Shelley Dewar

We used Shelley to sell our Waiheke Island business. Shelley was wonderful to deal with. She kept us informed of buyer enquires and progress the entire time. Shelley was great when advising us on advertising and promotion. We were thrilled with the end sale and felt the entire process was super easy thanks to Shelley. She was a pleasure to work with and I look forward to working with Shelley again in the future.

We cannot speak highly enough of Shelley Dewar, her professionalism, dedication, capability and sincerity meant we felt confident leaving our house for sale in her hands in the knowledge she was doing the very best she could on our behalf. Her work ethic knows no bounds, from organising open homes every weekend despite the fact that it rained virtually every day, to meeting interested buyers at the house at all hours and then following up on every potential buyer she had spoken to or met. Her commitment to all of this was second to none. Shelley’s communication, keeping us in the loop was excellent with very clear updated reports emailed through on a regular basis. And finally, her friendly and outgoing personality meant there was never any pressure on us.

Shelley was just the best, can't rate her highly enough. Professional, friendly and working hard for the best results for us.

Throughout the process we always found Shelley to be very approachable, helpful and genuine. Always professional, while being fun and personable at the same time. Nothing was too much trouble. We would happily recommend Shelley to any other vendors/buyers, and would certainly use her expertise again.

Shelley Dewar from Ray White was so lovely to work with and so helpful. She picked us up and delivered us back to the ferry when we were searching for a property. After buying her help continued above and beyond. As off-island purchasers, we were trying to coordinate various things, including furniture deliveries, from afar, and Shelley was so willing to be our eyes and ears on-island which was wonderful. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you Shelley, and we would definitely use your services again (not that we are planning to sell soon as you sold us the perfect house) and we are very happy to recommend you to others.

We have recently worked with Shelley on the successful sale of our high-end Oneroa property while living in another part of the country, which makes the process trickier than normal. Shelley went above and beyond to make it as smooth as possible, nothing was too much trouble for her and she did well above what a normal Real Estate Agent would do, we would highly recommend Shelley in the sale of your property, expect a good result from an incredibly professional and helpful Agent in Shelley and her team.

Shelley was a pleasure to work with throughout the marketing campaign for the property. She maintained excellent communication with us, providing valuable customer feedback following open homes, viewing appointments and general enquiries and suggesting refinements to the marketing campaign along the way. We were rewarded with a high level of interest in the property, multiple bidders and ultimately a successful auction. We would highly recommend Shelley and the Ray White team to anyone looking to market their property on Waiheke.

Great communication and follow-up, very professional and a pleasure to work with.

Shelley guided us through all steps of the sales process, and she has always been reachable and easy to talk to. I would recommend Shelly to anyone wanting to sell or buy a house on Waiheke. Thank you Shelley, for getting our house sold in such a short time!

It has truly been a pleasure working with Shelley. She works extremely hard and her bubbly personality also helps to make the journey fun along the way. Her training means that she is great at marketing and also has a good eye for detail with helping to prepare the property for sale. I would not hesitate to work with Shelley again and will certainly be recommending her to others.

I recently purchased a section at Wawata Estate. Shelley Dewar, the Ray White agent handling the sale, was the consummate professional throughout. She dealt with any issues that arose promptly, efficiently and maintained exactly the right level of contact. Shelley is also very personable and friendly, making the whole process easy. It was an absolute pleasure dealing with her and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Shelley if you are considering purchasing a property on Waiheke.

Shelley's communication was clear, professional and punctual from the beginning, her personality is warm and friendly which put us in a comfortable position in the sale of our house. Nothing was a problem and I would recommend her to anyone who is buying or selling a house

It was an absolute pleasure dealing with Shelly, her market knowledge and professionalism is second to none. Shelley was able to achieve the result we wanted, in the timeframe we required. I would highly recommend Shelley and would certainly use her again.

Shelley's positive and vivacious personality made the process of selling my home a pleasant and unstressful experience. Shelley's expertise in marketing and professional approach gave me confidence to have her market my property. Many thanks to you Shelley.

We couldn’t have been more impressed with Shelley’s passion, dedication and efficiency when we worked with her recently to purchase a section on the island. She went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and confident in the process and we were delighted with the outcome. On top of being a total professional, she also made the process a whole heap of fun. Her vivacious and down to earth personality made the experience so much more than a mere business transaction. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough and already look forward to working with her for any of our future real estate needs.

Shelley has just sold our house on the island and throughout was always a pleasure to deal with. She showed remarkable energy, determination and efficiency during the process and just went the extra mile. It was a great selling experience.

Finding the right agent to sell your home can be a bit daunting to say the least. Our property had been rented out so we needed some good advice on how to present it in the best way to achieve the best outcome. We researched a little on how to choose an agent and read through a lot of testimonials. In the end we narrowed it down to three agents from three different companies and met with them separately – a great exercise to go through. When we met Shelley she stood out as down to earth, warm and very enthusiastic. Shelley seemed to love what she did and shone above the rest. Now we can’t thank her enough for everything she did to achieve a fantastic result on the sale of our house. Her communication was excellent throughout the process, was always available to answer any questions and we felt very comfortable leaving everything in her capable hands. We totally recommend Shelley and wish her the very best in achieving a lot more successful sales.

