Slide 1 of 13

The process of purchasing this property was made very easy. Larissa was professional, prompt and able to give us all the information that we needed in order to make a great decision. She is really pleasant to deal with, so would recommend her.

Bronwen Foxx

I have sold two commercial properties in Whakatane with Bayleys. Larissa Reid has been my agent and with both sales and has been very professional and presented my properties with outstanding portfolios and promotional material. With both sales Larissa has had the backup of Rhys Mischefski and I have appreciated his input as well. Both of my properties sold at auction and I would recommend Larissa to anyone who is looking for an agent to market and sell their property.

Maurice Shapley

Larissa has done an outstanding job with my Commercial properties whether it be selling, purchasing or leasing. She has a great understanding of the market and is super easy to work with. I always find her positive and professional and I look forward to continuing our working relationship.

Paul Wardlaw

Larissa impressed us first off because she came and meet us early on a weekend which was completely to suit us, this was no problem for her whatsoever. We were on the same page with price which is the most critical component I believe. Larissa was punctual, kept us well informed of progress, professional, patient and tactical. The presentation of the brochures and photos were exceptional (and we thought out of our budget prior to meeting Larissa) and commission was within our budget too! Even the wee gift once sold was purchased with thought on what we personally would use and enjoy.

Kath & Murray Stevens

We strongly recommend Bayleys Whakatane team for their professionalism, dedication and success in the selling of our commercial properties.

Eglinton Family Trust

We recently sold our home with Bayleys and found them easy to deal with and were open and honest throughout the process. I enjoyed their phone calls after each open home with an update on how it went. The marketing material was very stylish and presented our home beautifully. Highly recommend Bayleys.

Leanne & Graeme Baker

We recently sold our commercial property through Bayleys. When looking to sell, we had no hesitation in approaching the local agent, Larissa, who then put together a comprehensive proposal for the marketing of the property. At all stages of the process, we found Larissa to be friendly, approachable, accommodating, hardworking, professional and always had our best interests at the forefront. The level of communication and commitment was impeccable. We received excellent service and would highly recommend Larissa without hesitation.

Edgecumbe Mall Limited

It is with pleasure I recommend Larissa Reid of Bayleys Real Estate Company. We have needed commercial real estate services on several occasions for leases and have been impressed by Larissa’s interest and professionalism. Her knowledge of local business activities is a definite advantage and along with her enthusiasm to assist both owners and the lessors contributes to much of the success this local area enjoys. Larissa is honest in her appraisals, and we have found her judgement of tenants and assessment of her market to be more than satisfactory. She is discreet in her dealings and efficient in the finalising and execution of leases. Along with her pleasant personality I have enjoyed her honesty and sense of humour and have no hesitation in recommending her services in real estate, particularly in leasing areas.

PM Eglinton

We listed our three Industrial zoned properties with the Bayleys Whakatane office once development was complete and title had issued in 2020. Larissa Reid is the Sales Agent who has carried out the advertising of these Industrial Lots and received all enquiries. After several unrealistic low ball offers, a serious enquiry late November 2020 was translated to the sale of Lot 1 at 5743sqm the largest of the three lots. During this period I have found Larissa very good and positive to deal with. Marketing was not easy as Whakatane growth had slowed drastically following the GFC and demand for Industrial property had fallen away so making a sale at a realistic price was not easy.

We listed our property with Bayleys and we had the pleasure in meeting and working with Larissa Reid who would be the agent for the sale of our property. Larissa’s professionalism and attention to detail was obvious throughout the process from preparing the property and marketing to the completion of a successful and quick sale. We found her very hard working and were relaxed in the feeling that she had exhausted all avenues in finding the right person for our property. Larissa was always available and we found her easy to talk to and we felt that any questions asked were answered honestly. It was a pleasure to meet Larissa and we wish her well for the future and she will be the first person we contact if we are selling again.

Nadene & Dave Scott

Larissa Reid is a very professional and capable real estate sales agent who was very instrumental in the successful sale of my home. I found Larissa to be both patient and considerate, seeking to meet her clients requests whenever possible. The way Larissa regularly communicated with me was greatly appreciated, and I am please to recommend her services to anyone seeking to sell their property.

Doreen Nash

Recently, we have had the good pleasure to engage Rhys Mischefski and Larissa Reid of Bayleys Real Estate to sell a range of properties for us. They have worked and continue to work very hard, conscientiously and innovatively to achieve a pleasing level of sales in a relatively slow or quiet market. Having engaged the services of a number of real estate agents over the years, we have never had any who exhibited the same attitude of loyalty to their clients as do Rhys and Larissa in trying to achieve the best for them. Rhys and Larissa have also had the weight of the nationwide Bayleys network behind them which is a real advantage when trying to market properties nationwide. They have recently been joined by Mikaela Pinkerton and it is a pleasure to work with them all. We look forward to an ongoing successful relationship with them.

Ian Lysaght - Managing Director | Lysaght Developments

Over the last 12 months we have worked with Rhys and Larissa in regards to the purchase and sale of three properties. Everything with these deals went smoothly and this doesn’t happen by chance. They worked through the process with each of these quickly and efficiently and consequently each deal went without a hitch. We are looking forward to working with them again hopefully in the not too distant future.
