About Marc
Are you looking for someone to represent you and showcase your property? Someone who can communicate, deliver a high level of service and has experience? Are you looking for credible advice in order for you to make an informed decision? Is the thought of entrusting a stranger with your largest asset, causing you an element of concern? If you have answered yes to all three of the above, then we should talk. Coming from the building industry to real estate in 1997, I have a wealth of experience dealing with many different scenarios in different property cycles. Heading from a marketing campaign through to a property transaction can be an emotional time for people, so removing the heat and pressure is vital in order to create a relatively stress-free experience. See me as the 'fire wall', filtering out the unnecessary ingredients of the process, while delivering the necessary to simplify decision making. All part of a strategic approach with regular communication. What is your property worth? Call me for a confidential discussion. I will be happy to give you an assessment backed up by relevant sales, and just as happy to do so if your plans are still dreams.

About Ryan
One agent | One focus | Fully present | Award-winning marketer | Exceptional results | Westmere local. #1 Barfoot & Thompson Marketing Campaign of the Year, 2025 #1 Salesperson, Grey Lynn Branch – 2023, 2022, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2016 Top 2 Salesperson, Grey Lynn Branch – 2021, 2017, 2015 Since starting in real estate in 2012, I’ve successfully sold in excess of 450 homes. In 2025, I redefined my approach - committing to one auction campaign at a time to deliver a level of focus, strategy and service that’s rare in the industry. This isn't just a career for me - it's personal. I'm a Westmere local, a property owner and someone who understands the emotional and financial weight of every property decision. Whether it’s helping families move on or first-home buyers move in, my goal is always the same: clarity, care and outstanding results. Before real estate, I spent nearly a decade working across Europe as a tour director with Contiki and Trafalgar - an experience that sharpened my people skills, gave me an instinct for negotiation and the ability to guide others through complex decisions with confidence. With a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Auckland and a passion for both property and people, I bring attention to detail and a creative marketing angle to each campaign - and I back it with proven results. Whether you're selling, buying, or simply planning ahead, my door is always open.

Grey Lynn and adjacent-Westmere are very popular community-oriented suburbs filled with stylish cafes, restaurants and bars as well as many local parks, all just minutes from the central city.

Much of Grey Lynn is heritage-zoned which ensures the traditional character of the suburb is retained. The area has a variety of good primary and secondary school options.

We had a fantastic experience working with Mike & Michelle during the sale of our home. From the very beginning, they were professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. Their understanding of the current market, attention to detail, and clear communication made everything feel smooth and well-managed. They provided helpful advice on preparing the property for sale, kept us informed every step of the way, and always made themselves available to answer questions. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. Their professionalism, commitment, and friendly approach made the experience far less stressful and positive from start to finish.

I can't let the sale of my unit slide by without letting you know what an amazing experience it has been, thanks to Mike and Michelle from Grey Lynn. These two staff are pure gold, and it's not often these days I am wowed when dealing with businesses and trust me, I know what great looks like. So Mike and Michelle created a fantastic rapport from day 1 and made me feel like we have been friends or family forever. They aimed the marketing of my place at the right level through regular consultation. I never had to call them and ask about anything because they were both super proactive. Being over in Sydney, there was so much I couldn't do to help get the place ready for sale, such as arrange painters, rubbish removal, cleaning, and so much more. They did it all for me using their own trusted suppliers, and that alone removed so much anxiety. We had an 11th hour glitch from the other party, and they just took it in their stride, went into solutions mode and got it back on track. I had a migraine from it, but they just got in and made that sale. I flew over two weeks ago and took them out to lunch because they are such awesome humans. Mike tells me he broke his neck at the beginning of the relationship with Barfoot, but he always showed up. Now I can take them out, and I can thank them, but I hope you have some time to add to that and know that I have spread the word far and wide about them and Barfoot. I hope you all have a wonderful and safe Christmas, and I am so grateful for what Mike and Michelle have done.

Sold before end of our campaign!

A huge thank you to Ben for his outstanding work in selling our family home. His local knowledge, communication, and attention to detail made all the difference. We appreciated his honest advice, strategic marketing approach, and the genuine care he showed throughout the process. We couldn’t have asked for a smoother experience and a great end result! We highly recommend Ben to anyone looking for a dedicated and results-driven real estate professional.

Ben is Brilliant!

Ben provided us with all the guidance, knowledge and professionalism that was required and more. We had little experience with selling houses having been in ours for 23 years and Ben listened really well to what we wanted and understood our situation. He gave us excellent advice for preparing our property for sale, and kept us well informed all along the way sharing his knowledge openly. The end result was exactly what we were hoping for and the whole sales process from start to finish went like clockwork because Ben planned and prepared ourselves and the buyers so well. After the sale there was continued follow up. It was truly one of the best sales experiences we've had. We would highly recommend to others.

Marc did an excellent and professional job of the sale work. He was patient and considerate, and communicated well. He did a great job at the auction getting the parties across the line. I would recommend him to other potential vendors. Thanks for your efforts Marc.
