Honest and Professional Throughout

We had a really good experience working with Scott to sell our first home. As first-time sellers, there was a lot we didn’t know about the process, but Scott was always approachable and happy to answer questions, even when we weren’t sure if they were silly questions. His communication was generally prompt, professional and detailed, and after each open home he would keep us updated with numbers through the door and feedback from buyers. The market was challenging and the negotiation process wasn’t always easy, but Scott remained professional and honest throughout. We never felt pressured into accepting an offer and appreciated that he was upfront with us. We were also very impressed with the wider team. Everyone we dealt with was easy to work with and the whole campaign ran smoothly. Scott was very upfront about advertising costs and what he felt was worthwhile, and his recommendation for our home staging worked out really well. Overall, we found Scott professional, honest and easy to deal with. Selling a house for the first time can be a pretty daunting process, but we always felt we could contact him when we needed to. We’d be happy to use Scott again in the future.

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.

Professional , great communicator, made you feel extremely confident and showed great enthusiasm.

Scott has an excellent name in the real estate industry. His communication skills are so professional and yet friendly .We were so grateful as a family , who had previously sold our daughters home and we were delighted to have Scott and his team market and encourage the sale of our property. His open homes and especially his twilight open home which proved to be so successful in obtaining the sale of our home. We would happily recommend Scott to any future sellers with total confidence.
