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.

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.

Flawless experience

Sarah has been the most incredible agent for myself and my partner as first time buyers. Right from viewing the property Sarah was incredibly supportive, honest and informative. We are so grateful to have had Sarah on our team making the entire process from viewing to offer to settlement seamless, we couldn't be more grateful. Sarah happily worked alongside not only us but our mortgage brokers and bridged communication between the Vendor and us with ease, keeping us in the loop the entire time. We feel so lucky to have had such a smooth process and couldn't recommend Sarah highly enough. If we need a realtor in the future we will most definitely be coming back to Sarah. Thank you so much Sarah! From two very grateful first time buyers. Braydon and Zoe :)
