Tony Dekker

With over 35 years of experience in sales and auctions, I am one of the owners of Ray White Port Macquarie. Throughout my career, I have been recognized as an industry leader and have received numerous accolades, including Platinum Awards, alongside regular placements within the top ten sales agents nationally.

My extensive local knowledge is complemented by personal experience in buying and selling property, allowing me to fully understand the decisions faced by buyers and sellers alike. I am committed to maintaining Ray White at the forefront of the Port Macquarie real estate market, working with enthusiasm alongside my team to deliver exceptional results.

Outside of my professional commitments, I am a life member of the Port Panther Soccer Club, where I have coached four major title-winning teams. I have also completed over ten local and international half marathons, as well as the Port Macquarie Half Ironman event in 2011.

My success is attributed to working closely with partner real estate agents and their sales teams. I ensure they fully understand the power and effectiveness of the auction process, gaining an in-depth comprehension of this invaluable selling method to generate timely sales while maximizing prices for vendors.

Recognized as one of the most successful auctioneers on the Mid North Coast, my results demonstrate consistency and tenacity, achieving clearance rates well above the market average. As an experienced negotiator, I use my expertise to train fellow real estate agents to generate maximum buyer interest throughout a campaign. I skillfully guide all parties to the best possible conclusion on auction day to maximize the final bid.

I am able to read and relax a crowd, which is an integral skill for ensuring strong bidding. Sound judgment, powerful communication skills, and the ability to quickly build rapport with bidders ensure every part of the auction process reaches its optimum potential. I strive to be articulate, entertaining, and spontaneous with my audience, delivering a professional standard of auction with integrity, energy, and commitment.

Additionally, I regularly contribute my time to auctioneering at numerous charity events around the Mid North Coast, assisting notable organizations in raising essential funds and resources. My ethos is centered on using my talent to support charities, fundraising programs, and giving back to the community.
