From the moment we contacted Simon we felt confident that the house sale would be handled properly. All the support and advice that was given was much apprechiated and our house sold within a fairly short time. All the details were handled well. We highly reccomend Simon Hart and Barfoot and Thompson.
Simon recognized that selling our house was a huge decision for us., We had built the house and been in it for 21years. We were attached. :) However, due to illness we needed to downsize. Simon was realistic with hoe the current market was. He helped guide us with selling options. He continually kept us informed and, in the end, when the house did sell, we felt we received a very good outcome. (For both us and the purchases)
We had a great experience working with Simon and Gillian. Communication was excellent throughout the process, and we always felt well informed. Their experience and strong knowledge of the Kerikeri market were clear, and their connections within the local community were invaluable. They also helped us navigate a slower market by providing honest advice and setting realistic expectations, which we really appreciated. We felt confident we were in capable hands and would happily recommend them. Thanks you two 💕
Simon is a great communicator. He is professional, transparent, very industry knowledgeable, 100% totally reliable & one who also provided continual timely progress updates. Additionally Simon was adept at providing relevant additional information as it may arise & or as required while been able to demonstrate a friendly welcoming & approachable manner at all times. We felt 100% confident & comfortable from the initial agency presentation, during & through & to final handover to the purchasers. His assistance to us as vendors in providing advice, guidance & direction with varying aspects of marketing, presentation, open homes etc. was most appreciated but importantly highly valued & effective. Over all we could not have been happier with the complete process from start to finish. All procedural & process aspects inclusive of pricing & negotiation were carried out with motivated professionalism, efficiency, transparency, genuine integrity & follow through. Thank you Simon to you & your team for a wonderful experience, an enjoyable experience that exceeded our expectations
Simon's communication was excellent he kept us informed and gave honest feedback. We had absolute trust in him as our agent. We would totally recommend to others.
Simon was an exceptional real estate agent to work with when selling our property in Kerikeri. From the very beginning, he was open, honest, and transparent, which gave us real confidence throughout the entire process. His communication was outstanding—whenever we had questions or concerns, Simon responded quickly, respectfully, and with genuine care. He made us feel supported at every stage and was always welcoming and approachable. What really stood out was how clear it was that Simon was working in our best interests as vendors. He consistently went above and beyond to achieve the best possible outcome for us. He also kept us well informed with regular insights into the market and comparable local sales, which helped us feel in tune with what was happening and confident in our decisions. When choosing an agent, it’s so important to find someone who truly listens, respects your ideas, and makes you feel heard and understood—and Simon absolutely delivers on all fronts. He is someone you can trust to be firmly in your corner. I would happily recommend Simon to anyone looking to sell or buy, and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again in the future.
Selling an orchard was never going to be straight forward, but working with Simon made the process not only manageable but genuinely successful. This was a unique property and Simon went above and beyond to ensure we achieved the best possible outcome. We couldn’t be more grateful for the effort put in, and we wholeheartedly recommend Simon to anyone looking to sell their property.
From the first phone call to engage Barfoot & Thompson for an appraisal of our property, Simon & Gillian displayed great enthusiasm to help us towards our end goal. We had a bare 10 acre lot which they appraised for us. We were impressed at their confidence suggesting we could achieve a better result than expected in the current market. From the moment we entered in a Contract with B & T, we were never disappointed. Their level of communication and professionalism throughout was excellent. Well done Simon & Gillian, thanks for helping us achieve a great win.
I found that selling my house that I had done so much work on and that I loved to be an emotional and slightly stressful process. Simon made this process simple from start to finish and then beyond. From his knowledge of the current market to his excellent communication throughout. I always felt that I had his support and empathy for the emotional journey that I was going through. I truely felt that he was working for me as a vendor and that he had my best interests at heart. The honest advice and total professionalism at all times was much appreciated and I would not hesitate to recommend Simon Hart to anybody who was considering putting their property on the market
Simon was fantastic to work with! He made the whole process of selling our house in Keri easy and stress free. Always professional quick to answer any questions we had. He & Gillian were amazing we couldn’t have asked for a better team!
Simon accomodated us in evet way to help make the process of our purchase so easy. He went out of his way on a number of issues that arose and helped fixed or change them for the best. He is professional and considerate and we highly recommend him, along with his business partner Gillian.
Simon was excellent to deal with, not only regarding the distance from my base in Auckland and the house in the far north, but also in the way he handled our family, given that it was an Estate sale, which is always challenging, regardless of the circumstances.
