Lorraine Wood
What excites me most about working in real estate is the satisfaction of exceeding the expectations of my clients and customers alike. I place a strong focus on establishing trust and respect with my clients, many of whom have become personal friends. This has seen many repeat clients and referrals in my 15 years in the industry. My husband Don, and children, Hayden and Amy, remind me of the time we carried our furniture down the street to make a client’s house more marketable, and these are the lengths I will go to, to ensure the best result for all.
People tell me the things that set me apart in real estate are my strong values of honesty and integrity. I believe these are well aligned with Barfoot & Thompson’s commitment to delivering excellent customer service, and these values coupled with sheer hard work and determination are the key to my success in this industry.
Above all else, I am passionate about property, and I understand people. I am driven and motivated by the results I achieve for my clients, and would be delighted to meet to discuss how I may be of assistance to you.
Testimonials
"I would recommend Lorraine and Don to everyone who wants a professional service combined with old fashioned courtesy and friendliness.
Their local knowledge of the market is superb and something that has been earned, rather than learned, from their years of selling properties in Devonport."
Thank you Lorraine and Don for your help and guidance in leading us through the minefield that is real estate!
Geoff and Angela Kemp
"Lorraine is a very through and professional agent and with the help of Don, she will always go the extra mile and do her very best for her clients. She is a very likeable person, has high standards and is a calm influence in the sometimes heated process of selling and buying. She is always contactable and she convinces her clients that nothing is too much trouble. I have a great deal of respect for both Don and Lorraine personally and for the way in which they carry out their work (coming from a lawyer this is high praised indeed!).
Rosemary Picton
"I would like to recommend Loraine and Don Wood for the work they did for my husband and I in the sale of our apartment in Devonport. The apartment had been listed with other agencies before we signed with Lorraine; up to then we had no offers and were under pressure to sell as soon as possible.
Lorraine and Don came in with a fresh approach and with their commitment and enthusiasm we were able to sell in time to meet our deadline with another property.
We appreciate their professionalism and have pleasure in recommending them to other sellers/buyers in the market."
Yours faithfully

“Lorraine’s reputation preceded her, as she came highly recommended by a friend who had dealt with her in relation to a rental property for a number of years. For us she was open and honest throughout the agent selection and subsequent tender and sale process……”
Wayne & Kathie Price
“We chose to list with Lorraine Wood as we knew her to be an honest and reliable person who would work very hard on our behalf. Lorraine exceeded our expectation in every way. From day one she was most enthusiastic about our property and took it upon herself to research its interesting history, coming up with information which we hadn’t known ourselves.”
