Mana Tahapehi

Residential, Commercial and Lifestyle Sales and Marketing

Local property expert Mana Tahapehi has a solid track record over the last 18 years which is hard to beat.

Since 2005, the number one sales agent for Bayleys Real Estate on Waiheke has helped hundreds of vendors sell their properties, with over $400 million dollars worth of transactions completed.

Growing up on the island and with real estate in his blood, Mana keeps his ear to the ground regarding everything happening in the market while being a fully engaged member of the community, from coaching junior sports’ teams to serving on the Waiheke Primary School board. A keen golfer, he lives with his wife Cara and three children - Maia, Ava and Carter.

Mana believes his success comes from prioritising a process that’s stress-free for his clients, while focusing on maximising the return from their investment. “Over the years, I’ve learned that the best price comes from the best preparation,” he says.

When it comes to selling a property, Mana adapts his approach to each vendor’s unique situation. “I find devising creative and individual marketing campaigns tailored to the client and their property works better than a one-size-fits-all approach.”

Trusted to get great results, Mana is recognised as one of the most dedicated and well-respected real estate agents on Waiheke Island.

Mana encourages people thinking of selling to contact him for an informal chat.

As your partner in the process, it’s all about achieving the best result for you.

Worked super hard to get us a good timely deal in a tough market. There were quite few smaller negatives about the property they had to get buyers over the line with, without compromising much on price. Great job! Kerryn
