Julie Prince

Not long ago, Julie Prince was doing up properties. A pastime that had become a profession after raising her young children.

“Over time, I realised that my real skill was seeing the opportunity in properties. And that’s as big a part of making them valuable as doing the actual work.”

It was a skill that served her well when she was recruited by Bayleys. Sufficiently well for her to win Bayleys Real Estate Rookie of the Year Award in 2006.

“Bayleys is the perfect fit for me. The training has been exceptional and the support in the early months gave me confidence right from the start.” Julie is a great example of what we look for in a sales consultant. The person who can see the potential in the properties they sell, and in the business itself. If you’ve got the knack to see what others don’t see, we’d like to see you at Bayleys to talk about a career in real estate.

John Lantz

The day he decided to get into residential real estate, John Lantz did it differently.
Bypassing reception, he walked into Bayleys Remuera office, asked to be interviewed – and was hired on the spot.

“That day I hit the streets door knocking. I had nothing, not even a business card…”

But within a week he had a listing. The first of many listings to come that have taken John into Bayleys Real Estate Top 15.

And he’s still doing things differently, using some extremely novel ways to market properties. John’s a multiple award winner for his marketing campaigns, recognition of his clear understanding of purchaser psychology.

We don’t offer just anyone that walks in off the street a job, however, John is a great example of what we look for in a sales consultant. The person who can take their knowledge of people and use that knowledge to sell real estate. If you’ve got the knack to see it lots of ways, we’d like to see you at Bayleys to talk about a career in real estate. “It’s all about knowing what makes people tick, and respecting that…”

Scott Kirk

When Scott Kirk left his last job, he was frustrated by the hierarchal limitations of the corporate world. Instead he was looking for a change in direction, where the potential to earn corresponded to ability and effort, not seniority. The search led him to Bayleys.

“The day I came to Bayleys, I saw there were no limitations. If you’re prepared to learn and prepared to work hard, the rewards can be exceptional.”

Scott has certainly realised his potential, completing 28 deals in the last year.

“Bayleys reputation and proven track record helped me get listings, and the company’s marketing approach also made a real difference.” Scott is a great example of what we look for in a sales consultant. The person who can see the potential in the properties they sell, and in the business itself. If you’ve got the knack to see what others don’t, we’d like to see you at Bayleys to talk about a career in real estate.

Angela Davis

Angela’s first foray into real estate didn’t quite work out as planned.

“I was ambitious and I could see a real future, but the first agency I was with couldn’t provide the initial training or guidance I needed.”

“When Bayleys made an approach, I was delighted, because that’s what they’re known for, supporting their agents. And when I joined they delivered.”

It didn’t take long for Angela to deliver on her potential. In 2006 she was BRG Rookie of the Year, and she has long surpassed the goals she originally set herself.

Angela is a great example of what we look for in a sales consultant. The person who can see the potential in the properties they sell, and in the business itself. If you’ve got the knack to see what others don’t see, we’d like to see you at Bayleys to talk about a career in real estate. “If I hadn’t come to work for Bayleys, I would not be in this business."

Stephen Shale

Stephen Shale saw the big picture early on. His degree should have put him in the corporate world, where a career in finance or banking beckoned.

“To be honest, the real estate structure had more appeal. Here was the opportunity to run my own business, within a good agency…and the income potential was fantastic.

What mattered most to Stephen was his choice of agency. “I really believe in the power of a name, and the way it gives sales people an advantage. Bayleys was a natural choice.”

To be fair, Stephen proved himself to be a natural, taking senior positions within three years of entering the business. He has run four of our offices within the last five years.

Stephen is a great example of what Bayleys look for in a sales consultant. One who sees there is so much out there and is prepared to work to get it. If you’ve got that vision, we’d like to see you at Bayleys, to talk to you about how we can further your career in real estate. “I saw an opportunity to do it better, and Bayleys gave me that opportunity."

Mike Fraser-Jones

Mike is not a newcomer to rural real estate. But until his move to Bayleys, he felt restricted and unsupported in his work.

“I had a philosophy. I believed in being a vendor’s agent, and maximising value through professional, broad scale marketing. As they say, you can’t sell a secret.”

“Bayleys thinking and mine were the same. As soon as I moved I knew I had done the right thing.”

In seven years with Bayleys, Mike’s philosophy has paid handsome dividends. His turnover has increased ten fold … which shows, the sky is the limit. Mike is a great example of what Bayleys look for in a sales consultant. One who can see there is more out there and is prepared to work to get it. If you’ve got that vision, we’d like to see you at Bayleys, to talk about how we can further your career in real estate.

Peter Stratton

Prior to joining Bayleys, Peter was working successfully with one of our competitors in the rural sector.

“I was doing well, I thought. I had the lion’s share of the market in my area. I couldn’t see how I could improve, but felt that there must still be a challenge out there.”

And there was. Discussions with Bayleys convinced Pete that alongside Bayleys, he could offer a much broader and complete service to his clients.

“The support from Bayleys opened many new doors. My challenge was to provide those opportunities with the best possible service. With all the tools and support available, I doubled my income within 18 months and after my second year became a ‘Bayleys Realty Group Top Acheiver’”.

Peter is a great example of what we look for in a sales representative. He has a determination to achieve the best possible outcome for his clients. If you’ve got the knack to see what others don’t see, we’d like to see you at Bayleys to talk about a career in real estate. “It was all there for me…but it took Bayleys to unlock it."

Wendy Clapperton

Wendy Clapperton was previously a top agent with one of our competitors in Palmerston North.

“I thought I was doing very well. But I had the opportunity to talk to Bayleys, and they changed my view of things completely.”

“What Bayleys had was much a much bigger vision… where agents are supported in a way that lets them really develop their skills. This lets us achieve our full potential…to be more successful in our work for our vendors as well as ourselves.”

