If you are selling in Mercer, Ray White Tuakau offers a locally connected business with award-winning sales experience and a choice of five people to work with. Christine Montagna, Adrian Montagna, Beryl Bell, Nick King and Ray Newson each bring a different combination of property knowledge, customer service and Franklin connections.
A Mercer home deserves more than a broad description of the area. The way it lives, the space outdoors, access, parking and the work already done all help a buyer decide whether it is right for them. The team brings experience in rural property, renovation and building design to help you recognise and explain those strengths.
Choose someone who listens to what your move needs to achieve and takes the time to understand your home. You should be able to discuss the appraisal openly, agree how the property will be presented and know how you will hear about buyer interest.
Our team gives you several ways to connect. You might value longstanding local relationships, an experienced rural perspective or a practical eye for improvements. Here is what each salesperson brings.
Beryl Bell has spent her life in the wider area and brings experience across sales and rentals. With daughters and grandchildren also living in Franklin, her commitment to the place and its people is personal.
Beryl takes time to understand the reasons behind a move and the choices her clients are weighing up. She draws on her network of local contacts and resources and values clear, helpful communication. For Mercer owners who want an approachable advocate with a genuine interest in their plans, Beryl’s relationship-focused style is a strong reason to get to know her.
Adrian Montagna grew up in Franklin and has worked in real estate since 2015. His earlier hospitality career developed the rapport, service and attention to detail he brings to working with buyers and sellers.
Adrian earned Ray White Elite Performer recognition for 2024/2025, following Premier Performer in 2023/2024. Alongside that achievement, his rugby coaching, community connections and experience helping on his family’s lifestyle block keep him closely connected with the wider area. His energy and personal, hands-on approach give sellers a confident choice.
Nick King brings business ownership, hospitality and property-renovation experience. Since 2020, his renovation and trading work has included cosmetic upgrades and full refurbishments, with responsibility for budgeting, compliance and coordinating trades.
For a seller thinking about how much work to do before photography, those are useful experiences to draw on. Nick understands the practical choices behind an improved home and brings attention to detail and follow-through to his sales work. His straight-talking approach suits owners who want clear conversations about preparation and the process ahead.
Office owner Christine Montagna combines a farming background with residential and rural real estate experience dating from 2006. She brings a hands-on approach and a broad property perspective to owners planning their next move.
Christine’s 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. She became the business owner in 2022. Her professional recognition and longstanding community involvement give Mercer sellers a strong foundation for a conversation about the property and the sale they want to plan.
Ray Newson, Sales Associate to Christine, brings more than 28 years in sales and customer service, primarily in building, design and architectural sectors. That background helps him appreciate the details that make a home practical and appealing.
His work in the community includes Franklin and Pukekohe softball, Pukekohe Rugby and Karioitahi Surf Life Saving Club. Ray combines professional communication with years of helping people understand products, designs and choices, bringing another useful strength to presenting a Mercer home to buyers.
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.
Read buyer and seller reviews to hear about clients’ experiences, and explore the full Tuakau sales-team guide to get to know the people further.
A Mercer campaign should show what everyday life at the actual address offers: the home’s layout, outdoor space, access, parking and the way it is presented. Buyers considering a riverside settlement may also ask practical questions about their regular journeys and the property information available. Clear answers are more useful than a broad promise about an easy commute or future growth.
Ask your salesperson to distinguish confirmed features from proposed changes in the wider area. Council’s Mercer blueprint sets out community priorities; it does not establish that every proposed project has been funded or completed.
Talk about the comparable evidence behind your appraisal, preparation, photography and viewing access. Agree how you will hear about buyer interest and when you will sit down together to review the campaign. Your plans for moving and settlement should be part of the conversation from the beginning.
