Vanessa, Jono and their team are by far the best agents we have worked with so far. They advised clear and logical strategies for achieving the maximum sale price for our house. They worked hard to exhaust every possible sales avenue and provided transparent reports which communicated what had been done and why. Their level of communication and service is second to none and extremely professional; making the sale process a breeze for us. They always put our best interests first and put the importance of closing the sale second. It would be very difficult to find a service that cares more about their clients than these guys. Even with the extremely high demand for properties at present I am convinced that the price achieved was the highest possible that it could have been due to the work put in by this team. Obviously I highly recommend.

We have just had the pleasure of having Vanessa and Jono market our apartment in Mission Bay. Over the years we have had a number of top agents from a variety of real estate companies sell properties for us, but we have never experienced the level of professionalism that Vanessa, Jono and their team gave us. Selling and buying a home is a very stressful time and Vanessa, Jono, Tahlia and Rae made our marketing and sale a very stress free process. And not forgetting Wayne Maguire a very focused and talented auctioneer. We cannot recommend them enough and we would not hesitate to have Vanessa and Jono sell again for us in future. An amazing team that gets results.
We would like to thank you for the most professional attention to the process of selling our family home for us. From your first presentation to us of a marketing strategy and right through the three weeks of open homes, the level of feedback and communication has been so reassuring. Vanessa, your calm guidance to us in setting the home up for sale was perfect. Jono, your patient explanation and knowledge helping us navigate the required paper work was just brilliant. The Team was completed with Tahlia and Rae looking after the advertising and keeping us informed throughout the time the house was on the market and following the sale. Thank you all for your hard work,10 out of 10. We are both very happy to recommend this Ray White Team to anyone.
My husband and I can not recommend Vanessa and her team more highly. Five months ago I approached Vanessa for advice as we tried to purchase in the highly competitive Auckland Eastern Bays area. It has been a journey but with her support, advice, local market knowledge and constant efforts we were finally successful as the purchaser. Having secured our new home, we then had the pressure to sell and as vendors there was no other agent we even needed to consider. Step in Team Mowlem – The team thoroughly exceeded our expectations. We had the property on the market in 2 weeks and SOLD 8 days later. Those results speak for themselves. Thank you, Vanessa, Jono, Tahlia and Rae.
We had the pleasure of having Vanessa and Jono market our house for us in St Heliers, with the end result truly exceeding all our expectations. The entire process felt seamless and their communication through the entire process kept us informed and consistently up to date. Their passion, honesty, and ability to move with the market is very admirable. Our campaign went live whilst in an alert level three, and not once did we feel like we had to stress about the situation because of how professional their approach was. The experience of the whole team is second to none, including auctioneer Wayne who knew exactly how to tailor the auction on the day. We would recommend the team to anyone looking to sell, and truly cannot thank Vanessa and Jono enough. We cannot wait for the next time we get to work with you.
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Vanessa and her team on the recent sale of our home in Mount Eden. We can not speak highly enough as to how enjoyable the experience was, Vanessa and her team were wonderful to work with, all worked extremely hard on our behalf and just as importantly made the whole process stress free and fun. With regular market updates, a constant stream of feedback they didn't miss a beat and we were thoroughly delighted with the final sale price and outcome. Thanks to Vanessa, Jono and Tahlia, for what was a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
I cannot speak highly enough of Vanessa and her team, from start to finish they exceeded my expectations well and truly. Every step of the process was well planned and I was kept fully informed throughout the whole procedure. Vanessa is always available and if not she is the first to get straight back to you with an answer to any problem. She was always positive and handled the sales process in the most professional way. Her passion, extensive sales and marketing skills, professionalism and industry experience are clearly the reason why Vanessa and her team are the top sales agents in the area. Thank you so much Vanessa and Jono for your dedication and hard work, I look forward to continuing my friendship with you both.
Vanessa, Jono and Team - thank you so much for doing a truly amazing professional job selling my home. The combination of Vanessa’s extensive experience in selling homes along with Jono’s law background and Tahlia’s superior marketing experience was the winning combo for a successful sale. Special mention needs to be made for Wayne Maguire and Ray White’s new offices/auction room in Mission Bay - outstanding facilities and outstanding auctioneer. Thank you guys, I will definitely be coming back to you again xxx
Team Mowlem were fantastic at every step of the way in the sale of our house in St Heliers. They were well organised, prepared and professional. They spent time getting to know us and making sure that they understood our goals and what we wanted out of the sale. They clearly explained the sale process and kept us informed about what was happening at each stage. I would highly recommend Team Mowlem for their exceptional service - we were very happy working with them, from start to finish!!
