Pat made the process of selling how house so simple. He did all the hard yards and made sure we were informed all the way through. His professionalism and approach gave us all the confidence and reassurance to know we had made the right choice to go with Ray White.
Helpful, Organised, Friendly and Professional Right from the get go, Pat portrayed professionalism in taking the extra time to break down everything that he does with his team and how they manage the campaign to sell our home. Live updates as and when they happen, along with debriefs every week allowed us to have that piece of mind knowing where we were and delivered it in a refreshingly professional and humorous manner. He handled the auction day incredibly well, especially when we had a setback post-auction. I rate Pat very highly and would recommend him to ANYONE who is looking to sell their home. He puts in a lot of time and effort to go the extra mile and I have absolutely noted that he had a fair amount of late nights through the campaign to get things completed. Thank you so much Pat for all your hard work that you and your team put in. Long days put in, plenty of communication and a bit of hustle. You have impressed me and my wife with how you raised the bar with your organisation and attention to detail.

Mangere
Pat Lapalapa was instrumental in the sale of my nephew’s house when he became highly recommended. My family and I met Pat in March and we had a connection, Pat is Samoan, he is a local boy, and he understands the nature of selling the “Family Home” and the emotional attachment as this beloved home was owned by my parents. Pat is honest, funny, and warm and he has an approachable manner I highly recommend him.
Mangere East
We selected Pat to sell our property after careful consideration, being particularly impressed by his strong sales record and ability to connect with a wide cross-section of potential purchasers. As soon as we had met him, we felt most confident in our decision: Pat comes over as a highly knowledgeable person, able to give sound advice as well as to listen to what we had to say. Throughout the sales campaign, we were very pleased by Pat’s communication skills. Pat’s highly professional demeanour, coupled with his positive energy and realistic market appraisal, were highly appreciated – particularly because we were selling during a time of considerable market change and turbulence. We will not hesitate to recommend Pat to others who may be considering selling their property: he is absolutely first-rate. Thank you, Pat, for your dedication and extremely hard work on our behalf.
We were very impressed with Pat. He has a calm and down to earth manner which we appreciated in what can be a stressful situation.

Manurewa
Our first meeting online with Pat we knew straight away that he was well skilled in his job and reflected a value which for us was the non-negotiable with who we were to go with: Trust. He was honest, upfront and efficient. We were happy Pat was able to tell us his strategy and also insight into different things so we were also learning through this process. Glad we made that first contact on messenger! Was always transparent and efficient in communication, if anything we were the slack ones getting back. Not easy to sell your first home but glad we were able to do it with someone trustworthy and well adept. Nothing but positive reviews for Pat! So much that he is helping us buy a home and in the future he will be our agent if we ever sell again.

Pat was amazing. He was extremely knowledgeable when it came to the market, always kept us informed and we really appreciated his honesty and integrity. We had dealt with a few other agents before Pat and felt that they would tell us what we wanted to hear instead of what was actually true. We would highly recommend Pat to anyone.
Pat has been extremely helpful for my fiancé and I as first home buyers. Not only did he provide the most help along the way, we feel as though he went above and beyond to make us feel important. Our process of obtaining the house took longer than expected due to CCC complications but whenever and update was provided to him, he would automatically update us and that made the waiting process a lot easier. Pat was awesome to work with and definitely will use him again in the near future and have already recommended to family and friends who are seeking help.
Pat is hands down the best agent we've dealt with. We have tried in the past to sell our property but to no avail. He was always there for us whenever we needed our questions answered. He went the extra mile to ensure that our experience was a successful one. Pat always communicated with us on what the market was doing and also informing us on the customers feedback. We felt that he went into bat for us rather than just trying to sell to gain his commission. Forever grateful to Pat and the team and will recommend him to anyone thinking of selling their property.
Pat was always very positive and confident, I felt like we were well supported with the sale of our house, and he made it easy for me even though I live overseas.
I scored it high because he is very easy to deal with, very genuine and honest and most importantly very caring in regards to us purchasing this property. Wouldn’t have it any other way!
Pat made the process of selling our family home as easy as it could possibly be. My family and I are ever so grateful for the entirely above and beyond dedication that Pat put into getting the job done for us. If we’re ever looking to buy or sell again, Pat will be the first person we contact.
Pat is a very honest and reliable person.
Pat is very professional, he knows his job very well. He is very patient to answer all my queries and he’s very thoughtful too. He’s made it very special and memorable for us to own our first home after renting for 12 years. If not for him we would have given up on getting our dream home.
