Lance Pemberton
ENTHUSIASM + KNOWLEDGE = SUCCESS
The best sales professional listens more and talks less.
So why choose me? My commitment is to do the very best for you.
Over 30 years of experience in business, sales and marketing. Once a buyer for the LD Nathan group, I have been on both sides of selling and buying. I was taught negotiation skills to a very high level and continue to refine them even now.
In 1991 I discovered my passion for real estate, beginning a career that has me as a consistent top performer in Auckland – while not loosing sight of family. In 1993 I joined Barfoot & Thompson, and was the ‘number one new entrant’ that year. I am highly regarded for my honesty and frankness, especially by my peers. Often marketing and selling their own homes.
In 1998 I wrote the book
‘SOLD’. Penned especially to help home owners achieve maximum value for their home.
I would love to be at your service.
Garth Barfoot – Director Barfoot & Thompson
“Please accept the congratulations of all the directors on becoming the top new entrant to the company for the year ending 31 March 1993. Though not new to real estate, to bring in sales commissions averaging $XX,000 per month is a most worthy achievement. We wish you continued success.”
Marian Tolich - Barfoot & Thompson Auctioneer
"Lance is a total professional who strives for the best result. Recently a successful buyer at auction stood and shouted in front of a packed room at Lance that he had made him pay too much! Lance simply smiled and reminded him 'that is my job'."
Testimonials
What some of Lance’s clients say about him…
“Total Trust, confidence and “guanxi” (relationship) are words commonly associated with ones family and closest friends yet those are the very words that my wife, Tina, and I have deliberately chosen to describe Lance Pemberton.
We have known Lance for over 10 years and during that time; we bought our first house to upgrading to another house and finally in facilitating in purchasing our dream house. Lance took out the additional stress and uncertainty that comes along with buying and selling property. Lance’s results also speak for itself. We achieved over and above our expectations in all our transactions whilst living overseas.
Lance’s appreciation and understanding of the multicultural dimension of Auckland enables Lance to connect with both vendors and purchasers alike in being able to effectively communicate through any language or cultural barriers.
Please accept our highest recommendation of Lance Pemberton as your preferred and trusted representative to achieve your sale or purchase of property.”

“We had the pleasure of listing our property with Lance Pemberton in September 2009. He achieved a price well beyond our expectations and we were thrilled with the result.
For the last 8 months, Lance has been searching Auckland wide for a new family home and has taken us through countless properties. He has been available at very short notice and at all hours to take us through possible purchases.
Numerous other companies showed us through 2 or 3 properties and then gave up on us - whereby Lance has gone well beyond his role as a Barfoot agent and is dedicated to his clients.
We now have a beautiful family home which we wouldn't have achieved without him.
We cant begin to thank Lance for the time and effort he has put into our search - especially as there was no guarantee that it would result in a sale for him.
If you are thinking about selling or buying a property, Lance will ensure you the best price in today's market and will find you the property of your dreams.”

“I have known Lance for over 20 years. The skills and experience that he brings to the role are in my opinion second to none. He is without doubt the most enthusiastic and professional real estate person I know. He always provides honest straight forward advice even if it is contrary to his own interests. Honesty and integrity are values that are sometimes absent in commissioned based sales roles. This statement does not however apply to Lance. Lance is involved in the long term game striving to get the best that he can for his clients, while keeping an eye out for the future and that return business and the importance of referrals from satisfied clients. I recently recommended him to friends to sell their property in a difficult market. He did so after advising on the marketing plan and achieved in excess of their expectation in terms of price in what could only be described as a very difficult, fickle market.”

“We are writing to you today to express our sincere thanks for the manner in which you conducted the marketing of our home.. Your relaxed yet professional approach has given us confidence at a time when we have been under considerable pressure.
The enthusiasm you generated enabled us to forget about the selling of the property. You said “leave it to me”, we did and we’re delighted with the result. Thanks again.”

“I would like to thank Lance Pemberton for his diligent work that he has undertaken on behalf of the Government, in particular this office in his capacity as a Real Estate agent.
Lance has assisted in obtaining contracts for many properties in the two and a half year period that I have dealt with him, many of them substantially above independent market valuation. This is a result of his tireless efforts, knowledge and keen sense of market conditions. I would sincerely recommend Lance to anyone wanting honest, reliable assistance in marketing and selling Real Estate”

Property Officer,

"The initial meeting to discuss the selling of our property set the pattern for a very successful and stress-free transaction. Both James and Lance gave valuable and professional advice on pre-sale preparation and their willingness and practical assistance in this regard was very much appreciated.
Through their commitment and expertise our property had the best of advertising, was sold in a very short time and we were pleased with the outcome.
Every aspect of the marketing and selling process was smoothly and pleasantly handled and resulted in a very successful and rewarding auction .
Thank you both for all your assistance and friendly approachable manner . We wish you well in all your future property promotions.