We cannot recommend Vanessa and Jono more highly. We experienced such true professionalism right from the first contact and this continued right through to sale and beyond. We loved the way they worked so beautifully as a team and showed empathy and true respect throughout the process of what can be a tough time for sellers. They made everything so easy for us and their communication was outstanding and beyond what we have ever experienced with an estate agent. We couldn’t be happier with the entire process, and they come with our very highest recommendation.
Thank you are two small words, but they mean so much. Selling our home has been a bittersweet experience for us. However, the sadness at selling was more than compensated for by the thoughtful, professional, and enthusiastic way in which you addressed all the challenges associated with the sale of our property. Your friendly, engaging personality not only placated our inner feelings, but had a major influence on those who attended our open homes. You are so ably assisted by your personal staff which made for a seamless campaign. Thank you. Fantastic effort!
We just wanted to say THANK YOU so much for guiding us over the past weeks with the sale of our house and getting a great result. Your professional, friendly manner was a pleasure to work with. You are a star and we truly believe you were honest with us at all times. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to any friend who was to sell their house. No problem was ever too much for you at all.
It was by chance that we viewed a property with Vanessa and her team, this particular property was not right for us and would be out of our price range. Vanessa suggested we come and view another property on the same day. We loved this property and made a pre auction offer on the Sunday night which was accepted. We were guided by Vanessa and Jono to go in with our best offer, which is what we did and our offer was accepted. The auction was brought forward and we were told there would be other bidders that would also be bidding. Vanessa was so supportive on the day of the auction and leading up to the auction. We were nervous that we would miss out. Vanessa picked up on, especially, my nerves and supported me throughout, even holding my hand right near the end. The team were just as excited that we won the auction as we were! We then decided that we would sell our rental property. I was so impressed with Vanessa, Jono, Tahlia and Rae that we decided to go with them to sell our property. This property has been instrumental for our future and we relied heavily on the rental income that it provided. However, due to purchasing the family home we knew to sell the rental property would be the right move. We did not have long to get the property ready for sale, we were guided by Vanessa, in terms of what we needed to do for the sales campaign. I am in the real estate business and it's not my first home to sell or buy. However my best advice is, if you believe in your agent you let them guide you and not the other way round. You listen to their experience and trust, trust, trust. The end result far exceeded our expectations in every aspect. We were rewarded with an outstanding sale price and sensational support throughout this entire campaign. I truly felt like one of Vanessa's family members, we were treated with utmost respect and tender loving care.
If you are looking to sell your property we highly recommend Vanessa Mowlem and Jono Barton of Ray White Mission Bay. Backed by a highly professional team, Vanessa and Jono helped us through what could have been a very stressful house sale process. They listened to us, were empathetic, communicated with us on a timely basis and provided professional expert advice and guidance when required. They are the consummate professionals who worked hard to promote our property and most importantly delivered on their promise to get us the best price they can. Our thanks to Vanessa, Jono, Tahlia and Rae for all the hard work.
We cannot recommend Vanessa, Jono, and their team enough. We had the pleasure of working with them on the recent sale of our unit in St Heliers. They went above and beyond and made the process stress-free and enjoyable. They were great at keeping us informed every step of the way and made us feel very comfortable with the entire experience. We highly recommend the team and looking forward to working with them again in the future.
Vanessa, Jono and Team have sold six properties over the past few years for us and each time have proven their best and achieved a pleasing result. They are professional, proactive, punctual and have a great depth of knowledge of the marketplace, past and present. It is very reassuring knowing Vanessa will do her utmost to make things easy for her Vendors. The feedback every week is always very detailed, informative, and helpful to keep track through the marketing programme. We highly recommend their services.
Team Vanessa & Jono are consummate professionals. From our introductory meeting through to the very successful conclusion of our auction, we always felt like we were in safe hands. Vanessa, Jono, Tahlia and Rae work exceptionally well as a team, complementing each other’s skills and working together seamlessly to deliver the outcome we needed. It is true that buying and selling houses is stressful but Team Vanessa and Jono worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure our experience was as smooth and successful as we could have hoped for. We are very happy with the result.
