About Yuhei

Originally from Japan, Yuhei made New Zealand his home in 2002. He spent the first decade of his life here establishing a hugely successful restaurant followed by a multi-store retail brand within the competitive Auckland market. Then in 2012, he transferred his rich business experience to the real estate industry where he quickly established himself as a front runner. With English, Japanese and Korean language skills, plus extensive community involvement and diverse connections within NZ’s multicultural makeup, Yuhei has an exceptional level of cultural knowledge and understanding when it comes to new migrants. As such, he is perfectly placed to help clients who are moving here from overseas to navigate Auckland’s property market and find a place to call ‘home’. Owing to his Japanese heritage, self-discipline, patience, care, and customer satisfaction underpin everything Yuhei does. So it’s no surprise that all his clients praise him for making buying or selling a home absolutely seamless. Professional, punctual, and committed to you, the customer, Yuhei listens to and respect his clients like his own family to deliver a service that he describes as: ‘Japanese quality with a Samurai spirit’.

About us

With knowledgeable, experienced staff who have been part of this historic suburb for a long time, it's easy to see why Barfoot & Thompson sells more homes in Parnell than any other agency. Parnell is one of Auckland's oldest and most established suburbs, and has the feel of a quaint colonial village located right on the edge of the city. With its mature gardens, leafy arcades and gracious streets, Parnell is a careful mix of old and new. Modern townhouses, apartments and luxury cliff top properties fit sympathetically with classic Victorian cottages and grand old mansions. The team at Barfoot & Thompson are passionate about the area and have experience in selling the wide variety of properties on offer. They consistently have dominant market share in the suburb - a statistic that Branch Manager Nick Fistonich believes comes down to their local knowledge, professionalism and real estate expertise, backed up by the strength of the Barfoot & Thompson network.

Excellent service and outstanding negotiation skills

I’m extremely grateful to Umezaki-san for all his help throughout the home-buying process. He was incredibly efficient, responsive, and professional from start to finish. His knowledge of the market and excellent negotiation skills helped me purchase my new home for significantly less than I had expected. I was very impressed with how quickly and smoothly he handled everything. I truly appreciate his hard work, professionalism, and dedication. I would highly recommend Umezaki-san to anyone looking to buy a property. Thank you so much for helping me achieve such a great result!

Amazing Realtor

Yuhei was so patient with us throughout our property buying process. It was our first home so we were knew pretty much nothing, just information we read online. Yuhei would answer any questions promptly and guided us through the process. He was very informative. We are both shift workers so couldn’t make most of the scheduled viewings, but Yuhei organised private viewings and he would make time to be there for us. His response time is super quick you’d think he doesn’t sleep! He replys pretty much anytime of the day which was really appreciated as shift workers. His knowledge of properties is very good, he knows if a house has any red flags and lets us know if the house is in a good condition or not. We liked that he was honest the whole time. He helped us negotiate hard during our final offer. We can’t thank Yuhei enough for all his time and dedication.
