Thank you Paula, We knew we had the best on the job from the beginning, and despite being on the market during a tough time for lifestyle properties, you persevered and ultimately got us a result, enabling us to move on with the next stage of our own journey. We highly recommend Paula to anyone considering selling their property, there are no better out there !

Exceptional Service and Smooth Selling Experience

I had a wonderful experience selling my property through Ryan Turei. He was highly professional, communicative, and genuinely committed to achieving the best outcome for me. He provided excellent guidance throughout the entire process, making everything smooth and stress-free. His market knowledge and attention to detail ensured a quick and successful sale. I couldn’t be happier with the results and would highly recommend his services to anyone looking to buy or sell property.

Buying and Selling with Yvette - We could not more happy with the service.

Buying and Selling with Yvette - We could not more happy with the service.

In 2020 we found ourselves looking for a home to purchase in Kerikeri. We were so lucky and grateful to find Yvette who took us under her wing, taking the time to understand what we were looking for and going out of her way to find it. Yvette also assisted us and the vendors to coordinate our settlement and moving during the difficult Covid lockdown period. During our time living in Kerikeri, Yvette remained in touch and was genuinely interested in the improvements we made to the property, so it was with no hesitation that we chose Yvette to market our property when we found ourselves on the move again three years later. Although a difficult market, Yvette's persistence and knowledge of marketing a unique property and working with interested parties paid off, even finalising the offer for us while we were holidaying in Europe. Yvette has a friendly, down to earth personality. She is honest and worked incredibly hard for us. We would have no hesitation in recommending Yvette to market any property.

Easy to deal with.

I've been looking for whenua for 5 years. I've met some characters...and Yvette is one of the best ones. She had some whanau time away and did a great handover which I really appreciated given buying and selling can be stressful. This was an important moment for me....I brought back part of an old Pa I whakapapa too. Yvette's easy going, friendly nature and clear communication made the whole process a little more chill.

Great Experience

Ryan is new to the industry, he brings life, passion and drive to the industry that many older agents are lacking. If Ryan didn't have the answers he would go and find it. Ryan is a great agent and looking forward to see him grow and do well in this space.

Reliable and Dedicated

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of working with Ryan and his colleague Simon to sell our property. From the outset, Ryan impressed us with his friendly and approachable demeanour. His communication throughout the process was exceptional, he kept us well informed at every stage and was always quick to respond to our questions and concerns. Ryan demonstrated a high level of trustworthiness, earning our confidence through his honesty and transparency. His proactive approach and meticulous attention to detail were evident, especially in his marketing efforts. Ryan effectively utilized several media platforms to promote our property, showcasing his strengths in marketing and ensuring our property received the attention it deserved. As a new agent, Ryan is eager and willing to learn. Whenever he encountered something he wasn’t initially sure about, he quickly sought out the answers, showing his commitment to providing the best service possible. Overall, our experience with Ryan was highly positive. His professionalism, combined with his personal touch, made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. Ryan is certainly one to watch, we believe there are big things ahead for him in this industry. Thank you, Ryan, for your outstanding work. We would not hesitate to enlist your services again in the future. Kind Regards, Paula and Chris Warren

The Agents Looked after Best Interest.

The Agents Looked after Best Interest.

From the first time we have seen this property on the market it was well presented and you know what you are looking at without being there. We visited the property numerous time with open homes and agents. Every visit we were received warm welcomes and got the feeling that they will look after you. Ryan was very helpful throughout the buying process and went out of his way to assist. Ryan, thanks for your help mate.

Professional and friendly.

Yvette was a pleasure to deal with throughout our first home journey. She was very personable in all our interactions and maintained great communication between us and the sellers, facilitating a fair and carefree transaction between all parties. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone and would contact her if we ever decided to sell.

Patient, helpful and understanding

Yvette did a fantastic job negotiating the terms of our house purchase with her vendors. She had to work with 7 people, 4 vendors and 3 purchasers and she was able to negotiate fair terms and final sale value, that benefited both sides. Yvette is more than approachable. She is warm, and relaxed and she spent over a month getting the deal we wanted over the line. Prior to this sale, she also spent a lot of time showing us through other properties and was always patient and willing to let us go back for a 3rd, 4th or 5th look. We are so grateful Yvette, thank you for all if your help.

You couldn't do better than employ Paula O'Brien if you want a professional agent working for you.

You couldn't do better than employ Paula O'Brien if you want a professional agent working for you.

Recently on deciding to sell our property we invited several local real estate companies to submit their proposals. After due consideration we chose Barfoot and Thompson to be our agent. The professionalism of their rep Paula O’Obrien during the most difficult of times (during two lockdowns) was impressive to say the very least. She kept us regularly up to date during negotiations and went well above what was expected normally with her constant communication. After previous bad experiences with selling property we could not recommend her and the company more highly. Judi Soutar & Ngaere Hawkins
