Testimonials

We cannot fault the performance and professionalism of Alison Whittle, Alisa Elsley and their Efficient and helpful team at Bayleys. It was a pleasure to do business with them and would recommend them to everyone.

Vendor of 19 Kinder Street | April 2025

We dealt mainly with Alison's team member Alisa Elsley. What struck me was the promptness and clearness of communication from Alisa and Alison. Something that is key in a house deal and yet I found that not all agents use this skill as well. It stood out.

Purchaser of 1/7 Tui Street | March 2025

Alison and Alisa were extremely helpful. They were always very quick to reply, were able to answer all my questions, and were very professional in all our interactions. They made sure the entire process ran very smoothly, which put my mind at ease.

Purchaser of 26 Tremaine Avenue | March 2025

We have bought and sold property through Alison and appreciate her professionalism and easy manner. We found her to be very trustworthy and open. I highly recommend her real-estate services to anyone looking to buy or sell. Her communication and market knowledge are excellent.

Vendor of 2 Cherry Lane | March 2025

Alisa was fabulous to work with. From the original phone call to set up viewings, to recommendations of current open home in the area. Her experience of matching clients to properties proved to be a boon for us we have found and secured our future home. Would recommend people to her in a heart beat.

Purchaser of 3B Isobel Street | July 2025

“Alison & Alisa were fantastic to work with! They made the entire selling process smooth and stress-free, providing great communication and expert advice every step of the way.”

Vendor of 7 Tuapapa Road | February 2025

“Our journey to make the move to Taupo have taken much longer than anticipated and Alison has shown us a number of properties over this time. Alison has always made herself available to either on the phone or to show us properties in person or made other arrangements for us to view.”

Purchaser of 1/14 Norman Smith Street | February 2025

We listed our holiday home with Bayleys on a Thursday, and after two open homes the following weekend with 21 groups through, it was sold on the Monday. We achieved a price above RV in a market where similar homes were selling below RV. What’s not to like about the expertise of Alisa and Alison in bringing the sale to a conclusion so quickly and successfully? We liked the mother/daughter vibe, and communication throughout our short journey was excellent and frequent. We hadn’t sold a house for twenty plus years, but we were guided through the sale process with great patience despite all our questions.

The team at Bayleys are very experienced and work in with each other very well. We had several of the team dealing with our sale, but their in-house communication was top notch and we never felt we were in the dark or forgotten about. If we had another house to sell, we would definitely use Bayleys again.

Vendor of 5 Kempton Place | September 2025

“Once the plan was made, Alison kept in contact. When the marketing started we received feedback constantly so we were in the loop always. Alison was very professional in her approach, indicating her experience as a real estate agent. It was a very seamless process.”

Vendor of 36 Rainbow Drive | February 2025

We enjoyed our sales experience with Alison, Alisa and the team from start to finish. They made the whole process very easy for us as out of town Vendors. Attention to detail and with just the right amount of communication and information throughout the process. They respected our property and demonstrated genuine interest in its features from the first viewing. Their approach also aligned well with what we were looking for when we decided to sell the property. A team approach which worked very well.

Vendor of 868 Acacia Bay Road | December 2025

Alison and Alisa are the best agents I have ever dealt with. I had a very prolonged, drawn-out sale on my previous property and they hung in there with me for the whole time.

The end result was I purchased my dream home after 9 months and it was because I had such great agents persevering with me.

Alison is a true professional in her job, and her integrity gives you a feeling of confidence and reassurance.

I would recommend Alison to anyone looking to buy or sell a property in the Taupo region- she knows her market extremely well.

Purchaser of 19 Magnolia Rise | January 2026

We liked Alison & Alisa from the moment we met them. As a team we found their manner to be friendly & approachable and willing to put in the ‘hard yards’ to get the job done. Thank you A & A for finding the right buyer for our home and allowing us to move forward to our next project. We wish you both a successful 2026.

Vendor of 66 Ramsay Drive | February 2026

I can't thank Alisa enough for helping me find and secure my new home. What made the experience truly special was that the property I ended up purchasing wasn't even on my radar — Alisa introduced it to me because she'd taken the time to really understand what I was looking for. She knew it was perfect for me before I did, and she was absolutely right.

From that moment on, Alisa was a steadfast advocate for me throughout the entire process. When it came to negotiating the deal, her skills really came to the fore — she worked tirelessly to get it across the line and I'm so grateful she did.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Alisa to anyone looking to buy or sell. She goes well beyond what you'd expect, and I truly feel she had my best interests at heart every step of the way.

Purchaser of 66 Ramsay Drive | February 2026

This was my second experience with Alisa and she has been just as great as the first time. Originally we purchased the home with her a few years ago and now she has helped with the sale due to a separation. She handled our situation so delicately, was proactive and engaged and communicated regularly with both parties involved. Would absolutely work with her again.

Vendor of 2/141 Waikato Street | May 2026

Alison was a genuine pleasure to work with throughout the sale process. Her communication was excellent from start to finish, keeping us informed every step of the way and making the entire experience straightforward and stress free.

She went above and beyond to help get the property ready for sale, including organising a reliable local painter and assisting with all the little details that make a difference.

Alison was professional, approachable and always willing to help. We felt well supported throughout the process and would happily recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell property in the Taupō area.

Vendor of 14B Laughton Street | June 2026

To trust someone with your biggest asset and achieve an outcome that you can be happy with is amazing and WOW did Alison and Alisa do just that. There was no stress along the way, just a lot of laughs and communication.

We would totally recommend you both to anyone that crosses our path to buy or sell a property in Taupo.

Thank you so very much xx

Vendor of 43 Harakeke Drive | June 2025

Alison has facilitated two purchases and a sale of property for us over the last five years from overseas. We were unable to view any of the properties but she and Alisa gave a detailed videos and honest and solid advice. They also spoon fed us every step of the way and were always able to respond or video call at a times that weren’t always convenient for them considering the ten hour time difference. We are very grateful for the high level of integrity and dedication we have always received even when things get complicated.
