Excellent result, awesome agent to work with. Karen worked side-by-side with us to get the house ready for market. She spent a lot of time helping clean, tidy and stage the house for the photos and open homes. Karen offered expert advice on the marketing options and sale process. Karen goes beyond what you would expect from a real estate agent to ensure the process is seamless and stress-free. We would happily engage Karen again to help us buy or sell another property.

Really profession. Both Andy and Steve's professionalism is evident in their preparation and help in communicating with buyers at the end of the process. The home selling experience was excellent.

Andy's skills, experience and hustle achieved top result for our family home. We are repeat customers of Andy Ling and we couldn't recommend him enough. The high level of professionalism, hustle, strong commination and dedication to the sale of our life long family home was nothing short of exceptional. Andy's experience in the market and knowledge with the auction process and organising buyers to get them ready for a quick turn around auction allowed the team at Barfoots to run a perfect campaign and reach an unbelievable price for our home.
Andy's skills exceeded our expectation yet again and we couldn't be happier with the result.
We would not hesitate to recommend Andy to anyone, for any property in any market.

Thank you, Andy, for making my home buying journey a truly enjoyable and rewarding experience. Your exceptional service has left a lasting impression, and I am forever grateful.

Great result in a difficult market. Karen did a fantastic job and went well above and beyond what we had expected. Karen assisted with suggesting and organising minor work to be completed to ensure the property was presented and showcast in its best light. Karen's communication was great and 'we were kept well informed of potential buyer feedback allowing us to make quick decisions to adjust our campaign as required. Most importantly Karen's hard work secured us an unconditional buyer within just a few weeks of the campaign commencing which was a great result with many other properties going unsold. We would definitely sell through Karen again should the opportunity arise.

A huge thank you to an a kind, considerate, hard working agent who achieved a great result

Rachel Redhead is an absolute star. Caring and calm she helped me get through a difficult time selling my dad’s apartments. Very professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommend Rachel.

Exceptional Real Estate Agent! We recently had a privilege to work with Andy to sell our house in Bayview. Andy has a great knowledge of the local real estate market. Communication was easy, Andy was very responsive, provided us with regular updates, kept us informed at every step of the process. Andy demonstrated excellent negotiation skills so we could get the best results (the price and the settlement date).
Andy also has a wide range of connection, including photographers, solicitors, lawn mowers etc. We used the services of the professionals he recommended and this helped us saved time and money.
We are grateful to Andy for his dedication and expertise and can recommend him to anyone in need of a real estate agent!

All the best to you in the future, Andy!

Highly recommend Lili to everyone
A big thank you to Lili Ma, she did a fantastic job - quick, efficient and very professional. Lili put our needs before everything and always kept us in the loop. She was very responsive and hardworking and sometimes we received emails or messages from her in the very early morning or late night. She paid attention to the details and communicated with vendor and listing saleperson effectively, which made our whole home purchasing process as smooth as possible.

Overall, we are satisfied and feel confident with our investment. Highly recommended.

Grace & Steven

First͏ time sellers
We had the pleasure of Kinbou as our real estate agent. We choose Kinbou on his history, knowledge and experience within our suburb we were selling in. He was very easy to deal with. We were first time sellers and he took the lead without pressure and made the overall experience stress-free. His communication and passion for what he does was brilliant and put us at ease. We had a great outcome and would highly recommend Kinbou.

Stress͏ less!

Rachel was so easy to work with and very accommodating within her schedule to work with us! We definitely had a lot on the tick list and she Not only found us a house we call a home in less then three months but it had all our requirements, even had some of our dream ticks! She was so easy to work with and very honest with her thoughts!?

Excellent͏ Agent,
Sukh really delivered for us. He secured 5 offers for us at once, in a very uncertain market, we sold and we're really pleased with the outcome. Very professional, he gave us a lot of good advice. We're really glad we went with him.

Lili has been amazing since day one. From sending us home listings in the market to house viewings and securing our dream home. She always go extra mile. As first home buyers who does not know much about the process of buying a house, we were very lucky to have a knowlegable agent. We felt how responsible person she is. Lily always makes herself available and ready to go just to help her clients. She responds fast and easy to approach. A 5 out of 5 rating from us!

