Barfoot & Thompson - Glendene

For me, real estate is about more than just property; it’s about the people and the community I’ve called home my entire life. Born and raised in West Auckland, I have a deep-rooted connection to the area - from its rugged beaches to the friendly, down-to-earth spirit that makes "The West" such a special place to live. I built my career with a strong academic and practical foundation, first completing my Certificate in Real Estate Sales through Open Polytechnic to strengthen my technical expertise and confidence. This led me to a role as a cadet in the Barfoot & Thompson Support Centre, which provided a masterclass in the industry's "behind-the-scenes" mechanics and compliance, learning best practice for all aspects of Property Management. My earlier years include time at the leading law firm Meredith Connell, which sharpened my precision and ethics dealing with complex cases, while my background in early childhood education taught me trust, patience and understanding of people's needs. With a Diploma in Broadcasting, communication is one of my key strengths. I have developed a style that is both professional and easy-going, and I pride myself on building and maintaining strong, genuine relationships with both owners and tenants. I am known as someone who always follows through, and I am driven to stay ahead of the curve, constantly developing my skills and knowledge to navigate ever-changing legislation. When I’m not in the office, I’m usually immersed in the local lifestyle - cheering on my son at football, supporting the Warriors, or exploring the West with my family. I’m passionate about what I do and look forward to helping you reach your property goals with a straightforward, supportive approach.

I am honoured to join the property management team at Barfoot & Thompson Glendene, bringing a fresh energy and a comprehensive skill set to the role. My journey in real estate began as a cadet in the support centre, an invaluable opportunity that allowed me to learn property management from the ground up. Mastering industry best practices and strict compliance procedures early on has given me a rock-solid foundation for managing your investments. My extensive background in retail serves as a major asset in my daily work, where exceptional customer service is everything. Working closely with the public has honed my skills in active listening, clear communication, and quick conflict resolution. I know how to handle high-pressure situations with a calm, professional approach, ensuring that both landlords and tenants feel heard, respected, and valued. This strong retail foundation makes me highly adaptable, proactive, and focused on delivering a seamless experience for my clients. What drives me most is the opportunity to make a positive impact on people's lives. I love helping tenants find a place they can truly call home, while also building long-lasting, trust- based relationships with property owners. When I’m not looking after your property, I prioritise staying active and healthy. I currently play rugby for the College Rifles Rugby Club in Remuera, an outlet that keeps me disciplined, energised, and grounded. Whether you're looking to maximize your investment property or searching for the perfect place to call home, our team at Barfoot & Thompson Glendene is here for you.
