It is our pleasure to write this reference for Warren.
We accepted employment overseas and were faced with many decisions as most home owners are when placed in a position to sell their property.

What struck us immediately about Warren, was his quiet demeanour, his passion for his job and how prepared he was. He answered all our questions on the 1st visit and was extremely professional in his approach to the services he/his agency could offer.

We felt that throughout the whole process, one of Warren’s strength is his ability to communicate. He kept us fully abreast with developments as well as what he was doing to promote/sell our property. He gave us updated feedback on any interest from clients both he and his colleagues had brought through the house and we felt extremely comfortable during the whole process.
The most satisfying aspect for us that we felt all the way through was that Warren genuinely listened to and respected our opinions, thoughts and concerns and acted on them where he could. He was always honest and up front in his dealing with us – a fact we really appreciated.

Our house sold at auction and this was one of the few times that we sat back and felt comfortable that our agent was in fact working for us!

Warren is a credit to Barfoot & Thompson and a credit to the profession.

We would have no hesitation in recommending Warren to my family or friends such is the level of service he afforded us as a family.

Should we return to New Zealand, Warren would be the 1st person we would contact to look for a property. He is an agent extraordinaire!

My wife and I put our house on the market and chose Warren from friends' recommendations.
We were well pleased with the excellent service he gave us. Ail the options available to us were fully explained in a patient manner, even where we had strong opinions about what we didn't want. We asked Warren to list our house and had a sale after the first Open Day.

It required patience and negotiating skill of the highest degree, which Warren has, and we commend him as an excellent agent, who will keep your best interests uppermost in his mind throughout the sale process.

If you are looking to purchase a house, the same applies.

We were impressed with Warren’s approach to real estate from our first meeting. He is a pleasure to work with and handled the marketing of our property very well in a difficult real estate market.

We sold within weeks due largely to Warren’s hard work and honest advice.

He communicated exceptionally well throughout the process, keeping us up to date with his promotional efforts, keeping us abreast of progress with each potential buyer he was getting through, and following up all leads in a timely and professional manner.

He is courteous and dedicated and listens very carefully to his clients needs. We would definitely list with him again if we were to sell in the future, and wholeheartedly recommend him.

Warren had a courteous and professional manner and he was confident of selling my house, which appealed to me.

He dealt with all aspects of selling my house often giving me hints and advice.

All in all Warren was greatly appreciated. My house sold within a month and I received a good price for it. I have no hesitation in recommending Warren.

Being a first home buyer I was very nervous and unsure of what was ahead of me.

Warren was so supportive with his advice and professional approach from day one. He guided me through the process step by step and honestly made my first ever home purchase as stress free as possible except when it came to Auction day! But even then under pressure his calm and supportive advice helped me walk away with the house of my dreams! I would not hesitate to recommend Warren to anyone looking to buy or sell. His professional manner really does make Warren stand out.

Thanks Warren and the team at Barfoots

Dear Warren

Re – Auction: 24 Yeovil Road, Te Atatu Peninsula

I write to you today to express my appreciation for all your hard work involved in the preparation and eventual successful sale of my property.
Warren, it is difficult for me to find the words to effectively express my feelings without sounding like everyone else because you do more than the business. The stand out points for me is your humility, ability to really listen and explain things in plain English, sometimes more than once. Your honesty is so refreshing and I always felt you had my best interests at heart. It always felt like it was about me not you or Barfoot and Thompson. My life is taking a new turn thanks to you.
You will be the first person I contact should I purchase or sell property in the future. Needless to say I have no hesitation in recommending you. As an aside even my neighbours were impressed with you.
I would like to take this opportunity to wish you well and once again thank you.

Kind Regards
Hiria Buchanan
