Testimonials

What David’s clients say:

I wish to highly recommend David Dowse for the great service he has provided to my sister and myself in selling our Grey Lynn property.
Right from the start I found David to be honest, polite and conscience, ready and willing to achieve the very best results for us.
He made sure we kept well informed of developments at all times, and as first time sellers, his reassurances and helpfulness were very much appreciated. He went out of his way to put us at ease, emphasising that everything would be taken care of.
– Marlene Belich

Paul and I wanted to thank you for being so great in selling our house in less than 1 week!
Not only did you manage the tenants but you made sure we were well informed regarding open homes and potential customers.
For those with real estate “phobias” you proved the perfect antidote! Thank you!
– Madelynne McArthur

Your regular communication and informative feedback to us during the process leading up to auction and eventual sale was much appreciated. Your understanding of the market minimised the stress for us.
David I will be recommending your service to anybody who I know is in the market and in fact I have already begun to do so. Thanks again for all of your assistance.
– Bill Newson & Kerry Harrison

"David Dowse, from Barfoot and Thompson Grey Lynn recently marketed and sold my house via auction. From the outset, David offered sound advice and guidance, yet was not too pushy. With excellent marketing at great value the exposure & response rates via the internet and open homes were exceptional. The result being a good sale within a short time without to much pain"
- June, Cumberland Ave , Westmere

- Chris and Carolyn, Cumberland Ave , Westmere

“Making a sale of a home by Auction is a task that requires a great deal of attention to detail, skill and hard work from a salesperson. Selling that same property at a premium price requires special approach and a Salesperson with an X factor. David Dowse consistently displays this. We recently awarded David for holding the most competitive Auction sale.
In fact he had 2 of the top 4 Auctions considered, proving that you should look no further than David Dowse when selling your home.”
Murray Smith AREINZ / Auctioneer

"At all stages David kept us informed, passing on to us the feedback he'd had from the open homes- both positive and negative. This gave us realistic expectations for the outcome of the auction and when it reached a higher price than we had anticipated we were thrilled.

David made the process of selling the house painless. Given that we were living 600kms away and that the house had tenants, this was no easy feat. His friendly manner, his diplomacy and his honesty made him a pleasure to deal with. Of course, most importantly, we were exceedingly happy with the outcome!

We wouldn't hesitate in recommending David to anyone looking to sell their home and wish him all the best in the real-estate market!

We are happy to recommend David to any prospective vendor in his territory. He worked extremely hard to sell our property which, although a great house in itself, had its challenges in location and title and didn’t exactly walk our the door. He was always optimistic and positive abut selling it even when we were starting to doubt, and very diligent in following up on all interest. He was fantastic at calling or visiting regularly to keep u updated. Even when we had an offer nearly certain to go unconditional he didn’t relent and worked the Sat in Easter to bring us news of a backup offer. I felt he dealt very fairly and with great integrity towards us, and prospective buyers as they arose, making sure we were all fully informed of circumstances and our options. I never felt that he was pushing us to work within his own agenda as I have felt with other agents at times. I really respected his experience and his advice. Plus he’s just a really nice guy. Thanks again, David, for all your hard work."
– Anne & Keith

"I first met David as the agent for a property I was interested in. I entered into any agreement to buy that property and that agreement has subsequently gone unconditional. I was very impressed with the low-key, open way in which he dealt with us me as a purchaser and I asked him to act as agent in the marketing of my existing property. David listened carefully to what I wanted to achieve, developed a tailored marketing plan and was efficient and professional in his approach. A sale was achieved quickly and I was very happy with the result. I recommend him."
– Catherine, Grey Lynn

“I have never been a real fan of Auctions, Dave convinced me that with some really good photography and colour advertising we would get a great sale - I said alright then. The property did not get to the auction day, after the first weekend of open homes Dave had a pre-auction offer, this brought the auction day forward to the Wednesday. Within 1 week of listing my property it was sold! Way to go Dave!”
Tracey, Freemans Bay
