Testimonials

"I'm writing on behalf of my mother, Bernice Malone and family; Ray was the listing agent for her property in Ellerslie. On behalf of us all, and my mother in particular, we want to say a big "Thank you" to Ray for his kindness, humour and absolute professionalism in helping with the sale of Mum's home.

Ray made sure everything was fully explained and did so in an easy, friendly way which made it stress-free, especially for Mum, who is 81 yrs old. Ray also went so far as to give up half of his Saturday to help us paint the large living room, prior to the open days. Amazing!

Though the eventual buyer came via your Mt. Eden branch, we feel that due to Ray's efforts, Mum got a price at auction that she never dreamed of.

Please pass on our very best to Ray and we hope he gets the recognition he deserves; he is a credit to Barfoot & Thompson!"
Bernice Malone

"I found that Ray was very approachable and kept me informed through all aspects of my sale. He is completely trustworthy, honest and I would have no hesitation in recommending him."
Patricia Lott

“We would like to express our thanks for the way in which you undertook the recent sale of our home.

From the very beginning you provided us with helpful advice about the sales process and accurate information regarding the current housing market. The marketing plan you put in place worked well for us, so that we generate interested buyers quickly. Your initial appraisal for our house, which was in our expectations proved to be accurate. An agent, less focussed on doing the best job he could fro the vendor, may well have persuaded us to sell our home for significantly less than the price we achieved.

Throughout the whole process we found you helpful, professional and dedicated to negotiating a suitable price for the property, you made the whole negotiation process quick and effortless. At all times we found your approach to be polite and respectful of our time and our home.”
Pare & Beryl

“I am more than happy to record our complete satisfaction with Ray Allen’s handling of the sale of our property.

“By a stroke of luck I came across Ray Allen and I have to say he has been absolutely fantastic.

Not only was the unit sold at a very fair and reasonable price in a short space of time, but Ray was the consummate professional in all that he did.

I would have absolutely no problem referring Ray to any prospective sellers.’
B. Donovan

“We are both extremely impressed that within a week of putting it on the market, you had an agreement which was satisfying to both of us (the vendors) and the purchaser, that you kept we out-of-town vendors totally up to date and went more than the extra mile to help us. Putting the wheelie bin out was one!

We cannot recommend your performance highly enough, and we are very grateful for all you have done.”
S. & B. Fleming
