What Our Clients Say

Commercial Realty recently sold my Industrial Unit in East Tamaki, and the entire process was done very efficiently.  It was sold in just one week from the initial listing date, which was a real nice surprise.   

The Industrial property market, either leasing or selling, is a very robust environment, but these guys at Commercial Realty are really down to earth, and can handle both the property Owners and Purchasers with ease.

I thoroughly recommend Commercial Realty to assist you with whatever your Commercial Property requirements are.

Annalise Witteveen has been our BC Property Manager since August 2025. It has been a great relief for the owners to have Annalise join our team. Her communication is fantastic and her organisation about all BC issues is very knowledgeable. Getting quotes, authorising invoices, working with various contractors, BWoF and Health and Safety procedures are all handled professionally and timely. She keeps owners and tenants updated about anything happening around the BC and despite some unexpected and tricky maintenance it all seemed to run smoothly. We are so happy to have her as our Property Manager, 10 out of 10 for all her work.

Jesh has been our go-to commercial real estate agent for several years – and for good reason. He is consistently punctual, well-prepared, and takes the time to understand what both parties need from a leasing arrangement. Professional, honest, thorough, and reliable, Jesh always follows through.

His attention to detail has made all our dealings with the Landlord seamless, with clear and timely communication every step of the way. He never wastes our time.

If you’re looking for a hardworking agent who truly knows his craft, it’s hard to find someone more diligent than Jesh.

I have had the privilege of working alongside Mark for many years and have consistently been impressed by his professionalism, strategic insight, and unwavering commitment to excellence.

Mark is not only a skilled negotiator and strategist but also a trusted advisor. His ability to navigate complex transactions and provide clear, actionable guidance makes him an invaluable asset.

We just wanted to say an honest, and genuine Thank You for your help to sell what was the home of our business for decades. It was never our initial intention to become big time investors, and rather just wanted a home for our family business to thrive. It is the first commercial property we had ever sold, and we really did appreciate your knowledge and experience when selling it.

It has been an emotional rollercoaster for us newbies to the commercial property game; stressful, hopeful, relief and all the things in between. 

Thank you for being the calm and encouraging voice on the other end of the phone, assuring us that something will come along, and talking us through the offer. 

Thank you also for your efforts in trying to find us a new place. We know that despite it not working out, Lincoln and yourself did try to make something work for us.

Rory, Candice and the boys.

I am writing to provide a reference for the business management team at Commercial Realty. They are professional and great communicators. I am provided with monthly reports on progress, of accounts etc, nothing has been a problem in managing the lease, collection of payments or the organising of maintenance contractors. I recommend the team at Commercial Realty for all lease/rental management.

It was a huge change for us to trust someone else with the care of our properties after decades of doing it ourselves and Commercial Realty proved to be efficient, reliable and totally trustworthy.

We would have no hesitation in recommending Annalise and Commercial Realty for the management of properties. Since making the decision to sell our buildings Commercial Realty have been an enormous help and we would not have received the fabulous result we did without the team’s help. Many thanks to you all.

A business and I have 8 Workshop Units in Takanini, which we built and managed from the beginning.. About a year ago, as we are getting a little older and looking toward more playtime, we decided to look at getting a Property Manager to take over the running of the property. We interviewed four management possibilities and settled on Commercial Realty. Annalise Witteveen was our agent right from the start. We could not have found anyone better to deal with. She is on the ball, keeps us up to date with what is going on, and deals with any problems ASAP! We should have done it years ago..

I want to thank David Turner for the efforts of his team in helping to arrange a premise at such short notice, and the subsequent management of the remedial works required by ourselves to enable completion of a lease agreement.

The efforts the team went to in order to ascertain our needs and identify suitable premises to meet some challenging criteria, and management of the needs from both a landlord and tenant perspective, were notable. The support and response of the team have been fantastic.

Over the 10 years we have known David we have found him to be friendly, encouraging and adept at handling our business relationships with all aspects of commercial property ownership. This includes purchasing, leasing and selling as well as recommending appropriate maintenance personnel when required.

We have learned a great deal from David and have no hesitation in recommending him as a straightforward person with integrity to act in your best interests.

Commercial Realty has been working with me for several years, both leasing and setting rent reviews with tenants, for our portfolio of commercial buildings. David’s professional assistance and approach has been exemplary in all ways. He works very hard to match a landlord’s needs with a suitable tenant, maintaining good communication between both parties. Whenever there becomes a need for more information from either party, David makes it a priority.

We first met David Turner from Commercial Realty in 1997 where we bought, and a few years later sold, a unit situated in Highbrook. Since then, TVH have bought two more units through David and have also leased another warehouse in the same block. David also sold both these units, 8 years later.

