Dean Tuffley

EQUITY PARTNER | LICENSEE SALESPERSON
Ray White Mt Eden

Operating his business from his office at Ray White, he believes that serving others and delivering a gold standard experience in real estate has been the blueprint for his success. As a central Auckland homeowner Dean loves the city he has come to call home. Often seen running through his Cornwall Park neighbourhood, Dean operates all across Auckland and within the highly-desirable satellite suburbs of the city’s central business district. In his first year in real estate Dean achieved the coveted Elite Performance award - only granted to the top 2% of salespeople globally and has sustained this rating ever since.

Originally from Otago, Dean has a B.Com from Otago University. He moved to Auckland to follow a career with Air New Zealand and Coca-Cola Amatil garnering awards for top salesperson at both corporate entities. Joining Ray White initially in a management support role places him in the rare position of complete understanding of the process - the “back end” of a campaign and the strategic mechanisms that are needed to ensure everything runs smoothly. A strong determination to succeed and his impressive charisma inspires his clients on their selling and buying journeys. The successful outcomes of his exceptionally well-run campaigns are achieved by a high level of negotiating skill and his careful management of the process, From the moment the property is launched and right up to the property changes hands, Dean keeps his hand on the helm and an eye on the ball.

Dean’s competitive and strategic nature corresponds very appropriately with his passions outside of real estate as a proven winner in the sporting arena having represented Auckland in Men's netball and in the past has played representative basketball.

I cannot speak highly enough of Dean's service and commitment to the sale our home. Having sold several properties in the past this is undoubtedly the best experience yet. The attention to detail and perfection displayed by Dean was exceptional. Preperation played a big part in the success along with the marketing campaign getting close to 100 inspections and a sale within 14 days pre auction. Dean's knowledge of the area, along with how to handle more complicated situations was a big part in why we chose him, and that decision paid off. I would highly recommend Dean to any sellers.

This is the third home we’ve chosen Dean to sell. Again, his professional manner, immaculate presentation in every aspect, attention to detail and his honest, open and lovely nature did not disappoint. The market is tough and despite this, he worked tirelessly to get multiple contracts and then an unconditional contract presented in under a month, We would not hesitate to recommend Dean to any prospective vendor. Thank you again Dean.

In a very difficult market Dean worked extremely hard and with great perseverance and a willingness to tweak things and change strat egy as we went along the property was sold. After 5 months on the market we were ready to withdraw but at the last moment Dean did a private viewing and spent over an hour with the eventual buyers. By giving them that time it certainly paid off!

From the outset Dean was amazing. He had a strategy which he shared with us. We followed his recommendations and he got us the result we could not have imagined. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dean. He was so motivated and energised and we had a huge group through the open homes and Dean managed to get 15 groups at auction. Unheard of in this climate. It still seems surreal. The result at auction means we can move on with our lives in a better situation than we could have dreamed and we cannot thank him enough.

This is the second sale we’ve been thrilled to give toDean. He is honest, fastidious in every aspect of his dealing and highly professional. The market this time was difficult and very depressed, but he still got us a good, and unconditional agreement. He is passionate about his clients and real estate. We would not look any further than Dean and have also recommended him to my sister and good friends who he also secured fantastic results for.

Right from the moment we met Dean we were impressed with his approach to sell - he was friendly, polite, genuine and didn’t push decisions on us, instead gave sound advice. He was extremely professional throughout the process of our sale and his lines of communication were excellent. He was up to speed with market knowledge and trends, and always on hand for any questions we had. Nothing was too much trouble. We couldn’t recommend Dean highly enough to help sell or buy your property!

Very proactive and friendly agent. Made the purchase very easy and enjoyable.

Dean showed us through a local Greenlane property we were considering purchasing. It was the best property tour we'd ever experienced. In the following months, he diligently kept in touch with new listings and market insights, so when the time came to sell our first home, listing our property with Dean was a no-brainer. Dean ran an excellent campaign. His strong local buyer network, attention to detail and commitment to ensuring our property was presented in the best possible light led to over 50 groups walking through our front door. He was process-orientated, diligently following up multiple times with perspective buyers and providing thorough feedback. We were confident he left no stone unturned. His communication was both professional and friendly, always keeping us in the loop on our Whatsapp group on the latest news as the campaign progressed. We always felt he had our best interests at heart. He also took the time to consider our thoughts and ideas, which made for an enjoyable, collaborative process. We sold our home in a market where prices were declining and buyers were tentative. Although we did not get the price we hoped for, we were confident that we had thoroughly tested the market as a result of Dean's work. This gave us the comfort we needed to accept what the market was willing to pay and move onto the next chapter of our family adventure. Watching Dean sell Real Estate is like watching Tiger Woods play golf. He was born to do it, and he performs at an incredibly high level. Our heartfelt thanks to Dean for everything he did to help us successfully sell our first home.

Dean made the whole experience of selling my home seamless and without stress. He knew my house and area well and adapted the marketing accordingly. He has excellent communication skills, and was very good at liaising between both myself and the vendors at any time of the day or night. In a difficult market, Dean went the extra mile to achieve me an amazing result. I can't recommend him highly enough!

The journey for us was scary. We had been in our house for 20 years. Dean alleviated the stress and made the experience so comfortable. He connected with the whole family we all loved him. He understands your needs and delivers. He sold our house for top $$ and found us exactly what we wanted. He is professional yet friendly. I would never use anyone else. I would definitely use Dean Tuffley ahain and have recommended him to many.

Dean is very professional and looks brisk and efficient and very slick. He is focused on the job and has looked after everything for me....which is 100% as I reside in Matakana . And for buyers ,he presents as an honest informed agent, who will look after them . I cannot fault him! Would recommend him to anyone buying or selling, and would have no hesitation in using him again.

We chose Dean because he had kept in touch since first meeting us 2 years earlier - not at all in a pushy way though. He is an excellent and efficient communicator and we know he worked very hard for us.

Dean is very professional. He offers great advice so you can achieve the best price. He is not pushy. Dean was extremely supportive and went out of his way to help us enjoy the process so we weren’t stressed. He was not only supportive to Richard and I but also the rest of our family including our dogs. Not only that after we sold he had found us exactly what we were looking for to purchase in that week so all done and dusted. It will seem strange not having him around now but hopefully we all stay in touch. I highly recommend Dean Tuffley- he is articulate (can relate to all ages), polished, professional, friendly and if you want a seamless experience- he is your guy!!

Extemely keen and thorough. Dean kept in contact throughout the sales process ensuring we kept to deadlines.He was invaluable esp with lockdown and the Bank not following through in a timely manner

Darren & Katie

Deans communication and professionalism was exceptional

Glenda

Dean and Sam were proactive in knocking on my door and asking me about the future that I envisioned. I told them that I would like to move to a very specific area and therefore I didnt want to sell my house and settle for somewhere other than that area. Dean asked me to show him if I saw something for sale in that area and lo and behold I did. Now this area is about a 40 minute drive from the agency but the guys arranged a viewing , picked me up and off we went.What service eh? Unfortunately after a few visits and negotiations the place wasnt suitable. The guys then went door knocking in the area and found me another place. Im very impressed with their flexibility .