Shelley is the epitome of a vendors' real estate agent. Team-perfect assessment of the best way to market our property at 35 Waikare Road, Oneroa. Punctual. Reliable. Consistent. Determined. Communicative. There are not too many great ways to describe Shelley's professionalism. We highly recommend Shelley to lead the marketing of any property on Waiheke Island.

Enthusiasm and approachability Great Communication Got the people in and made the sale.

Shelley could not have put more effort into the sale process and deserves special rewards.

Shelley Dewar was my go-to person for the sale of my house on Waiheke Island earlier this year. It was a very stressful time for me and Shelley was extremely supportive and helpful throughout the process. I really appreciated her understanding and enthusiasm as well as her calm, assured guidance. Careful to arrange viewings in advance and keep me informed of progress, she was happy to help me when I needed it, and I was able to rely on her judgment and support at all times. I found her efficient in managing the sale and paperwork and would have no hesitation in recommending her to others. A very kind and lovely lady!

We would like to thank you personally Shelley, and your Ray White office, for the fantastic job you did for us marketing and selling our Waiheke property. Representing someone who is also in the real estate industry, is not an easy task. However you handled the process brilliantly and your communication skills were outstanding. From the moment we listed with you and your company, we felt we were in very safe hands and that never failed to be the case. Your marketing was superb and at all times we were fully informed as to interest leading up to the auction. On auction day, you all took your part. The teamwork was excellent. In this regard we would also like to thank your principal Matthew Smith for his help and guidance and your Auctioneer Mark Sumich for the professional way he handled the auction and his acute negotiation skills. This culminated in a sale under the hammer that we were thrilled with. Well done, and again many thanks. We would have no hesitation in recommending you to any potential Vendor.

How do you choose which real estate agent to entrust your major asset to? Its not easy as most contribute to the general perception that this group is at the bottom of trusted profession tables. That's why its important to look below the slick sales pitch and look at the facts. Shelley Dewar is different from the vast majority of her peers. She is absolutely genuine and honest. She will treat your property in the same way she would treat her own. She is a highly experienced marketer working for many years with the most demanding clients. Her dedication to success is exemplified by her sporting success to a national standard and her commitment to the discipline of triathlons. As you can tell we did in depth research before choosing Shelley to sell our property. Hopefully our experience makes it easy for you to make the right choice when it comes for you to do the same.

Shelley has a genuine commitment to her vendor and is also the most experienced in terms of marketing compared to others that we had interviewed.

The property in question was being sold by my elderly father who had resided in the house for over 40 years since emigrating to New Zealand. Given this was the first house he had ever sold in this country, he relied on the integrity and professionalism of the agents entrusted to sell his only significant asset he owns. Both Shelley Dewar and Matthew Smith acting with absolute professionalism and were very sensitive to the emotions and anxiety my father was feeling throughout the process. I cannot speak highly enough of both Matt and Shelley and the way they conducted themselves throughout the sales process. Ray White should be very proud and lucky to have agents of such a high caliber. I have bought and sold many houses over the past 20 years and would struggle to identify any agents that even come close to Matt and Shelley. Please pass this feedback on to Matt and Shelley

We first met Shelley at an open home for a property we were interested in buying. After a few appraisals it was that first meeting that helped us decide on using Shelley and RayWhite Devonport to market our home. She was just the right mix of friendly and professional. We were selling and buying at the same time so were a little anxious about how it was all going to work – Shelley managed to put us at ease straight away, keeping us informed at every step and giving great advice on things like how to present our property and how to respond to queries. No question was too hard or too small, even about other properties we were looking at, and what was at first a slightly scary experience ended up being exciting and fun. We had a great result with the sale of our property and wouldn’t hesitate to use her again or recommend her to other prospective vendors.

We would like to thank Shelley for the fantastic job she did of selling our home. This was the first time we had sold a property so we weren’t too sure of how the whole process went but Shelley made it really easy by keeping us well informed and had no issues answering all our silly first home seller questions. She was always very professional and gave us lots of valuable advice on how to present the property. On top of being wonderful to deal with, she also achieved an excellent result for us so we can now move onto the next chapter in our lives. We would not hesitate in recommending Shelley and the Ray White Devonport team to anyone looking at putting their house on the market.Congratulations - rated 10/10 Ray White customer service satisfaction!

We would like to recommend Shelley Menalda - Ray White Devonport. Shelley was new to real estate when she sold our home. It was in fact her first sale. However, Shelley has a background in marketing and I am sure that the experience that she had in this field was a significant factor in the success that we had with the marketing of our home. The property has some unique features and challenges and Shelley introduced some innovative and original thinking into the meticulously planned marketing campaign. Shelley’s contribution did not end with marketing and her personable and easy manner relaxed potential buyers and enabled them to appreciate the positives of the property without overselling it. She has good communication skills and has a confident manner that I think buyers would find reassuring and professional. From the view point of the client we found Shelley excellent. She looked after all the details of our campaign and our needs as a seller. She took meticulous records of each contact, analysed their potential and presented summary reports each week. This attention to detail gave us confidence that things were being looked after. The marketing plan proved effective in generating a large amount of interest in our property. This resulted in very busy open homes and numerous private viewings. Shelley tirelessly and with enormous commitment to the sale, adjusted her work hours to suit the demands of potential buyers. Nothing was too much trouble. Though Shelley is new to real estate I have no doubt that her marketing skills, warm personality and hard-working attitude will serve her well and that she will become very successful in her new career.
