Suburb profile
Living and selling in Waiake
Waiake is a small coastal pocket on Auckland's East Coast Bays, set between Browns Bay, Torbay and Long Bay. Waiake Beach is the local anchor, with a sheltered bay, reserve space and a quieter residential feel than the larger centres nearby.
The housing is mainly established residential property, including older family homes, renovated houses and homes positioned to make the most of the coastal setting. Buyers are often drawn by the combination of beach access, established streets and proximity to the shops and services of Browns Bay and Torbay.
East Coast Road provides the main connection through the area, with access onward to the Northern Motorway and North Shore busway network. School options commonly associated with the wider area include Torbay School, Northcross Intermediate and Long Bay College, but buyers should always check the current enrolment zone for a specific address.
- Who is buying Families, coastal lifestyle buyers and people wanting a quieter East Coast Bays setting.
- What sells Established family homes, renovated properties and homes that make good use of the coastal position.
- Getting around East Coast Road connects Waiake with Browns Bay, Torbay, the motorway and the wider North Shore bus network.
- Schools Torbay School, Northcross Intermediate and Long Bay College are among the schools serving the wider area, subject to current zones.
- What to watch Street position, sun, access, slope and the relationship to the beach can make a noticeable difference between nearby homes.
Matt’s Waiake insight
“In Waiake, I would focus on the individual property and its position rather than relying on a broad suburb label. The beach, street, aspect and presentation can all shape how buyers respond.”

Licensed Real Estate Salesperson · Ray White
I have built my career in environments where communication, preparation and performance matter. My background includes high-performance sport, the automotive industry, vehicle sales and managing Hampton Downs Motorsport Park. Those experiences taught me how to listen, negotiate clearly, stay composed under pressure and keep working towards a result when there are a lot of moving parts.
I grew up in New Zealand's heartland and now own a home in Auckland. I understand that property decisions are personal as well as financial. Buying or selling can bring excitement, uncertainty and plenty of questions, so I prefer a straightforward approach. I keep communication clear, explain what is happening and make sure the people I am working with feel comfortable asking questions throughout the process.
The discipline I learned through high-performance sport still influences the way I work. I prepare properly, follow through and do not like leaving things to chance. At the same time, real estate is about people. Building a good working relationship, understanding what matters to someone and negotiating with a clear head are just as important as the marketing around the property.
At Ray White, I can combine that personal approach with the marketing, technology and support of an established real estate business. Whether you are thinking about selling, looking for a property or simply trying to understand your next move, I am happy to have a practical conversation and help you work through the options.

Selling in Waiake — your questions answered
Not sure where to start? These are the questions Matt hears most from Waiake vendors.
Ask Matt directlyWho is a good real estate agent in Waiake?

How do I get a property appraisal in Waiake?
Book a free property appraisal in Waiake through this site. A licensed salesperson inspects the home, walks you through recent comparable sales, and gives an opinion of likely selling price — with no obligation to list.
How long does it take to sell a house in Waiake?
It depends on the property, the price and the method of sale. A home priced against genuine comparable sales and presented well generally attracts serious interest early in the campaign; one priced ahead of the evidence tends to sit. Ask for an honest read on timing before you go to market.
What should I know before selling in Waiake?
Presentation and timing matter more than a headline price expectation. Ask for the comparable sales that support any appraisal figure, and check how recent they are before you commit to a campaign.
