Simon was excellent to deal with. He was proactive and great at following up, always confirming what we discussed in writing with thorough notes. Friendly and easy to talk to, he was upfront about things to be aware of rather than just trying to sell, which built real trust. He is also a great source of local knowledge and contacts, worked through every point to get to an outcome, and was generous with his time throughout. Highly recommended.

Our sale was not the most simple. Simon went the extra mile to get it over the line which was great! Good communication and reliable. Professional but friendly. Highly recommend.

Simon was responsive, professional with a clear and upbeat communication style. Simon was very easy to work with, he knows his market and ultimately got the deal done for both parties.

Simon excelled in all parts of the contract to sell my property.

Initially Simon told us that our house will be difficult to sell because of the monolithic cladding and that to ease the minds of prospective buyers a property report would be a good idea. Unfortunately the report was not good and created a real impediment to a sale . However he did not give up trying and his perseverance and experience came to the for and a sale was achieved even if below our expectations. I give him full marks for his efforts

We had a fantastic experience with Simon Hart from Barfoot & Thompson Kerikeri when purchasing our property at 24A Hone Heke Road. Simon was professional, friendly, approachable and very helpful throughout the whole process. He kept us informed, answered all our questions, and made the purchase process smooth and stress-free. We really appreciated Simon’s honesty, communication and excellent service. We would happily recommend Simon to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. Thank you, Simon, for all your hard work and support. We are very happy with our new property! Highly recommended.

We really enjoyed working with Simon on the purchase of our home in Kerikeri. Although Simon was representing the vendor, he took the time to understand what we were looking for and was extremely helpful throughout the process. His local knowledge was especially valuable to us as newcomers to the area, and he helped us get a much better feel for Kerikeri and the surrounding area as we considered different homes. Simon was always responsive, friendly and professional, and made the whole process straightforward. As we were overseas for some of the transaction, we had to manage a lot remotely. Simon went out of his way to keep things moving, liaising with the vendor and coordinating with everyone involved through to settlement. His communication was excellent and nothing ever seemed to be too much trouble. We very much appreciated his help and practical approach, and would happily recommend Simon to anyone buying or selling property in the Kerikeri area.

Simon knows the Kerikeri market very well. He kept things real for us from the get go! Right from the questions Simon asked us about the house when we first met ‘what did we love about the house’ was a perfect question. He got to know us as well as the house. Simon’s selling estimate was on point. His marketing documentation provided us good insights and we knew exactly what fees and costs were involved. There was any ‘overcooking the estimate’ and we felt even though it was a flat market and lows sales time of year he gave us the confidence that it would sell. He was considerate and really took his time to support us as we were navigating a deceased estate. Simon was respectful and kind as we had a tricky estate to manage. There was great communication, and timely updates as we were on the sales process. I throughly recommend working with Simon as he provided us with knowledge, insights, guidance and advice.

The whole process was very smooth from initial viewing over price negotiation and information about seller's response to the final viewing ahead of settlement, which we very much appreciated.

We had a great experience with Simon. We appreciated his professionalism and he obviously has a deep understanding of the Kerikeri market. We found him very personable and a pleasure to deal with. His communication was always responsive and he provided valuable advice during negotiations. Our house was sold within a week as he had a number potential buyers ready to view the property. We highly recommend him to others looking for an agent.

He set a good price and then helped us to achieve it. Marketing was effective. In a slow market he got buyers to the property. Simon listened to what we wanted and offered good advice.

Only having to view one property & purchasing that I’m really not that qualified in expressing his knowledge of anything else apart from the fact it all worked for us with relative ease.
