Seller of 8A Domain St, Waiuku
I recently sold my property at 8A Domain Street, Waiuku, through Paul Gardiner of Barfoot & Thompson Waiuku, and I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the excellent service Paul provided throughout the entire process. What made this sale particularly challenging was that I was living in Australia while the property was being sold in New Zealand. I therefore needed an agent I could trust to be my eyes and ears on the ground, communicate clearly and deal promptly with issues as they arose. Paul did exactly that. From preparing and marketing the property, conducting open homes and dealing with prospective purchasers, through to negotiating the successful sale, Paul was professional, approachable and extremely helpful. He kept me informed throughout and provided practical advice without unnecessary pressure. Paul's assistance became even more valuable once we had a purchaser and moved through the conditional and pre-settlement stages. Various matters arose from inspections and needed to be resolved while I was coordinating everything remotely. Paul helped keep communication flowing and the transaction moving towards settlement. The property successfully settled on 4 September 2026. After owning the home for many years, this was an important milestone for my family. Selling a property from another country could have been stressful, but Paul's local knowledge, communication and professionalism made a tremendous difference. Thank you, Paul, for your hard work, patience and support. I would happily recommend Paul Gardiner to anyone buying or selling property in Waiuku and the wider Franklin area.

Paul helped me and my fiance buy our first home. He was incredibly knowledgable, polite, understanding and made sure we really understood the process. He made sure we got the home we were looking for and not once did he make us feel pressured into something that we did not want or need. We truly appreciate the effort he went to in our home buying journey. Would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell.

We had a bad experience with another estate agency and had decided to pull our property from the market; it was stressful and expensive. We met Paul and after talking with him about our goals and expectations, decided to give it another shot. We were nervous but Paul's professional conduct, wealth of experience and practical yet warm approach, gave us the confidence that we could complete this sale profitably. Paul was a fantastically clear and effective communicator throughout the transaction. He was honest and realistic regarding our expectations, and taught us enough about the real-estate process to empower us to make educated decisions regarding our strategy. He kept us informed at every significant event, consistently discussing and re-evaluating, ensuring that we remained comfortable, aware and in control of the process. In the end, Paul found us more than one buyer, and helped us to work through negotiations to the mutual benefit of both parties. The sale and hand-over process went smoothly and to the timeline which Paul had laid out, with very little deviation from our expectations. We have since moved to Australia, and when we looked at purchasing a property here, the trust gained through that transaction prompted us to make contact with Paul to ask his opinion about the property. He went on to offer us good, honest and effective advice, which secured us the purchase amidst stiff competition. We've now made a significant step forward in our accumulation of wealth; we would not have attempted this, had Paul not stepped in to recover our loss of confidence in the real estate industry. Barfoot and Thompson as a brand, and the real-estate industry as a whole, should consider Paul a significant asset to its ranks. Any seller in Paul's area who is considering marketing their property would do well to offer Paul the opportunity to present a sales strategy; you will not be disappointed in the service he can deliver.

It was a great experience we have had with Deborah. The communication, honestly, and willingness to help me out with my purchase the property. She really made our buying experience so wonderful. Very grateful to her and I highly recommended Thank You
Seller of 88B Creamery Road, Pollok
Deborah explained who had been to the property, why they found the property not for them, why they found the property would suit their venture, funding issues, home to sell each open home. Work around our "issues" aiding in every way possible and supporting me, especially, as the one having to work through everything when I had never done anything like it before having been in the house for 50 years. We managed to work with each other well and I would now be proud to call you a friend and not just the land agent that sold our house and let us start a new future that only a few months earlier had never been on the horizon. Thank you Deborah.
