No. 1 salesperson for Barfoot & Thompson Warkworth - year ending 31st March 2009 & 2011

Prior to embarking on my career in real estate, I spent 12 years sailing world wide as a Captain on Super Yachts and previously ran my own company. In both my business and work as a Captain, I found good communication skills to be an essential asset, as it also is in real estate.

With my wealth of knowledge and success in real estate I am able to provide a 100% dedicated service to my clients, from listening and understanding their requirements to building a marketing strategy best suited to maximise the property’s potential.

I have supervised the construction of my own home in Algies Bay and conversant with the local by-laws for the Rodney District, also trade qualified.

My wife and I looked far and wide before we chose to settle here and I am very passionate about the area.

I have chosen to work with Barfoot & Thompson because of their long standing emphasis on honesty and integrity. Barfoot & Thompson is Auckland & Northland’s largest Real Estate Company selling more than one in three homes in the area. Not being franchised this means your property is instantly available to more than 1000 agents able to achieve the best possible results for you along with the lowest fee structure of all major companies.”

If you or friends are thinking of selling or would simply like confidential real estate advice, I will be pleased to be of service.

Continued good luck for the future Bruce and keep up the Top Sales position, you deserve it!”

“My parents, Lewis and Shirley Prentice, built their retirement home at 42 Will James Avenue, Algies Bay in the 1970’s. It was a major family upheaval when the decision was made that they could no longer manage the property and bought into a retirement village closer to the family.

Bruce managed this delicate situation with empathy and professionalism. He also went beyond what was expected of him – putting up signs for the family garage sales, assisting in the sale of the boat tractor, and generally being on call to assist wherever he was able. He pitched in like one of the family which was appreciated as none of the family lived close by.

We would happily recommend Bruce to any other vendor in the Warkworth coastal area.”

“Bruce successfully sold one of our lifestyle properties – this had to be negotiated by the internet – emailing photos and many details to people living in the UK - both ourselves and the purchasers were happy with the outcome. We are just completing another sale on another of our lifestyle blocks and once more, both ourselves and the purchasers are very happy with the outcome. Bruce’s dedication to getting results and his professional and relaxed manner, make it a less stressful time for both seller and purchaser.”
Bev & John Scott

“We have worked with Bruce on two occasions with purchasing properties at Algies Bay. We have found Bruce to be very professional, experienced, honest & reliable, and have no hesitation in recommending to anyone considering purchasing or selling residential property, particularly in the Rodney District.”

“When the time came to sell my property of 25 years I chose Bruce Goodhue based on his excellent reputation. I found Bruce to be very prompt in responding to requests and phone calls and the property sold very quickly.

As I was unable to drive at the time I wanted to purchase, Bruce kindly chauffeured me around and introduced me to my present property.

I recommend Bruce to any buyer or seller as being efficient and considerate.”
Judy Hill

“I could not have wished for a more helpful and efficient agent than Bruce Goodhue. He went way beyond the call of duty to help me get the property ready to sell in time for the open days.

I am also very happy with the outcome of the auction itself. Many thanks all round – but particularly to Bruce and his dedication to the job.”
