About Wayne Espie
Wayne Espie is one of those real estate people you just love to be working with. His real estate skills aside, Wayne's past qualifications and work/life experience as a Physiotherapist bring you a real estate professional
with undoubted people, marketing and negotiation skills, allowing him to achieve exceptional results for those he works with.

Wayne honed his unbridled Communication skills in his 25 years as a Health Care Professional. His background and caring approach gives him the valued ability to relate to people from every corner of the globe and all walks
of life, from Line Worker to Surgeon. His confident, relaxed manner made the transition from Physiotherapist to a highly skilled realtor and public negotiator (Auctioneer) appear almost seamless.

Wayne won the coveted title of 'NZ LJ Hooker Auction Idol' in both 2014 & 2015 and competed in the 2016 LJ Hooker International Auctioneering Idol finals in Cairns, Australia. In 2015 Wayne was also voted #1 in Auckland
& #2 in NZ by Vendors in the LJ Hooker "rate my agent TV promotion. In October 2018 he represented NZ again in the LJ Hooker International Auctioneering competition in Hamilton Island, Queensland and most recently he
was a competitor in the inaugural LVD Australasian Invitational Auctioneering competition in Queenstown and the 2019 REINZ Auctioneering Competition in Auckland.

The character historic properties of Freemans Bay, Ponsonby, Sandringham, Kingsland and Grey Lynn are Wayne's forte, however, he has sold many properties for premium prices anywhere from Orewa to Papakura.
Rather than rent, he bought and renovated his first similar "historic villa" in Dunedin whilst a student, selling for a handsome profit on the completion of his studies. Having a father who was an 'old-school' skilled cabinetmaker
and a mother a commissioned interior designer, whose last two self-built properties have been featured in Trends and NZ House & Garden magazines respectively, Wayne has been brought up with an eye for what
makes a property.

Wayne has a highly competitive, tenacious attitude, a unique sense of humour and a real ability to "think outside the box", making him a skilled realtor and Auctioneer you can confidently work with.

Testimonials

Will happily recommend you to colleagues.

Bev & Mick Tandy (Kumeu, Auckland)

Thank you for the professional service and personal attention you gave us when we sold our Investment apartment recently. It was an unusual and difficult property to market but from the moment we listed it with you, you were off the ground running to find a suitable buyer. It is to your credit that you globally marketed our property and the buyer is based in Singapore. Your support and understanding of our adverse health issues was great as you just took the reins and gently guided us through the whole process to a very successful outcome. Your attention to detail and drive for marketing is appreciated and we will happily recommend you to colleagues.

Wayne worked tirelessly for us to achieve the best possible result.

Phil Parker Phil Parker (Wine Writer and Personal Tour Guide Fine Wine & Fo

As a property vendor, I have found our real estate agent Wayne Espie to be an extremely proactive and energetic advocate for us in the marketing, negotiation, and final sale of our home. Under extremely difficult conditions, Wayne worked tirelessly for us to achieve the best possible result. Throughout the process, Wayne acted totally ethically, and communicated constantly to keep us informed. His negotiation skills and interpersonal relationships were, in my opinion, the key to us getting the best possible result. I would have no hesitation on recommending Wayne Espie to any other property vendor.

We recommend Wayne as someone you can trust

Anne Bond, Director Coachbond.Com

Attempting to sell privately was a stressful time consuming job, the hardest part was closing the deal as neither of us had the skill or experience to do this comfortably. We finally decided to talk to Professional Realtors and found Wayne Espie at L J Hooker, who connected with us by really listening and then worked with us to sell our home as if it were his own! His determination and honesty was something that impressed us both, along with his empathy and respect. We recommend Wayne as someone you can trust, really trust and who will work beside you and for you with the old fashioned professionalism of a person who has integrity and values.

Wayne is committed to his work

Teresa Snell, Vendor - Galway St, Onehunga

We chose not to market our property with LJ Hooker via Wayne Espie, purely as we felt our property was just a little bit too far out of his area in Waimauku, Helensville, our lifestyle property being an hour's drive for him. However, that is no reflection of his professionalism, enthusiasm and attention to detail. Wayne's presentations to us for marketing were excellent, as were his communications skills. Wayne is committed to his work, and that shows in his determination and dedication. We wish him every success.

He made buying a property from the other side of the world achievable.

Keith & Pauline Rawlings (Epsom)

In June 2011, I decided to look for a property in Auckland whilst living overseas in Canada. Wayne was my realtor and helped a lot with market analysis and on the ground information.He made buying a property from the other side of the world achievable. With Wayne's help we found and purchased an excellent property that will serve my needs when I return home. Thanks for your help Wayne.

He made the process easy

Paul Harrison

Throughout the purchasing process Wayne Espie was at all times available and honest about how negotiations were going. He made the process easy by coming to my offices and responding to emails promptly. Wayne was instrumental in us achieving a purchase price we were, and still are, happy with.

We were able to contact Wayne at any time

Sophie Gilmour

We recently bought our first property in Western Springs through LJ Hooker and had Wayne Espie as the agent. Wayne was very helpful and punctual with all the queries we had and supported us right through the process from open home to auction and settlement. He was incredibly thorough with providing information and ensured everything was followed up as required. We were able to contact Wayne at any time and he was always willing to discuss queries with us and gather further information as requested. Thanks Wayne

Went above and beyond his call of duty

Sarah & Drew Bristow

When I viewed the property Wayne was marketing I made it clear that I was only getting a feel for the market, not yet in a position to buy. Despite this Wayne took on board my comments, went above and beyond his call of duty & out of his way to understand my exact position. This in itself really set him apart from other agents I dealt with. Wayne had the property under contract when I made contact again, however fortunately for me the first deal fell over. Being 21 & a first home buyer, this was both exciting & stressful, but with Wayne's experience my deal was closed smoothly, quickly & efficiently. For these reasons and many more, I absolutely would not hesitate to recommend Wayne's services to any potential buyer or seller & if you are after an agent who will do his utmost best for you, you can't look past Wayne Espie!