More recently David was instrumental in helping TVH with a large design build project in Lady Ruby Drive, East Tamaki. We have found David to be of good character and honest with his knowledge in the East Tamaki Industrial market. We would have no hesitations to recommend or have further dealing with David and the team at Commercial Realty.

Just a short note to thank the team at Commercial Realty for bringing the sales to fruition. More specifically, please convey my thanks to Adam Ward. I found Adam to be an outstanding young man. He is patient but dogged, has excellent listening skills but knows when to make a point, And above all, he is sincere and forthright – qualities I particularly admire.

Jesh possesses all the attributes necessary to be an excellent agent. He knows his market extremely well; he is diligent, responsive, and yet very patient with his clients. Jesh is both very professional and personable. He clearly takes pride in doing a good job. In my particular case, as a lessor of my premises, there were many rough spots on the road to closing, and in every instance Jesh was a great help.

David and the team at Commercial Realty are a pleasure to deal with. They make property matters clear, simple and are always quick to respond to any queries. Highly recommend.

Mark was recently involved in sub-leasing our premises. It was a tricky lease negotiation with a number of parties involved. Mark’s communication, honesty and experience in property really shone through as he pulled the deal together. I would recommend him and Commercial Realty to any landlord looking to lease their property.

David Turner of Commercial Realty recently leased a building for me and secured a lease of 18 years. I have known David for over 10 years and highly recommend him, he is always very professional.

Over the course of my 13-year business association with David Turner he has always put in the maximum effort to achieve the best possible result in any deal. During the many transactions that David has been involved in as my agent, I have found him to always act honourably and fairly with my interests at heart. My tenants have also found David to be very helpful and fair to deal with.

Kerry McGuffog and the team at Commercial Realty assisted Go Logistics Limited in concluding the lease of 102 Mays Road, Onehunga. The team has proven professional, efficient and ultimately effective throughout the leasing process and in our ongoing relationship with them.

Go Logistics Ltd are happy to act as a reference for Kerry and the team at Commercial Realty and would have no hesitations in recommending them to any client looking for professional industrial property agency services.

It was a fantastic experience to deal with Agent Mr. David Turner.

He is a very kind and nice person and very clear in his communication. He kept us informed at every step of the process. He also has good commercial property market knowledge and provided us with professional advice. We would like to say a big thanks for his great service and for being a lot of help when making decisions. We highly recommend him without hesitation.

特别感谢 David Turner 这次帮我们买到满意的仓库， David Turner 先生工作认真负责， 热情专业， 从选房到最后拍卖， 每一步思路都很清晰并且能给我们很好的建议。 对于我们的疑问他也很有耐心的解答， 也非常积极的沟通。 强烈推荐

Mark was involved in the sale of our property at 9 Diversey Lane in Wiri, Auckland.

After putting in place an effective sales and marketing plan, and also utilising his existing pool of investors, we were presented with multiple offers close to our expectations. On further negotiations, Mark managed to convince the buyer to increase their price to a level at which we all agreed. The sale was complicated by the existing tenants first right of renewal to buy. Mark managed this relationship and the other buyer’s expectations with complete professionalism and ensured there was complete transparency throughout the process which was in everyone’s interest and paramount to a successful outcome. Eventually the tenant purchased the property for which we were very happy with the result.

Mark himself conducted himself very professionally and we appreciated all the communication throughout the process. We would recommend Mark to any vendor who is looking for an experienced and effective broker to sell their property.

I would like to thank Annalise Witteveen for her excellent performance and professionalism. Her hard work makes my life much easier and her efficient communication goes above and beyond.

Just a note to say how much I enjoyed dealing with David and Lincoln. They were both very pleasant and easy to get along with – and very efficient. They also made it easy for me and the property was sold with very little fuss and bother. Selling a property can be quite stressful, but that was certainly not the case here. I am very happy with the outcome and with the help I received.

Thanks for all the good advice over about 20 odd years from memory.

We listed our commercial property for sale with David Turner from Commercial Realty. David communicated in a professional manner during the process and kept us informed throughout.

David handled any unexpected issues and promptly came up with solutions. His knowledge around commercial real estate was exceptional and we would recommend him without hesitation. He liaised well between the existing tenant and the new owners. David, it was a pleasure to work with you.

We at NZ Facilities are lucky to have Commercial Realty as our clients. Great bunch of people. Extremely professional and knowledgeable team. Love working with them on a day to day basis!

We have found Jonathan to be very professional in all his dealings. He is prompt, never forgets to follow up in any way and is extremely knowledgeable in his area. Jonathan is also a genuinely nice person and I have absolutely no reservations in recommending him and the services that he provides. We will definitely use him for our next property requirement. Cheers.

