SAM WALMSLEY

Auctioneer

Winner of the 2021 REINZ National Auctioneering Championship Open Division, Sam started his auctioneering career in 2015 as the winner of the 2015 Harcourts Most Promising Auctioneer of the Year and the 2015 REINZ Auctioneer with the Most Potential. Since then Sam has called over 2000 real estate auctions. Sam began his real estate career in 2008 after completing a Bachelor of Property degree at Auckland University. He loves the theatre and excitement of auction, and the fact that when his hammer comes down ownership changes and the sale is final. He has an ability to read the crowd and create an auction room environment which is inclusive, exciting and encouraging. He views each auction as unique, where the same solution does not fit every situation. Sam tailors his approach to the individual circumstances.

Having an in-depth knowledge of each individual property that comes under his hammer, Sam is always keen to meet and engage with sellers and buyers pre-auction. If you are looking for integrity, a tried and proven negotiator and above all, someone who will give you the best chance of achieving a premium price, Sam is your man!

KAIA

Chief Canine Officer

Kaia has recently moved to the North Shore after a tumultuous start to her life, which ultimately resulted in her searching for a new home, whilst in temporary accommodation at the Auckland City Council pound.

Kaia chose Andrew and his family to live with on the beautiful North Shore, where she later took up her dual role as Chief Door Greeter and Guest Announcer at the home office. Kaia is a quick learner and has really excelled in her role and has proven time and again to be a real multi-tasker and an exceptionally hard worker. As a result Kaia can also add Office Wellbeing Administrator, General Companion and Confidant to her already extensive and impressive resume.

Working alongside Andrew and getting to spend her downtime with her new family has really made a change to their lives (and to hers!), and she looks forward to seeing you out and about in the North Shore community.

In her spare-time, Kaia enjoys escorting (chasing) birds off the property, lying in the sun, adventure walks, belly rubs and frequent trips to her favourite North Shore beaches and parks, where she loves to chase balls and play in the water.
