I owned a property which I could only live in for limited periods, and which I needed to sell, and I also wanted a property I could live in for an extended period. Ian helped me to understand the market for both selling and buying here in NZ for which I am very grateful. In particular Ian drew my attention to certain facts about properties of a certain date which might require additional investment to address certain structural problems, which I was unaware of. In combination with Jenny Chandler and other members of the Barfoot team I was able to navigate the sometimes tricky market factors unique to NZ. We have finally come very close to achieving the two goals I started with, for which I am very grateful.

Best result ever...... Fast working and great advice The whole team are fantastic, professional & knowledgeable

Easy, clear communication; sensitive and accommodating to our needs and circumstances; organised, efficient, committed to our best interests. Thank you Ian and Team 003

Ian and the Team of 003 Special Agents have been nothing less than professional and accommodating in all respects. I could not recommend them enough. Great communication and we have been delighted with the service that Ian and the Team provided.

We had the house valued by a number of agents over the last couple of years, we love our house, but have known for a while that it is a little large for us and no longer met our needs. It was a difficult decision to sell, but when we finally made the decision, we specifically sought out Ian. Over the past couple of years we noted that Ian has always been fair and professional regarding colleagues in the housing market - something we respected. He was knowledgeable, approachable, friendly and always made time for questions even before we put the house on the market, again something we acknowledged and respected. We didn’t get the heavy sell with barfoots, whilst this was nice, I do wonder whether a little more avid follow up (phone call as well as email after a valuation, and potentially another quick call a few months later may get them a few more listings as all the others did this.) We were pleasantly surprised at the package deal, - the lower cost of the advertising package and the free walk round from the house consultant were some of the features that would have easily sung the decision had we been on the fence, but we were not aware of until we just about signed on the dotted line. With regards to the agent - amazing. Ian went over and above to make the process more comfortable, easier, less stressful and streamlined. Always at the end of the phone, always friendly, nothing was too much trouble. We have already strongly recommended him to friends who are starting to consider moving. Thank you for everything!

I found Ian and his team excellent to work with their knowledge of the market at the time of selling was bang on

Great team effort 003! Good communication, we’re spot on with appraisal, great results! Professional with a sense of humour! Made for a smooth sale! Thank you team 003!

Ian Boswell assisted us in selling our family home of 30 years in Whitford Auckland. Although the process took a while to complete considering the economic times we are going through, Ian marketed and actioned the process relentlessly for the duration of the sale campaign. At the start, the marketing materials produced and published were topnotch. During the ensuing period, Ian and his super friendly colleague did not spare any effort in the campaign. Open home sessions were regular throughout the period till a sale was agreed. We have no hesitation recommending Ian and his 003 team to anyone contemplating selling within the Whitford/ Beachland and Maraetai areas of Auckland.

Whilst our sale took longer than we had hoped for, due to softening market conditions, Ian and his team, especially Clare, never flagged in their marketing efforts to get a sale across the line. Totally professional throughout the process, nothing was too much effort - they made a stressful situation manageable.

Ian and the 003 team provided excellent service when selling my home. They made the entire process quite painless. The Open Homes were very well run, and I really appreciated receiving feedback after each one. They sold my home quickly and seamlessly; I would recommend them to anyone looking to sell their own home.

The 003 team were awesome! They were very professional at all times and had great knowledge of the local market. They were a pleasure to deal with and managed to sell our house in record time.

All the hard work paid off. Good communication. Easy to deal with. Great result.
