When it came time to sell our home, we couldn’t have asked for a better real estate agent than Melvin Plaisier and his team. From the very beginning, they provided incredibly sound advice on exactly what we needed to do to prepare our property for sale. Their guidance helped us present our home in the best possible light and maximize its value. The results speak for themselves. Our house was on the market for just one week, and we achieved exactly the price we were hoping for.
We were amazed at how quickly everything came together. Throughout the entire process, Melvin went above and beyond. He worked tirelessly negotiating with buyers to secure the best possible outcome for us, while keeping us informed every step of the way. We always felt confident that he had our best interests at heart and that we were in safe hands.
Melvin’s experience, professionalism, and market knowledge are second to none. We truly can’t speak highly enough of him and his team. If you’re looking for an agent who will work hard, communicate honestly, and deliver outstanding results, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Melvin.

I first came across Melvin and Alyshia when my partner and I made an offer on a property in Bethells. It was here when I realised just how professional and motivated Melvin and his team were for their vendors at the time. So when it came time to sell my property six months later, it was a logical choice to call them. They were extra accommodating to our smaller furry family members, dealing with them for open homes and mid-week appointments, this just goes to show the lengths Melvin was prepared to go to. The video walk-through was of such high quality, I believe both Alyshia and Melvin have missed their calling as stars on Shortland Street. Along the way we had some less than desirable offers from other agents, but Melvin came through with a really strong offer, that my partner and I were very happy with. It’s not the easiest choice selecting an Agent, as they all have their own style, but one thing I didn’t want to compromise on was quality; rest assured if you choose to list with Melvin and his team you will not be disappointed. Thanks again to you Melvin, Alyshia and Emily, you form an amazing successful team.

We met Melvin when we bought our first home in 2013. Melvin gave us tonnes of invaluable advice as first homebuyers and the process went really smoothly. We loved the personalised touch of a box of goodies and a photo album to celebrate our new home. When we moved out of Auckland in 2016 we did not hesitate to use Melvin We were impressed once again by his professionalism and absolute attention to detail. He clearly explained the advertising, was clear on the fees and services offered. He uses the latest technology to sell your home; we were impressed with his sales video. Even in uncertain market conditions, our home sold within two weeks, and we were not disappointed with the sale price. Melvin’s intuition and knowledge of the market was spot on. Well done Mel, we would recommend you to any of our friends.

Melvin was recommended to us by an acquaintance and we have been extremely happy with the service we received when we sold our home recently. From the very first meeting, we felt at ease and well looked after. Melvin took the time to get to know us and recommend the best way to prepare and sell our home. We never felt rushed and appreciated his years of experience to achieve the best sale. We were very impressed with the advertising of our property and we loved our video – it was so professional. We were so happy when we were presented with a multi-offer after just a few weeks. We achieved a sale that was higher than our expectations, and this was also due to Melvin’s commitment to obtaining the best price they could for us. I also felt that his knowledge of the area was a bonus as they could share their enthusiasm and love of Swanson with prospective buyers. At each step, we were contacted and kept informed of what was happening. We also want to thank the rest of the team at Parklane Real Estate Swanson for their work behind the scenes as well. We would highly recommend them to anyone who is thinking of selling.

Melvin was recommended to us by friends. From the moment we met them, we knew they were the right people to market our property. They were able to answer all our questions, and provided advice on how to present the property to potential buyers. Everything was completed efficiently, and we were kept in the loop the whole time. Our house went on the market on the Monday, and by the Thursday we were looking at eight offers, with the sale going unconditional three days later. We were very impressed at how quickly it all happened, with it exceeding all our expectations. In the meantime Melvin also helped us find our new property, identifying potential houses that met our requirements – within a week of looking we had found it!
