Formidable duo's awards confirm worth
This article was prepared by Bayleys Realty Group and is being published by the New Zealand Herald as advertorial. Arun Mehan didn't expect to win Bayleys' Bay of Plenty Rookie of the Year award recently – but it didn't surprise his father-in-law. A stalwart of the region's horticultural landscape for 32 years, Snow Williams also claimed a well-deserved award as Individual Country Salesperson of the Year. Together they are formidable – both in work and in home life. Married to Snow's daughter, conversations about real estate were bound to crop up. With a managerial background in retail and horticulture, sales wasn't in Arun's mind. However, after taking the plunge, he grabbed attention straight away. Selling four properties in a week early on, Arun's personal number of residential sales for 2024/25 is 46. Alongside Snow, lifestyle sales climb higher again. Mentored by Snow from the outset, Arun sums it up nicely. 'Everything I know, I know from Snow.' Don't for a minute think he rides on Snow's coat-tails – though they are worth hanging on to. Snow saw something in Arun from the outset – and couldn't be happier to have him as a son-in-law. Sit down with this pair for a while – and their bond is obvious. After almost a year in real estate, Arun is as familiar around the traps as Snow – heavily involved in the community in and around Bay of Plenty – sponsoring schools in Pongakawa, Paengaroa and Te Puke and helping to raise money whenever he can. Doing up to seven appraisals a week, with a person-to-person approach and door knocking, Arun believes in being totally hands on. Also wanting to give back; Arun donates money to Te Puke Fire Brigade from every sale. Sales come quickly, thanks to his personal approach and forthright honesty – appraising a property, placing it correctly and being upfront when it comes to presentation, marketing and the best sales process to run with. Thanks to a significant database that Snow has built up over the years, and Arun's own system – connecting people with property underpins what both men achieve. Arun says money doesn't drive him. It's people. People first, property second. That might sound trite – but Arun's personality and authenticity can't be taken lightly. Snow's the same – which explains his success and place in the community. With a larger-than-life character; his originality and straight talking doesn't go down well with some vendors at times. Within the horticultural sector, his sole focus is to match people with the right orchard, and what will work for them. He knows this region inside out. Arun thinks the same – willing to walk away from a sale if he knows he won't be able to attain a vendor's expectation. Yet, often he gets more. Both men have irresistible self-belief – refreshingly unpretentious. The market has changed since post Covid days, when prices were obscene at times. Reality revolves around current statistics, however – and being truthful. Sold signs don't lie. Arun's residential sales are impressive – Te Puke, Pāpāmoa, Pongakawa, Pukehina – even Ōmokoroa; with a property that had no prior success on the market. Snow's record speaks for itself – top country salesman. Together they run their own show – Arun's PA, Danielle Perry, is also integral to the team – mindful of Bayleys' brand, yet with a spark that sets them apart. Look out for the billboards and back-of-the-bus images soon. The twinkle in their eyes is hard to ignore.

Luxury Market Peaks At Final Pacifica Penthouse
Press Release – Bayleys Realty Group Global economic uncertainty and ongoing geopolitical tensions are reigniting global demand for tangible assets – particularly prime real estate in countries renowned for their stability, governance, and lifestyle advantages, Bayleys salespeople say. Amid this renewed appetite for security and permanence, the final remaining penthouse at The Pacifica offers a rare and unmatched opportunity for top-tier buyers seeking world-class luxury and architectural prestige in the heart of Auckland. Commanding the highest residential elevation in New Zealand, the penthouse crowns the nation's tallest residential tower and spans more than 355sqm (3,821sqft) of elegantly crafted, single-level grandeur. Bayleys general manager – Projects, Gavin Lloyd, describes it as a private sanctuary in the sky – a true jewel in the crown of New Zealand's luxury property market. Lloyd is marketing Penthouse 5402 at 10 Commerce Street for sale by negotiation with colleagues Jo Johnstone and Carol Cong. 'This is a statement in architectural ambition and design sophistication,' Lloyd says. 'With sweeping views across the Waitematā Harbour and city skyline, it delivers a premium urban lifestyle of scale, exclusivity, and unrivalled elegance. 'Penthouse 5402 stands alone in the market – offering an extraordinary chance to secure a generational asset at a time when high-end residential offerings are increasingly scarce and highly sought-after. 'In a climate of constrained supply and no comparable projects in the pipeline, this is a legacy acquisition. A home that cannot be replicated.' Lloyd notes that, as the global economic landscape continues to shift, New Zealand has seen renewed interest from international investors seeking secure, high-quality assets in safe haven markets – drawn by the country's strong governance, liveability, and comparative value in the global luxury real estate sector. The Bayleys team says recent volatility across major economies – driven by inflationary pressures, U.S. President Trump's 'Liberation Day' tariffs, and a sharp correction in equity markets – has prompted a new wave of offshore enquiry. 'This renewed international attention coincides with a recovering domestic economy, underpinned by steady migration and sustained confidence in New Zealand's premium property sector,' says Bayleys Residential and Special Projects salesperson Jo Johnstone. Against this backdrop, the Pacifica penthouse is a beacon of quality and permanence – a residence crafted with award-winning precision and every detail considered for optimal comfort and indulgence. Key features include a state-of-the-art Gaggenau-appointed kitchen with marble surfaces, a full butler's pantry, expansive open-plan living anchored by a travertine fireplace, and a private media room for elevated entertaining. Oak plank flooring and panelled feature walls deliver warmth and refinement, while expansive glazing that frames the sweeping views of the Waitematā Harbour and city scape ensures every corner of the home is bathed in natural light. Residents enjoy exclusive access to The Pacifica's five-star amenities, including a 24-hour concierge, valet parking, a swimming pool, sauna, spa, and gym facilities. The address also places them moments from Auckland's finest dining, retail and waterfront attractions, including superyacht berths and direct ferry access to Waiheke Island. Bayleys Remuera Residential salesperson Carol Cong says the residence has garnered renewed interest from high-net-worth individuals across the Asia-Pacific region and United States, where global uncertainty is fuelling a 'flight to quality'. 'The Pacifica took a decade to bring to life, and nothing of its scale, architectural excellence, or vertical height exists elsewhere in the country. 'For the right buyer, this is more than a penthouse – it's a generational lifestyle asset, a statement of enduring success, and a secure foothold in one of the world's most revered and stable countries,' she says.
