We had a fantastic experience working with Joanna. She is incredibly warm, personable, and approachable, and made what could have been a stressful process feel easy and seamless. She was always available to answer our questions and kept us well-informed every step of the way. Her communication and genuine care really stood out. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to others.
Ryan was a pleasure to work with, always professional and showed a high level of care for us as buyers. Ryan is a strong communicator and was always available when needed, nothing is too much trouble for Ryan - he goes above and beyond to get the deal done. I highly recommend Ryan and think he is one of the best agents in Kerikeri.
Sarah has been extremely professional throughout the sale process. She has also mentored and guided Suzy extremely well and they worked well jointly together to sell our home. I have listed another property of mine with Sarah (and Suzy) and I would highly recommend Sarah as an agent for anyone who is considering selling 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.

We had a fantastic experience working with Ryan. From the very beginning, he was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping us sell our home. We would definitely recommend him to anyone selling their property.
We found Ryan to be a pleasant, amiable, and patient agent with a sympathetic understanding of our situation. Due to circumstances beyond anyone’s control, parts of the selling process were frustrating and difficult to endure. However, with Ryan’s reassurance, guidance, and persistence, we managed to finalise a deal at a point when we were close to giving up. With a little more attention to detail, particularly in reviewing past correspondence and highlighting the property’s extra features to potential buyers, we’re confident Ryan will develop into a fantastic agent.
Ryan was fantastic to deal with when we bought our new place. He was always easy to get hold of, super helpful, and made the whole process not just less stressful, but actually enjoyable. He went above and beyond with his advice when I was selling my own house privately, which I really appreciated. Even after the sale went through, he was still willing to help out and answer questions. Couldn’t recommend him more!
From start to finish Sarah made our selling experience stress free. We sold in a very slow market, but this didn’t stop Sarah’s dedication and determination. Her communication was faultless, keeping us constantly up to date and providing feedback. We would absolutely use Sarah again and are very happy to recommend her to anyone considering selling.
We found Yvette to be highly professional, yet also very approachable and friendly. Throughout our 18-month search for a home, she was the only agent who genuinely took the time to understand what we were looking for. Unlike others who relied on generic monthly emails, Yvette kept in regular, personal contact — even picking up the phone when a property came up that matched our criteria. She also demonstrated great respect for both us as buyers and her client, the vendor, always balancing both parties’ interests with professionalism. There were a few agents we dealt with who made comments that, had we been the vendor, we wouldn’t have appreciated — but Yvette was never anything but respectful and considerate. Her knowledge of the property, the house itself, and the surrounding area was incredibly helpful and gave us confidence in our decision-making process. We really appreciated her support and would not hesitate to recommend her.
