Agencies in Welcome Bay, Bay of Plenty

We had a great experience working with Sandra during the purchase of our new home. Sandra was very approachable throughout the process. We really appreciated her communication and professionalism and would happily recommend Sandra to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.

Sandra is tenacious in the best possible way - “never give up” is her motto, and she lived that throughout our whole campaign. We chose to list with Powers Realty because Sandra talked to us about what was best for the house and best for us - not just what was easiest for her as an agent - and because the marketing was incredible. It was considered, high-end, and highly visible, and it gave our property the best possible chance in a tricky market. We loved working with Sandra and her team, who made us feel like we were part of the team, too. Communication was excellent, the marketing reports were amazing, and we always knew what was happening and what came next. We really valued Sandra’s energy, clarity, and persistence, and would happily recommend her.

Colin & Justine were both great agents. They are both very professional but also very understanding, friendly and approachable. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Julie was friendly, helpful, and made every step as easy as possible. Nothing was an issue, and her personable and prompt response to any query was much appreciated. Would highly recommend.

a casual conservation with a friend lead to meeting Shelley to discuss retirement and future proofing ourselves. Shelley led us professionally through a marketing programme, helped us determine which were the important things to attend to on our property in readiness for going to the market and introducing us to professionals who could expedite that process. Shelley has amazing communication skills, market knowledge, and a never give up attitude,,,we have got this appeared to be her motto. You are a shining star Shelley, we can’t thank you enough.

We couldn't be happier! In under 6 months, Julie and Shelley from Barfoot & Thompson sold our apartment at Mount Royale in Mount Maunganui. These two ladies are absolute stars. They put so much energy into marketing our place, came up with clever strategies to get people through the door, and their open homes were always spot-on. They also gave us really practical, honest advice on how to make the apartment look its best — and it made such a difference. Selling your own home is super stressful, especially when you're also trying to find somewhere new to live. But Julie and Shelley were just amazing — so empathetic, patient, positive and always there when we needed them. Nothing was ever too much trouble. We always felt we were in the best hands. If you want agents who genuinely care, who will go the extra mile and who know exactly what they're doing, we can't recommend Julie and Shelley highly enough. Thank you both so much! Elizabeth, Matthew, Miklos and Alessandra.
