About Shirley
Shirley Winiata has been in real estate for over 28 years and still enjoys it immensely. She had her own real estate company until the Super City Council carried out a full refurbishment of the Papatoetoe City Centre Mall, which required all businesses to vacate. This was when she joined Haron & Co Professionals Papatoetoe.
Family is the most important thing to Shirley, and being in real estate has allowed her to be hands-on. She has two beautiful children, both inside and out, a wonderful daughter-in-law, and two beautiful grandchildren—what more could she need?
Over the years, Shirley has met people from all walks of life and has been invited into their homes, their biggest and most important asset. In many instances, these clients have become friends. She has enjoyed helping people whether it’s upsizing, downsizing, moving to a new area, or excitingly buying their first home.
Shirley is a good listener and takes the time to understand what her clients need to get there, from appraising their home to selling or buying again—or sometimes not. She understands this can be a stressful but exciting time. Her motto has always been: getting clients the best-selling price possible for their home, not just any price.
If you want to have a chat with Shirley, pick up the phone, put the jug on, and she’ll bring the bickies—she would love to hear from you.
I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Moana & Shirley were a fantastic team, keeping me informed every step of the way and offering invaluable advice that helped secure a great sale.
Their knowledge of the market, combined with their strategic approach to selling my home, made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell their home.
Thank you to these hard working ladies, Shirley & Moana from Professionals Papatoetoe for selling my place very quick. They are very easy to work with, they have the knowledge and expertise to have the job done. Very friendly easy to talk to any time. I've put all my trust in them and sure they perform well and beyond very professional house went on auction. They work hard to negotiate for a good price thank you soooo much team.
Moana and Shirley were the right choice from beginning to end. The warmth and aroha of their personalities eased the often-strenuous pressure of selling a home, my daughter felt so at ease with the open homes.
Coupled with their professionalism in all matters, we were extremely happy with their conduct in offering options unbeknownst to us and being available 24/7 to answer all questions.
I had been looking for real estate agents that knew our people, our culture, and our way of living without prejudice and these two were perfect.
