Excellent experience. Meredith kept us updated throughout the whole process of selling our property, even putting up with Willow climbing all over her, and made the process pretty painless! We would definitely recommend her.

We recently had the pleasure of purchasing a property which Meredith was selling, we found her to be very professional and helpful, she was knowledgeable about the house and area, she answered any questions quickly. She went out of her way to help us with making the entire experience of the property purchase a pleasant one! We particularly loved her kind and caring nature.

Really great communication,. Definitely very professional. Would use Meredith again as a pleasurable person to work with during difficult times of selling recently deceased parents home by executors who live in other parts of New Zealand.

Excellent communication, service and can do attitude. Meredith goes the extra mile and is always cheerful and professional. She knows how to get your property sold!

As out of town vendors it was important for us to work with an agent we could relate to and rely on. Meredith was everything we could hope for. With her friendly and approachable manner she was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Her attention to detail and her honest approach when relaying information to us from prospective buyers was outstanding. Meredith went above and beyond our expectations making selling Mum's home much easier than we had imagined. We can't thank Meredith enough and would highly recommend her to prospective clients.

Meredith is one of barfoot and thompson’s best assests! We thoroughly enjoyed our home buying experience and Meredith smoothed the waters of a very stressful time that house buying is!! She was brilliant at helping us negotiate the auction process and because of that we bought our dream home!!

Strong knowledge local area and market trends. Combines professionalism with warmth and relational skills. Readily available. Persevered to get a positive result for buyer and seller.

Meredith was an absolute pleasure to work with! We were impressed by her positive attitude, enthusiasm, friendly approach and professionalism. Her efficiency and promptness in communication between us as buyers, and vendors, her excellent recommendations for other key players in the home buying process, and her insight into local services and amenities were all very helpful when we were buying our first NZ home. Thank you, Meredith!

I would like to thank Meredith publicly for her excellent management throughout the marketing process and sale of our home in Orewa. We are currently living in Wellington and after reading her profile and reviews on the Barfoot website, I had no hesitation in selecting Meredith as our agent. After chatting over the phone and arranging one meeting onsite, Meredith took charge and with speed and efficiency ensured the property was ready for sale in just one week. Everything she did was completed to the highest standard and her lovely kind, capable and friendly manner ensured we felt relaxed, confident and more than happy to follow her advice. As we were absent vendors, Meredith worked well beyond what we would expect of an agent ensuring the property was always presentable for photos, open homes and utimately the auction. I really cannot recommend Meredith highly enough; she is so professional in everything she does, she is trustworthy, always cheerful and a great communicator. The photos were amazing, the advertising perfect, her attention to detail left no stone unturned and together with the Barfoot's team on the night, we were delighted to successfully sell our home.


When it came time to move on there were 2 things we wanted - Meredith Galliven and Barfoot & Thompson ( so it was lucky she worked for them ) Knowing Meredith personally was a big part in terms of Trust ( a huge thing for any prospectively agent ) and her success as well stood out to us. From day one we had everything explained simplistically. Open homes attracted more views than we thought we’d get at the time (March/ April 24’ )as the market was changing. She followed through thoroughly with every prospect including one group we thought “it would never happen”. This ended up being the group that did purchased our place which included some interesting clauses in the S&P contract. If your on the Hibiscus Coast you simply should not go past Meredith whether selling or buying .
