Licensee Salesperson | Business Owner
Ray White Papatoetoe

"No matter what, you will always get the truth from me. I will never spin you a fairy tale. If you're looking for results, I'm your guy."

William is a multi-award-winning salesperson who joined the real estate industry in 2012 after actively serving in the New Zealand Fire Service for 9 years. A formidable career where he built a relentless work ethic and valuable trade skills that made him a fast success within the Ray White Group. A born leader, William rose to achieve high accolades early on in his real estate career and continues to be a "go-to" guy for both apprentice and established agents.

His training sessions with the wider team are said to be extremely knowledgeable and highly motivating. A testament to his communication skills considering English is not his first language. Coming from humble beginnings, William learned young that he'd have to work twice as hard to achieve his goals. A proud Tongan native, William overcome the language barrier in his adolescence. The first of many adversities that would groom him into the unstoppable leader that he is today.

With a decade of experience at his helm, William brings a wealth of expertise that grants him an edge that is ideal for negotiating. His reputation for achieving a premium price serves as a beacon to those looking for the real deal. His sense of humour gives clients a great first impression, but it's his 'no-nonsense' attitude when it comes to delivering results that keep them coming back. Strong values combined with sharp trade knowledge gives William the advantage to produce superior results.

William is an excellent communicator and is easy to deal with. We can tell that he really knows what he is talking about when discussing everything and anything about selling our property and related topics. Plus, him living in the same area as us was really convenient as he just popped in our place (the property that we sold) whenever we needed more help or advice. Going through the property sale with him gave us a bit more confidence that we can achieve our goals. Working with William was a real pleasure.

Rodney Gordon & Judith Anne Townsend

While I live in Auckland, this is a rental property. William has arranged everything. Selling a fully tenanted property without me going near the property. No staging, no renovation, no telling tenants the property is for sale. From and idea to sold in 3 weeks without me going near the property. I love it.

San Pedro Investments Limited

Upfront and professional. Knows the strategy on achieving a high price for a property. I am grateful that my property sold over its CV. William, Thank you.

Rodney & Jillian Jacques

From the moment that we met William Vaea we recognised a man of strength and dignity, who had a Single Eye For The Prize of ensuring our property sold for the best possible price. He spared no effort in attending to every detail concerning the securing of the listing for our property. The advise he provided was sound and always delivered in a courteous and positive energetic manner which inspired our confidence, and especially mine (Rodd). He demonstrated a passion for this business or Real Estate Sales, and had very clear objectives that he wanted to achieve in dealing with our property - it was a very inspiring experience. This carried over into every aspect of the preparation for listing (it was a second time listing for us having been referred to William by a friend and fellow property owner), then the actual listing, the operation of the Open Homes, through to the Paper Work for the Auction, and then the Auction itself, where William took personal control of working with Key Buyers whom he had introduced the property to. Some being investors who had not been actively looking for property at this exact time. It was particularly William's Sales Skills and his ability to work with Robert the Auctioneer who had Excellent Skills, that garnered the sale and the excellent price we received, under these market conditions. To conclude, William is a Highly Meritorious Agent, one who reminded me of Myself as a Sales Executive and Entrepreneurial Company Director, which was extremely refreshing to see as there are not many Sales People like William these days! Typically Real Estate Sales People put a listing together and execute the advertising programme and sit back and wait for the Customers to come to them by Website Connection, Open Home, or Telephone. Not William, he was immediately out into the field following up every lead, and Hunting Out all known Investors and Possible Buyers who just might be interested in this Highly Desirable Property. This he did and introduced the properties eventual buyer to the property. A clear example of a Sales Executive knowing his market and target audience, and getting out into the market to Find The buyer! A rare instinctive attitude from the modern day sales agent in my view. Never was he pushy or presumptuous! Always he was Polite, Respectful, and happy to defer to our requests. All in all, it was a Very Happy Experience and William has left us as two very satisfied Vendors and people. So we thank Ray White Realty for all of its work in developing such a Priceless Asset that you have in William Vaea. Sincerely Rodd Jacques Vendor - Cristo el Rapha Trust.

Kirsty Michelle Bettye Baxter & Isaac George Warr

Purchasing my first home was a horrible, traumatic experience. The sales agent didn’t actually turn up to the first open home viewing, never rang me back as scheduled during price negotiations, and the only time I ever met him was when he handed us the keys on settlement. Every request for further information seemed too hard, and no property information was compiled and provided when we showed interest in purchasing. The agent was unprofessional, unreliable and the thought of having to deal with another sales agent like this to sell my house filled me with dread. In stark contrast however, selling the house with Vili was a breeze. He attended the property within a day of my asking for an appraisal and actually showed genuine interest in the property, as well as strong confidence in the likelihood of a sale. He provided us with an informal, verbal price indication at this first meeting which was promptly followed up in writing the next day with a full CMA report. The conditions of the sale were difficult due to personal circumstances, but no request was ever too hard for Vili. His support team was also amazing and made the process of listing the property simple - from the listing paperwork I needed to sign, to the extremely impressive blurb written for the advert, right through to recommendations for reputable home stagers. I have to say though that the main reason I saw Vili as the best agent to sell my property was not because of his striking reputation, presence in the local market or friendly disposition – it was because he gave us frank, honest advice about the best way to market and sell our home that was tailored to OUR property. At no point did he try to push unnecessary marketing or an auction campaign on us when the nature of the properly clearly called for a set date of sale. He always had our best interests at heart, which meant a quick sale at the best possible price. Vili achieved this within 10 days of the property going to market and for this, I couldn’t be more grateful. I would highly recommend Vili as an agent to anyone looking for a professional service made extremely quick and easy, with a smile. 11/10
