Excellent Communicator and negotiator with compassion

Excellent Communicator and negotiator with compassion

My property was a monolithic town house which was very difficult for people to get Finance on and therefore difficult to sell. It was a real roller coaster of emotions. Most offers would fall over quickly because the finance would be declined immediately but every so often there would be one that got close which was harder to take when it fell over. Rachel kept the positivity up and along with Gurvik kept looking for the next buyer. She is a good listener which I think is one of the things that makes her good as a negotiator. A good example of her negotiation stills is when I had some work done on the house which involved scaffolding on the house. This was arranged through the builder. The scaffolding was not taken down after the job was complete despite promises to the builder of when it would be done. After over a month of getting no where Rachel offered to help. She spoke to the builder and the scaffolder and the scaffolding was down in a couple of days. All the offers I was presented exceeded my expectation of sales price. There were a couple of times where multi offers were in play. When the chosen offer fell over, the second buyer would be negotiated with and the offer was always higher than the original showing the work being done behind the scenes.

Rachel's empathy and knowledge made an emotional journey so much less stressful than I expected.

Rachel's empathy and knowledge made an emotional journey so much less stressful than I expected.

From the first meeting Rachel made me feel comfortable with the whole process of selling my Parent's house. Her knowledge of the market, her compassion and understanding of my situation put me at ease early on in the process. From the start of the process, the marketing, photo sessions and right through to the auction, where they worked hard to get me a good result, Rachel and Mark were there every step of the way, guiding me yet making sure I felt in charge. Their advice was invaluable, the way they looked out for my indoor cat during open homes and viewings gave me so much piece of mind. I am so happy I followed my instincts and went with Rachel and Mark from Barfoot & Thompson and highly recommend this team. I feel they went above and beyond for me as they also helped me secure a rental property once the house sold. I would definitely recommend and would engage again given the opportunity

Rachel was EXCELLENT!

Rachel helped us getting our first home and she was a dream to deal with. We couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the outset, Rachel was super professional. She was always available to answer questions, offer advice, and guide me through each stage—from viewings to negotiations and finally completion. Their attention to detail and commitment to excellent customer service made the entire experience stress-free. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to buy or sell property.
