If you are looking for a real estate agent who genuinely delivers then I recommend Carl Watkins from Barfoot & Thompson, Ponsonby. Carl has a deep knowledge of the local market. Equally impressive is his responsiveness. No matter the time of day he was always prompt in responding to questions, providing updates, and keeping the momentum going. Throughout the entire sale process Carl maintained the highest level of professionalism, handling every detail with care and integrity. Buying or selling real estate can be stressful, but Carl’s expertise and proactive communication made it seamless. Carl is an agent who is knowledgeable, incredibly fast on his feet and completely professional.

When we finally found the home we were looking for after years of looking, Carl worked hard to get us in there. He was always quick with responses so made the process easy.

we purchased through carl in dec 25 a new build townhouse. carl's enthusiasm for the job is evident and he seems to balance vendor and purchaser needs/outcomes well. we are happy with the outcome.

Carl’s knowledge, specifically of the apartment market was immediately evident and his expertise guiding the sale/ auction process invaluable.. A great result all round, thanks Carl.

From start to finish, Carl was professional, easy to deal with, and genuinely committed to getting us the best outcome. He gave us sound advice to help us market our apartment, and got the job done drawing on his own network of contacts. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Carl.

I'm delighted to have recently worked with Carl to buy an apartment for a client of mine, based in Tokyo. Carl was the consumate professional throughout and represented his vendor's best interests without exception. Very highly recommended.

He’s a straight shooter—a genuine, prompt communicator, knowledgeable, and responsive - without being pushy. If you're house-hunting and want someone who makes the process pretty stress-free, with a few laughs along the way, look no further.

Carl impressed us from our first meeting with his honesty, his assessment of our property and the apartment market. His advice and expertise were proven absolutely accurate throughout the process and his data base invaluable in achieving an excellent sale. We highly recommend Carl particularly to anyone looking for a high quality apartment in Auckland

Carl was great to deal with—communicative, extremely helpful, and always easy to reach. It was a pleasure working with him on this purchase, and I highly recommend his services

Carl was 'onto it' from day 1 and didn't give up despite a lack of interest in the property for some time, continuing to do open homes when few people came, and looking for other options to market. Then when an offer was received, Carl again went the extra mile and secured a price higher than I expected, by recommending to me that I maintain the advertised price despite the offer being lower, and it worked. Carl is accessible and personable, will definately use him again next time.

We have worked with Carl on a few property purchases and sales over the years, especially in the area of Kingsland. He has a great knowledge of the area and the apartment/townhouse market especially. He conducted a seamless and extensive marketing campaign on a recent sale for us, closing the deal in a professional manner and within a reasonably short time considering this market. Thanks Carl.

Great dealing with Carl, transparent and helpful.
