It’s a fact that all agents aren’t equal. it’s also a fact that the price you achieve is in large part due to the agent you choose. Sandra and Matt have a reputation for delivering exceptional results. How do they do this? And what do they offer that other agents don’t?

Optimal negotiating
LLB qualified, Sandra got her early training in some of our countries top law and accounting firms. She knows her way around contracts and is often applauded for achieving results where others have long since given up. She is strongly focussed on achieving the very best outcome the market will deliver.
Dedicated buyers sounding board
These days buying is every bit a process. There are numerous elements involved from sometimes complex building issues to LIMs, council files and zoning. Matt is dedicated to walking buyers through the buying process. His extensive project management and residential property experience makes him a valuable sounding board and his warm, honest and sincere approach consistently drives outstanding results.
The latest technology
Sandra and Matt utilise the latest in technology to ensure their listings are top of buyers’ minds. Every person who attends an open home is automatically sent an email with a link and photographs shortly afterwards. When buyers are often viewing a dozen or more properties in a day this is an invaluable way of retaining their interest in your home.
Wow - what an experience!! In the last year I have had to deal with a few real estate agents and over this time I have got to see how differently they work and how valuable it is to get the right person. I just wanted to highlight an amazing agent and to say a huge thank you to Sandra Power and her team for recently selling two of our rental houses in Tauranga. A huge thank you for working so hard. Firstly you always made our tenants and us feel like you had our best interests at heart. This totally impressed us and we both felt happy dealing with you. You did an amazing job in such a short time considering the different hurdles we had. Nothing was beyond you, whether it was giving us sound advice during negotiations or just mucking in and doing what had to be done for photos and open homes. Sandra even went so far as washing one of our tenants dishes and re-styling their furniture to make the most of the property photos. Nothing was ever an issue. We trust Real Estate Agents with our most valuable assets, placing our hopes and dreams in their hands, yet do we do enough research to make sure we get the right ones? If you are looking for professional, hard-working agents and really want to get someone working for you then I can truly recommend Sandra and her team. They get it done.
It was Sandra personally that we invested in initially because we liked her approach and attitude and I’m tired of the big companies. To be honest, even before the appraisal, they were one step ahead of the big guys simply because they offered a fresh approach.
Jan Wilson was an unexpected bonus to the campaign. When Sandra suggested she also come on the listing we were surprised but open to it. In the end Jan exceeded our expectations by a very wide margin. Natalie and I were extremely impressed with her determination and work ethic.
Powers have created a very solid and constantly improving foundation. They are definitely at the forefront of their industry. The quality of marketing was on point and feedback was to a high standard. Over the course of the campaign, they brought us 5 offers and had a huge number of buyers through our home.
We are very happy with the result we achieved and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Powers and Jan Wilson to others looking to sell.
I just wanted to say a massive thanks to you, Sandra, Jack and your team for getting our house sale over the line. You all did a fantastic job! From ringing me, settling details whilst on holiday in Fiji to dragging my stuff out of the attic and making the whole process easy while I’m sitting on the other side of the world. Class act! Much appreciated!
Thank you Sandra, Matt and team for all your hard work and enthusiasm in selling my parents house. Your professional approach, realistic expectations and friendly openness has resulted in a great sale for us and enable my parents to move onto the next stage in their lives. We really appreciate all the work you put in behind the scenes and your sensitivity to the health issues my mother faced at the time.
After an unsuccessful marketing campaign with a nationwide form of realtors we approached Matt & Sandra Powers to sell our property. Their brand has become very prominent in the area that we live. Immediately we knew that their approach was different, more dynamic, and their grasp of the market and how to promote the property became obvious. Within a very short time it became apparent to us that they would sell our much loved home. Literally a week later , without a single open home we were presented with two offers, the home was sold!
They made the process seamless and although it was a very emotional time for us they did the job that we entrusted them to do updating us with progress as they went along. There was never any pressure, they didn’t suggest a pricing structure but rather allowed the market to determine a realistic value for our home. We achieved a result that was acceptable to us. We would not hesitate to use Powers Real Estate and highly recommend their professional services. Thank you.
A huge thanks to the Power team! Sandra met us at our property and instantly made us feel relaxed and confident in her abilities. It is clear Property is the Power team passion as is building long term sustainable business relationships with both vendors and purchasers.
