What Your Real Estate Agent Really Does When Selling Your Tauranga Home

Matt from Matt Wineera - Thats Real Estate with Matt Wineera

What Your Real Estate Agent Really Does When Selling Your Tauranga Home (Spoiler: It’s More Than Just Opening the Front Door!)

What Your Real Estate Agent Really Does When Selling Your Tauranga Home (Spoiler: It’s More Than Just Opening the Front Door!)

If you've ever thought selling a home is just a matter of sticking up a "For Sale" sign and waiting for offers to roll in - you’re not alone. But behind every smooth home sale is a real estate agent doing a whole lot more than meets the eye.
Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing, or shifting suburbs here in sunny Tauranga, choosing the right agent can make all the difference. So what exactly does a good agent do? Let’s break it down.

1. Local Market Knowledge (A.K.A. Your Property Price GPS)
Your agent isn't just talking the talk, they live and breathe the local market. They know what homes are selling for in your suburb, what buyers are looking for and how to pitch your home to stand out.
They also know how to price your home realistically. Overpricing can scare off buyers, while underpricing can leave money on the table. A great agent knows the sweet spot and will be upfront with you about what’s achievable in the current market, even if it’s not what you want to hear.

2. Tapping into a Ready-to-Go Buyer Pool
Behind every successful agent is a black book full of potential buyers. Over time, they’ve built relationships with people actively looking to buy, including those who already have their finance sorted (a major plus!).
These pre-qualified buyers are gold. They’re ready to make offers and their finance is good to go. A skilled agent knows who’s serious and who’s just window shopping, saving you time and stress.

3. The Negotiator You Didn’t Know You Needed
Selling a house isn’t just about the price it’s about the process. Your agent is on the phone, sending emails, answering questions and organising viewings, all while learning what different buyers are after.
They know how to present your home’s best features, build emotional connections and ultimately bring buyers to the table. When it comes time to talk numbers your agent becomes your advocate negotiating the best outcome based on your selling strategy (whether that’s auction, deadline or fixed price).

4. Taking the Admin Load Off Your Plate
There’s more to a sale than just the handshake. Your agent will work closely with solicitors, conveyancers, building inspectors and even tradies to ensure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes. Think of them as your real estate project manager coordinating the moving parts so you don’t have to.

In Short Your Agent Is Your Real Estate MVP
Selling your home is a big deal emotionally and financially. Having a qualified professional agent on your team can turn a potentially stressful experience into a well-oiled process. So when you're choosing who to work with look beyond the fancy flyers and ask the real questions:
 Do they know the Tauranga market? Do they have real buyer connections? And most importantly do they have your best interests at heart?

Thinking about selling or just curious what your home might be worth in today’s market? Let’s chat — no pressure, just good advice.

Cheers Matt

Emergency Mobile Alert Test

NZ Civil Defence are testing the Emergency Mobile Alert (EMA) system on Sunday 25 May, between 6-7pm ⚠️📲

If you have a hidden second phone for your safety, we recommend turning it off or putting it in flight mode for the duration of the test (6-7pm on Sunday 25 May) to ensure it’s not discovered when the nationwide Emergency Mobile Alert is sent.

Some mobile devices set to silent mode will still emit a sound when the Emergency Mobile Alert test is sent, so switching to flight mode or turning off your device is the only way to avoid the loud sound of the alert.

You can find more information about the Emergency Mobile Alert system, including a factsheet and list of FAQs at www.getready.co.nz

Poll: Is it illegal to have fog lights on when there's no fog?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The answer is yes, it is illegal. And yet in New Zealand it's fairly common to see drivers hitting the road with their fog lights on when it's simply dark.

Those who have sat their written drivers test recently will be in the know, but be honest, did you know it was illegal?
