About Kelly

Prior to real estate, I ran my own businesses, and consequently have dealt with customers from all walks of life, particularly while working in the retail industry. Here, customer service is of paramount importance, and the experience taught me to stay cool and calm under pressure and to respect people’s diverse backgrounds and cultures. Integrity, competence, respect, excellence and passion are qualities I hold dear and continue to develop as I grow my career in real estate. Also, teamwork achieves results! And I believe my professional, helpful and kind approach adds value to the Howick branch and contributes to the successful and happy environment. As a mother of two children, I have learnt that time management and life balance between family and work is essential for stability. Having lived in Auckland for the last 20 years and as a local homeowner, I appreciate what is important to our community, particularly when it comes to servicing real estate needs. Being a very careful and detailed person, I approach my work with focus and determination. If you need a dedicated and friendly salesperson who is committed to bringing you the best results possible - call me now!

Knowledgeable, professional and hard working.

Lucy was amazing to work with. It was clear from the start that she works diligently and professionally which can only come from years of experience. Lucy had incredible market knowledge. She very clearly explained that the best option for us would be a tender sale. She was absolutely correct, she created a sense of urgency for buyers who put there best offers in and got us what we were after. Lucy is experienced, knowledgeable and incredibly professional and works hard. I will definitely be recommending her to anyone looking to sell.

Without a doubt, Robin Liu is the best agent I have ever worked with in New Zealand. From start to finish, Robin demonstrated exceptional professionalism, dedication, and attention to detail. Every question was answered promptly, every concern was handled with patience, and the entire process was made smooth, transparent, and stress-free. What truly sets Robin apart is his genuine commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for his clients. His market knowledge, excellent communication, and unwavering support gave me complete confidence throughout the journey. Trustworthy, hardworking, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable, Robin consistently went above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend Robin Liu to anyone looking for an outstanding real estate professional. A true five-star agent and, in my opinion, one of the very best in New Zealand.

Exceeded Our Expectations in Every Aspect of the Sale

Selling a property can be stressful, especially when you are overseas, but Paras made the entire process smooth and straightforward. He maintained excellent communication from start to finish, regularly updating us on progress and arranging video calls whenever there was something important to discuss. Paras always took the time to explain each step of the process, ensuring we fully understood our options and felt confident in every decision. What stood out most was his professionalism and honest advice. For example, when the first potential buyer requested a significant reduction in the purchase price, he carefully explained the situation, provided sound advice based on his market knowledge, and helped us make an informed decision rather than rushing into an agreement. His guidance ultimately helped us achieve a better outcome. Throughout the sale, he was responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to representing our best interests. We always felt supported and well informed, despite being in a different country. We are extremely grateful for his hard work, dedication, and expertise, and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell their property. His service exceeded our expectations in every way.

Lucy goes above and beyond expectations

Lucy is highly professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Lucy was honest with expectations and made the challenging process of buying a house easier for us with prompt and clear communication. Nothing was too much trouble for Lucy, from fitting us in at last minute for private viewings, to answering all the questions we had. We required some written consent from neighbours & Lucy made this happen for us before closing tender date. Definitely recommend Lucy and the team at Barfoot’s for a smooth process. Thanks so much for helping me get into my first dream home!
