About Melissa Codlin

For Life's Big Moves - Melissa Can Help!

With over 20 years of experience in real estate, Melissa Codlin is a trusted Whangarei professional specialising in residential, lifestyle, and coastal property sales. Born and bred locally, she brings genuine Northland market insight and a proven ability to connect the right buyers with the right properties.

Melissa’s early involvement as a director of a successful building business gave her strong, practical knowledge of how homes are constructed and maintained. This hands-on understanding allows her to confidently guide clients through properties and assist with compliance and building-related matters prior to going to market, ensuring homes are well prepared for sale.

She began her real estate career at the grassroots level, working as a personal assistant to a high-performing licensee, gaining a solid foundation in the industry. Melissa later moved into sales, where she built a reputation for her straight-talking, approachable style, attention to detail, and effective negotiation. Her background also includes experience as a Sales Territory Manager for a large, successful Auckland-based company, strengthening her strategic, marketing, and client management skills.

Melissa is backed by the strength of the Ray White support team, alongside an experienced in-house personal assistant who coordinates marketing, presentation, and campaign delivery. This team-based approach ensures every property is professionally presented, while allowing Melissa to focus on strategy, negotiation, and client care.

A key strength of Melissa’s service is the delivery of well-structured sales systems, supported by integrated technology, tailored marketing campaigns, and an actively managed database of qualified buyers to create competition and maximise results.

Clients value Melissa’s calm, professional approach and her ability to make complex decisions feel manageable. Much of her business comes from repeat and referred clients - a reflection of the trust she builds and the consistent results she delivers. A licensed real estate agent and proven communicator and negotiator, Melissa brings deep local knowledge and a genuine understanding of homes from the ground up.

Testimonials
With Melissa's help I was able to buy my house under the hammer at auction. From the first open home right through to settlement Melissa kept in contact with me, which made the process so much easier and less stressful. I have no hesitation to recommend Melissa to any buyer or seller.- T Murray
I recently assisted my father in law in selling his family home, he can get a bit confused at times and after living in the house for over 40 years Melissa was very kind, considerate and caring. This is our 2nd experience with Melissa as she sold my sister in laws house a few years back with the same dedication. I would not hesitate in recommending Melissa or using her for any future house sale. - Anonymous
Her attention to detail was second to none and I would absolutely use her services again.- K Griffiths & J Brennan
We had three companies give us appraisals, we felt Melissa was the right fit with my elderly Mum as she had a lovely way of talking to her as the owner, even though we would be the ones mostly involved in the sale of her home to take any stress out of the process for her. From signing Melissa as the listing agent to the sale of our house on auction day the communication throughout was exemplary. We have already started to recommend Melissa to family and friends wanting to sell their property. - Anonymous
