Very friendly and professional. Always contactable whenever you needed him

My wife and I were both really impressed from our first connection with Ian around how engaging he was with us, allowing us to ask questions around the process, and taking the time to make sure we were comfortable with every step. He made what should have been a stressful process, smooth and carefree.

Exactly the experience we wanted

Having worked in real estate before and currently working in the property data industry, I knew exactly what I wanted from an agent and Ian and his team delivered on all fronts. The process was smooth and professional and we got a great result in exactly the time frame we needed. Thanks Ian!

Team du Plessis

Team du Plessis

Now where do you start when you describe Team du Plessis..... AMAZING! Ian and his team were fantstic from get go, after our first meeting with him we knew we were in the right hands. He knew excatly what the market was doing and he was very honest about what to expect from him, the current market and was very realistic on the amount we would get for our house. When you choose Ian to sell your house, you not only get a reliable, funny, friendly, hard working professional agent but also the team who work with him behind the scenes especially his assistant Kate. We would highly recommend Ian & team and would definitely use them again to sell our next home.

An excellent agent, delivering beyond our expectations.

We found that Ian was very aware of market values. He worked hard to get us the best possible price for our home. He gave us good advice on presentation and was attentive, polite, honest and 100% reliable. We had full confidence in him. We would thoroughly recommend him if you are looking for an agent in the Franklin area. Chris and Jeanette

An outstanding Agent

An outstanding Agent

Ian is the ultimate professional. He responds to calls and messages without fail and is always ready to give his opinion whenever it is asked for. His recommendations to us have been spot on through two somewhat difficult sales and one purchase. Ian is a thinker and will come up with solutions outside the square, he has a prodigious memory and a happy knack of matching property with prospective buyers where other agents would not come up with the connection. Coupled with his exemplary work ethic and high activity level he is hard to fault. Ian is a delightful person and a joy to work with, always ready with a smile, even to the dumbest questions. Ian has a great support team and all the small details are attended to in a timely manner. I would recommend Ian without a moments hesitation if you are buying or selling. Without any doubt, Ian would be our agent of choice if we were ever to venture into this market again.

Thanks for all your valuable help Ian. Very professional, but also a very friendly person to deal with. Always responded to all calls within a short time - that was so appreciated when an 'unknown' cropped up. Thank you so much.

Fantastic service, good advice and no issues touching base at anytime. I found Ian to be very easy to deal with and he was more than helpful before I had even signed with him.

Definately a good caring agent.

Ian was recommended to me by a friend. Ian is a man of integrity, who Was very helpful, when ever I needed to ask a question, or needed something done. Ian knows the ins, and outs of realestate, and was willing to listen to what I wanted for the sale of my property. Team Du plessis, also consists of Elizabeth who did a lovely job, with the video of my house. Together Ian and Elizabeth worked well together to sell my place, and I know will do the same to sell yours.

Great to have in your corner

Great to have in your corner

A property often sells itself in a booming market so we had the opportunity to see Ian put his skills to use in the marketing and sale of our home in a market that is starting to slow and becoming flooded with property and achieve a great result. He kept us informed throughout the entire process of sale, communicated honestly and worked professionally to ensure we maintained a realistic view of potientual sale price and used his strong negotiation skills to close the deal on our property. Ian has an incredible amount of knowledge of the local market which he always made time to share with us.

The sale of 14B Reidy Place Pukekohe

Ian was amazing to deal with. He always kept me informed regarding comments from potential purchasers and also open homes. Each week I received information on market trends and customer interest. I would have no hesitation in recommending Ian to everyone selling their home. He is very professional and definitely knows the Pukekohe market. He secured a great sale price for me and I sincerely thank him for that. Andrea

Very happy to recommend Ian

Throughout the process of selling our house and purchasing a new house we found Ian to be incredibly helpful, considerate, patient and knowledgeable. We found the selling and purchasing process a bit stressful and Ian provided reassurance and good advice when we needed it which made the entire process more enjoyable. Nothing seemed too much trouble and he was always available to talk through any queries we had. I would highly recommend Ian to anyone as he (and the Barfoot team) made our experience a positive one.