We were absolutely thrilled for Jack for our house to be his first sale and he worked extremely hard going back and forth between us to seal a deal that worked. We highly recommend the Power team to people selling their property. The team are motivated, commited to the process and most importantly honest and upfront every step of the way.
Selling a house is never easy but selling a labour of love is infinitely more difficult. Selecting the agency and agent can make the process a great deal easier or more difficult.
Powers Realty and Sandra and Matt were, without doubt, the right agency and agents. The house sold could certainly be described as a one of a kind and not only did they understand what it offered but they clearly communicated its specialness to prospective buyers in a positive and succinct manner. The outcome for all parties was a good one and more importantly was achieved in remarkably quick time. Thanks you for your commitment understanding and using your knowledge to the benefit of all.
Dear Matt and Sandra
Please accept my sincere thanks for the remarkable job you did with the sale of 25 Harvey Street. You were both exceptional and I am so grateful that you were recommended to me. I absolutely love the way you both work. You are not part of the media/real estate negativity, you do not create a limit in your heads as to the value of the home but you allow the buyers to make their decision then you coax them up. Remarkable!
I wish you both a huge amount of success with your business, you are a very talented team and will go a long way. Well done and sincere thanks.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Powers whether you're thinking of buying or selling; they've achieved impressive results faciliting both for me. It's obvious Sandra and Matt know their stuff and I can always trust they'll recommend the most effective options to achieve the best results - so less stress. They're always quick to respond, lovely to deal with. They're professionals, but it's a family business and I feel like I'm treated as such. Thanks guys!
Thank you so much to Team Power. I know you worked so hard getting our house sold. You're all so lovely to deal with. I really appreciated the help with spouting etc. It took such a lot of stress from me and I'm super grateful. You made us feel like our house was just as important as any other house you are selling, even though it's in the bottom price scale! Thanks again. You guys are the shizzle and we really appreciated it.
You guys are great – I think your brand – POWERS is damn strong, and I can see your business flying. Being a nimble owner operator, - I can see you outpacing the larger companies in the area via a simpler and more personal / sincere service. Securing the $2m number that we felt the property was worth was no small feat, and getting it done in a week was pretty amazing. Keep up the great work – with your magic powers!!
Sandra and Matt’s professionalism, modern approach and use of social media are what attracted us to engage Powers Realty to sell our home. Their calming professional manner, speed at which the property was presented to the market and good communication made the sale process easier and ultimately achieved an excellent result. We have no hesitation in recommending Powers Realty.
Going with a boutique agency to sell our home meant we attained fabulous service at all times and avoided feeling like we were swept up in all the negative restraints of the old model of real estate companies. Powers Realty have got the Mount so well covered that they are on top of the market and therefore their contacts and knowledge are second to none. Thanks Matt and Sandra for realising our dream.
My husband and I listed our property (5 bed/5 bathroom house) with the Powers for a three month period. They were realistic with our expectations and passionate to try and achieve this. And achieve it they did! In fact we were contacted by another Real Estate company who told us we had broken the record for our particular subdivision. Needless to say, we were very happy with our results but also with the professionalism shown by all in the Powers Team. And yes, we would definitely recommend them.
I couldn't be more happy with my first home purchase, Matt and the team at Powers Realty were incredibly helpful and I could tell Matt was working to balance a great outcome for both the vendor and myself as a purchaser. As a first home buyer, Matt and the team made the process comfortable and easy, I got the house I wanted at the price I was comfortable with and I will choose Powers Realty for my future property investments.
Finding someone you trust to sell your family home in a time of grief was easy for us. Sandra and Matt's business is run on a proven track record of trust and results. Every step of the way we followed their advice and trusted the process. They made the process bearable when it seemed impossible. Sandra and Matt managed the selling of our family home capably in our absence as we reside in Auckland. For anyone considering 'who to sell their beloved property' I couldn't recommend these two enough. I wish you every success in what is shaping up to be a very successful business.
Thanks Sandra and Matt for helping us to finally secure our dream family home in Mount Maunganui after a long and exhaustive search. We appreciated your approach and professionalism throughout the process and are thrilled with the result.
