Testimonials

"Hard working, fun and friendly. He’s hungry and out to sell your house for you.
I would like to thank Bernard for selling my home for me, he was enthusiastic, always ready to help, and always available. He gave good advice, clear feed back and was prepared to go the extra mile, and even offered after sale help.....he doesn’t walk away.
The only thing is ..... after he sells your house for you, he might just celebrate by singing and playing you one of his songs. Thanks Bernard...you're a good guy."

"Bernard went the extra mile for us. Living outside Auckland made it difficult to follow up some of the remedial works identified in the building and thermo graphic inspections. Bernard pulled out all stops to help us. He was available to open the house for tradesmen and arranged for people to carry out work. Contact from Bernard was exceptional, not just with regular updates but also progress reports and the like. We felt that Bernard genuinely cared about our needs/feelings etc and wanted to provide good service. Would recommend him to anyone wanting to sell a home."

"It is with great pleasure I write today to say a big thank you to Bernard van Amelsfort for a job well done. In March of this year, I was approached by Bernard as he had heard I was planning to sell my home. He asked if I had listed with any company and I told him I was still thinking it over. I invited Bernard in to discuss the matter and as the saying goes “There is no time like the present”, the next thing I knew I had agreed to list my home with Barfoot and Thompson. As is normal with buying and selling houses, we had many “ups” and “downs”. Bernard made selling my home as easy and “stress free” as possible.

He was always there to listen to my moans and groans and throughout remained very helpful and understanding. Bernard is a true professional, honest and reliable with a good sense of humour and friendship. Nothing was ever too much trouble for him. My solicitor even commented “He is really good”. When we finally moved, Bernard arrived at 9.00 a.m. to lend a helping hand – carrying furniture, boxes, etc. Talk about “going the extra mile”.

I have no hesitation in recommending Bernard to anyone wanting real estate assistance. I will always refer my friends and family when they are thinking of selling their properties.
Once again thank you Bernard for a job well done."

"Bernard was totally professional in all my dealings with him. He put a great deal of preparation and research into marketing my home and presented me with all the information I needed to make informed decisions. He knows his market well and was able to find the perfect buyers for my home which led to an unconditional offer that I accepted within one day of listing! I have no hesitation in recommending Bernard to others as a real estate agent."

"After 40 years of treasured memories, Bernard was assigned the sale of our family home and naturally this was an extremely emotional event for all of us. The qualities of salesmanship delivered by Bernard enabled a fast and effective sales process for our family. Here are Bernard's significant attributes that we feel contributed towards the successful outcome.

Bernard was attentive, responsive and clearly specific about what the vendor could expect through the sales process. Everything Bernard said from start to finish was rational and his arguments had no hidden agendas, thereby giving the family increasing confidence in him representing the family to the buyers. Further, Bernard made this emotional process as pleasant as possible through his quick wit. We highly recommend him."

“I have known Bernard van Amelsfort since August 2007. The first time I met Bernard was at my brother-in-law’s place. The way he had the conversation with my brother-in-law and my elder sister struck a chord with them and they were happy to give him the listing to sell their property. Bernard has a very unique style to deal with his clients and customers. He is a man of his word and gives a realistic picture of the market without any sugar coating. He then outlines a game plan to get to the best possible result. It worked very well! Shortly after giving the listing to Bernard, he did sell my brother-in-law’s property for their expected price, which shows his professionalism and insight.

When I planned to sell my own rental property, I contacted Bernard and again, he came up with good market research and presented several options to get to the best result. He is a real people person and built up a good relationship with my tenants, which enabled him to do open homes every weekend without hassling them. After several weeks he came up with a good buyer and negotiated a good deal. Thanks for all you support & guidance Bernard.”

"We’ve found that Bernard had a lot of patience with us while we were looking to buy a house. We went everywhere through West Auckland and he showed us anything we wanted to see. He seems to be on call 24/7 and when we had any qusetions he always explained to us very clearly what was going on. He helped us solve problems, such as helping us to find a broker, builder or valuer. He was very helpful with suggestions and gave us good advice. When we need an agent again, whether we need to sell or buy, we will surely call on Bernard again. We fully recommend Bernard van Amelsfort to anyone who is looking for a good agent. For us he is 'Mr Right'."

“Meeting Bernard was a great thing that happened at the most appropriate time for us. We had been several months with our house not selling. Bernard took our houses on and restored our
faith in real estate. With weeks he had sold not one but two houses with the minimum of fuss and all the help we could need.”

"I was going to sell my home privately until I spoke with Bernard van Amelsfort who after meeting with him, I decided that he was the right one to market my home and to become my Sales Agent as he was very informative and knew his 'stuff' which gave me confidence that I was doing the right thing and as it turned out I did!

I always found Bernard to be friendly, professional and very approachable when dealing with him. He did a great job of marketing my home, working on my behalf and selling my home. He was helpful with suggestions on how I could makes some improvements with my home and section which was great as when you are living and breathing a home you don't always see what others do so it was great to have input before we had people through the house. I would recommend Bernard to anyone as he came through for me and it was a pleasure to deal with him. Thanks Bernard!"
