Not just another family in real estate In the vibrant tapestry of Auckland's real estate market, we believe there is another family name to consider – Goodwin, synonymous with excellence in real estate for four generations in Auckland.
The current generation is guided by the vision and legacy of founder Ashley Goodwin. With an illustrious career spanning more than 50 years in the industry, Ashley's leadership propelled Goodwin Realty's sales team to the coveted rank of #1 in New Zealand an impressive 13 times under a national franchise.
With Catherine Goodwin, the oldest of four children, at the helm in 2011, Goodwins made a strategic decision to specialise in property management, emerging as an independent agency.
Over the ensuing 12 years, Goodwins unwavering commitment saw them entrusted with managing over NZ$1.5 billion in property value across Auckland. As the years passed, their expertise in property management grew in tandem with their dedication to provide unparalleled service to their clients.
Reflecting specifically on their involvement in Ponsonby and neighbouring suburbs, in 2018 Goodwins became the exclusive accommodation partner for American Magic in the 36th America's Cup to be held in Auckland in 2021.
They went on to assist INEOS TEAM UK and Prada The Challenger of Record, meeting many local residents in the lead up to the event. Despite the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, Goodwin's' dedication remained steadfast and while the event was diminished, lasting relationships were forged and the facilitation of significant opportunities for their clients achieved.
One such recent opportunity arose from a relationship developed during the lead up to the America's Cup, which ended in an off-market sale of a charming property in Melford Street, St Marys Bay.
Fast forward to 2022, Goodwins decide to embark on another transformative journey, integrating their property management acumen with their extensive sales expertise to form a full-service agency dedicated to meeting all clients' property investment and sales needs. Goodwin's evolution reflects their enduring commitment to excellence and innovation in the ever-changing real estate landscape.
In this tradition, Goodwins are now honoured to be the property partner for Kea, the global network of Kiwis and their businesses (keanewzealand.com). Kea is a community dedicated to nurturing connections and supporting Kiwi expats worldwide.
Kea CEO Toni Truslove said Goodwins will be trusted advisors and offer quality service to the Kea community.
“Advice on the ever-changing property market is something that our community are often searching for. Goodwins is a family owned firm which prides itself on providing support for Kiwi moving offshore who want to rent their homes and returning Kiwi looking for rental or permanent accommodation in the Auckland area.”
Through Goodwin's collaboration with Kea, they aim to provide valuable insights and support to the expat community, further extending their commitment to Kiwis all over the globe, not just those living in Auckland.
While accolades are not Goodwin's primary focus, they’re proud of the recognition their team members have received.
Brendan Goodwin, now leading the sales team, has been consistently recognised for his commitment to excellence, winning consecutively at the REINZ awards for Business Development Manager of the Year in 2019 and 2020 and earning finalist recognition for the REINZ Residential Salesperson of the Year – Rising Star awards 2023.
At the heart of Goodwins is family, a family which is not defined by your last name. It’s a team of 24, including Catherine, Dave, Brendan, Aleina and Sophia (all pictured on the front cover).
This team is dedicated individuals working together to enable the lifestyles of our people, our clients, and our community, driven by their passion for service and integrity.
