The property I was selling was my first home (purchased over 30 years ago). In recent years the property has been tenanted. At the time of putting the property on the market it was not furnished and had developed a few minor maintenance issues that needed to be addressed (bumps/scuffs on walls and the like). Verena arranged for staging (temporary furnishings) and the R&M issues to be attended to in a way that the property’s benefits could be appropriately assessed by potential buyers. It was presented with authenticity: neither overstated nor understated. Verena took a data-based approach to her advice. Verena was always clear and professional in her communications.

Their expertise in the local property market and advice on presenting our mother's apartment took much of the stress out of selling. They did an excellent job coordinating tradespeople and other professionals, keeping everything on track. We appreciated their approach and happily recommend.

We are so grateful to have had Arianne as our real estate agent throughout the process of purchasing our first home. From the very beginning, she was incredibly supportive, professional, and easy to communicate with. Arianne went above and beyond to make what could have been a stressful process feel much easier. She was always available to answer our questions, kept us informed every step of the way, and made sure we understood everything throughout the process. Her patience, honesty, and dedication really stood out to us. We always felt that she genuinely cared about helping us find the right home rather than simply making a sale. We are so happy to have finally purchased our first home, and we couldn’t have asked for a better agent to guide us through the journey. Thank you so much, Arianne, for all your hard work and support! We highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. 🏡❤️

I’m incredibly grateful to Cici for making the entire process smooth and stress-free. From our very first conversation through to every stage of the transaction, they were professional, attentive, and genuinely dedicated. She was always responsive, answered every question patiently, and kept me informed throughout the process with complete transparency. Everything was handled in an organized and reliable manner, and she proactively followed up on progress and coordinated all the necessary details, which made the whole experience much easier. Most importantly, she is trustworthy, and truly have her clients’ best interests at heart. It was a pleasure working with them, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.

Dermot made a stressful time in an unpredictable market as easy as possible, exceeding my expectations in every aspect of the process. The marketing was outstanding. The presentation of the property was better than I could have imagined, and our open homes were very well attended. His clear, reliable communication and in-depth, up-to-date knowledge of the Auckland market meant he managed expectations honestly and thoughtfully. When negotiations appeared to have reached a standstill, Dermot's greatest strength became evident. He worked tirelessly to achieve an outcome both vendor and purchaser were happy with. His ability to navigate difficult negotiations while remaining calm, confident and focused was exceptional. I was also conscious of the outstanding work behind the scenes from his campaign manager, Sarah, and the wider Barfoot & Thompson Remuera team, whose support throughout the campaign was invaluable. I would not hesitate to recommend Dermot and his team to anyone looking for an exceptional real estate agent.

Rawdon was amazing to deal with when we sold our family home recently. He gave us a realistic pre market valuation and was able to achieve this at auction. He always replied promptly to any questions we or potential buyers had, and was totally professional throughout. We'd highly recommend Rawdon to anyone looking to sell their property.

In a slow market, Steve and Rawdon didn't give up and followed every lead, resulting in a sale. They were reliable and took action on all our requests. The phone call and video summary after each open home was great. Plus both have a delightful sense of humor.

Kathy was, throughout the whole valuation, listing and selling process an absolute delight to work with. She was at all times polite, understanding of our family dynamics, efficient and thorough. Nothing was any trouble to her and she went far beyond her call of duty. At all times, Kathy was professional, organised and never "pushy". In this economic climate Kathy could not have achieved a better outcome for the family. Thank you for everything Kathy.

Selling in the current real estate climate is not for the faint hearted. Rawdon and Steve bring a positive spin to all the many ups and downs of the sale process and with a result at the end we were very happy.

There are many reasons for rating my agents Steve Hood & Rawdon Christie a 10/10 following a successful sale at auction. The support and advice on to how to prepare our late mother's home for sale; excellent communication via. meetings in person, phonecalls, texts, WhatsApp group messages and emails; following each Open Home a recorded video message detailing who had attended, etc, detailed weekly reports, etc., etc! In a respectful way they advised on what needed to be done, decluttered, repaired, etc.

The agents (Steve Hood and Rawdon Christie) are amazing. So approachable, realistic, and we felt they had our interests at heart. This was both in selling our home and our repurchase. Having had a family member previously work for Barfoot and Thompson as well makes me loyal to Barfoot. They were both always approachable, and they continually kept us informed - Especially after open homes. Throughout the process, when we had issues or questions, no matter how big or small, they were always available with practical advice. Steve's experience shone through. He is totally approachable, realistic, hard working and dedicated to offering you the best service. He is not pushy, but is very knowledgeable and practical about offering solutions for issues that crop up. He has a wonderful sense of humour and is extremely easy to communicate with. We highly recommend Steve for anyone wanting to sell their home or to purchase a home through. Steve, Rawdon and Jude are an amazing team who Barfoot and Thompson are very lucky to have.