Success certainly did come Wendy’s way. She increased her income by 65% in her first year with Bayleys. Wendy is a great example of what Bayleys look for in a sales consultant. One who can see there is more out there and is prepared to work to get it. If you’ve got that vision, we’d like to see you at Bayleys, to talk to you about how we can further your career in real estate.

Brendon Bradley

A successful retailer for 28 years, Brendon was looking for new challenges…and new opportunities. Most exciting was commercial and industrial real estate.

“I joined Bayleys in 2004. It was a big learning curve, but I was given the best training and the company support was fantastic.”

Within two short years, Brendon had sold numerous commercial properties, including one worth $3.5 million, and taken on a personal assistant to manage his busy workload.

“My success is about my desire, but it’s also about the brand that I work for…it really does add value to the properties we sell.” Brendon is a great example of what Bayleys look for in a sales consultant. The person who can see the potential in the properties they sell, and in the business itself. If you’ve got the knack to see what others don’t see, we’d like to see you at Bayleys to talk about a career in real estate.

Gavin Perry

After twenty year’s teaching, Gavin Perry had a good grasp of the differences between people.

When he went into real estate he was top salesperson in his first year with his company. But an approach from Bayleys reminded him…different people see things different ways.

“I was convinced by what I heard. Bayleys are interested in the wider opportunities for a property, they look at marketing nationally and internationally – a totally different philosophy.”

“It’s a brand where we do things better, quicker, smarter and more professionally and the rewards that go with that are fantastic.”

They surely are. The rewards of selling 65 properties last year worth more than $50 million will not be lost on anybody.

Gavin is a great example of what we look for in a sales consultant. The person who can take their knowledge of people and use that knowledge to sell real estate. If you’ve got the knack to see it lots of ways, we’d like to see you at Bayleys to talk about a career in real estate. “Bayleys assured me they could take my business to another level. Which they did!”

David Cashmore

After many years as a successful tennis coach (New Zealand Tennis Coach of the Year 2000) and businessman, David Cashmore knows what it is to see potential and turn it into success!

“Absolute belief in your ability to succeed and bring out the very best of any potential is a powerful mindset.”

That mindset is what’s earned David the Realty Services and Success Realty’s Rookie of the Year Award 2006, after only 16 months at Bayleys!

“The outstanding training I’ve received from my local office and the Bayleys Property College, coupled with fantastic marketing and management tools has been crucial to my success”.

David is a great example of what Bayleys look for in a sales consultant. One who can see the possibilities in every property and achieve the ultimate result.  If you’ve got that vision, we’d like to see you at Bayleys, to talk to you about how we can further your career in real estate. “Bayleys is the ideal brand for me to work with… we share the same business and life philosophy!”

Sharon Hall

Three years ago Sharon Hall wasn’t looking at the big picture. She was nursing for a cosmetic surgeon, earning a good wage as a nurse, but life had stalled.

Then she met up with an old friend Richard Cashmore, Bayleys agency principal in Tauranga. Her outlook on things changed completely.

“I’d had some experience of real estate some years before. But when Richard told me how Bayleys did things, I was blown away.”

Bayleys turned out to be the perfect fit for Sharon. She’s found herself in a go ahead, try anything environment, and her wage envelope…it’s five times bigger than it was, after only one year.

Sharon is a great example of what Bayleys look for in a sales consultant. One who can see there is more out there and is prepared to work to get it. If you’ve got that vision, we’d like to see you at Bayleys, to talk to you about how we can further your career in real estate. “I would not work for anyone else in the Bay, it’s a firm with real values.”

Simon Anderson

Having spent over 15 years in the rural financial services industry Simon Anderson knew a lot about how people bought country properties, what people looked for and how decisions where made.

This knowledge has served Simon well since making the transition to real estate with Bayleys in the Bay of Plenty five years ago.

It has also enabled him to initiate and develop the Bayleys Country Sales Team across the Bay of Plenty and Waikato. The team has grown to 18 with a market share around 20%.

Simon is a great example of what Bayleys look for in an agent. The person who can take their knowledge of people and use that knowledge to sell real estate. If you’ve got the knack to see it lots of ways, we’d like to see you at Bayleys to talk about a career in real estate. “What has worked for me is my knowledge, and the power of the Bayleys brand…”

Andrew Smith

Prior to joining Bayleys Andrew had bought and sold commercial real estate on a small scale.

“It started out as an interest, while my main focus was running my car dealership.” 

“After nearly 30 years of buying and selling commercial property, I developed a strong relationship with the Bayleys Commercial manager, and when I was approached to join Bayleys, it felt like the logical next step”.

Within one year Andrew was a top achiever and three years later, he has made a highly successful and rewarding career out of what was a sideline interest.

“Bayleys has given me the flexibility to continue to work for myself and to run my business as I am used to, with a strong work ethic and high service standards for my clients”. Andrew is a great example of what we look for in a sales consultant. The person who can see the potential in the properties they sell, and in the business itself. If you’ve got the knack to see what others don’t see, we’d like to see you at Bayleys to talk about a career in real estate.

Glenn Dick

At 27, Glenn Dick had a sanguine view of his career in finance brokering.

I moved to Marlborough, discovered what a fantastic place it is…and a career that’s had me over the moon for three years.

“In my first year I was top performer in our office. In my second year I was promoted to management, and I’m now responsible for 19 people.”

“I work with people of integrity who really know how to market property – what could be better for anyone in real estate?” Glenn is a great example of what Bayleys look for in a sales consultant. One who sees there is so much out there and is prepared to work to get it. If you’ve got that vision, we’d like to see you at Bayleys, to talk to you about how we can further your career in real estate.
