Walking the walk Passion, persistence, dedication, enthusiasm, confidence, kindness and helpfulness... words used by Darryn Laskey’s vendors to describe his service. Choosing an experienced agent to sell your property is an “essential” ingredient to obtaining success in any market.
Larger than Life Darryn Laskey does not do anything by half. There’s nothing passive in his personality. His energy and enthusiasm are palpable. When he takes on the responsibility of selling your property he does it whole heartedly and with one goal, to achieve your goal; and with total confidence he will do so. Manawatu born Darryn loves the career that followed farming in Northland. He moved to Auckland’s North Shore and into real estate and now, around 25 years later, he says “Still beats working for a living!” Longevity in the industry means he has experienced the best and the worst markets and thrived in both through sheer hard work, self motivation, organisation and discipline.

Top tips to prepare your property for sale Contrary to popular belief, homeowners don’t need to spend a lot of money to realise a strong return. Research suggests making small home improvements prior to selling is a worthwhile investment.
01 Lighten and brighten
04 Stage the home
One of the most noticeable, yet economical improvements includes cleaning windows, wiping all light fixtures and pruning trees to maximise natural light.
Often the secret to a quick sale. Decorate the house with fresh flowers, play music and remove personal items.
02 Clean and de-clutter Clean entryway, buy a new front door mat, remove excess furniture, board pets and get rid of odours.
03 Kitchen and bathrooms Make the most obvious improvements first. These include replacing damaged tiles, repainting if colour is dated or poor quality, repairing damaged counter tops, touching up cabinetry and replacing the toilet seat.
05 Repair electrics/plumbing Before showing the house, all defects to light switches, overhead lights and plumbing fixtures should be replaced.
06 Landscape Mow, trim and re-sow bare lawns, remove all debris, secure fences and add colourful plants and flowers.
07 Replace or clean carpets If carpets are faded or damaged, consider shampooing to improve smell and appearance.
08 Exterior touch ups Give special attention to garage, front doors, window and door frames and blistering paint. Tired fences, holes in gutters, missing tiles on the roof etc. should be attended to.
09 Interior touch ups Retouching may suffice. Also consider removing dated wallpaper, whitewashing dark panelling, having leaks, watermarks and cracked ceilings repaired.

The perfect balance
Some years ago, Darryn and his family made a considered choice to move to Papamoa for the lifestyle and the opportunities. They built their family home in Papamoa and quickly become local property experts by concentrating in and around the Papamoa area. For branding they chose Property Brokers recognising their progressive market share both locally and nationally, advanced systems and positive team spirit. Darryn makes a point of taking regular time off for himself and his family, their “Team Laskey” caravan has become a regular at many campsites with them continuing to enjoy a long time family tradition.
Natasha Laskey Natasha helps administrate ‘Team Laskey’ and provides a backup support that is second to none. Keeping up with the latest technology, with a strong focus towards online marketing, ensures that clients get the most effective and most up-to-date marketing options for their property.

With Natasha also being in the industry for over two decades it would be fair to say that she is one of the most experienced in her field and gives further proof to knowing that every member of Team Laskey has the longevity, experience and skill set to ensure a positive and successful outcome for your property sale. Having the perfect balance with work and play is the very reason this highly successful team have been doing so well, for so long. With two children, Brooke and Jacob, requiring ferrying to and from school, karate, soccer, dance and surf life saving means the whole family must be organised, prompt and reliable. Focus, efficiency, effectiveness... and fun! That’s the Laskey promise!

Moving checklist There are many things to consider before, during, and after you’ve moved house. But help is at hand! To ensure a hasslefree experience, we’ve produced a handy checklist to guide you through the process. 01 Before the move The week before moving day, start working through the following if you haven’t already: Do a pre-settlement inspection of your new home Make an appointment with your lawyer to sign the final documents Confirm arrangements for utilities Confirm arrangements with moving company Start notifying friends, family and companies of your new address Plan simple meals for the few days leading up to and just after the move Create a list of things that the kids may need including medicines and saying goodbye to their friends.
02 One day to go With the big move imminent, remember to undertake these last minute items: Defrost fridge / freezer Set aside any manuals /information, baking trays etc. for the new home owners / tenants Set aside one room for the packers / movers /yourself to work freely in Prepare any items for the move that require dismantling Pack a box of essential items for when you first arrive at your new home and have it put aside to go with you i.e.. basic kitchenware, toilet paper etc.
03 Moving day Record all meter readings (gas, electricity, water) Keep all cash, valuables and paperwork with you Stay at the house with your movers and sign off an inventory of goods Finish any cleaning and remove all rubbish Do a final walk-through of your home to make sure everything has been removed Lock everything up and drop off the keys with your real estate agent or landlord Once everything is unloaded, sign off the inventory – keep your copy until all charges have been paid and claims (if any) are settled.
04 Change of address Check all relevant people have been notified:
Friends and family Electricity / gas company Telephone / mobile / internet / Sky Bank Accounts / credit cards Insurance companies NZ Transport Authority WINZ Inland Revenue / accountant Post Office Doctor / dentist / medical specialists Vet Loyalty and store cards Newspaper / magazine subscriptions Rubbish bin collection School / kindergarten / child Care AA Membership Health and Fitness clubs

Consistent success through all markets Tough times call for tough decisions so hiring an agent who has the courage, experience, and skill to go through with a plan that gets your property sold, is critical.
agent for New Zealand with a large real estate company – at a time when agents were leaving the industry in droves. This is a clear indication that Darryn flourishes in challenging times, is a troubleshooter, and is not afraid to stay the distance when others walk away.
In his more than 24 years in real estate Darryn has seen the market wax and wane. In the past he has operated in distressed real estate markets – including the GFC in 2008 when property sales took a hammering. In spite of this, that year Darryn was recognised as #4
With Covid-19 possibly affecting our future, we once again face a problematic housing market which calls for a strong hand at the helm to get the job done for home sellers. Darryn Laskey will walk that road with you – he’s done it before and he’s ready to do it now.
A great place to call home Team Laskey is big on being local and like every local, absolutely loves The Bay Of Plenty and the lifestyle it offers. An adage quite often heard is ‘another day in paradise’ and never a truer word has been spoken. This is possibly why so many families from all around this great country of ours continue to migrate to this wonderful place we call home, further assisting in the phenomenal growth we have continued to experience in both residential and commercial property.