Vanessa Mowlem's reputation as a top elite sales consultant for Ray White preceded her and we certainly have not been disappointed. Her marketing strategy and campaign for us was excellent and her professional approach, energy and pleasant manner soon started to show good results and left us feeling confident that we would sell. Her communication and weekly progress reports kept us fully informed about the market and prospective buyers. Vanessa is supported in her work by an excellent team dedicated to meeting their clients expectations. My wife and I have no hesitation in recommending Vanessa and wish her well in her future endeavours.
Team Vanessa lived up to their values, giving us peace of mind and gave a stella performance in selling our house. We found the team highly motivated and consistently professional and efficient displaying full trust and caring. They made it hassle free for us by keeping us informed quickly through the process with quick responses as needed with solutions. There was good sense of humour (Tahlia/Jono) which also alleviated a stressful auction online. We highly recommend this Team.
We would like to personally thank and recommend Vanessa Mowlem and her team for the excellent execution on the sale of our St Johns property. This they completed in a timely fashion from the initial consultation and marketing programme through to auction to achieve a positive outcome. The whole selling experience was seamless making our role in house presentation focused and so much easier. Vanessa was able to assist in a number of areas from recommending reliable trades people to selling strategy and additional marketing initiatives. Her professional and communication skills were above reproach and we are certainly not surprised Vanessa ranks very highly in her industry. We would have no reservation in recommending Vanessa and wish her well in the future.
Our experience with Team Mowlem was fantastic, from when we began considering whether to sell, then listing and right through to auction day. They worked tirelessly to bring interested parties through, kept us well informed, were across all the finer details and made the whole process very enjoyable. We were thrilled with the result on auction day and couldn’t recommend Ray White highly enough.
My husband and I recently sold our house with Vanessa Mowlem and Team. While this could have been a very stressful process, considering that I moved to Europe with our two children during the house sale process while my husband was left alone in Auckland, both my husband and I felt 110% confident by partnering with Vanessa and her fantastic team. Vanessa, Jono, Tahlia and Rae were all amazing to deal with since the moment we met with them. They all were super approachable, very respectful of our home and vey polite. They all provided genuine and clear feedback when required, extremely responsive to every one of our questions, explained clearly every step of the sale process only as and when required rather than overloading us with information, and managed the actual sale of the house impeccably. Vanessa guided us to prepare the property ready for sale in the most efficient and effective way with Tahlia impeccable actions to ensure that things were done smoothly when needed to be. The entire team went truly above meeting our "very high expectations”, raised above any issues and helped sorting any problems /obstacles that came to our way, no matter how small or big and they left us with a truly positive lasting experience. To top it up the team secured two decent offers from genuine buyers after two days of viewings. With one of the offers we were able to bring the auction forward comfortably and sold within a week or so! Yet, Vanessa and her team kept working until the last minute before the auction to ensure that the terms of settlements and any conditions were not disadvantageous to us. We truly admired the professionalism and fairness that the team showed before, during and after the auction. Thank you all for making this process so simple, quick and stress free. A super big thank you to Vanessa for taking us here and for being so very kind and empathetic with us and very supportive with my husband. We could not have done without you.
From buying at auction the night New Zealand found itself back in full Alert Level 4 lockdown, to preparing our existing home to sell on a condensed timeline, our experience could potentially be described as a rollercoaster. With Vanessa and Jono guiding us every step of the way, it was, in fact, quite the opposite. They gave us practical advice about where to focus our efforts in preparing our home for sale in a hurry, set our expectations in terms of value and outlined a clear marketing, open home and auction schedule to fit our now COVID-impacted timeline. As it turned out, we didn’t need any of that, because Vanessa and Jono had been working with their network of buyers throughout Alert Level 4 and presented us with two offers on day one of Alert Level 3. Amazing!! Vanessa and Jono put our minds at ease over the tight timeline we had in which to sell and gave us every confidence of a successful outcome, which is exactly what we got. We couldn’t be happier with the result and with the level of care we received from Vanessa and Jono throughout the engagement and we would thoroughly recommend them to anybody wanting to sell their home.
We know very little of the Real Estate industry, but chose “Team Vanessa Mowlem” after a little research to handle the sale of our property. The professionalism was obvious at our first meeting and we felt confident of a successful sale. Vanessa, Jono and their team took over the handling of everything and our only concern was where to go when they had clients for viewing. The price achieved exceeded expectations and in less time than scheduled.
We have worked with Vanessa previously and have always been very happy with the experience. She has excellent market knowledge, is honest and open, works very hard and isn’t afraid to have the difficult conversations.
