About Linda

Ray and Linda Lees spent their formative years in Tauranga in the 60s and 70s. They returned to their home town with their three children in 1994 where Ray commenced his real estate career. He has enjoyed more than two decades with Realty Services with Linda joining Ray in the business in 2000, firstly as part time support which soon became a full-time job as their client base grew.

Ray and Linda have enjoyed success in every market condition and over a wide range of residential property types and values to become a universally trusted real estate partnership. They appreciate a high percentage of repeat business and personal recommendations. As they have assisted their clients up the property “ladder” the value of their transactions has risen. Their reputation in managing top-end value sales has been earned by a solid work ethic, drawing on a bank of over 20 years’ experience, maintaining a hands-on friendly approach and placing an emphasis on the best exposure to get a top result.

Ray and Linda have consistently achieved outstanding results for their clients, results beyond vendor expectations are not uncommon in the buoyant markets.

When managing the sales process of Tauranga’s prestigious homes they recognise the importance of broadening promotion to a national and sometimes international level. Their presentation of their clients’ property on the real estate web sites is of the highest standard.

 “We set out to target the right buyers for our clients’ property, ensuring that they are comfortable it has been exposed locally, regionally and nationally to attract those buyers,” says Ray. “Because the ideal buyer sees the most value in a property, once we have achieved this we have set the platform to negotiate the best result for our vendors.”

Bayleys’ management and Ray and Linda’s clients will attest to the negotiating expertise of this husband and wife team. 

Fundamental to Ray and Linda’s business approach is cementing good relationships where clients will want to transact with them again and will feel confident in recommending them.

“At the end of the day we want the people we transact with to feel comfortable sitting around the dinner table with us,” says Linda.
