About Kelly
Prior to real estate, I ran my own businesses, and consequently have dealt with customers from all walks of life, particularly while working in the retail industry. Here, customer service is of paramount importance, and the experience taught me to stay cool and calm under pressure and to respect people’s diverse backgrounds and cultures. Integrity, competence, respect, excellence and passion are qualities I hold dear and continue to develop as I grow my career in real estate. Also, teamwork achieves results! And I believe my professional, helpful and kind approach adds value to the Howick branch and contributes to the successful and happy environment. As a mother of two children, I have learnt that time management and life balance between family and work is essential for stability. Having lived in Auckland for the last 20 years and as a local homeowner, I appreciate what is important to our community, particularly when it comes to servicing real estate needs. Being a very careful and detailed person, I approach my work with focus and determination. If you need a dedicated and friendly salesperson who is committed to bringing you the best results possible - call me now!

Exceeded Our Expectations in Every Aspect of the Sale

Exceeded Our Expectations in Every Aspect of the Sale

Selling a property can be stressful, especially when you are overseas, but Paras made the entire process smooth and straightforward. He maintained excellent communication from start to finish, regularly updating us on progress and arranging video calls whenever there was something important to discuss. Paras always took the time to explain each step of the process, ensuring we fully understood our options and felt confident in every decision. What stood out most was his professionalism and honest advice. For example, when the first potential buyer requested a significant reduction in the purchase price, he carefully explained the situation, provided sound advice based on his market knowledge, and helped us make an informed decision rather than rushing into an agreement. His guidance ultimately helped us achieve a better outcome. Throughout the sale, he was responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to representing our best interests. We always felt supported and well informed, despite being in a different country. We are extremely grateful for his hard work, dedication, and expertise, and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell their property. His service exceeded our expectations in every way.

Lucy goes above and beyond expectations

Lucy goes above and beyond expectations

Lucy is highly professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Lucy was honest with expectations and made the challenging process of buying a house easier for us with prompt and clear communication. Nothing was too much trouble for Lucy, from fitting us in at last minute for private viewings, to answering all the questions we had. We required some written consent from neighbours & Lucy made this happen for us before closing tender date. Definitely recommend Lucy and the team at Barfoot’s for a smooth process. Thanks so much for helping me get into my first dream home!

Professional, Trustworthy, and Exceptional Service from Munish and His Team!

​I cannot thank Munish and his team enough for their incredible support throughout the sale of my property at 8 MacNean Drive. ​From day one, their deep market knowledge and professionalism were on full display. Whenever we encountered unexpected challenges during the selling process, Munish was always ready with expert advice and practical solutions, making the entire journey smooth and stress-free. ​One of the highlights was the beautiful home staging they provided. The furniture arrangement completely transformed the property, maximizing its appeal and drawing great interest from prospective buyers. Furthermore, the team’s genuine and honest approach built immediate trust with buyers, which was undoubtedly a key factor in securing the successful sale. ​Communication was absolutely seamless. I received detailed updates and market feedback every single week, keeping me fully informed at every stage. If you are looking for a dedicated, reliable, and highly professional real estate team in Auckland, I couldn’t recommend Munish and his team highly enough! They truly go above and beyond.
