therefore felt comfortable that they were the right real estate partnership to sell our current property.  They provided realistic advice to ensure that the property was in its best presentation, and gave us true expectations in terms of pricing in the current financial market. Them and the Barfoot and Thompson team provided an amazing result of a sale agreement within 10 hours of going onto the market, in a slow selling environment, and helped the buyer along the process to enable an unconditional settlement earlier than expected. Melvin and Alyshia are active in giving back to the community they live and work within, and truly seek to provide the best real estate service to any customer in any location. It was a great pleasure both buying and selling with them.

Sonja and Richard

Melvin, Alyshia and the Ray White Swanson team are a class act. They marketed 2 properties for us and had offers on both within the first week that exceeded our price expectations. Such a strong result in a somewhat subdued market ultimately came down to their accurate and valuable advice in steering us towards the best sales process and a marketing package that would suit our buyers and the market conditions at the time. We highly recommend the Ray White Swanson team for all your real estate needs.
