Lightning Sale

Emily has been a delight to work with throughout the house preparation and sale process. She and Stephen relieved our anxiety over the auction procedure and provided great communication, enthusiasm and professionalism in bringing us a sale in just 4 days. I would not hesitate to engage Emily in the future and strongly recommend her to anyone considering going to market.

Professional, efficient and experienced

We had a bad experience with another estate agency and had decided to pull our property from the market; it was stressful and expensive. We met Paul and after talking with him about our goals and expectations, decided to give it another shot. We were nervous but Paul's professional conduct, wealth of experience and practical yet warm approach, gave us the confidence that we could complete this sale profitably. Paul was a fantastically clear and effective communicator throughout the transaction. He was honest and realistic regarding our expectations, and taught us enough about the real-estate process to empower us to make educated decisions regarding our strategy. He kept us informed at every significant event, consistently discussing and re-evaluating, ensuring that we remained comfortable, aware and in control of the process. In the end, Paul found us more than one buyer, and helped us to work through negotiations to the mutual benefit of both parties. The sale and hand-over process went smoothly and to the timeline which Paul had laid out, with very little deviation from our expectations. We have since moved to Australia, and when we looked at purchasing a property here, the trust gained through that transaction prompted us to make contact with Paul to ask his opinion about the property. He went on to offer us good, honest and effective advice, which secured us the purchase amidst stiff competition. We've now made a significant step forward in our accumulation of wealth; we would not have attempted this, had Paul not stepped in to recover our loss of confidence in the real estate industry. Barfoot and Thompson as a brand, and the real-estate industry as a whole, should consider Paul a significant asset to its ranks. Any seller in Paul's area who is considering marketing their property would do well to offer Paul the opportunity to present a sales strategy; you will not be disappointed in the service he can deliver.

Couldn’t be happier

We recently had the pleasure of working with Mel for the sale of our property and the purchase of our dream home and we couldn’t be happier with the service we received. Mel was super friendly, professional and knowledgeable. She was always available to answer our questions and give the right advice. She made the whole process easy - thanks Mel!

From the start Emily was professional, polite and kept us informed through the entire journey of selling our home. Without her expertise I know we wouldn't of achieved the result we did. Both Heather and I are more than happy to recommend Emily to anyone considering selling their property. Waiuku is lucky to have her.

Tough Market - but worked hard!

Sharlene was hardworking, and managed to get the sale of our house over the line to enable us to get into our dream home. Thank you for all the hard work, hearing our worries and concerns during a stressful market. Communication is key, albeit a trying time, we got there in the end. With a good approach and lots of local knowledge of the area to pass on, I recommend Sharlene to any local seller/buyer. Thanks for all your hard work and making yourself available to us when we needed to reach you.

Sharlene is at the start of her career as an estate agent, but you wouldn't know and she called on any expertise available as we went through from first viewing to sale. Felt like we had the best advice and she worked really hard to find the most suitable buyers.

Review for Mel

Mel has been super easy to deal with. I found her quite knowledgable when it came to selling and buying. She was very open minded and positive when it came to selling our property. Mel was happy to take calls and texts any time of the day to answer any questions we had when contracts and offers came through. She guided us through the process and knew what to suggest at the right time. She just gave up her Sunday afternoon to take us around several properties. We would recommend her when selling and buying.
