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.

70 O'Neill Street is a home that has intrigued many a passer-by. Sitting serenely behind an established high fence of creeping fig, the lush facade is the first hint that something very special waits behind the front door.
Inside, a peaceful restrained palette and enduring materials have guided this beautiful Ponsonby renovation. The sublime kitchen, clad in Brazilian Granite and coupled with Murano copper pendants, is fully equipped with all the modern conveniences you could ever want for, including double Miele ovens for the most serious of cooks. All the while cool, calm and collected natural tones keep the space feeling relaxed and down-to-earth. Adjoining this zone is an outdoor room lined with divine plantation shutters and equipped with teppanyaki hot plates and two Vintec wine fridges, easily transports oneself to a tropical holiday. The view to the garden teeming with tropical palms imbues a Balinese-vibe. Luxury and big breezy open spaces rule the day.
Spread out over two levels, there are two bedrooms on each. The Master enjoys wonderful connection to its own private courtyard, with his and her robes and a supremely gorgeous ensuite. There is a further bathroom on this level.
Downstairs the perfect media room or teenage hang adjoins a further two bedrooms and additional bathroom. East to west decking and a backyard big enough to accommodate even the urban beekeeper completes this scene of inner-city bliss.
Moments from the action of Ponsonby Road, this is a home that can transport, elevate and levitate the senses.
It's very special.
