Definitely the right choice - property sold - fair price - record time - no drama.

Mark, Jenny, Ian & Nicolette came as a team and we were impressed. Very professional. Obviously good market knowledge as their appraisal worked out to be pretty accurate. Open and honest communication throughout. Updates were always timely, making the most of simple messaging. Property sold - fair price - record time - no drama.

Local Knowledge Matters.

Local Knowledge Matters.

Ian and Jenny from the Barfoots 003 team take a refreshing approach to selling residential real estate. With a catchy theme, pleasant easy going personalities and attention to detail, the 003 three team have a point of difference that makes it easy to work with them to find a solution to your needs. I highly recommend having a chat with Ian or Jenny if you're considering a move to the Pohutukawa Coast.

Ian and Team 003 achieved a great result with the recent marketing and sale of our home. They worked tirelessly throughout the tender process, keeping us in the loop and offering honest feedback. We would recommend Ian to anyone looking to maximise the return on the sale of their property!

The local experts

We signed up with Ian because of his high profile in the local community and positive feedback from friends. Ian was flexible in how we wanted to list our property. He was friendly, easy-going and professional. We were impressed with Ian’s knowledge of the local market, his network of potential buyers and his availability when we had questions. His team did an excellent job in supporting us and in getting the sale across the line.

Massive thanks to the team

We just want to say a massive thank you to Ian and his team, While it took a while for us to commit to listing our home for sale, Ian and his team were amazing at providing information and support/patients through our journey. When we chose to list with Ian and his team, we knew we were going to be in good hands and the results proved we were. Thank you again Ian and the team,

the 003 team are a top real estate team to work with.

Ian and Nicolette are renown for their their local market knowledge and the 003 team proved to be the right choice to market our property, They were very professional throughout the whole process from advising us of the best marketing plan, how to present the property for video and photo shoots and open homes which resulted in a sale of the property within 3 weeks. feed back from viewings was excellent supported by a weekly in depth report.

Exceeded expectations

The 003 team were amazing helping us in the sale of our home but also when it came to helping us find our next home. They were helpful without being pushy, always considerate and professional. They were available at the drop of a hat to answer any questions or provide us with feedback. Would totally recommend Ian, Nicolette, Mark & Jenny when considering selling property on the Coast.

Simply the best

Simply the best

In 2005 we returned from working overseas and were put in touch with a super guy by he name of Ian Boswell who sold us our lovely home in Beachlands. That experience was so good that we vowed to go back to Ian if and when we needed to sell. And that time came in September 2022 - which was just about the most perfect time NOT to sell. But our faith in Ian and his 003 team never wavered. Ian’s indefatigable relentless positivity, and his ability to solve any problem that came up, with his wide access to a network of people that he has built up over the years of service that he has given to the Beachlands community were always reassuring. And over a year later, with the market starting to recover from the price drop associated with rapidly escalating interest rates, Ian and Mark and the team found us not just one buyer, but 2 families who were both keen to live in our house with its sea views. Given the long sales period involved in the sale - we are sure many would have abandoned us! We even joked about the hours spent strategising the best way forward and the seemingly never-ending open homes! Those hours to us were a nuisance but to Ian his work rate return must have seemed like a rate of $2 per hour. But Ian and Mark Van Ettan (Ian’s trusty offsider) never complained and never gave up. In the end they had moved from being not just wonderful agents but wonderful friends too! So we are very pleased to have the opportunity to say a BIG THANK YOU to Ian, Mark and the entire team for their conscientious and persistent endeavours to sell our home and we can assure anyone looking for an agent in Beachlands that Ian and his 003 team are “simply the best” Please accept our best wishes for the future Regards Mo and Gray
