Flash and Sophie Sandham

Passionate about people and property, Sophie and Flash Sandham bring a powerful blend of experience, local knowledge, and genuine care to every real estate journey. Based in Taupo for over 20 years, they’ve built strong ties within the community and a reputation for achieving great outcomes. With backgrounds in property management, education and healthcare, their unique skill sets complement each other—offering clients expert guidance, clear communication and a results-driven approach, whether buying or selling.

Real estate is all about people—and for Flash, nothing is more rewarding than helping clients achieve the best possible results, whether they are selling, buying or simply exploring their options. That’s why working with Bayleys is the ideal match, providing the opportunity to combine a genuine passion for property with a strong commitment to delivering exceptional outcomes.

Having called Taupō home for over 20 years after relocating with family to embrace all the region has to offer, Flash brings a deep connection to the community. Prior to entering the real estate industry, he spent more than a decade as the Commercial Property Manager for the Taupō District Council, where he oversaw a wide range of property sales and subdivisions across residential and industrial sectors. This experience provided a thorough understanding of the local property landscape—knowledge Flash now draws on to help clients make confident, well-informed decisions.
