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!

We truly appreciated working with Robin — supportive, honest, and reassuring throughout.

Working with Robin has been such a positive experience from start to finish. During a very unpredictable market, his experience and steady guidance gave us a lot of confidence throughout the process. He was always approachable, communicative, and thoughtful in the way he handled every situation. What we appreciated most as vendors was how genuinely invested he was in achieving the best outcome for us. His market knowledge, honest advice, and careful assessment at every stage made a stressful process feel far more manageable.

Hard work and professionalism at play.

Barfoot and Thompson and Ethan as the lead agent for my property delivered way higher than my expectation. All the interacting that was needed with the council, they did, making it an effortless process for me, the seller. When I realised how many hours they spent on this, I was beyond grateful. Their knowledge of the area I found particularly helpful. Also, at no time did I feel they were trying to reduce my sale price, they were forever telling me they believed they could get the best price for me and put in every effort to so do. Every week, they informed me as to the activity with prospective purchasers and they achieved four live bidders at the auction. As I am looking for different properties, Ethan is recommending a number of properties that I have found interesting and have even bid on. I would happily go with Barfoot and Thompson again and would have no hesitation in recommending Ethan Hirschi.

Practice wisdom, experience & professionalism matched by a genuine passion understanding of others.

I found Anne-Marie online, initially it was her profile picture & gentle smile that stood out to me. I was looking for someone who would understand me, my whanau /family & our needs. We needed someone grounded, someone with integrity & most importantly, life experience. I read Anne-Marie’s profile & her vast experience & flagship knowledge sealed things for me. I reached out to her & like they say in show business, ‘the rest is history.’ Anne-Marie has far exceeded my client expectations. Her professionalism, ability to communicate across multiple platforms, availability / flexibility to you the client, only demonstrates her motivation & commitment to helping you to achieve your real estate goals. I’m not going to lie, real estate is a tough industry & without Anne-Marie, Karen & the rest of the Team, I’m not sure how I would have managed. Anne-Marie’s professional advice & guidance has been priceless. We are forever grateful to Anne-Marie because not only did she walk alongside us at a pace that suited us, in one of the most important transactions of our lives, she made a really difficult time feel less stressful & we even had lots of laughs along the way.
