Rik Davies specialises in lifestyle property and has extensive experience marketing and selling throughout the Rodney area.

His philosophy is simple: if you specialise in an area, you should know what you are talking about. Lifestyle property can be very different from selling a conventional residential home, with land, location, access, outbuildings, water, services and the way a property is used all potentially influencing its value and appeal to buyers. Rik’s experience helps him understand those differences and how to present them effectively to the market.

Rik is known for his calm, friendly and straightforward approach. He takes the time to understand the property, his clients’ circumstances and what they want to achieve, then works with them to develop a realistic strategy for the sale.

Communication is an important part of that process. Rik keeps his clients informed, follows up prospective purchasers carefully and provides clear feedback throughout the campaign so that decisions can be made with a good understanding of what is happening in the market.

He is equally prepared to persevere when a property takes more work to sell. Rather than assuming every property will follow the same path, Rik believes in responding to buyer feedback, adapting where necessary and continuing to look for the right opportunity to achieve the best possible outcome.

For owners considering selling a lifestyle property, whether they are ready to go to market now or simply want to understand their options, Rik is always happy to have an initial conversation and provide practical, straightforward advice.

Rik took on our “difficult-to-sell” property, requiring a cash buyer. Rik presented a number of offers that were below par but he did not give up and his perseverance paid off with a final offer that was acceptable to us. Rik is a consummate communicator and he kept us up-to-date at all times. We recommend him wholeheartedly.

The sale of our property was recently completed by Rik Davies & Vanessa Hooper. One of the reasons we opted for Rik Davies was his impressive record of quick sales and engaging personality in the local area. The team spent unhurried and valuable time with us. Rik and Vanessa were positive from the outset and added the final polish to our house preparation through insightful, yet cost effective suggestions to attract the right buyer. They had no issues with working within our budget constraints and the house description nearly had me wanting to buy my property all over again. Well done team – you did it again! We wish you both continued success.

We are writing to thank you for the personable attention shown by your lifestyle sales specialist Rik Davies. For our first time selling a lifestyle property, we wanted somebody knowledgeable, honest and professional to guide us through the process. Rik was all that and more! Not only did he sell our homes very quickly when we were under so much family pressure, he kept in touch with us every step of the way. Our home was marketed well and as he has been established in this area for a long time resulted in plenty of visitors each weekend. We appreciated being kept informed of discussions with potential buyers and especially grateful to you for coming over when we were presented with a multi offer situation. We have no hesitation in recommending Rik to our friends and family.

I write to pass on my appreciation and sincerest thanks to Rik Davies who recently sold our property at 219 Oyster Point Rd, Kaukapakapa. I have sold several homes and had one horrific experience with a house sale several years ago. For this reason I have been anxious when it comes to entrusting any agent with something as personal and private as the sale of our home.

I found Rik to display the utmost professional manner throughout the (speedy) process of our home selling experience. We initially instigated contact with Rik some months earlier but chose not to proceed at that time. From this initial contact I was impressed by Rik’s laid back, professional, undemanding, calm nature. He did not ‘chase us’ with calls following the initial assessment and was open to revisiting when we had made contact recently. These qualities in real estate have been not often found in my experience. I again wish to express my complete satisfaction with Rik’s professionalism and service. I would highly recommend him to anyone who was considering placing their home on the market in the future.

A big compliment to you, your efforts and follow ups with us. There are not a lot of brokers who do that, so much appreciated.

Thank you for securing us such a nice place.
A satisfied buyer

Rik did a brilliant job selling our property at a premium price and followed up with an equally stellar performance helping us find a new investment. He kept us informed every step of the way and nothing was too much trouble. It was a pleasure dealing with Rik and we would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone either selling or buying a property.

I am writing to thank you for all the work you have done on my behalf. I appreciate your assistance in resolving the dilemma of the Builders report pertaining to clause 6 in the contract. This was greatly appreciated and I think you have gone above and beyond the requirements of a Real Estate Consultant. One thing you can be sure of, is that this effort on my behalf will allow me to promote your ethics and proficiency as a Real Estate Consultant to anyone else who may be selling and need a person of high integrity. Thank you again Rik, I have valued your help.
