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.

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
#8 Individual Salesperson, Northland Region, to end March 2024 #6 Individual Salesperson, Northland Region, to end July 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 fluffy pooch Oatie in tow.

Clear, transparent communication. Knowledgeable and efficient.

Set expectations clearly for us in terms of how best we can sell. Then he delivered on his market knowledge and execution of the sale. Trust is earned not given. The biggest attribute he has is humility, and can read the room when it comes to negotiations.

Professional, knowledgeable, very relatable and Simon's communication was second to none.

Professional, knowledgeable, very relatable and Simon's communication was second to none.

The process of purchasing a home can be stressful especially when new to the area however we felt safe with Simon. He quickly understood what we were looking for and the things that ticked the boxes for us, and although very professional in his field we really appreciated his down to earth, relatable manner. Simon was quick to return phone calls and emails and went to great lengths to find out the 'answer' to any queries we did have. We also loved the fact Simon is Kerikeri born and bred so lots of tips/knowledge for us newcomers in that regard. We would very happily work with Simon again whether buying or selling a home. Your a top bloke in our eyes - thank you Simon!

Communication is Key

Communication is Key

Simon was professional in his dealings with us and a great communicator right through the journey which we really appreciated. From our first meeting discussing the market and the process of selling, to sending us a photo of an item in the house which he was querying, prompt open home feedback to informing us about the timing of building inspections, we always knew what was happening. Simon was conscious of keeping any negotiations active and kept us in the loop with progress reports with the prospective buyers until contract stage. When it became unconditional it was celebration time! A great result in the current market. Thanks Simon.

Excellent service from beginning to end.

From the moment we contacted Simon we felt confident that the house sale would be handled properly. All the support and advice that was given was much apprechiated and our house sold within a fairly short time. All the details were handled well. We highly reccomend Simon Hart and Barfoot and Thompson.

Simon listened, cared and we felt heard

Simon recognized that selling our house was a huge decision for us., We had built the house and been in it for 21years. We were attached. :) However, due to illness we needed to downsize. Simon was realistic with hoe the current market was. He helped guide us with selling options. He continually kept us informed and, in the end, when the house did sell, we felt we received a very good outcome. (For both us and the purchases)