MISPLACED TRUST?: We’ve re-housed several times through the decades, and whenever dealing with Barfoot & Thompson, have been impressed with their people and their professionalism. But not so on this occasion, purchasing a property with them early December 2020, when the Auckland Real Estate market was at its most hysterical.
Repeatedly gazumped at frenzied auctions, the ‘extended settlement’ time from our sale had run out, and we needed a home
So a re-visit to a property which had been ‘passed in’ at auction 3 months beforehand, & was now being marketed ‘by negotiation’. Impressed by an engaging agent (Lars Kuo) and a reputable Company (Barfoot & Thompson/Glenfield) we decided that, despite the house having several evident short-comings, to submit an offer … which was accepted.
HOWEVER, three weeks after occupancy, we had the first heavy rain in many weeks, and experienced water cascading into the lounge via a leaking landscape window, and bucketing through electrical light fittings in the soffit at both back and front doors.transpires that the (internal) guttering system is a rotting hulk ‘the worst I’ve seen in 47 years’ to quote Harvey Taylor (Taylor Fascia & Spouting) ’
We now know that Internal Guttering shares the same stigma as Plaster Cladding.a red flag to those au fait with housing/houses, but amazingly neither vendor nor agency knew of this!
The vendors had signed a disclaimer with Barfoots declaring the property water-tight ‘no known issues’ which has proven to be fabrication, (they’d been advised by long-suffering tenants)
We presented damning video footage of the flooding to Barfoot & Thompson, citing we’d been sold a house ‘unfit for purpose’ and the response from Dan Manford, Branch Manager, Barfoot & Thompson Glenfield.
‘Whilst we acknowledge that this is a difficult situation, and apologise for any inconvenience caused, ultimately Barfoot & Thompson did not and could not have known about this issue before facilitating the sale and therefore cannot be responsible’
We have been cast adrift.saddled with a pending bill in excess of $10k to replace the tragic guttering, and contractors so busy remedying these guttering abominations, that they can’t help us until November 2021.we entrusted ourselves to an agent who seemed credible, and an agency of excellent repute.to say that ‘Barfoot & Thompson did not and could not have known about this issue’. Just doesn’t cut the mustard.an office with those decades of experience, SHOULD have known about this red-flag issue, and advised accordingly.
Peculiar.had we bought a regular ‘product’ & it proved unfit for purpose, under the Consumer Guarantees Act, a refund/replacement would be forthcoming.but here’s a $1M purchase, and Real Estate Agencies have immunity.what’s that all about?

UPDATE. 7th June 2022.10 months since I posted the above and I’d like to expand. The vendors, (Kai Feng & Ying-Wei Shen) who had owned the address for several years (as a rental/investment property) had signed a disclaimer when listing with Barfoots, that there were no water penetration issues.now known to be a blatant untruth, confirmed by a previous tenant who ‘had towels down by the window throughout the whole of Winter.we had a lot of issues with water’ He had advised the owners who ‘had some rough handyman come in, and all he did was silicone the glass’
Within weeks of my original draft, I had the misfortune to be admitted to Hospital for surgery, and was ‘side-lined’ for many months, completely derailing efforts to contest this travesty. Despite denials, we firmly believe we’ve been the victims of deception.btw.guttering now replaced with an external spouting system (at a cost of $10,568.50). We are servicing the required loan.
THANKS A BUNCH BARFOOT & THOMPSON GLENFIELD!

Joey just joined the rental property team 1 month ago, but he has already shown his can-do attitude and expertise on our rental property. I would say Joey provides the A plus service to both tenants and landlords. He always proactively contact me regarding any issues.

Kinbou at B&T - very proactive agent, very helpful and knows his craft well.
Kinbou helped us to identify what was holding our property back, and worked with us and some trades to get the property ready very quickly, and in a very short time we were able to get on the market. Kinbou worked hard to get us some great offers in a turbulent market, and had really good communication letting us know what was happening in the open homes, and in the wider market. I do think that he was instrumental in achieving a good result.

I would recommend Andre Volkov as he kept me fully informed, gave valuable advice and helped to achieve the best price for my property.

Flexible and easy to deal with.
Worked with Andy since a year and he is amazing. Clear instructions and easy to communicate. And also providing advises and suggestions when needed based on his experiences.
Highly recommended.
