Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you to Jenny and the team for getting us over the line. It was a stressful time on our side, and you made a complicated process feel easy. Also thanks for recommending a local person to do the building inspection too - he was top notch.

Ian, as one of the 003 Team worked his magic in to separate ways wilt our sale. Firstly, I believe he came up with the marketing Headline of "Rase the flag." Appropriate as we proudly flew the NZ flag in an eye catching place. Ian's second bit of magic came with the staging of our home. Simple and supple changes with what we had. Ruthlessly de-cluttering us and add colour where a simple bloke like me would never even consider to.

An outstanding team; wise, friendly, constructive and flexible

We cannot fault the service we had from the entire team that Ian leads - including Jenny, Nicolette and Clare. They are all so well informed, flexible to accommodate client needs and incredibly collaborative as a team which is really special. We were buying an unusual property and had a lot of questions and needed several viewings which they accommodated whilst respecting the vendor. The warmth they showed was a real bonus as we were definitely out of our comfort zone, but they also respected our boundaries and didn't pester us - honestly we cannot praise them highly enough! If you are reading this team, massive thanks, your emotional intelligence, high quality communication and overall calibre of your work set you apart. You will always be welcome at our 'new home'...

Great first buy experience

Ian and Nicolette helped my wife and I hugely throughout the process of buying our first home. They went above and beyond when it came to arranging viewing and walking us through properties. Their open feedback throughout the entire process made what should have been a significantly more daunting event easy and seamless. I cannot recommend them enough and should any of my friends and family want to move to beachlands I will make sure to send them to Ian and Nicolette.

Ian was a pleasure to meet and we were very impressed with his local knowledge and enthusiasm. Ian is supported by other special agents - all of them independently are indeed special - and Ian is the forefront of bringing the team together I believe - so there you go - Ian knows his stuff! He knows people so well - he’ll always find the right win/win situation 🥳

Professional agent with outstanding market insights

Ian has a fantastic understanding of the Beachlands and Maraetai market. He was always available to answer any questions we had at any time and if he didn’t answer the phone he replied to messages as soon as he could. One of the things that my wife and I appreciated about Ian was his ability to navigate the narrow line between acting in the sellers interest and providing appropriate guidance to us as the purchasers. Once we were successful Ian and his team continued to support us in preparation for the move and then again post move was still able to act as an intermediate between us and the sellers over minor queries.

Next level outstanding!

We couldn’t be happier with the service we received from Ian, Nicolette and the 003 team. Ian and Nicolette truly went above and beyond, selling our house by tender in just two weeks. From the very first open home, they made our property look absolutely incredible — even to the point where we joked that we wanted to buy it ourselves! The thoughtful touches, like fresh flowers for the first open home, made such a difference and showed how much care and pride they took in presenting our home. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine commitment made the whole process smooth and stress-free. We highly recommend Barfoot 003 team, Ian and Nicolette to anyone looking to sell.

Working with Ian and the 003 team was a dream.

Working with Ian and Jenny was such an awesome experience. They made selling our family property so easy. The process was seamless, right from the beginning when we engaged with them to do the appraisal until the moment we settled with the new owners. They were realistic in their appraisal and kept us well informed along the whole journey. The stand out for us was we felt they were always working for us and with us. We were never pressured into making a decision that wasn't right for our family and what resulted was an outcome far beyond our expectations. We would recommend Ian, Jenny and the 003 team again and again. They are professional, down to earth and really care about the Pohutakawa Coast community. These guys are exceptional. You won't go wrong if you get them to sell you property.
