For me, deciding to join the Barfoot & Thompson family was a spot-on decision. For almost a century it’s been a household name synonymous with service, integrity and honesty. No other company lists and sells more real estate in Auckland, a fact of which I’m particularly proud. Committed to doing what is fair and right by my clients, I've built a reputation for being a highly principled and structured real estate salesperson. With a background in mechanical structural design and project management, it’s not surprising that my customers benefit from a process-driven and best-practices approach to buying and selling houses. Property transactions can be a very challenging experience. The way I see it, my job is to get alongside my vendors and purchasers and remove all the stress. They need to be happy at the end of the process. Everything else falls into place after that. Fluent in Mandarin and English, and with excellent communication and negotiating skills, I have worked all over the world with a wide and diverse range of people. The secret is, that everyone wants the same thing - someone to look after them, give them great advice, and treat them with honesty and respect. It’s as simple as that. I enjoy working with people and thrive in an environment where there is no cap on success. In my spare time I enjoy reading, tramping, travelling and playing table tennis. I often swim in the sea on a summer’s day, and firmly believe that to operate at optimum efficiency there needs to be a perfect balance between life and work. I care about you and your property as much as you do. Whether you are buying or selling, I can help.