My house was listed with two other agents before I decided to list with Sandra and Matt. Within three weeks the house was under contract! Super awesome contact and feedback and stayed in touch constantly about my property, what the market was doing and marketing strategies. Sandra even went to auction for me to buy my next property - whether you are selling or buying, (or as in my case, both) I can't recommend this agency enough. I genuinely believe they have your best interests at heart and that they have really gone the extra mile for me. A++ for service and results.
Sandra, Matt and the team at Powers Realty made the purchase of our new beach house and the sale of our existing apartment very easy for us. They went above and beyond what was expected and made the whole process stress free. They were professional yet friendly and approachable, offered good guidance and the communication was excellent. We were out of town throughout most of the process but, left in their capable hands, it was not an issue. We would definitely recommend Powers Realty to anyone looking for a trustworthy and knowledgeable team.
Massive thank you to Matt & Sandra and the team. Such a friendly and professional experience, ultimately achieving a fantastic result. Couldn’t ask for anything more!! Highly recommend buying and selling with the Powers team.
You have truly created a unique brand that surprises, delights and exceeds clients expectations. I love how considered every touch point of the brand is. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and how quick and easy the sale was. I look forward to seeing the success and growth of Powers Reality. All the best.
Sandra and Matt were so great to work with and made the whole buying process a breeze, they were always quick to answer the phone and emails and follow up with any queries I had. It was nice to be able to go around to their beautiful home to sign documentation instead of a dull real estate office too. The bottle of wine and the gifts rewards scheme was over and above.
From the word go, the whole team dealt with my property with style and enthusiasm, which brought me a great result. To top it off, I was given a selection of treats to reward me for listing with them - I received a stunning bouquet of flowers with champagne, how fabulous.
Thanks to you all!
We cannot thank Matt and Sandra Power enough for the sale of our house and assisting us in purchasing our dream home. You are such an incredible team from start to finish. Both very professional, a wealth of knowledge but also so genuinely caring and helpful towards our deals. Your communication kept us informed all the way and you both went the extra mile for both our sale and purchase. We would recommend Powers Realty 100 times over. #bestagentsinthebay
We bought and sold with Powers Realty recently and wanted to pass on our thanks to the team for their support. They have the right mix of being courteous, professional, and easygoing, while guiding us through both the purchase and sale processes with minimal disruption. We felt we could call Sarah or Matt with any questions and they could respond quickly (one of the bonuses of working with an independent agency). We were really happy to get a multi-offer within a week of going on the market and very pleased with the result.
Matt and Sandra, I can't thank you both enough for the help you have given me to find a home. I have learnt so much thanks to you guys and you made the process as stress free as possible. Thank you for being so patient with me and offering me so much advice. Forever grateful.
We signed with Sandra because of the way she thinks about every campaign differently. When Sandra first appraised our property, she didn't look so much at sales around the area, she based her appraisal on face value. Our house offered something a little extra and Sandra was confident that we’d achieve more than the average sale price. And she wasn’t wrong! Her approach to marketing was fantastic. Being in the marketing industry we understood how important this part of the sale was and Sandra’s commitment to getting it perfect was extremely welcoming. Thanks to Sandra and her team, we could not be happier with the result.
When Mum (83yrs) decided to sell her house, it was a scary and unknown process she stepped into. I can't say 'thank you' enough for Sandra's gentleness, and her sensitive listening to Mum from start to finish. It took a huge load off my mind to know that she was there to support us. I so appreciated her offer that I call anytime if I needed her to explain or repeat something to Mum. Sandra and Matt kept us in touch with clear information and progress and were never pushy when decisions had to be made. Their work achieved an extraordinary price that far exceeded our expectations. With such good communication I felt completely 'in the loop' with whatever was happening and they were always appropriate with Mum's needs. That in itself made a huge difference to my actually enjoying the whole process and I wouldn't hesitate to deal with them again.
Thanks for everything we're surrounded by boxes but very excited to be in our new home, couldn't have done it without the dedication of all of you. Going the extra mile, dog delivery included😜xx
Thanks for helping us achieve such a great result on Hinewa Road. BB and I just strolled to Back Porch for brunch... walking back I felt a surge of gratitude for living here. It happens regularly! Thanks SP for helping make it possible. It really has changed our lives for the better. ❤️
THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH for all your hard work. We have been really impressed with your work over this short, painless campaign! This is an excellent outcome and Mazzy, Don and I are super excited to move forward (and south for at least 6 months) with our exciting lives..... big hugs and gratitude to you all xxx
I appreciate how hard you've worked on our behalf, the care and respect you've shown to us personally, and the way you've gone beyond expected real estate duties given our absence in being able to look after the property day-to-day.
