Testimonial: Nadja Court I live in Scotland but found myself owning a house in New Zealand which I needed to sell. With no family or friends in NZ my needs from an estate agent were going to be potentially more than the normal demands and so it was important that I found someone prepared to go above and beyond ordinary duties. Barfoot and Thompson emerged as the front agency runner from the performance information I was able to see online and, within that company, Nadja Court’s excellent performance and success was clearly evidenced. However the personal touch is also important, so Nadja helpfully made herself available for a long telephone conversation (there’s a challenging time difference!) and on the basis of all that information I decided to engage her services. I have had no reason to be disappointed. Nadja set up a WhatsApp group to ease communication. Lika DeVito, one of her colleagues, was involved and organised a great cleaner for the house and someone to remove the unwanted “stuff”. Both made themselves available out of hours to keep me informed of progress, giving me feedback on viewings etc. It transpired that the house required a lot of work so was not an easy sale. However Nadja worked incredibly hard to deliver innumerable viewers. She also held my hand as I struggled with the concept and practice of an auction, not common in Scotland, and helped steady my nerves as we got near the big day. My husband and I were able to watch the auction on line and were astonished that Nadja had managed to deliver seven bidders at the auction. To my surprised an excellent price was achieved. I have no doubt that it was Nadja’s efforts, ably supported by Lika, who made this possible. My grateful thanks to them both.

Good knowledge of area, always kept us up to date regarding sale and purchase process

After 11 years in our large North Shore home, we recently decided to undertake a change of lifestyle and approached (interviewed!) a number of real estate agents who had proven records of selling high-end properties in this area, choosing Nadja Court. Nadja quickly presented & arranged the Marketing Campaign, with the appointed Photographer, Videographer & Floor Plan drawer all of great quality, sharing & asking for our comment at each step to ensure we were in agreement. Or making changes where requested. Nadja also ensured her fellow Barfoot & Thompson branches were 'on the case' - with an outstanding 60 'groups' through the Open Houses or separate inspections across the 5 weeks of marketing. In the current tight market, this was beyond expectation. When Nadja had to go an unexpected operation, her colleague Lika stepped in and managed the Open Houses and was quick to follow-up - with a high number of 2nd, 3rd and 4th visits achieved. Nadja & Lika's advice along the way was appreciated - and with compassion and dedication tucked in there too, they was a pleasure to work with!

“ We were impressed with the level of service we received from Nadja when selling our property on Great Barrier Island. Cyclone Gabriel and the inclement weather over Xmas meant that selling this property was always going to be a challenge. Nadja had a good marketing plan in place and diligently followed up all enquiry. It is easy to see how she has become one of the top agents for Barfoot and Thompson.”

To whom it may concern , I listed my Auckland home for sale as I have moved to Wanaka to live . My property was in a good street in Murray's Bay however it had a few building concerns and a tenant that had a new young baby . It's not an easy ask to sell in a very tough market and work through all the property issues . Nadja's advice was invaluable to help solve the issues, she organised multiple quotes and tradesman to assist me so I could have buyers for Auction . She was also very patient and supportive with my tenants balancing viewings so they were also happy and keen to stay . Not easy for anyone . Nadja managed to achieve a very strong price for me, overcoming all the hurdles and ensuring I felt well looked after. She gave me market information to support sales figures and really pushed the buyers to achieve an unconditional sale . This allowed me the ability to purchase my new home in Wanaka . I trust Nadja and would always seek her advice buying and selling a home anywhere . Thanks once again . Karen

Nadja was wonderful to have on board when selling my house. She's efficient, professional and knowledgable.

Nadja knew her buyers market and provided us with a speedy settlement. Her communication with us during the campaign was honest and thorough. Thank you for your professionalism we have no hesitation in using you and recommending you to others in the future.

Nadja listed our property in a very difficult market when nothing was selling easily and buyers would not commit . We had a few hurdles to overcome , a bathroom that was not legal, some wear and tear over a few years and a very steep driveway . Nadja really helped steer us in the right direction and gave us confidence we could still achieve an unconditional sale and move. Her advice was invaluable , her support through the whole process was huge, as we were extremely stressed about our situation and the work not permitted . She kept us calm, was extremely patient and supportive and assured us we would get over any hurdles . Unbelievably we did just that . Auction day came and we sold on the day. We can’t thank Nadja enough for her steady hand and unwavering support We highly recommend Nadja to anyone who wants the very best .

My experience was a very good one. It always is working with Nadja. She always makes the experience of buying a home an enjoyable one. She has great market knowledge and fantastic people skills. She is honest and has great character. I have been working with Nadja for around 30 years and will continue to do so.

Nadja is quick, honest & friendly. I’ve bought through her in the past. She was the only agent who was spot on with my requirements & showed me houses that fitted the brief. I recently sold through Nadja. You don’t use the same agent unless you are confident in their ability & knowledge. In the recent sale of a family estate house she was supportive & assisted with good practical solutions for repairs & council consent required pre sale.

I had met Nadja at one of her open homes. I had described to Nadja what i was looking for and within a week Nadja had contacted me about a newly listed home in the East Coast Bays. It was a great property and was just what I had been looking for. We had negotiated a short settlement date (Christmas was looming) and I secured the property at Auction. Nadja and her team were a great help through the purchasing process and were very helpful with the house inspections (Etc) and negotiations with the Vendors. I wouldn't hesitate recommending Nadja to my friends and family who are looking to sell or purchase a new home. Thanks again to Nadja and her team!

On this occasion we went to auction to buy the property. Via the phone from Wales. Nadja drove to Northland to be there live. She was her professional self making sure the deal was done at a price we were happy with. I have bought and sold through Nadja for the past 30 years and I would never entertain using anyone else. Thanks Nadja we are over the moon. with this purchase.