I have dealt with David Turner on the leasing of two warehouse premises. I have found David to be very professional, hardworking and has done his best to satisfy all our commercial requirements. I would highly recommend David and will be using him again in the future.

Jonathan did an awesome job in selling our property and went over and above. Jono’s communication was excellent throughout the whole process and we would definitely work with him again in the future.

I recently enlisted Daniel as a leasing agent to find a new tenant for my property in East Tamaki.

My property is somewhat tricky to lease as it is a small Live/work commercial property, this combined with a sluggish market at the time proved to be challenging. But this did not deter Daniel, he came up with a marketing plan and stuck with it, being resolute in his belief that a good quality tenant would come along and pay the asking rent. Daniel kept me up to date all along and was honest with his feedback all the while reassuring me that it was just a matter of time before it was leased.

True to his word and his plan, Daniel found a fantastic tenant and the property is now leased for the optimal of amount of time and return. I am truly grateful for his expertise and would highly recommend him.

After managing our commercial property for six years, we had reached breaking point with a difficult tenant that owed us a considerable amount of money.

We had tried unsuccessfully to get rid of them so we approached David and Annalise at Commercial Realty. They immediately put us at ease and took control of a difficult situation, lifting a weight off our shoulders.

David was at our property constantly throughout the Christmas break and went above and beyond to ensure the tenant and all the chemicals/rubbish/makeshift structures left the premises.

We were dubious and sceptical at the start as we’d tried everything and found it hard to find a company we could trust. Commercial Realty treated us like part of the team and delivered exactly what they promised.

Commercial Realty got rid of a stressful tenant and replaced them with an A grade tenant. We have had no problems since.

David has over 30 years of experience so nothing phases him and he finds a solution to any problem. Annalise is a friendly, efficient breath of fresh air. She keeps us up to date with any issues and fixes them with ease.

We now have a lot less stress in our lives and we are very grateful. We would thoroughly recommend Commercial Realty to manage your property.

Jon and I must say that Daniel is a Gem, and a great asset to your company. He continually keeps in contact whether or not there is a sale or lease to be made. We appreciate this so much.

Regards
Donna and Jon

I am writing to highly recommend Annalise whom I had the pleasure of working with through Commercial Realty. Throughout our collaboration, Annalise has consistently demonstrated exceptional efficiency, proactiveness, and quick response times.

Her dedication to delivering high-quality results in a timely manner has been impressive.

I confidently recommend Annalise as a reliable and valuable partner for any organisation looking for top-notch services.

We have been dealing with Adam Ward and we would like to share our experience with you. He truly is an asset to your company. We haven’t met such an honest and patient real estate agent. Normally they try to pressure and majority of the time don’t have time and judge the buyers. Adam did not do that and he has always been available no matter what. We only visited the premises once and we set our sites on it after dealing with Adam. We had viewed other properties too but it’s a combination of all factors.

My father has few commercial portfolios and me and my husband wish to follow his path. This is our first investment into commercial investment and the experience was immaculate. Going forward we would be surely wanting to deal with Adam only and recommend him to all the other potential buyers.

This gentleman truly deserves an award.

Thanks

Hi David and Lincoln

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you both for helping my sisters and I with the sale of our inherited factory.

We appreciated your excellent advice and perseverance to see it through.

We especially thank you for going in on Sunday with your trailer and clearing out the last lot of rubbish and taking it to the dump.

I’ve never had service like that from an agent before, it was above and beyond.

I would highly recommend your company to my friends.

Regards
Susan Brookes

We have had the pleasure in providing roller door services for Commercial Realty for their commercial properties since 2018. They are one of our priority clients comprising of a professional, friendly team who understand the importance of maintaining their managed properties for their clientele. 5 stars!

I want to personally thank Daniel Speck for his huge effort to lease my property at 182 McLeod Road. He worked tirelessly through the Xmas/New Year period to introduce prospective tenants. When a tenant didn’t quite fit, he would endeavour to find solutions.

I have spent my working life in cars and property and can recognise a professional sales person. High on the list – integrity, knowledge and commitment – Daniel possesses them all.

At the end of the day, if a landlord and a tenant can shake on a deal and walk away knowing they both have a great deal – the agent can say they have done their job well. Daniel most definitely has achieved this.

I had the pleasure of working with David Turner. From start to finish the sale of my commercial building was handled with professionalism and expertise. David had a genuine commitment to my best interests. David went above and beyond providing guidance, market insights and support throughout the entire process. His communication was exceptional, keeping me informed and addressing any questions.

Thanks to David’s strategic approach and negotiation skills we achieved a great outcome. I highly recommend David to anyone looking for a top-notch commercial real estate agent, who delivers results.
