From the time I signed with Ian to sell my property, he was courteous, professional, knowledgeable and incredibly helpful. Compared to properties sold in the past, Ian's point of difference was the excellent communication and dedication to helping me achieve top dollar. His negotiation skills on auction night were unprecedented in comparison with my past experience! He achieved what I thought was impossible and I have so much gratitude for the way in which he managed the process. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone wanting to sell their property in South Auckland and Franklin.

Ian was great to deal with. He made suggestions about presentation that we think really helped in the end. He was very fast to reply to any of our questions. Honest and reliable. We don’t think we would have achieved the price range we received using another agent/agency.

Ian supported our family to purchase an amazing lifestyle property. We had been looking for a home to share with my parents and we had great success with Ian’s help. Ian efficiently organized house viewings, supported us in building reports, providing property documents, advice on price and bidding styles and much more. His support meant that on auction night we were all prepared to bid and we were successful in getting our dream property. Since auction night, Ian has supported us to sell two properties, arranged a visit to the new home and offered support as an intermediary between the vendors and ourselves. We would highly recommend Ian and his team if you are looking to buy or sell. Thank you for all your support during this process. What could have been an extremely stressful process was in fact seamless and easy. We can’t wait for settlement where we can move into our dream home. 😊

Ian’s knowledge of the property market was second to none. He worked to ensure we were informed throughout the entire campaign. The high level marketing and digital footprint Ian gave our property ensured we were in a prime position to sell. Ian also worked with us to purchase a home. He helped to keep us informed throughout the entire process and helped us get the property for the right price on auction night. I would highly recommend Ian and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell. With their guidance this process becomes seamless. Thank you again for all your support and time throughout this process! We look forward to working with you again (though not for a few years, we want to enjoy the new house first!).

We began our journey with Ian and his team a few years ago, when we first considered selling our property. During the 4 years that followed, we have been kept up to date with the market; this was unobtrusive, yet informative, and with absolutely no pressure at all. When we decided to seriously consider placing the property on the market, Ian gave us very objective analysis of the market trends at that time, and advised us what we should or should not do if we were to proceed. This advice has turned out to be exactly right. The entire process of listing was seamless, with every question answered as we worked together to ensure that the advertising was accurate, and the whole process went without a hitch. This was despite our being absent, with covid travel restrictions preventing our being in New Zealand at any stage of the sales process. Ian could not have been more professional, or more helpful. On every occasion that we needed clarification or additional information it was prompt and courteous. His knowledge and experience truly showed, and we appreciate having a stress-free journey from start to finish. Thank you Ian, Elizabeth, Callena and the rest of the Barfoot team. We have no hesitation in recommending you all to anybody that wishes to have a bump-free road to selling their home.

Ian went above and beyond to help us sell our property and was extremely efficient in everything he did. The end result was better than we could of imagined and would highly recommend getting in contact with him if you’re considering selling.

We found Ian friendly and easy to ask questions, he did what he could to help us to purchase this property.

Ian is fantastic to deal with. He kept us fully informed and up to date every step of the way when we were selling our property. He is very professional and we would recommend him to anybody either buying or selling a property.

Ian has sold both our homes for us and it has always been such a swift easy painless experience. Communication is always amazing and the goals are never unrealistic. Another very happy successful sale with a very knowledgeable and professional salesman. Thank you heaps

Ian provided us with exceptional service, advice and guidance throughout the process of selling our house. He was a pleasure to work with and kept us up to date and informed at all times. His professionalism stood out and he delivered on what he said he would (and then some). We ended up with a result that exceeded our expectations and made the process of selling our house an enjoyable one.

Ian has outstanding market knowledge and is very in tune with what buyers are looking for. He guided us through our journey making it really easy. Constant updates and feedback from potential buyers along the way helped us to make decisions and with Ian's guidance we got a result we couldn't be happier with. When selling our biggest asset we went with the best and it definitely paid off. Thanks Ian

Ian's advice was spot on, his communication is clear, he follows up, he obviously knows his market as evidenced by how things panned out and is skilled in tact and diplomacy. Ian and his team achieved a result well beyond our expectations. A first class agent.
