High-performance coach. Seasoned sales professional. Trusted mentor. Raymond Mountfort brings a unique blend of experience, leadership and passion to his role at Bayleys, where he plays a pivotal role in developing the next generation of high-achieving agents.

Sales have always been a driving force for Raymond. Before entering real estate, he led a successful family-owned motor industry business, growing it into a market leader with a reputation for delivering results at scale. It was there he sharpened his sales expertise, financial acumen, and natural people skills - foundations that continue to underpin his leadership today.

Alongside his professional career, Raymond has dedicated over two decades to coaching rugby, achieving notable success at both representative and premier club level. Despite gaining the qualifications to coach professionally, he chose to remain an amateur - committed to giving back to grassroots rugby and maintaining focus on his career in real estate.

As General Manager for Bayleys Auckland Residential and Lifestyle, Raymond’s leadership has helped elevate the performance of Bayleys' sales professionals across the region. With deep local knowledge and frontline sales experience, he commands respect from agents and managers alike. His ability to identify talent and implement strategies that drive results makes him a key contributor to Bayleys’ ongoing success.

Raymond also holds a national leadership position as Bayleys’ Country Manager, supporting rural and lifestyle teams across New Zealand. Having grown up rurally, he relishes the opportunity to contribute to a market segment in which Bayleys holds an undisputed leadership position.

A strong believer in the power of brand alignment, Raymond is proud to represent Bayleys. The company’s focus on family values and high-performance culture aligns perfectly with his own beliefs. His passion for developing people from all walks of life - and helping them realise their full potential - is the driving force behind everything he does.
