Methodical and persistent, with systems strongly set in place, Debbie-Lee’s sales process flows smoothly, and previous clients commend Debbie-Lee for her commitment to service and dedication to detail. Throw Debbie-Lee’s passionate personality into the mix, her flair for property photography and her thorough knowledge of the market she deals in, and you have the recipe for an exceptional real estate salesperson.

Testimonials

"During my dealings with Debbie-Lee I found her to be very pleasant and friendly to deal with. She went out of her way to stay back to let me view the property outside the scheduled viewing hours and kindly agreed to meet me at the property outside of her work hours and before settlement. Thank you again for your help and efforts in selling me my unit.
I wish you the very best in your future endeavours."
Megan Thomas

"Thanks Debbie-Lee for all your help in the purchase of our last two properties. You are the most prepared, organized, efficient real estate person we have ever dealt with. You always go the extra mile and have all the relevant, up to date paperwork on the spot. We wish you well and continued success and will continue to recommend you."
Trudy and Celia Long

"We have great pleasure in writing this reference for Debbie-Lee Wallace of Barfoot & Thompson’s Greenlane office.

We placed our home unit, 3/28 Matai Road, Greenlane, on the market through Debbie-Lee on the 22nd of September and within 2 weeks the property was sold at a very agreeable price.

Debbie-Lee’s professional manner and enthusiasm were among the main contributing factors in the sale of our property, and we were very impressed by the way in which the process of the sale from its initial marketing to its final successful closure progressed so well.

Debbie-Lee has a great sense of humour and a warm personality, which helps ease, and in our case erase, the drama and trauma which can be part and parcel with selling a house.

We both wish Debbie-Lee all the success in the future."

Yours Truly,
Mike & Gail Kerwin

"I engaged Debbie-Lee Richards to sell my unit at 4/14 Matai Rd Greenlane. I was impressed with her efficiency and speed at selling my unit. I found her to have a very warm and friendly nature connecting with her potential clients quickly. Which I feel helped her with the negotiation of the sale of my home. I feel she has very good skills.

Debbie-Lee also helped with the relocating of my next home, making the process a lot less stressful for me. I am pleased that I employed her to sell my home and I have no regrets as I feel she got the top price for me. I would most certainly use her services and negotiating skills again. She has sold my neighbours property 5/15 Matai Rd Greenland very swiftly, who by the way had been in the property 28 years. Finally I have to say she comes highly recommended and I have no hesitation recommending her in my circle of friends and family.

Thank you again and wishing you every success with your business."

Kind Regards,
Geoffrey Chin

"Debbie-Lee really did help us buy our first home. We were dealing with a very uncertain vendor and Debbie-Lee did a fantastic job, keeping us fully informed of the situation at all times. After accepting our offer the vendor changed their mind a total of five times! While there were times when we felt like giving up, Debbie-Lee helped us persevere and finally get the home we wanted."

"I have known Debbie-Lee Wallace for a number of years and when we placed our house on the market last year she was the obvious choice.

At no time at all was anything any trouble. She quickly and efficiently got the ‘ball rolling’ regarding the house promotion and sale. She took lots of photos and used her talent with words to do some great advertisements in the Herald and Property Press.

She had people coming through the property almost daily and in two weeks the house was sold to a cash buyer for the money we wanted. We couldn’t ask for more than that!

She even helped us with rental accommodation while we waited for our new house to be built.

I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Debbie-Lee to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a property. She very easily takes the stress out of what can be a very stressful time."

Yours faithfully,
Jayne Marsdon

"We approached Debbie-Lee to sell our Unit after coming across a flyer in our letterbox from her. She was looking for Units to sell in our neighbourhood.

We listed with Debbie and she made a point of doing additional promotions, apart from the Property Press, by way of flyer drops around the Ellerslie area. She had a fair amount of people go through in the open homes held every Saturday and Sunday.

After being on the market for three months she advised us to consider an auction process, as all had been done to sell the property. We agreed and she then arranged to take some pictures of the place for promotional purposes. She did a very good job as the response from the property press and the auction sign placed on the roadside got a lot of people ringing and enquiring about the Unit.

On the day of the auction the Unit was sold to an out of town buyer on the strength of the Property Press advertisement and the information the Debbie had supplied. He had not been in to see the property at all.

I would like to thank Debbi-Lee for the excellent work that she did in marketing our property and finally getting it sold. I have no hesitation in recommending Debbie-Lee to anyone who is considering placing their property on the market."

Once again thanks Debbie.

"I do wish to acknowledge the help you gave me on the recent sale of my unit at 5/15 Matai Road, Greenlane. I had been there for 29 years and found the decision very difficult with my decision to go into a Retirement Village.
You carried out the whole procedure with great professionalism. Your own personality is such a bubbly one and you showed great kindness to me. You explained all the things reasonably to obtain a sale through the use of technology and you were “at the ready” to help with my ups and downs and to stay or sell, you brought no pressure to bear on me at all and had the patience of a Saint. I am grateful for your care and attention and you made the transition so much easier. The property sold very quickly and was a sole agency sale. I am very satisfied. I am settling in very well and thank you for helping to bring this about."

With best wishes

"Debbie-Lee sold my 1930’s Ellerslie Bungalow in 3 months, despite the houses’ age and the down-turn in the housing market. I was happy with the price. She was a positive and cheerful person to work with and always available. I am appreciative of her good work in achieving a sale. I would recommend her."
Adrienne Burney

"Just a note to say thanks so much for your excellent service selling our property at Wilkinson Road.
Your enthusiasm, friendly nature and professionalism meant the whole process went very smoothly and Glenn and I are thrilled with the resulting sale. This is especially impressive given the current market conditions.
We would not hesitate to use your services again, and will be recommending you to our friends and family."
Kristina Douglas

"Having searched for a suitable property for more than a year, we had some in contact with many agents from several different companies, some helpful and some not so, but I have to say that Debbie-Lee has stood out a mile amongst her competitors. In terms of her real estate knowledge, preparation, honesty, accessibility and understanding, we cannot fault her. She provided us with every possible detail regarding the property, both written and verbal and facilitated the transaction with the utmost ease and confidence.
I would recommend her highly to my associates and friends and intend to deal with her again in future purchases.
I have had my faith in real estate agents restored."
Celia Long & Trudy Hurst

"My husband and I were fortunate to purchase a property through Debbie-Lee Richards of Barfoot & Thompson. Our interest lay within a property of which the vendors were quite steadfast and vocal in regards to their asking price.

We met with Debbie-Lee and with her insight and knowledge, we put together an offer for her to present to the vendors. We suspected the vendors would play hardball, and that Debbie-Lee’s negotiation skills were about to be put to the test.
Imagine our delight when Debbie-Lee returned to say that our offer had been accepted, and that the terms and conditions she had advised us on had been the driving factor for the vendor’s acceptance.

We whole heartedly recommend Debbie-Lee as we found her friendly, respectful, efficient and informative."
