Introducing

Tony Lucas

Licensee Agent
Ray White Whangamata

Tony, and his wife Paula made the decision to relocate to Whangamata from Christchurch a number of years ago.

Now well established in the community, they are loving, living and working here. 

Tony comes from a commercial sales and marketing background, in the service sector of some 40 plus years.

Tony’s ability to relate to people, plus his hard working ethic, saw him achieve numerous sales success  with both multinationals and smaller companies on both sides of the Tasman.

Having bought and sold numerous properties of his own, he understands what is important in the eyes of the customer from a service perspective.

This is demonstrated by the large number of "Customer Satisfaction " 10 out of 10, awards he has received. The comments on these can be viewed on Tony's testimonial page. 

He was  awarded an "Oustanding Acheivement  Award" for Customer Experience, a Whangamata first!

He acheived the status of "Executive Member " for 2017 , another measure of overall success, and more recently the same award for 2019.

Tony is also actively involved in the community, previously serving as Trainer of the Whangamata Community Patrol, and now serving on the Board of the Whangamata Bowling Club. He is always involved in the numerous Community activities undertaken by Ray White Whangamata, particularly around their Ronald McDonald fundraisers, the Ray White Charity of Choice.

Tony and Paula work together along with Katrina Millar, as “TEAM LUCAS + Millar - The Power of Three”, and bring a friendly, customer focused experience to their vendors and buyers.

Tony is busy listing and selling properties, but would welcome your enquiries about buying or selling  in Whangamata , or any advice you may need on property and the local market!

Tony is your typical easy going, easy to talk to kiwi. He made Matt and I feel super at ease, and could be very honest with all our thoughts. Tony is very professional and explained all the different ways to sell our house, which he felt was best for us, what we were signing and why, always keeping us in the loop with anyone who was interested etc etc. Tony & Paula were awesome to deal with. I would definitely choose them again if I ever have to buy or sell again

Paul & Heather

We used Tony firstly back in 2016 when we were originally looking in Whangamata. He used his time efficiently with us as he had researched a number of properties to look at and drove us around. He was great to bounce ideas off and has a great intellectual knowledge of property and business. So to use Tony again made sense as there is always great communication. He returns our calls to him promptly to any query we may have and he has a great partnership with his wife, who is a great backup when he is unavailable.

Rusty & Bec's

Tony and Paula Lucas achieved a great result for us selling our bach, within our timeline we set. Paula even added final finishing touches to the bach for us making it appeal to a wider range of potential buyers. We live a good couple of hours away from Whangamata so it was a relief to know that each weekend Paula and Tony were running open homes and creating a buzz around the campaign on our behalf. My entire family count Tony and Paula as friends and my parents have (more than once) called Tony to shut the gate to their Whangamata bach. We cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you.
