Greg Russell

Passionate about real estate, Greg Russell has had extensive experience marketing family homes through to premium waterfront properties, rental investments to holiday homes, renovations to redevelopments and deceased estates. Greg’s work ethic is second to none. He believes that only excellence prevails and has demonstrated his willingness again and again to provide nothing less.

With more than 600 career sales under his belt he brings a wealth of experience to the negotiating table for the benefit of all who contract his services and past clients, many of whom have been more than once, say Greg is diligent, hard-working and patient.  They felt their interests have been his first priority, he has communicated well, exceeded expectations and was above all, professional.

From the South Island originally, Greg has a broad background in a raft of diverse industries including horticulture, sporting goods, freight forwarding, shipping and also spent some time in the defence forces as a territorial soldier.

In 1999, with the lifestyle and beauty of Mount Maunganui seeming all too irresistible, Greg moved down from Auckland and his passion for selling real estate and the challenges and joys therein, began. The result of that vision and his desire to succeed is now a story engraved on various company and industry trophies.

Recognition was first achieved in 2001 when he secured the ‘Rookie of the Year’ award, and later that year ‘The Most Promising New Salesperson’ for the REINZ Waikato, Bay of Plenty and Gisborne district.  In 2002 he was recognised among the industry’s elite when he gained the REINZ Award of Excellence for Outstanding Achievement in Residential Sales. He became the ‘Eves Residential Salesperson of the Year’ in 2003 and retained that accolade through 2004, 2005 & 2006 after which he transferred to sister company Success Realty trading as Bayleys Real Estate.

Based in the award winning team at Mt Maunganui, this office was the number one amongst its Realty Group peers in 2017, and also won the highly coveted REINZ accolade of National winner ‘Small Residential Office of the Year – Highest Gross Commission’.

Bayleys is ‘committed to maximising the return of their client’s real estate assets’ and in doing so believe ‘marketing is everything’. This ethos is embraced by prudent sellers who know when they choose Bayleys, their property is in skilled hands.

Being pro-active, forward thinking and with a deep desire to see his client’s requirements fulfilled, Greg’s personal mission statement says it best….

‘Committed to success through helping others achieve their real estate goals’.
