Client testimonials

Slide 1 of 9

We were really grateful to have Dominique Donaghy as our agent. As first home buyers, buying our first home can be extremely stressful. However, Dominique was really accessible - she was super helpful, knowledgeable and patient. She responded to us promptly, answered all our concerns with great patience and was able to explain complex processes simply. Overall, she was a huge support for us, and we felt the whole process went really smoothly. We would not hesitate to recommend Dominique and Bayleys to people we know.

Timothy Wade and Eshian Teo

Always prompt, great information and very helpful. Great service, well done and we sincerely appreciate it. Thanks Carla and Dom.

Mark and Laurette Macky

Great agent - very flexible and friendly

Toni Abercromie

I would have to say Dominique and Carla were great to deal with. They kept excellent and clear communications going over a time-sensitive process while I happened to be away mid-country, without reliable wifi and only had access to very old devices! Very reassuring and so personable. So, the purchase was successful, they also offered an opportunity for my daughter which was above and beyond their responsibility. Looking forward to meeting them! -as all the transaction was remote!

Debbie Braks

I wanted to say how impressed I have been with Dominique. I’ve never seen a real estate agent work so hard and so conscientiously. It was a very difficult apartment to sell, especially in this market and Dom did not lose her focus or enthusiasm for a moment. I loved the way she handled everyone with intelligence, poise, and charm, and was never pushy. She was always diplomatic, and discreet and knew precisely how to handle every interaction. I found myself increasingly trusting her judgement calls which is not usually the case with other real estate agents I’ve had. It was a stress-free experience to know I was in good hands. When it came to closing the deal she really showed her negotiating skills and managed to wrangle an extra detail which I was very grateful for.

Sara Mary Stretton

Dominique was the listing agent on a property that we bought through another Bayleys agent. However, she has been a key part of the process and our relationship with Bayleys throughout the purchase. She never hesitates to help when needed, is responsive and follows up on all questions quickly and reliably. She is a pleasure to work with and was really helpful in navigating some unusual processes that arose. We would not hesitate to recommend her to prospective vendors or purchasers.

Rana and Jim

A 'goodbye' to our much loved family home and a 'good sell' to lovely people, made selling a lot easier! Dominque went the extra mile, every step of the way and her communication and vibrant energy was 100% - so very important! I'm extremely grateful to her and wish her every success

Saffron Howells

I found Dominique to be an awesome asset to your business. She was attentive and listened well to distinguish what I liked. She linked well with Jono to match my daughter and I with an apartment we loved immediately. She was professional and helpful throughout the process. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her to any prospective clients.

Jason O’Hallorans, Vendor

I recently had the pleasure of working with Dominique for the purchase of my apartment, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From the outset, she was incredibly responsive and friendly, always quick to answer my queries and provide the necessary information. Dominique went above and beyond by arranging several viewings, ensuring I had ample opportunity to make an informed purchase decision. Her professionalism and dedication made the entire process smooth and stress-free. It was great working with her, and I would not hesitate to collaborate with her again in the future.

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.
