Can't thank you enough for helping us through every step of the way. Great service that I'd gladly recommend!
Edward Baker has been selling homes around South Auckland for 15 years and is a well-known figure to many locals, some who have bought and sold with him multiple times. As part of this vibrant, culturally diverse community, Edward is passionately committed to being closely involved as a local resident. As a dedicated family man himself understands how challenging it can be to move home and adapt to changes in circumstances that can trigger a move.
Edward has enjoyed a long and respected past career in sales. No stranger to building positive relationships, he initially worked in the insurance industry before serving in Australia as a missionary. On his return he worked in telecommunications, completing a 10-year career in 2006 with Vodafone as their top salesperson nationwide. He launched his real estate career with Ray White Manukau and after working for another brand for 10 years came full circle returning to Ray White in 2021 reconnecting with old friends and colleagues.
Edward has an altruistic approach to securing the best possible price for his vendors. He proactively seeks out other agents to conjunct, acknowledging that the right buyer for his client’s property is the priority. He is immensely loyal, genuine and always does what’s in the best interest for his client. No stone is left unturned – even it that perfect stone is across the road with the competition. Open and transparent, Edward is incredibly caring and has innate ethics and a faith that he walks in and lives by. He’s details-oriented and yet a big-picture thinker born out of past life in the corporate world where meeting the expectations of stakeholders was critical.
Edward lives in Flat Bush with his wife and their large extended whanau. He loves nothing better than hanging with them in his spare time and keeping up with all their activities.

My wife and I cannot speak highly enough about Edward Baker at Ray White Realty Ltd in Manukau. He helped us sell two properties earlier this year 2021. Based on that experience we asked him to find us an investment property. In less than a week he found the perfect property. He spent a lot time answering our questions in person or via emails. He always answered our phone calls, even after hours. Edward made sure we received all the necessary property data and information in a timely manner. We met with him to inspect the property. He took great care to make sure my wife and I followed COVID19 guidelines to ensure everyone’s safety and well-being. We trust Edward and asked him to represent us at the Auction. He did a fantastic job and our bid was successful. Because of our relationship with Edward we’ve decided to rent our property with his company, Ray White. Edward is honest and knows what he’s talking about when it comes to Real Estate. I have no hesitation in recommending him or his services to anyone. I’ve found his character to be above reproach.
We were blown away by the fact that Edward generated over 10 offers for our property, until we realised the fantastic price he’d negotiated for us, and then we were surprised and delighted all over again! We achieved a fast sale for our home, but the agreement still gave us ample time to move out to suit our needs.
Being able to trust our real estate salesperson is paramount, as essentially we’re trusting them with our most valuable asset! Edward has sold a couple of our properties over the past few years. To say he is trustworthy is an understatement and his client service is impeccable. Nothing is too much trouble for Edward and no request goes unanswered or un-actioned.
I’ve used Edward multiple times over the years to sell my rental properties. Edward’s efficiency and hard work bears fruit, and most of all, his extreme professionalism and character takes all the stress out of selling a home.
We had a price in mind we were happy with when we were selling our family home. Edward’s persistence and perseverance generated multiple offers that resulted in a price well above what we could have hoped for.
Edward’s professionalism and integrity has astounded my wife and I. Exceeding our expectations on every level, Edward not only kept us informed during every step of the process, he helped guide us through the sale and fulfilled every promise he made to us.
Edward acted as our buyer’s agent while we were searching for our first home in an area we weren’t familiar with. Edward identified homes we might be interested in and didn’t hesitate to ring up agents from other companies to enquire about suitable properties. He came up with a couple of surprise options (one which we later bought) and he even chauffeured us around Manurewa! We couldn't have done it without him.
Myron and I couldn’t be happier with the sale of our home. Edward made the whole process so easy for us. Plus the fact he achieved a price $53,000 higher than a similar townhouse in the same block that sold just a month earlier, is testament to his exceptional negotiation skills.
Edward sold two properties for us – our own home, plus a one bedroom unit next door. Regular communication is very important to us and Edward kept us updated every day while the properties were on the market. We were working against tight timeframes as we’d purchased another home subject to these properties selling. Edward couldn’t have done a better job for us and we are over the moon to be able to move to our new home.
I live in Australia so having someone on the ground in Auckland to look after my interests is essential. Edward sold my rental property for a great price AND a cash unconditional offer. Because I’m based so far away, leaving the sale in Edward’s extremely capable hands was fantastic.
Edward negotiated the sale of our Mt Wellington rental property. He negotiated two agreements on the property, the first one, plus a back-up agreement just in case. When the first buyer asked for a reduction in the price before going unconditional, we were confident enough that we had a second agreement to be able to decline this request. Edward’s ability to present us with two agreements allowed us to maximise our sales price. We were delighted with the result, which enabled us to purchase our own home.
From the moment Edward came in with his professional approach, sunny smile and wonderful personality, I knew that he would succeed in selling my property where a previous agent had failed. Edward understood my circumstances and did everything he could to help me, making himself available at all times. NOTHING was too much trouble and if I had to sum Edward and his incredible service up in five words, they would be: reliable, trustworthy, resourceful, honest and genuine. Everything you need from your real estate agent. Thanks to Edward I am now set for my future
