About Ray

Kia ora everyone! I’m thrilled to join Team Steenberg at Barfoot & Thompson Millwater. My goal is to make the buying and selling process as smooth, straightforward and stress-free as possible for my clients. I moved to New Zealand in 2011 and am fluent in both English and Mandarin, allowing me to connect with and support clients from a wide range of backgrounds. Whether you’re buying or selling, I take a personalised, step-by-step approach to understand your needs and help you achieve your property goals. Outside of work, I enjoy cycling at the gym, which helps me stay active, energised and focused. It’s also a great way to clear my mind and recharge. For me, there’s no greater compliment than having a client place their trust in me. I look forward to building that trust through every step of the process and giving my clients the support and service they deserve. If you’re thinking about buying or selling, feel free to get in touch. Contact me today at 027 758 0888 - Ray at Barfoot & Thompson Millwater.

Buying or selling, we highly recommend Ray Lei.

Ray has excellent communication skills and always keeps us updated throughout the process. He is responsive, professional and goes the extra mile to arrange viewings. During negotiations, Ray is persistent and works hard to achieve the best possible result for us, while also keeping both parties engaged and motivated. If you are looking for a salesperson who is dedicated, professional and genuinely committed to getting the job done, we would highly recommend Ray Lei. Monica & Jack

I just genuinely want to recommend Ray Lei.

I just genuinely want to recommend Ray Lei. He’s not an well known agent and we were complete strangers at first—I just happened to meet him while viewing a property. Thanks to him, both my sale and purchase went through smoothly. As someone who’s picky, intolerant of incompetence, and occasionally impatient, I can honestly say Ray is flawless in my eyes. If more people in work and life were like him, dealing with others would be a lot less painful. 1. Proactive mindset: Whenever something is unclear or needs confirmation, he takes the initiative to check, investigate, and verify—never waits for me to chase, and never pushes things back onto me. I really appreciate this, especially considering the money I paid. He would literally chase potential buyers down the street, just like how proactive he was when he first called to ask if I wanted to list with him. 2. Sharp, logical, and professional: He explains things clearly and concisely—in plain language you can actually understand. Every key milestone is planned and communicated in advance. 3. Responsive and reliable: Always replies, always answers. When dealing with other professionals, I’ve often been stressed out when they disappear for days—especially at critical moments. Ray never disappears. In fact, if he hasn’t replied, I know he’s actively confirming something. That’s why I never feel the need to chase him—I trust him. 4. Great personality: Patient, friendly, and positive. Who wouldn’t want to work with someone like that? 5. Truly on your side: He always considers things from your perspective and helps you save money—whether you’re selling or buying. 6. Anything else? I’ll leave that for his next client to add 🙂
