About Bruce

Bruce Farquhar - AREINZ, Auctioneer A born salesman, Bruce has been bringing house buyers and sellers together by any means necessary since 1996, including making yearly pilgrimages to the UK to promote local properties on the global stage on behalf of the company he created during the Global Financial Crisis to help overseas buyers move to Nelson – so he could sell them a house. That effort was rewarded with many happy sellers during tough financial times. What does that mean for his clients you ask? Bottom line is that he is in a unique position to obtain premium prices for his vendors – which he believes is the core principle of being a real estate agent. The search to uncover motivated and cashed-up buyers continues unrelentingly. “The traditional model in business is to think of the buyer right in front of you, but technology has given us a global backyard, and those who don’t realise that are going to miss a wealth of opportunities.” He points out that simply having a property for sale on the internet is not global thinking – that is simply an electronic version of a signboard or newspaper advertisement. “Technology is great for sure, but if that was sufficient on its own, I would be out of a job! The best agents in this business realise that technology is simply a time-saving tool, a part of that job. A successful agent still has to be able to talk to people – face to face or on the phone - to uncover objections, answer questions, and ultimately to put a deal in place.” If there’s one thing that symbolises Bruce’s work ethos, and helps fuel his passion for the job, it is setting records. Since the early 2000’s, he has time and again set new sale price records in Richmond, Stoke and Nelson, and since 2007 has consistently sat in the company’s New Zealand top 40. Negotiation so often requires innovation – seeing the barriers that are being put in place and finding new and diverse solutions for them so that both buyer and seller are the winners on the day. He recalls an example – “I managed to complete a sale between a British buyer and a local seller, where the entire transaction was completed in UK Pounds Sterling. It was an unconventional arrangement that suited both parties and increased the buyer’s comfort in paying a little more” His buyer database spans the globe and he is in contact with them regularly, making sure that no stone is left unturned in the pursuit of the perfect buyer for a property.

Accomodating, explanatory, and no pressure.

Michelle was a breath of fresh air. Being a first home buyer the process seemed quite daunting, even after months of researching buying a home. In my opinion, Michelle displayed the definition of professionalism when handling my offer. She communicated my story to the vendor, I feel this strongly helped with my securing of the property. In addition, Michelle operates with transparency, no games. Nelson is a mixed bag of agents, Michelle made me feel like not only was she working for the vendor but she was also there to support me.

Michelle makes selling a home feel like a surprisingly easy and joyous experience.

Michelle listens carefully to ensure mutual understanding and trust. She is warm, intelligent, professional, and open. She is an excellent communicator and responds immediately to any questions or suggestions. Michelle is highly skilled at marketing and presenting a home. I felt like my experience of selling my home could not have been better. I’m incredibly grateful to Michelle for making the experience feel so easy and stress free and exciting.

Experience, a cool head and a good sense of humour.

Liz quietly got on with the job while we ran around like crazy things :-) It was nice to have someone who understood the market and kept us focused on the things that mattered. In the end it ended up a much simpler process that we could have ever imagined, much to Liz's credit.

We had a great experience working with Michelle. She was honest, genuine, down to earth and a pleasure to deal with. Her communication was excellent throughout, always keeping us informed and making the whole process feel straightforward and stress-free. We particularly appreciated her no-pressure approach, sound advice and willingness to listen. Michelle is professional yet personable, and we always felt she had our best interests at heart. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and approachable real estate agent.

Aunty by family, absolute pro by trade

I'm beyond thrilled with the result Katy achieved for us, particularly given the difficult circumstances around the sale and the challenging market. She was incredibly patient, understanding and supportive throughout what was an incredibly unexpected and stressful process, and worked incredibly hard to get us the best possible outcome. I never expected such a good deal in such a tough market, I'm beyond thrilled. We’re so grateful for her persistence, professionalism and care from start to finish. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough - even if she wasn't my aunty.