Working with Vanessa, Jono, Tahlia and Rae throughout the sale process of our property was absolutely seamless and they made a usually stressful process, easy! I would highly recommend working with them for any property requirements in the future. I specifically enjoyed the warm and caring nature of each of the team and the open and frequent communication. Thank you so much again.
I would happily encourage all my friends and family to use Vanessa and Jono to sell their properties. As you would expect they and their team were utterly professional throughout the process. More importantly they were approachable, warm and caring and at all times we felt we were in good hands. Their constant calm and positivity allayed many of our fears as we went through the ups and downs of trying to sell our home in level 3 lockdown. Out virtual auction went seamlessly and we ultimately sold at a price we were initially hoping for but to be honest had begun to believe was unachievable. They know what they are doing and you can have faith that they will do everything they can to deliver a successful outcome.
We could not recommend Vanessa, Jono, Tahlia and Rae highly enough to anyone navigating today’s housing market. Our journey started with a card being dropped in our letter box at the same time we had made the big decision to sell after 20 happy years in Glendowie. From our first intro, we found them to be extremely knowledgeable, professional, realistic and…. good fun! It was an easy decision to sign with them. We were guided on how to prepare for market and thrilled with our house staging and the quality of photos for the marketing campaign. Our road signage seriously stopped traffic. Because of their extensive database we had good attendance at Open homes, weekly reports were thorough, some buyer feedback was a little hard to swallow but the market spoke, we listened. Once we accepted an early conditional offer, it was put in their back pocket, and they upped the ante to find us a backup buyer. Selling a house is more emotional that we thought, but their honest open communication smoothed the ride - our group chat was often uplifting. They may have lots of listings and be the #1 team across our suburbs – but we felt as if we were their only listing and they only worked for us. Many Thanks team – we are thrilled with the result, it’s been a wild ride, but one we are pleased to get off!
After visiting an open home a few years ago Jono kept in touch, “just checking in”, consistently. This level of interest and commitment led us to believe that Vanessa and Jono (and team) were the right agents for us when it came time to sell. Through out the sales process the team showed empathy and concern for our situation and took every step possible to remove any stress. This team is highly professional but very “human” at the same time. We would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting to sell their home.
We had the pleasure of working with Vanessa, Jono and their team recently in the marketing and sale of our property. We were very impressed with the professionalism of this team and the clear communication all the way through the process up to and post the sale of our property. We would highly recommend them as a team and would definitely use them again on any future sales.
Just wanted to thank you very much for doing such a great job selling both Ngake Street, Orakei last year and Tagalad apartment Mission Bay a few weeks ago. I was extremely happy with the selling prices you and your team achieved for both properties and also greatly appreciated your totally professional marketing approach in dealing with both myself and the tenant at Tagalad Rd. It makes a real difference when dealing with someone like yourself who is able to instill confidence in the sales process that at time can feel quite stressful. At all times your skillful friendly approach smoothed the journey and made it a painless experience.
Vanessa sold our house in St Heliers earlier this year. We believe she went over and beyond expectations to achieve a sum we were more than satisfied with. At all times throughout the sales campaign she was professional, thoughtful and worked hard to promote our home. We would have no hesitation in recommending Vanessa to sell your home!
When we were looking for an agent and company to market our home, we wanted a team that would work very hard for us, be completely honest in their approach and obtain an extremely positive outcome for the sale of our home. We were recommended Vanessa, and right from the start we found her very professional, gave us clarity on what was the best approach and why. Vanessa was excellent in her communication and kept us informed right throughout the campaign. We were impressed with the team Vanessa had with her, the professionalism shown by all gave us great comfort and confidence right through the whole process. Vanessa was a great agent for us and would very happily recommend her.
Selling the family home of 25 years stared out as a somewhat daunting undertaking. Vanessa Mowlem turned this into a well-structured, supportive process with an outcome that we are very happy with in all respected. Vanessa is a strong communicator, friendly, knowledgeable and was always willing to go the extra distance for us
Vanessa made what could have been a stressful and exhausting experience selling my house, into a positive and exciting one. From our very first meeting i was impressed with Vanessa's professionalism, obvious passion for selling an energy. I had total confidence when handing over the task of selling my home to Vanessa. She went above and beyond when it came to assisting me in preparing the house for marketing and the selling process was a very slick, smooth operation. Vanessa maintained open communication with me and i felt listened to and supported throughout. I have no hesitation in recommending Vanessa if you want to achieve top dollar for your home with an efficient professional campaign.
