Simon and Paula Herbert bought and sold $55.5m worth of property in March alone, selling one city mansion for $25.5m and buying another on the waterfront across town for just under $30m.
"I don't know of anything like this happening before," said agent Graham Wall of the Herberts' deals.
Wall sold the Herberts their new Herne Bay place. He also sold New Zealand's most expensive property: the 2013 $39m Orakei deal on a Paritai Drive house, partly financed by Hanover's Mark Hotchin, to businessman Deyi Shi.
Ollie Wall sold the Herberts' Remuera Rd property to buyers from China, and his father Graham sold the Lockwood's Herne Bay place to the Herberts.

The sale of an Auckland waterfront home could have set a new national house price record for the year, fetching just under $30 million.
Businessman and marina investor and developer Simon Herbert said he and wife Paula had just bought the big Cremorne St property, a modernist Brent Helena concrete place with its own boat-shed, helicopter pad, pool overlooking the waterfront and beachfront access.
Graham Wall said he had brokered the deal in an off-market non-advertised sale. "The best part of New Zealand is Auckland and its best suburb is Herne Bay and probably its best street is Cremorne St. Where else can you live on a beach just five minutes from the CBD?" Wall asked.

Auckland couple Simon and Paula Herbert have just sold one of New Zealand's most stately city mansions for $25.5 million, understood to set this year's record for the most expensive residential sale.
Under Mrs Herbert's hand, the almost century-old house was given a delightfully contemporary twist, enhancing outstanding, eye-catching elements. Stark, glossy, black-and-white interior decor was brought to the house. Major renovations were carried out to both house and gardens in 2010 after the Herberts first moved in.

Buying a house there is almost code for getting “apocalypse insurance”, and it is easy to understand why: if you want a place to hide when disaster strikes, there is no better place to be than isolated New Zealand.

Ollie Wall, of Graham Wall Real Estate, said there had been interest from some about properties by the water. Wall said because its company relied heavily on "security of information" it was unable to give specific names or addresses. "What I can say is that we have had serious enquiries about Auckland waterfront and Waiheke property by people directly involved with the America's cup since the win," he said.
Wall expected to see a substantial rise in the value of Auckland waterfront property in the years leading up to the cup. But one thing which could hamper plans was a lack of luxury waterside pads on the market.
"Our issue at the moment is supply of quality stock for the discerning buyer," Wall said.

"This is more about taking away than adding. It would be more stunning than any structure could ever be and at next to no cost. The park could be used by all Aucklanders, all the time and have viewing screens and be a fan zone for the Cup itself."
The image being beamed across the world would be "our amazing blue harbour, beautiful green grass, trees and our spectacular city", Ollie Wall says. "This image represents our country exactly the way it should be."
