About Mel

Since joining the Barfoot & Thompson Manukau branch I have engaged in my local area – I now have an intimate knowledge of the area and community. One of the main reasons I joined the real estate industry was the culture and longstanding reputation of the Barfoot & Thompson brand – a family-owned and managed company has been thriving for over 100 years. And guess what? I wanted to be a part of this! Before diving into the wonderful world of real estate, I had a successful career as a department manager and assistant store manager in the retail industry. But my true adventure began in 2015 when I took to the skies as an international flight attendant for seven years. Making customers happy and ensuring they felt well taken care of was my top priority, just like it is in the real estate business. Let's talk about Auckland, the multicultural metropolis that's growing at lightning speed. It's a city where everything you desire is right at your fingertips - from stunning beaches to mouth-watering food, cultural events, and vibrant arts scenes. When I'm not assisting clients on their real estate journeys, you'll find me cherishing special moments with my loved ones and friends. As a food enthusiast, I love to cook and try new recipes. Oh, and let me spill a little secret - I have an undeniable passion for fashion! Finding that one-of-a-kind piece that screams "must-have" is my guilty pleasure. With my outgoing personality and unwavering passion for what I do, I exude positive energy and a can-do attitude. Get in touch with me today and let's turn your dreams into a reality. An adventure awaits!

A genuinely caring agent who puts her clients first

We couldn’t have asked for a better agent than Karen. From day one, she was honest, transparent, and genuinely had our best interests at heart. She never tried to “sell” us on anything or tell us what we wanted to hear. Instead, she took the time to explain the pros and cons of every decision so we could make informed choices with confidence. One thing we really appreciated was how willing she was to meet us in person. She always worked around our schedule and never made us feel like just another client. Her knowledge of building and property was also incredibly valuable and gave us extra confidence throughout the process. By the end of our journey, Karen felt more like a trusted friend than just our real estate agent. She truly went above and beyond to help us achieve the best result, and we’re so grateful for everything she did. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Simply the best

We had an absolutely fantastic experience working with Sanjay, and we cannot recommend him highly enough. As first-time homebuyers, we were completely new to the process, but Sanjay was excellent and helped us through absolutely everything from start to finish.He went above and beyond in every possible way. He generously drove us around to view properties in his own car using his own fuel, and his patience is unmatched. He never pressured or forced us to put in an offer before we were ready. Instead, he gave us honest, invaluable advice that helped us make the right decision.Even after the sale, Sanjay continued to support us. He went completely above and beyond by helping us arrange people to install our curtains and blinds, and even helped us get the place furnished.If you want an agent who is truly dedicated, patient, and keeps your best interests at heart, look no further than Sanjay. Thank you for making our first home-buying journey so smooth and stress-free!
