Charles sold my property in a difficult Auckland market - and earned it. I live in France, so every conversation was at an awkward hour. They always came back promptly and never left me guessing where things stood. Selling remotely, that was great. Good advice on pricing, well run open homes, staging that lifted the property, advertising that brought the right buyers through, and patient handling of a lot of detailed enquiries. They told me what I needed to hear rather than what I wanted to. We had offers fall over along the way. They kept the momentum and finished with a clean unconditional sale. Recommended without hesitation.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Charles to sell my apartment, and I was very impressed with the entire experience. With the current market conditions, I expected the sale to be a challenging and lengthy process, but Charles made everything much easier than I anticipated. He was professional, approachable, and always kept me well informed. His dedication and attention to detail gave me confidence throughout the process, and I always knew my property was being looked after. Thank you, Charles, for your hard work and for achieving such a fantastic outcome. I would definitely recommend Charles to anyone considering selling their property!

We appreciated Charles' clear and open communication, keeping us updated as we journeyed towards achieving a sale.

Having had our unique St Heliers property on the market with several notable agencies for some time, we were fortunate when a well-dressed gentleman strolled up “The Rise” to see us. A specialist in large land holdings in the Eastern Bays, Charles Benedict was confident he would be able to find us the right buyer. We were impressed from the start with his knowledge of the market, understanding of buyers’ needs and wishes, as well as those of the vendor, and with his obvious experience. And he succeeded, going the extra mile to achieve a sale for us in just over two months! On the personal side, he was always discreet, polite, respectful, professional, and very helpful in guiding us through the final negotiations. We cannot recommend him highly enough.

Working with Charles was an absolute pleasure. His professional approach led to a fantastic end result, and the entire process was incredibly smooth. His vast knowledge and extensive local database were instrumental in the sale. I would strongly recommend him to anyone seeking a talented and committed expert.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Charles. His exceptional approach led to an excellent outcome. He was knowledgeable, and the entire process felt seamless. Additionally, he had a great local database, which resulted in a highly competitive campaign for the sale of the property. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and dedicated professional.

I would like to personally thank Charles and Dan and everyone else at Barfoots for the amazing service and support I have received during the marketing programme and subsequent sale of my home at 2/33 Swainston Road, St. Johns. The professionalism, care and enthusiasm shown by Charles and Dan were extraordinary. I am still trying to assimilate receiving two great offers in the first 48hours of listing, having 65 groups through the first open homes while negotiations were still in play and having four more parties wanting to make offers the next day, all at a time when media were painting a grim picture for vendors. Throughout the short sale process I had no doubt that Charles and Dan worked as hard as they could to achieve the best result for myself, the vendor. I believe strongly that this success was a combination of setting a very realistic price, appropriate investment in marketing, brilliant sales and marketing support from Charles and Dan and an excellent presentation of the property. My home in St. Johns was a modest, very tidy brick and tile unit with no pretensions, but you managed to maximise its benefits to achieve a wonderful result. Thank you to Charles and Dan and all the team at Barfoot & Thompson, Meadowbank. Kind regards, Mike O'Hanlon
