I worked with Drue Matich and the team at Barfoot & Thompson Whangaparāoa to sell my home, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. Drue was straight-up, clear, and kept up regular communication throughout the entire process. With his guidance (and a bit of teamwork from our side!), the house was sold in under two weeks. Professional, efficient, and easy to work with — I’m genuinely impressed and very happy with the outcome. Highly recommend Drue and the Whangaparāoa team.

Dynamic, professional, and a pleasure to work with - Drue Matich and his team were outstanding from start to finish. Their great communication, attention to detail, and seamless process made the journey from listing through to sale incredibly smooth. Their strategic and well-executed marketing also played a huge part in attracting the right buyers and showcasing the property at its best. Drue has a fantastic team behind him, and it really shows in the level of service and support they provide.

Working with Drue (and Danielle and Tamsin) has been a genuinely refreshing experience. In a small town, you hear every story about every agent, and you get used to the usual sales lines. Drue isn’t like that. He’s been around long enough to know the game, he’s already proven himself, and he doesn’t need to oversell or tell you what you want to hear. What stood out most is that he’s more focused on the type of client he’s representing than the dollar value of the house. His advice is grounded, realistic, and actually worth listening to. I’ve come to believe that if someone has an issue with Drue, it’s probably because they weren’t really hearing the guidance he was giving or came in with a distorted expectation of the process. At the end of the day, it felt like dealing with a straight-up, capable adult — no pushiness, no pressure, just solid work and calm professionalism. We’re grateful for the result and would happily recommend him.

Drue and his team delivered an exceptional level of professionalism throughout the entire sale process, guiding us with clear advice, steady communication, and a calm confidence that kept our stress levels surprisingly civilised. Their market knowledge was spot-on, and their attention to detail unwavering. Thanks to their efforts, our property sold on excellent terms. We’re thoroughly impressed with their service and would recommend them without hesitation.

Drue from the beginning was eager and positive and ready to put in the extra mile. It was a pretty quiet market at the time I listed my house yet Drue and his team stayed enthusiastic and on the ball the whole time and got a great result within a couple of months. I'm very impressed. Thank you Drue and team for an amazing experience.

We came to Drue after 10 weeks of being on the market without sale. Drue rallied our listing to go live in a matter of days after signing agency and 8 days later we were unconditional - needless to say he is listing our next propert.

Drue and his team did a great job marketing and selling our property in a difficult market. They tried different strategies to get a result and communicated clearly and regularly.

We recently sold our home via auction in Auckland and had the absolute pleasure of working with Drue and Danielle. From the very beginning, they were both incredibly professional, clear, and consistent in their communication, keeping us informed and confident every step of the way. What truly set them apart was how much it genuinely felt like they were in our corner, advising us with their expertise, making smart decisions on our behalf, and never pushing for a quick sale. Their guidance and commitment to getting the best outcome made it a a really easy experience. We’re so grateful to have had them on our team and would highly recommend Drue and Danielle to anyone looking to sell.

Drue Matich took ownership of marketing, and advised on important details, including recommending good contractors who prepared and staged the property professionally. We were regularly updated on progress, with Drue and his team keeping the momentum going until the sale was made. We are very pleased with the professionalism and effectiveness of the campaign.

It is a pleasure to walk through my property sale journey with Drue and his team Genene, Danielle, Tamsin, Dani. They are friendly, thoughtful, highly professional, and working efficiently with outstanding communication skills.

Everything was easy and well explained from the start,main thing for me as Drew felt honest from the start which I’ve found over the years is rare in a realestate agent. Awesome communication and feed back with open homes and good communication with other agents. Couldn’t be any better 🤙🏽🤙🏽
