Alan was terrific to deal with and managed to get a great sales price for our apartment in a flat market. Above what we expected. Alan knows how to hustle and negotiate to get the deal done. He was quick and attentive and got the offer completed within 24 hours of being tabled. Also a great guy who has the patience and drive to get the best deal for his clients. Our family is very grateful for his help in getting us onto another stage in our life.

I found Eugene to be helpful, easy to deal with and patient, with a wide knowledge of the locality. He has extensive knowledge of the property business, is totally professional when dealing with both buyers and sellers. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone contemplating a move and in the need of a real estate agent.

We had been searching a while for a local real estate agent when a personal contact referred Kellys to us. As well as being genuinely lovely to work with, Kellys was always professional, well-organised and kept us informed with daily updates. She provided support and expert guidance every step of the way, listening to our questions and feedback. Kellys and her team set up the marketing campaign quickly and helped us to achieve a successful result at auction in a very tough market. We appreciated her honest, positive approach and her ability to make the process seamless and as stress-free as possible. She has a reliable network of supporting trades too which was really helpful. We have no hesitation in recommending Kellys and look forward to working with her again in the future!

Kellys was great, she worked hard to drum up interest, consistently followed up with buyers, and helped us get a great result! She knew the market and provided solid recommendations to drive for a sale. We’re grateful to have had Kellys in our corner during the process and you couldn’t ask for a more professional individual to sell your home! If you want your house to be sold by someone who cares for it as much as you do, Kellys is a no brainer

Sophia was prepared with market comparisons to help provide needed insights when queried. Response time was always fast at all hours of the day and was fast to action anything that was needed and within her capabilities. Top notch communication that supplements her expertise to make her a trustable agent.

Through the whole purchasing process, Kellys was very easy to work with. She had a very good understanding of the property and surrounding area. This was important to my partner and myself given we were moving from a different part of Auckland. All the information provided to us was clear and honest. No ask was too much. We are both very happy that we purchased our home through Kellys and would recommend her to anyone as an agent.

Having only met Kellys for the first time prior to deciding to put my place on the market she impressed me straight away with her diligence and easy communication and knowledge of the market. This initial observation proved correct as her suggestions along the path of selling were always sound and the result achieved was a credit to her . Highly recommended

Eugene and Joanne just helped us to buy our first home in Mount Eden. I'm not sure we could've done it without them! Eugene's professionalism was evident from the outset. We never felt like anything was too much hassle and never felt rushed - key when you have a million questions due to being inexperienced in property! We felt really well cared for, and most importantly, listened to. We were talked through the whole process from viewings, considering our finances and prepping for the auction. We would have no hesitation in recommending The Local Team and will definitely reach out whenever we buy or sell in the future.

Our family has had a long association with Barfoot & Thompson, so when recently the decision to sell my mother's property was made, we chose Barfoot & Thompson. I can, without hesitation, recommend Barfoot & Thompson to any prospective vendor. The professionalism, market knowledge and marketing advice provided by Eugene Yamamoto and Joanne Simpson achieved a sale result which exceeded our expectations. Steve Clarke

Kellys has sold two properties for us with great outcomes. She works hard, has good communication and negotiation skills. She is really knowledgeable about selling including advice about how to best present your property and market it. It doesn't matter the area, she will get top results for you. Very professional and approachable. No wonder she is Ellerslie's No.1 top sales agent. We have dealt with a lot of agents in the past and Kellys is by far the best!

Having known Kellys for a few years we noted her integrity, honesty and expertise, that is why we decided to list our house for sale with Kellys. Kellys was very professional, patient, listened and supported us throughout. We were very pleased with the outcome. We would highly recommend Kellys and would use Kellys again!

Eugene from Barfoot and Thompson Ellerslie helped us to sell our parents house in February 2025. He guided us through the entire process and we were delighted with the result of the auction, which had a number of bidders. Eugene's professionalism and dedication to gaining a positive result is outstanding. He was approachable with anything we needed clarified, helpful and was excellent at updating us with progress from open homes. The property was marketed showing its best features and we felt that this was a key reason we had a number of interested parties. We highly recommend Eugene to help you sell your property.
