Introducing

Bob Lemalu

Licensee Salesperson
Ray White Papatoetoe

No two days are ever the same in real estate and this variety is what licensed real estate salesperson Bob Lemalu loves about his job. 

High-profile and admired by all for his honest and open manner, Bob has a laser-like focus when he is working to get results for his clients. 

Of Pacific Island descent, Bob is a proud Kiwi who celebrates his Pasifika heritage and is bi-lingual in Samoan and English.  Born and raised in South and East Auckland, Manukau has always been a special place for him.

Bob has over 15 years experience in Sales account management and business development roles for a range of companies, where he progressed to sales management and leadership responsibilities. Transitioning to media sales as a marketing consultant with a national Media Network was a great opportunity to develop his digital marketing talents.

As a charismatic communicator with a natural flair for selling, Bob then took on an internship in real estate.This move was clearly an ideal fit for his personality and he has never looked back. 

In the words of his clients, Bob is the consummate professional – courteous, intuitive, and diligent with a strong drive to succeed and exceed expectations each and every time. His real strength is his ability to communicate with people from all walks of life - earning for him the moniker from a past client - 'The Peoples Agent'

He is a clear communicator with a deep understanding on how strategic marketing attracts customer enquiry, enabling him to optimize buyers to secure the best result for his vendors.

His overall auction clearance rates are the envy of his competitors and he has set street records in sale prices well in excess of his vendor reserve. Due to his high level skills in running excellent auction campaigns, sustaining important trusted relationships with all parties.

Relaxing with his family and attending local rugby games keeps Bob grounded and in touch with the locals, many of whom love to stop and chat about the property market while they are on the side-lines supporting their teams.

For a chat with Bob on anything real estate, give him a call – he would love to help.

Bob was top notch to deal with and without his attention to detail we wouldn't have been successful with our house purchase. From the first message when we expressed interest in the property Bob kept us informed of all processes including other interested buyers and promoted us along to ensure we didn't miss the opportunity. I feel Bob conducted himself in a very professional way and has an easy going friendly manner that makes him a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended!

It was great having an agent that spoke both English and fluent Samoan, very helpful for the community. We had an excellent outcome from the Auction and were both very happy.

MDA Mulipola Limited

THE BEST DECISION we ever made was to make contact with Bob to sell our property. He communicated with us every step of the way. We were sent a timeline for the sale of the property so that we knew what was happening and when. Feedback reports from open homes and visits were thoroughly explained, and the process of what was going to happen on the night of the auction was also explained clearly to ensure that there were no surprises. Bob was also professional in the way he dealt with the current tenants, building a positive relationship with them and informing them of what was going on in terms of what was happening. Bobs great negotiating skills helped us sell our property for the best price possible. Bob is honest, trustworthy, transparent and exudes true humility. We highly recommend him and we would definitely reach out to him should we sell another property. Thank you Bob!

REAL PROFESSIONAL who takes care of the process I meet Bob early this year as I want to sell one of my investment property. Bob is a professional agent who ask to come over to look at the property himself to understand the location & condition. He understand this is not a simple property to sell due to it's location & condition. Bob had explain to me different type of marketing & selling Strategy and advise me the options. I have follow his strategy and we get a good result of the Sales. However we get hit by Covid-19 where we cannot vacate the property as expected. Bob did keep in touch with all the parties and manage to get buyer's ok to defer the settlement until we legally able to do so. He also manage to do final inspection to the property before handed over to the new buyer. He his great customer service & able to work on difficult situation

OUTSTANDING & PROFICIENT SERVICE! Since the day we asked Bob to assist us with finding a family home, he has truly worked above and beyond for us, he made you feel at ease despite the hurdles and setbacks we went through. You can count on his professionalism and expertise in the real estate business. Bob is also fluent in Samoan - he ensured that my parents were well informed throughout the whole process too. Bob is proficient, always kept me up to date with the market conditions - buying a house is stressful enough let alone during a pandemic. He is always available for chat when I needed advise and when I needed a reality check. He was patient and worked around my shift work patterns with regards to viewing times. I can’t recommend him enough. Hit up Mr Lemalu if you’re looking to buy or sell. His reviews says it all. I’ll be sure to use his services again without a doubt. Thanks again Bob ☺ God bless you abundantly!

T & L Kennar

BEST AGENT EVER!! Bob was just absolutely awesome. He was extremely professional, new the market well and a great communicator, especially when talking with mum, as she doesn't speak English. He put together a comprehensive advertising campaign in print and online which resulted in a large number of private viewing and open home attendance. All this culminated in a very well attended auction with several serious buyers in attendance, with the final result far exceeding our expectations. This was our family home and decision to sell was a difficult one. Bob made the process so easy and stress free, especially for our 83 year old mum. We totally recommend Bob, because he is the best agent ever!