Hey Sandra. Just want to say a huge thank you to both you and matt. You both have been a massive help to mum and I. Couldn't have done it with out you both.
Congratulations on the successful sale of Mavora’s house and a huge thank you for your perseverance in achieving the sale. We really appreciate all of your efforts and felt that you kept Mum, and us, well informed throughout. To me the telling part was the work you did post-auction and you were very clearly the best team for the job.
DOUBLE POWER – ‘The A Team’ – Sandra and Matt are professional, enthusiastic, patient, warm and friendly. They go out of their way to support and deliver, nothing is ever a problem. Their work ethic is outstanding. A perfect combination – phone them now – you will not be disappointed! Sandra sold my son’s house and Matt found one for me, so I have seen them work on both sides.
Matt and Sandra were amazing to deal with and helped us achieve an exceptional result with the sale of our property.
Amazing result Team Power. I can’t tell you enough how impressed we are with the effort you guys put into this!
We couldn’t be happier with the results from our two house sales this year with the Power Property Team. You only need to ask any one of their clients to find out how experienced, hard working, and accommodating they are to ensure you reach the top dollar in the current market. We will undoubtedly use them for all of our future property endeavours, and couldn't recommend them highly enough.
This may not sound like a traditional description of a real estate agent but Sandra and Matt are honest, not pushy, they’re hard-working, smart, thoughtful, professional, creative and most of all they are genuine. It seems they never rest and are first-rate communicators which really help make the process smooth. Having now bought a house from them, bought a house through them and sold the first house through them too, we have a unique 360 degree experience of their approach and it always feels like you have the best team on your side. We have been so pleased with the result whether we were buying or selling. We now recommend them to anyone who’ll listen and wouldn’t deal with anyone else in future.
It takes special agents to purchase one, and sell another two properties through in the space of 6 weeks. Matt and Sandra are these agents. Matt's no pressure, relaxed and honest approach combined with his "patience of a saint" made him our preferred agent to find what we were looking for. When the going got tough on the selling side, Sandra's kind words of encouragement and sound advice kept me persevering to find a buyer for our home. Thank you very much Matt and Sandra for helping me to realise my dream home in paradise #Mount Maunganui.
We first met Matt and Sandra as they were selling the house that we bought. At that time we really appreciated their honest and genuine approach. They provided us with really good advice and we were impressed with their professionalism. We also sold our house in Papamoa through Sandra and Matt. We found them to be highly creative, professional, very hard working, excellent communicators … But most of all I think we just appreciated them for being good people. They work hard, do a great job, and we got an excellent result.
Living and working in Panama, it was never going to be easy returning to Tauranga / Mt Maunganui area to find a future retirement property with only 10 days available. We needn’t have worried, with Sandra and Matt Power being very friendly and accommodating while at the same time completely professional. Having contacted Sandra prior to our arrival, to explain our requirements, Sandra and Matt put together a list of properties they thought we might be interested in.
The first property we visited with Matt being the one we eventually purchased. We felt Sandra and Matt went far beyond normal work in following through questions and finding information that would have been difficult for us, once we had returned to Panama. It was truly a pleasure working with Sandra and Matt.
We had a fantastic experience dealing with Sandra and Matt. Sandra listened to our needs and captured the marketing angle of our property to achieve an outstanding result for all parties involved. Throughout the selling process they maintained a high level professionalism, kept us informed on potential buyers and their price expectations which resulted in a ‘no surprises’ conclusion to the sales process. We felt comfortable selling our home with Sandra and Matt and would certainly be happy to do so again in the future.
We have now sold three properties with Sandra and her team and recommend her to anyone we talk to. Sandra doesn’t let listings become stale, she continues to refresh and refocus to achieve timely results. None of our properties stayed on the market long even in difficult market conditions. None were easy sales in ‘hot’ markets. Sandra pays attention to detail in directing the listing images and script ready for market and this extra focus has really cut through the clutter in our experience. Sandra has a unique and refreshing approach and works enthusiastically for her clients.
