Scott and the team presented an outstanding sales campaign.

Scott and the team presented an outstanding sales campaign.

We recently listed our property with Scott McElhinney and team with Barfoot & Thompson - Pukekohe for an auction campaign. Scott and the team presented an outstanding campaign. Scott himself was professional in all aspects of the promotion. His straight forward communication and presentation was simply the best. He was positive all the way and said "there is a buyer out there - we will make it work" He was right - we sold at auction. My wife and I have been around dealing with property over a number of years. This was the best experience we have had with a real estate firm and agents ever. Thanks Scott and the team Barfoot & Thompson - Pukekohe

Excellent Teamwork!

Excellent Teamwork!

We couldn’t be happier with the service from Scott and Simone. From the very beginning, they were professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to getting the best outcome that they could, for us. They guided us through every step of the process with confidence and clear communication. Their marketing strategy, attention to detail, helped us achieve a good result on the sale of our home. Beyond their expertise, Scott and Simone were approachable, honest, and always available to answer questions or offer reassurance when needed. We truly felt they cared about us and our goals, not just the sale itself. We’re incredibly grateful for their hard work and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Professional, Supportive and Excellent Communication Throughout the Entire Process

Scott and his team were all very professional and fantastic to work with from start to finish. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process — they kept us regularly updated and were always very prompt in responding to any questions we had. We really appreciated the great system they had set up for communication between the group, which made everything feel organised and seamless. Scott was also very helpful with advice on how best to present our home and offered additional contacts and services if we wished to use them, which was a great support. The team was reassuring throughout what can sometimes be a stressful process. They were always polite, approachable, and professional. Scott also negotiated very well with potential buyers and we felt confident we were in good hands the whole time. We would happily recommend Scott and his team to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and supportive real estate agent.
