Selling in the Heart of...

For over 20 years, Andrew and Cathy have worked hard to build their career as the successful sales team they are today. Specializing in Remuera, Parnell, Epsom and surrounding suburbs their aim has always been to obtain the best result for the Vendor. This principle has stood them in good stead through all their real estate dealings.

Prior to real estate, Andrew enjoyed film production for advertising and had his own company ‘McAlpine Productions Ltd’. His background has enabled him to appreciate effective skills including photography and advertising.

To add that female dimension Andrew is joined by his wife Cathy. They do work well together and are comfortable and knowledgeable in all price ranges and have enjoyed much success working with the Barfoot & Thompson Auction and Tender Marketing Department.

Behind the happy smile is an experienced negotiator you can trust to be working on your behalf. They get tremendous additional support for their listings from colleagues and even salespeople from outlying offices are encouraged to introduce buyers as Barfoot & Thompson is a non franchised agency. As we deal with many different cultures across Auckland, this factor can be a huge advantage when selling your home.

Living in central Remuera, nearly all their lives, they particularly enjoy the Village atmosphere and friendliness of the people. Cathy has been involved in the community with children’s cricket and sports teams. Outside of real estate, Andrew and Cathy enjoy spending time with their three adult sons; James, David and Andrew.

Andrew and Cathy come highly recommended and together they form a highly successful selling partnership. If you are looking for a team of professional and experienced salespeople who know the area well, contact Andrew or Cathy to market your home.

A full and recent track record of their sales is available and ranges from family homes to townhouses to apartments.

Awards: NZ Herald Display Advertising Awards - Highly Commended. (2004)

"We were recommended to contact Andrew and Cathy McAlpine by a previous customer who was also a friend who had marketed their property through Andrew and Cathy McAlpine. So this was a word-of-mouth recommendation. We wanted an agent who we recognized knew the Remuera real estate marketplace well, had been successful and had successfully satisfied their client needs. We were also adamant that we did not want to select an agent who we knew or were friends with so that we could deal frankly and clearly with our agent.

We were not disappointed. Andrew and Cathy were very professional in determining our needs and initially marketed our property, as we wished, in a low-key campaign for a limited duration. This campaign did produce results but the offers were not forthcoming on our target price.

After the completion of the low-key marketing campaign we decided to test the marketplace properly by going to Auction with Barfoots. This exposed us to a larger number of prospective clients and produced the results that we had hoped for…a sale.

At all times during the marketing Andrew and Cathy kept us informed of the exposure our property was getting and conducted our property viewing very professionally. They expressed an empathy with our needs and managed to successfully pass our property to a new owner who loved our old villa as much as we did.

I would have little hesitation in recommending both Andrew and Cathy McAlpine to any prospective seller of property in the larger Auckland Marketplace because I know that they will get the results they are seeking."