We were most impressed with Sandra’s level of professionalism throughout the process, from both selling and buying perspectives. Sandra is very personable and easy to deal with. She quickly became a trusted advisor and a good friend.
Sandra is clearly very knowledgeable and we were comforted by the holistic and individualised advice that she provided us with. Our best interests were always in the forefront of her mind and she was more than happy to offer her time along with her wealth of personal property experience at any time.
Sandra is an exceptional real estate agent who we would not hesitate in recommending.
In selling our property, Sandra had achieved a result that we never dreamed of – it was completely beyond our expectations.
Throughout the campaign Sandra was extremely positive and professional – always keeping in touch with us re attendance at open homes and providing feedback from same. Any queries were promptly responded to in spite of us being out of the country during much of the auction campaign.
We have no hesitation in recommending Sandra if you are in the real estate market as we have found her honest and passionate about her profession and her results prove that.
I have worked in property development for many years and have lots of experience with real estate agents. Sandra has an exceptionally astute understanding of the market and found the right buyer, dealing with both sides with empathy and professionalism. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
We had tried unsuccessfully to market our home in Papamoa with another company, and were frustrated by the lack of enthusiasm shown. We searched online for reviews and found Sandra to be an overwhelming favourite. She was prompt and efficient, and most of all enthusiastic. We could tell she really wanted to sell our home. Sure enough, in a few short weeks we had a secure offer for what we were after. We loved our home in the Bay, and knew that it would strike a chord with the right buyer. Sandra found them and made it happen with ease. Highly recommended.
Sandra Power was exceptional in managing the sale of my house. The quality of the feedback and communication throughout the process was outstanding. Sandra’s enthusiasm and drive played a significant role in taking the sale through to a successful outcome for both myself and the buyers.
Sandra challenges the norms of the industry with a fresh perspective, innovative ideas and endless energy and enthusiasm. Right from the start she impressed us with a very compelling, creative and cost effective marketing campaign. She thinks outside of the box to get the most value out of your budget using online strategies and her effective property videos. She was driven and determined to get our property sold and her motivation didn’t waiver for a second until it was. Her background in law gives her a significant advantage with her understanding of contracts, ability to negotiate and her professional attitude. Quite simply she’s an outstanding agent.
We were thrilled with the service we got from Sandra and her team. Selling our home was a delightful experience and they did a fabulous job. The process was quick and easy and most of all we got a great result. We would not hesitate to recommend them.
After seeing the great result achieved by Sandra on a listing she had in Oceanbeach Rd I decided to see if she could repeat her magic on my property. Sandra was enthusiastic and proactive as well as professional with good communication throughout the process. My property was listed with the 3 week marketing plan. The auction took place and my house was sold to the highest bidder. I was very happy with the successful sale.
Throughout the marketing and sales process, Sandra was always professional, communicated regularly by phone and email, provided excellent reports on how the marketing was progressing, and ensured we were happy with everything. On Sandra’s recommendation, our house went to auction, with a very successful outcome. We were very impressed with the whole sales process, and would recommend Sandra Power as a person with outstanding communication, who is thoroughly professional at all times, and listens to, and acts on her clients’ needs.
Thanks Sandra and team. It was a tough road. Thanks for your skills and most of all the kindness your whole team showed to our family.
Having relocated to the BOP, we met Matt early on in our search for our next home. He impressed us with his ability to ask the right questions and he really listened. He tried very hard to get a feel for who we were and what sort of property we would be attracted to, and was realistic in his outlook and feedback. Matt continued to stay in touch regularly and showed great patience over the next six months providing updates and advice on properties coming onto the market.
Matt ultimately managed us through some tough negotiating to get a great result for us in the purchase of our 'forever' home.
Exemplary - We highly recommend Matt and the 'Power Team'.
The Powers Team put their customers first, give realistic expectations about what to expect as a buyer or seller, then work hard across the whole team to ensure that those expectations are at very least met. We concluded 3 deals through them during 2019 and can happily confirm that the experience was exemplary.
If you are looking for agents who are driven to do a great job, with integrity, then we say look no further!
