About Ryan
I am an experienced property investor, and over the years together with my wife Aimee, we have developed numerous properties together. We both share a passion for real estate. Before venturing into this industry, I spent 14 years in the Air Force, working in dynamic military environments around the globe. I trained as a Security Forces Operator, taking on several instructional and training roles before moving into a managerial position. During this time, I also completed a Bachelor of Business Studies at Massey University. After leaving the military, I was a content creator and digital marketing manager for ConsultCo Aotearoa for some time. While there, I completed several digital marketing courses, and gained a wealth of social media marketing and advertising knowledge. This is an area of expertise that plays a huge role in today’s media landscape, and something I bring to my personal brand and property marketing today. My wife and I have three children. I am an avid runner, I have completed several ultramarathons, including the 100-mile (160km) Tarawera Ultramarathon race. You’ll often find me running local trails or roads in my spare time or training for team fitness competitions at the Fitness Lab. Call me at Barfoot & Thompson Kerikeri. I combine my military skills, digital marketing experience and property knowledge to achieve the best possible results for my clients.

5 Individual Salesperson, Northland Region, to end March 2025 #5 Individual Salesperson, Northland Region, to end March 2024 #8 Individual Salesperson, Northland Region, 6 months ending September 2023 #8 Individual Salesperson, Northland Region, 6 months ending September 2022 Having lived in Kerikeri since 1975, I have accumulated a large network of contacts within the Bay of Islands area. I have also learned that selling real estate today requires knowledge, dedication, honesty and patience, as well as outstanding marketing and negotiating skills. With this in mind, you can have complete confidence in my ability to help you sell or purchase your property. Some may remember me from my time at Kerikeri High School, where I followed in my father’s footsteps. As a trained Chef tutor, I was Coach of the Senior Hospitality team that won ‘Top New Zealand School’ at the National Secondary Schools Championships in 2009 and 2014. It was an accolade of which I am particularly proud, not just for me but also for Kerikeri High. Rest and relaxation for me usually involves family time and exercise. I like to get out and about with my wife Vicky, our three kids and Whiskey the family pooch. I’m a dedicated committee member for both the Kerikeri Cricket Club (where I am still playing) and Kerikeri High School's PTA. I'm also a recent convert to Pickle Ball, which is great fun! I know that buying or selling a property is never easy - I've been there myself several times. However, with the right person by your side it can be an exciting, smooth and rewarding journey. My expertise together with the Barfoot & Thompson brand is a powerful combination that will work for you.

About Yvette
#1 Individual Residential and Lifestyle Salesperson, Northland Region 2026 #8 Individual Residential and Lifestyle Salesperson, Northland Region 2024 I am proud to call Kerikeri home. The unique history and community is what made growing up here so special, and its variety of residential, lifestyle and coastal properties is why I love what I do! I enjoy sharing my local knowledge and advocating the amazing lifestyle this vibrant area has to offer. With over 11 years’ experience selling real estate, and having bought and sold my own properties, I understand the thrilling (and sometimes stressful) nature of the real estate market. It is this personal experience that drives me to provide honest assistance, tailored to meet my client’s individual needs. I am dedicated to maintaining a personal approach throughout the whole process and I apply energy with attention to detail in marketing your home. Whether you are buying a first home or want to achieve the best sale price, I am committed to being your advocate and working with you to make your real estate goals a reality. When not selling houses, my time is spent with my husband Chris and our two young boys, Morgan and Riley, exploring neighbouring towns, visiting (and sampling) local vineyards, and playing at nearby beaches with our two fur-balls in tow.

About Lara
Real estate is more than a career for me, it's a chance to make a difference. With years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of guiding many clients through one of the most important decisions of their lives. I thrive on the energy and challenge of real estate and take pride in making every transaction, whether buying or selling, as smooth, stress-free, and enjoyable as possible. I’m proud to represent Barfoot & Thompson, a respected family-owned company with strong values and a team of over 1,800 salespeople. At our Kerikeri branch, I’m part of a supportive team that shares my commitment to delivering outstanding results. I’ve lived in Australia and the UK before moving to Auckland in 2009, then Kerikeri in 2012. The Bay of Islands quickly captured my heart with its lifestyle, community spirit, and natural beauty. My diverse career has given me a broad set of skills, from International yachting, business ownership to sales and marketing. Each step has strengthened my ability to connect with people, understand their needs, and provide tailored solutions. Outside of work I’m a proud mum to a wonderful daughter, enjoy beach walks with my two dogs, and treasure time with family and friends. I bring empathy, energy, and determination into every client relationship. If you’re looking for an experienced, approachable, and motivated agent who will listen, communicate clearly, and go the extra mile, I’d love to help you achieve your real estate goals.

an agent who really worked for me.

Lara came on board with me from the very start and gave me honest good advice that resulted in my home being sold in excellent time for the right price. Lara actually listened to me and worked alongside me but didn't hesitate to put forward ideas and thoughts that would increase the homes appeal. She showed empathy and kindness and made a tough experience so much easier. I highly recommend Lara for the sale of any home.

Very knowledgable and professional Sales agent

We are incredibly happy we choose Lara as our agent when selling our property. Right from the start her manner, professionalism and knowledge gave us the confidence that we were in good hands. Being an older property, Lara brought to our attention a couple of compliance issues that we were unaware of and guided and assisted us through the step in getting these issues resolved in a quick and timely manner. Something we would have struggled to manage on our own. Every step of the way Lara was on point. We would be recommending her to anyone looking for an agent to sell or buy a property.

Helpful, friendly and professional

Lara was great to deal with and excellent at keeping us updated at every stage of the process. She knew a lot about the property and was very quick at getting answers to the questions we had - not only before we moved in but also just after, making sure that we were settling in well and had no issues. I think I appreciated that part the most, in hindsight - she didn’t just hand over the keys and leave us to it. She followed up to make sure we were happy, which was lovely.
