Ray Qu
“I will bring enthusiasm and a great attitude while caring for all your real estate needs.”
Ray Qu started his real estate career in the early 2008’s and joined Barfoot & Thompson’s Pakuranga office in February 2009. In the tough market and his first year in real estate Ray stood out – 22 properties sold (over $10 million dollars of real estate sales). This was a major achievement.
Now working for the Papatoetoe branch, Ray’s success continues - success not driven by luck but through a structured, focused work ethic and a never give up attitude. Ray’s negotiating skills are second to none.
Ray’s decision to join the Papatoetoe branch was driven by his strong belief that South Auckland is an upcoming area that has great potential for first home buyers and investors. He is working hard to build a solid reputation in the area and is enjoying working with the many different people looking to buy locally.
Ray came to New Zealand in 1997 and completed a Bachelor of Science (double major) at the University of Otago before running his own photo shop and copy centre in Epsom and Remuera. Ray’s experience specialising in photos, flyers, signage and catalogues enables him to put effective marketing material together for his clients.
Ray graduated in Shenyang University of Technology, one of the famous universities in China with his Bachelor in Engineering. He worked in China for a top industrial instrumentation factory (Technology and Sales Department) for over ten years. This background helped him develop strong skills in marketing, public relationship, client service and negotiation.
Ray loves his job and is true and sincere in his approach. His focus on the goal is sure to impress. Whether buying or selling, Ray will help. Always smiling, nothing is too much trouble.
Testimonials
"Ray is a very enthusiastic and hard working real estate agent who has a far reaching data base of buyers, Ray was able to create a multi offer and sell our family home above the asking price, well above expectations. We would recommend Ray very highly."
James M. Costello Estate
"Being overseas ,we selected 5-6 agents/agencies to send us appraisals for our property prior to us deciding to put it on the market for sale, and Ray’s was the most enthusiastic, prompt and positive appraisal we received. We found him very motivated and comfortable to work with. He kept us well informed on the progress and responded to emails promptly.
Towards the latter part of the sale when we were not happy with the prices offered by various potential buyers, we decided to take the property off the market and place it on rent. Ray did not lose his motivation and kept at it and managed to get us a buyer at the eleventh hour.
Having a rental contract signed up with the Rent shop and a renter ready to move in and a sale offer by Ray in the other hand was a tough decision for us. We decided to go for the sale as Ray convinced up it was a better option via his email explaining the sale option against the rental option in detail
In conclusion it was a good experience working with Ray and we definitely would recommend him to our friends."
