About Robyn Ellson
From the moment you meet Robyn, it’s clear she’s a people person – and she is passionate about property.
With almost a decade of experience and the sharpest negotiating skills you will see in the business, Robyn prides herself on finding the right home for her clients, many of whom she has worked with across several homes.
Her insatiable drive and pragmatic approach have led to her becoming Ray White Ponsonby’s number one sales person for the last three years, along with many other awards. She is one of the company’s top 10 performers internationally, with sales that translate to $300 million over the last decade.
Combined with her charismatic, empathetic nature, Robyn’s clients can be sure they are in safe hands.
“It’s a privilege to do what I do. I’m all about building long-term relationships and helping people make good choices around property.”
Prior to real estate she spent seven years in London, working in marketing and project management. While always career-obsessed, Robyn wanted to move her day-to-day to place where she could connect more with people. An innate passion and interest in property, and a self-starting attitude led her to the obvious choice: a career in real estate.
Initially honing her sales skills at a small boutique agency, Robyn was named the REINZ ‘Rookie of the Year’ in 2012. Since moving to Ray White Damerell Group Ponsonby Robyn has relished the chance to work with top performers with 20 years of experience, and draw on the invaluable resources the team offers.
Delivering a personal tailored approach to each home, Robyn has an excellent scope of the market, having started in Kingsland and successfully branched out over the years to Auckland’s surrounding suburbs. Robyn is now a top-performer in Westmere, Grey Lynn, Sandringham, Mt Eden and Mt Albert. She lives and breathes the city fringe suburbs of Auckland, and in these neighbourhoods has become the “go-to trusted advisor” on all things real estate. A self-confessed renovation addict, she often sees potential in property where others cannot, and loves nothing more than helping buyers see how they can make a home "their own".
Robyn lives in Sandringham with her husband, son, labrador and yorkie-poo in a home they have lovingly renovated. Given her tendency to think about real estate 24/7, Robyn unwinds and allows her creativity to flow with her weekly yoga classes.

This home will make you happy like you should be! If you are searching for an affordable step-up in the city fringe, but with a healthy twirl of style and ambience then 2 Derwent Street is a must-see!
Boasting 3 bedrooms over two levels, with the downstairs offering fantastic flexibility should you wish to accommodate teenagers or a flatmate, this 1930s sweetheart is all about big light-filled spaces. The open plan living area in particular is bathed in all day sun, and takes in some lovely views to the Waitakeres. You will love the blend of rustic wooden floors with cool modern twists. I particularly love the blend of contemporary light-fittings with ornate character details such as the plaster ceiling rose.
A three bedroom, two bathroom home at this price level is hard to find. Add to this a secure garage, underhouse storage and the handy garden shed and you find a very well thought out and sought after home. The property is fully fenced for fur babies and children alike, and the property has been beautifully landscaped and composed. Indoor outdoor flow- Tick!
Here is a home that will bring you sunshine on your windows and sunshine in your soul! Nestled between Morningside and Grey Lynn this is a superb yet peaceful spot. You have the best of both worlds with Morningside Precinct's uber cool Morningside Tavern, Kind, Electric Chicken and of course Crave Cafe among your new local hotspots, plus there's Grey Lynn Farmers market on a Sunday, and Motat and the Zoo just around the corner. Great local schools include MAGs, Mt Albert Primary and Western Springs College!
Make this your easy step-up in the city fringe!
