All round experience as seller outstanding

Sam communicated directly by phone when immeadiate responses required and regular informative, supportive messaging in the Barfoots sales group chat. As I live overseas he was always mindful of the time difference when keeping me uptodate as the sale process unfolded. With his and the rest of the Barfoots team level of market knowledge, financial climate and the individual responses of house viewers I always felt I had the best team working on my behalf. His and the teams behind the scenes work and efforts have been outstanding. Selling a property that you have owned for a number of years is a stressful and an emotional experience. Sam and the rest of the Barfoots team made the sale process less so. I highly recommend Sam as an agent and the Meadowbank Barfoots team.

Overall experience

Sam was my choice of agent because he knew the area and was easy to deal with, we put a plan together and though out the process he continued to communicate, offered alternative options but we stuck to our plan and we sold at auction.

Straight up and honest

Having dealt with numerous agents in the past. We find Sam to be exceptional to the rest. He's consistent with his communication and doesn't sugar coat the situation. He's straight up with all parties and gets the job done.

We cannot speak highly enough of Sam. We were selling multiple units in the most challenging market condition. There were low turnouts at open homes but yet Sam managed to convert these into successful sales. Thank you, Sam!

Sam was the natural choice when it came time to sell our house. Over the years, we’d seen him successfully sell many homes in our area, and his local expertise and calm approach were exactly what we needed during a stressful period. After our tenants left unexpectedly the day before Christmas, we faced renovations over the holidays and the tough decision of whether to keep or sell the property. Sam provided invaluable guidance, equipping us with the information we needed to make confident decisions every step of the way. Despite a challenging market, Sam skilfully managed all interested buyers on our behalf and secured the price we wanted. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sam to anyone looking for a dedicated and effective real estate agent.

Sam Bowen was great with our property, when the auction didn't work out he gave us advice on how to proceed and was able to secure us exactly what we were after with our sale.

Trustworthy & Knowledgeable

We first purchased a house through Sam and then we asked him to sell our house a number of years later. We find Sam to be upfront, honest and knowledgeable throughout the whole process as well as being affable and approachable. He always says it how it is without trying to over-inflate expectations. We trusted Sam and he didn't disappoint! He will certainly be our 'go-to' agent for all our future housing needs in Auckland. Trust is a huge thing in our book, so thanks Sam, for all your efforts and for the quick sale in a tough market!!

We have used Sam to sell our first little family home and he was exceptional to deal with. From the first meeting we felt listened to, that our opinions and preferences were valid, and he very clearly communicated with us every step of the way. Sam has made the whole process very stress-free and I would highly recommend him and the wider Barfoot team.

Good knowledge and outcome

As per my last review, I sold two homes through Sam. He was very helpful, always answering my questions about what was best for my properties and making sure I knew exactly where my houses sat in relation to other homes in the area. I was happy with his service and the outcome I got. Thank you Sam.

Creative thinking leads to positive results

Sam is a true professional, with excellent communication, deep knowledge of the local area and current market conditions. Sam is down to earth and took the time to really understand our unique situation, asked lots of questions, educated us along the way and made sure we were well informed before starting the selling process. With the current market/economy being the way that it is - Sam was creative and pragmatic in his approach, always making sure we were on board, and keeping our goals and desired outcome in mind. We are happy with the outcome and would highly recommend Sam's services to anyone else selling their home - cheers Sam!
