About Narender

As a salesperson, I am committed to providing a friendly, professional and ethical service. My experience in the industry has taught me how to develop and nurture long term relationships with all my clients. I achieve this through clear communication and providing honest advice and up-to-date information on the latest market trends. This enables my clients to make informed decisions. Prior to joining the team at Barfoot & Thompson Te Atatu in 2004, I was the proprietor and partner of a specialist real estate agency for seven years. I successfully marketed high-end residential and commercial real estate and delivered quality service to many individuals and prestigious organisations. It was over this time that I developed a real passion for the industry. Barfoot & Thompson was my company of choice simply because of its reputation for fair, ethical and professional service with the client’s interest at the core of every transaction. These principles align perfectly with my own. I am very aware of the complexities and stress of selling or buying a property, irrespective of the market conditions and I will make your real estate journey as easy and hassle-free as possible. I believe in adding value to every transaction with my professional advice and tailor-made marketing solutions based on the target market for each property. In all aspects of my business relations, I stand by my core values of hard work, honesty, integrity, diligence, and empathy. At least 20 of my years in the business, I’ve sold in West Auckland, specialising in residential property, new builds and project sales, land development sites and investment property. I have accumulated an elaborate database of investors and developers. This helps me find more buyers to achieve better outcomes for my clients. I always strive to provide exceptional service exceeding my clients’ expectations. I am a true local having lived in Te Atatu for many years with my wife, daughter and our precious family dog. My interests are fitness, sports, tracking, gardening, and meeting new people. During my down time I love enjoying a couple of beers and BBQ with my family and friends. Give me the opportunity and I will grab it with both hands. I will give you the best real estate experience ever!
