About Laura
I’ve always believed that real estate is just as much about people as it is about property. Whether you’re hunting for a first-home "high," upsizing, or starting a fresh chapter, I’m here to ensure you enjoy the journey. Helping people create a life they love is a privilege I never take for granted. Rooted in the Rural Lifestyle My appreciation for "home" stems from growing up on a Whenuapai lifestyle property, where my family ran a flower nursery and Christmas tree farm. Having lived the lifestyle block reality, I intimately understand the maintenance, complexities, and appeal of rural properties, giving my clients a distinct advantage. A Proven Track Record in Residential Sales Equally at home in the suburbs, I bring 12 years of experience as a trusted West Auckland residential sales specialist. From townhouses to premium family residences, I understand suburban buyer behaviour, school zones, and market dynamics, positioning properties to attract premium results. What Sets Me Apart With a Business Diploma majoring in Marketing, I craft standout strategies that showcase your property to its full potential. From starting as Rookie of the Year to building a top-performing career, I’ve learned that true success comes from listening, connecting, and exceeding expectations. The Barfoot & Thompson Advantage Being part of the Swanson team aligns perfectly with my values, plugging your property into Auckland’s leading network while keeping community at the heart of what I do. Outside of real estate, you'll find me on the pitch playing for the Waitemata FC Women's First Team, a club my family has been proudly involved with since 1961, or cheering on my young daughter, who also plays for the club. As an official sponsor, I love giving back to the community that has supported us for generations. That same passion for teamwork and community is what drives my real estate career. Nothing brings me more joy than helping people succeed in their property journeys, and I would love to bring that dedicated, local support to your next chapter. If you're looking for a trusted partner who puts your goals first, I’d love to help. Feel free to get in touch anytime for a friendly chat about your options.

About Renee
I grew up in West Auckland and still live here today, so when I talk about the area, it’s not just from a market perspective – it’s from personal experience. From the streets of Ranui to the green edges of Swanson, I know what makes this corner of Auckland tick – and what matters most to the people who call it home. Before real estate, I completed a degree in Communication Studies and worked in journalism and property marketing – so I’m a communicator at heart. I know how to ask the right questions, listen closely and present a property in a way that truly connects with buyers. I also understand the importance of cutting through the jargon and making the process clear, so you feel supported every step of the way. People choose to work with me because I’m straightforward, proactive and easy to talk to. I’m not here to give you a sales pitch – I’m here to offer sound advice, solid support, and to pull out all the stops for a great result. Being part of Barfoot & Thompson means you get the best of both worlds – personalised service backed by the reach and resources of New Zealand’s largest privately-owned real estate agency. Outside of work, you’ll find me walking our Cavoodle puppy, doing reformer Pilates, or spending time with my partner and our girls – usually somewhere local. If you’re thinking of buying or selling in West Auckland, I’d love to help.

About Mehak
Turning property dreams into reality with honesty, heart, and hard work. Real estate is about much more than buying and selling houses - it’s about people, aspirations, and life-changing moments. Whether you’re purchasing your first home, upgrading for a growing family, or investing for the future, I’m committed to guiding you through every step with care, integrity, and clear communication. Before beginning my career in real estate, I worked in the IT industry and as an Assistant Lecturer. I hold a BTEC in Electronics and Communication and a Level 8 Postgraduate Diploma in Computing. Alongside this technical background, I bring over 18 years of customer service experience, which has shaped my strong focus on listening carefully, building trust, and putting people first. Being multilingual allows me to connect with clients from a wide range of backgrounds. I speak Hindi, Urdu, English, Punjabi and Haryanvi fluently, and also understand Nepali and Gujarati. This helps me ensure every client feels comfortable, understood, and confident throughout their property journey. Originally from India and now proudly calling New Zealand home, I’m also a dedicated single mum to my wonderful 13-year-old son, who inspires me every day to work hard and pursue my goals. As part of the Barfoot & Thompson Swanson team, I’m supported by Auckland’s largest real estate network, giving my clients access to an unmatched buyer pool, powerful marketing reach, and the collective strength of one of the city’s most trusted real estate companies. Outside of real estate, I enjoy travelling, exploring new cultures, and meeting people from all walks of life - something that naturally complements my passion for helping people find the right place to call home. If you’re thinking about buying, selling, or investing in property, I’d love to help you take the next step with confidence. Honest advice. Genuine care. Results you can trust.

