About Kinbou

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.

Excellent Communicator and negotiator with compassion

My property was a monolithic town house which was very difficult for people to get Finance on and therefore difficult to sell. It was a real roller coaster of emotions. Most offers would fall over quickly because the finance would be declined immediately but every so often there would be one that got close which was harder to take when it fell over. Rachel kept the positivity up and along with Gurvik kept looking for the next buyer. She is a good listener which I think is one of the things that makes her good as a negotiator. A good example of her negotiation stills is when I had some work done on the house which involved scaffolding on the house. This was arranged through the builder. The scaffolding was not taken down after the job was complete despite promises to the builder of when it would be done. After over a month of getting no where Rachel offered to help. She spoke to the builder and the scaffolder and the scaffolding was down in a couple of days. All the offers I was presented exceeded my expectation of sales price. There were a couple of times where multi offers were in play. When the chosen offer fell over, the second buyer would be negotiated with and the offer was always higher than the original showing the work being done behind the scenes.

Highly rated agent with excellent communication and interpersonal skills

Yan was outstanding throughout our home-buying journey and stood out among the many agents we dealt with. She was an excellent communicator, took the time to understand our needs, and guided us through the offer process with professionalism and care. We especially appreciated that she was never pushy or pressuring, instead providing helpful advice and responding quickly to our questions. Her approachable and supportive manner made what can be a stressful process much easier, and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.

Professional services through the everything

Lars Kuo did an absolute amazing job selling my property! He managed to get the house sold incredibly fast, which exceeded all my expectations. What truly sets Lars apart is the immense help he provided during our renovation phase. He went above and beyond to offer guidance, resources, and support when the house was being remodeled. His professionalism, efficiency, and dedication made the whole process completely stress-free. I highly recommend Lars to anyone looking for a top-tier real estate agent!
