We had a really great experience purchasing our new house with Team Barakat, we mainly dealt with Andrew. He made the whole process happen smoothly with no problems at all. We highly recommend Team Barakat to anyone looking to buy a new house.

Professional yet genuinely friendly from start to finish. Jamie gave us plenty of space to look around while still being available to answer any questions we had. The entire process was the most stress-free experience we’ve ever had in real estate. Jamie kept in regular contact and made everything feel easy. We would highly recommend his services.

Jamies expertise and experience was incredibly helpful as we navigated everything that is entailed in selling a house. If you need an agent that is not only professional but also very nice, Jamie is the one for you.

Melody was great to deal with and went over and above the extra mile to assist us with buying our house.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Cory Townsend from Lugtons Real Estate, and we were thoroughly impressed by his professionalism, dedication, and proactive approach throughout the process. Although Cory was representing the vendor, he consistently went above and beyond to ensure transparent communication and smooth coordination between all parties. Cory took the time to listen to our concerns, conveyed them thoughtfully to the vendor, and always kept us updated. His willingness to take calls and respond promptly, even beyond regular office hours, demonstrated his strong commitment to service. His positive outlook, professionalism, and excellent communication skills made the experience seamless and stress-free. We would also like to acknowledge Jamie Barakat, who, although not directly involved with us, engaged with the vendor and supported the process behind the scenes. His efforts contributed greatly to maintaining clarity and progress throughout. Both Cory and Jamie displayed genuine integrity, teamwork, and client-focused values—qualities that make Lugtons Real Estate truly stand out. We highly recommend them to anyone seeking a trustworthy and professional real estate team.

Jamie Barakat and Team Barakat are typically, a successful real estate team would demonstrate strong market knowledge, which includes a deep understanding of local real estate trends, pricing, inventory, and neighbourhood characteristics. This expertise often aids me in making informed decisions. In terms of communication, effective teams prioritize clear and transparent interactions. Jamie usually respond promptly to inquiries, provide regular updates throughout the selling process, and are open to discussing our needs and concerns. Professionalism is also a key aspect with Jamie. A reputable team would maintain ethical standards, adhere to regulations, and cultivate a positive reputation in the community, ensuring that clients feel valued and respected throughout their real estate transactions

From the first point of contact to the sale of our home at auction, Jamie was fantastic. We chose to work with Jamie for his marketing campaign proposal and his professionalism and he didn't dissapoint. Thanks again for making the process so seamless!

Cory was amazing from day 1. Told us the truth about what he could get for it and marketed to the exact people that needed to see it . The open homes were easy and communication throughout the whole process was flawless .. Thanks Cory pleasure as always

Jamie has an excellent reputation for a reason. From the very start, he was prompt, professional, and approachable. Thanks to his expertise and no-nonsense approach, he sold our house for exactly what we needed. I would highly recommend Jamie to anyone looking for a reliable and effective real estate agent.

I knew a little Jamie beforehand, but our first property dealing was purchasing 18 Rata Street through him. That experience was outstanding, so we asked him to sell it for us again when our circumstances changed. He went the extra mile, made everything easy, and always delivered the right information. No fluff, no pressure. Communication was prompt and clear, the marketing brought the right buyers, and settlement was smooth. We would recommend Jamie to family and friends without hesitation. It was the experience you hope for from a top level agent. Thank you Jamie!

Working with Jamie and the team was an outstanding experience. He sold our house very quickly and achieved an excellent price. What impressed us most was his professionalism and how seamless he made the entire process. As we were living overseas with demanding jobs, it was reassuring to have someone so professional, proactive, and trustworthy handling everything on our behalf. His clear communication and deep market knowledge gave us complete confidence. We are truly grateful for his expertise and highly recommend him and his team to anyone looking to sell their property.

Jamie was the agent that sold us 4 Akapuka Place. From the start of going to the open home, Jamie was nothing but helpful. He could answer all of our questions and was not pushy at all. We decided pretty quickly after viewing the house that we wanted to see the house a second time and Jamie went out of his way to organise that. I would recommend Jamie if you are buying or selling a house in the future