About Emily
Helping people make their next move with confidence. For me, real estate has always been about people. Buying or selling a home is a significant milestone and often represents a new chapter in life. I’m passionate about helping people navigate that journey and achieve their property goals, whether that means buying their first home, finding more space for a growing family, or making the decision to sell. A career in property sales has been a long-held ambition of mine, and completing the New Zealand Certificate in Real Estate (Salesperson) (Level 4) gave me the opportunity to turn that ambition into a career. My background in customer-facing roles has taught me the importance of listening, communicating clearly and building lasting relationships with people. I’m naturally approachable and enjoy connecting with people from all walks of life. I believe good real estate service starts with understanding what matters to each individual and making sure they feel informed and supported throughout the process. West Auckland is very much home for me. I’ve lived in the West for most of my life and am raising my family here. Even when life has taken me elsewhere, I’ve always found my way back. That connection gives me a real appreciation for the area, its communities and the lifestyle it offers. Family is a huge part of my life. My partner and I have a blended family of five children, along with two dogs, so life is rarely quiet! Motocross is also a big part of our family life and sees us travelling around New Zealand regularly. I bring an approachable, down-to-earth attitude to real estate, backed by professionalism, strong communication and a genuine commitment to helping my clients achieve the best possible outcome. If you’re thinking about buying or selling, I’d love the opportunity to get to know you, understand what you’re hoping to achieve and help you take that next step.

Helper with a true heart ❤️

Mehak was there to warmly welcome us, and my parents, onto the property during the open home. That first impression was the standard in how she strived to support us throughout the rest of the journey. She was quick to respond to our questions and to ease our concerns. She reassured us as we anxiously negotiated the contract and was there on standby to guide us in meeting our contractual conditions. We appreciated her call, to celebrate with us when our 10-working day condition period had finished! Thank you, Mehak, for your heart and authenticity during this daunting but exciting process 😊

Perfect agent for first home buyers

Perfect agent for first home buyers

Renee was a joy to work with. Her communication was clear, frequent and kind. She was super helpful providing reminders and advice along the way which as a first home buyer was very much appreciated. My parents are both real estate agents so I went into this experience with high expectations and Renee exceeded them. Renee was hardworking and I always felt like a priority. She was always responsive and friendly. I am thrilled to have bought in the Vines estate. Everyone that has visited me has said they are shocked by how much nicer it is than most town houses. Can’t wait to make more lovely memories in my first home but Renee made sure I have been off to a positive start.

Outstanding Support Throughout My First Home-Buying Journey

I would like to give a big thank you to Mehak for helping me through the journey of purchasing my first home. As a first-home buyer, the whole process can feel overwhelming, but Mehak made everything so much easier. She was professional, friendly, approachable, and always willing to answer my questions. Her communication was excellent, and she kept me updated throughout the process. I really appreciated her patience, support, and dedication, especially during the negotiation and the more challenging parts of the purchase. Buying my first home is a big milestone in my life, and I’m grateful to have had Mehak helping me along the way. Highly recommend Mehak to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. Thank you again for all your help!

Her teamwork made our dream work

We are first home buyers and didn't know alot about the process of purchasing a property. Renee Oliver and her team were there at the very beginning from when we initially saw the property being showcased in a video to then hosting the open-home to following up with our questions and inspection appointments. If they didn't know the answer they would prompty find out and share their findings with us. We appreciated the prompt communication to and from the vendors and amongst each other. Renee Oliver and her team were able to help us professionally into our dream home, providing supportive guidance along the way. Thank you 🙏
