For a Buckland sale, Ray White Tuakau brings together award-winning real estate experience and practical understanding of homes and land. Christine Montagna’s farming background and support for Buckland School give her a personal connection to the community, while Adrian Montagna, Beryl Bell, Nick King and Ray Newson add their own Franklin ties and property strengths.
A village home and a lifestyle holding can appeal to different buyers, even when they share a Buckland address. Your sale deserves someone who looks closely at what you own, understands the details that make it attractive and builds the campaign around those strengths.
Choose an agent who can explain both the comparisons behind the appraisal and the story buyers should hear about your property. The quality of that conversation matters, along with experience, communication and the way you feel about working together.
Ray White Tuakau gives you five salespeople to get to know, with backgrounds that cover rural life, customer service, renovation and building design.
Christine Montagna brings residential and rural sales experience dating from 2006, a farming background and community involvement that includes support for Buckland School. She understands why land, access, improvements and the home itself all matter when presenting a lifestyle property.
Christine became the office owner in 2022. Her Ray White achievements include Chairman’s Elite in 2019/2020 and 2020/2021, Elite Performer in 2023/2024 and 2024/2025, and Premier Performer in 2025/2026. That combination of professional recognition, practical understanding and local involvement makes a strong case for speaking with her about your Buckland move.
Beryl Bell has spent her life in the wider area and brings experience across sales and rentals. Her daughters and grandchildren also call Franklin home, and family and community are central to the way she relates to her clients.
Beryl takes time to understand the personal priorities behind a move, whether that means less upkeep, more space or a change in circumstances. Her local network, approachable manner and commitment to clear communication help clients feel comfortable talking through their options. She values relationships that continue well beyond the sale.
Born and raised in Franklin, Adrian Montagna has worked in real estate since 2015. His Ray White recognition includes Elite Performer for 2024/2025 and Premier Performer for 2023/2024.
His hospitality career, rugby coaching and community involvement bring strong people skills to his work, while helping on his family’s lifestyle block gives him a personal understanding of living with land. Adrian offers energy, attention to detail and a hands-on approach for Buckland owners who want an engaged salesperson to help carry the move forward.
Nick King brings business ownership and hands-on renovation and property-trading experience dating from 2020. His projects have ranged from cosmetic upgrades to full refurbishments, including budgets and coordinating work with builders.
That background is valuable when you are deciding what deserves attention before selling a well-lived-in home or a property you have improved over time. Nick’s practical, straight-talking style helps turn preparation into a useful conversation about the home’s strengths and the work involved, backed by a service-first approach developed through hospitality and business.
Ray Newson, Sales Associate to Christine, draws on more than 28 years in sales and customer service, primarily in building, design and architectural sectors. His experience brings an appreciation of layout, design and the features that make everyday living work.
Ray’s longstanding involvement with Franklin Softball, Pukekohe Softball, Pukekohe Rugby and Karioitahi Surf Life Saving Club reflects his commitment to the wider community. For a seller, he offers a combination of professional communication, property-related knowledge and a genuine interest in helping people with their next move.
You can choose your salesperson while drawing on a locally owned business with a broad range of experience. The office’s recognition includes Ray White Premier Business Leader for 2024/2025. The team combines that professional pride with personal connections to Franklin and a genuine interest in the move you are making.

Ask your salesperson to show the evidence behind the appraisal. Land area alone does not explain value: the home’s condition, usable outdoor space, access and improvements all contribute to what a buyer is comparing. For a lifestyle property, the relationship between the home, land and outbuildings also needs to be clear.
Bring plans, consent information and details of significant work to the first discussion where you have them. Your salesperson can help identify the information buyers are likely to request and coordinate the way the property is presented.
Talk through which features deserve the strongest photography, how viewings will work and the recommended sale method. Ask how the campaign will reach buyers for your type of property and how feedback will inform the next decision. Choose your salesperson on the quality of that conversation as well as their experience.
