Helen and Scott Mcbeath...
"Jeff and Justine were fantastic throughout the process of our sale. They took us on a journey as reluctant sellers, to a place where we were happy and comfortable moving on to the next chapter in Europe. Very accessible, Justine and Jeff provided us with follow up and kept us in the loop on all stages in the sale.
Thank you guys! Fantastic."

Darren and Connie Lee...
"We first met Annie and Justine as purchasers of our new home. We talked with them on numerous occasions through this purchase process and became satisfied that they were somebody who we could trust and were not feeding us bullshit. There were some potential challenging issues with the purchase of our new home but they handled these professionally. When it came to selling our own home, we initially had an agent from a competing agency lined up but this agent quickly let the ball drop and didn't give us confidence they would be doing the best for us..

Hence we trusted Annie and Justine were going to do a far better job for us and as it turned out this was proven correct selling higher than expected after one weekend of open homes. We will recommend Annie and Justine to anybody we know considering selling. They have done a great job not just in selling our home, but also in advising some basic things we should do to make the house more attractive to buyers.

Both Annie and Justine were very good to deal with. They both sold us the benefits of Barfoot & Thompson over your competitors (no franchised) and that instantly made sense to me and Barfoot & Thompson had greater networking capacity."

"I found Sarah and Justine, to both be very friendly and approachable. Had a good knowledge of the market and were very good in helping me understand the procedures. Kept in touch with me re progress and the speedy sale of my property was greatly appreciated. Would highly recommend them."

David and Jean Longland...
"Early 2012 we approached Sarah Benbow of Barfoot & Thompson to give us an appraisal of our property. Sarah came round with her partner, Justine Torrice and we found them both to be very knowledgeable of the local real estate market giving us valuable advice. A few months later we asked them to market our home the way we wanted it done. There wasn’t any pressure to do it their way. They were both very understanding and appreciative of our needs and respected our wishes at all times. Together, we found them both to be very professional when showing prospective buyers around our home and kept us informed of the progress.

Eventually, we sold our house, thanks to the team of Benbow & Torrice. A few weeks later, after months of searching for another property, Sarah was instrumental in advising us of a new house coming onto the market. She knew just what we wanted and moved fast to make sure we had every opportunity to make a very quick decision, but again without any pressure. Both Justine and Sarah helped us secure our new home in what must surely have been a record time. Without them both, we would not have bought our new home."

"It was such a pleasure to work with the two of you again after using your services a few years ago selling my rental property. This time was definitely different for me since it was my actual home and not a rental property. But the two of you were amazing and I really do appreciate everything you did and really enjoyed working with you both again. Your professionalism and knowledge of the area and the industry were advantageous. You both guided and directed me thru the entire process and I felt very confident and comfortable in your hands. Your timely follow up and weekly catch up meetings were extremely helpful and reassuring. I would highly recommend your services to anyone who is interested in selling their property! Thank you so much for helping me once again and I'm certain to use your services in the future if the need ever arises."

Ian and Carol Gordon...
"Thank you for all the work you did for us selling the house here in Unsworth Heights. You were both very professional and kept us informed every step of the way. I hope I never have to use you again though – only because I never want to move again! I will definitely recommend you to anyone I hear of who is wanting to sell property. Thank you so much for the lovely gift basket. Ian was eyeing up the bottle of wine last night and Jack wanted to start eating the goodies but I told them to leave it alone for a while longer! It won’t last long in this household though."

Vladimir and Olga...
"We worked with Justine Torrice (Barfoot & Thompson) as our real estate salesperson when we were looking to buy a house in Greenhithe, Auckland. Despite the fact that our efforts haven't ended up in a purchase (we have decided to buy a house in Kumeu) we enjoyed every minute we spent with Justine. She is one of the few NZ real estate salespeople who works really hard and always goes the extra-mile when representing your interests. Justine is very honest and open. She gave us lots of very smart advice and always did what she promised. We highly recommend Justine as your real estate salesperson for both selling and buying"

Glen McCaffery...
“Justine was in constant communication with myself, my legal council and the client. Justine was constantly contactable and followed up promptly on any of my questions and concerns. Apart from her very professional manner and diligence, I was immediately willing to trust that Justine was working for my interests. During the course of time Justine proved that this trust was not unwarranted. Aside from all of this, Justine demonstrated a warm and friendly manner at all times and was a pleasure to deal with. I therefore have no hesitation in writing a letter of recommendation for Justine.”

Jacci Hilton...
“Justine’s manner at all times was very professional and friendly, she kept us informed all the way through the searching and negotiation period, which can be a very stressful time, but with Justine’s help she made this process easy for us.”

Marian and Ronald, September 2010...
“It was a pleasure dealing with Justine, once with selling our house and once with helping us buy that special place that we were looking for to build our new home.
To all out there, we want you to know that Justine was very helpful, friendly and professional and we felt as if she was there just for us.
We would like to recommend Justine to all out there trying to sell or buy a home.”

Garry, Susan, Jessica, Sarah & Nicole Mott, December 2009...
“I would like to say a huge THANK YOU for your absolutely beautiful surprise on Monday.
I have been trying to call you for a couple of days now but did not quite know how to say it without becoming emotional.
We have had a really tough year and your basket was an absolute surprise to us.
It really made our day to think that you would go out of your way to think of us at Christmas and to thank us for the sale!
Justine, we are so appreciative of everything you have done for us. Dealing with you has been an absolute stress free experience!
We have dealt with some real rotters in real estate and you have been an absolute pleasure to deal with.
At no point did Garry and I feel pressured and you gave us plenty of time to make an informed decision over the sale of the land.
We should be bringing you a basket of goodies!
Once again, we would like you to know, that from the bottom of hearts how grateful we are of your basket of goodies!.”

"I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you both considerably for all the effort to date, honestly I have absolute confidence that every effort has been made on your part to sell my house; the marketing has been spot on, the dedication to open homes/follow-up and all that goes with being the selling agent. I wouldn’t have changed a thing. Its been great working with you both. I’ll be back knocking on your door as I've really enjoyed working with you both."
