Profile

Wayne McCarthy

This is not only about Wayne but about the successful business partnership of Wayne McCarthy and Trevor Wyness.

It was in 1999 that they independently appreciated each others unique and extraordinary business and personal skills and formed a partnership designed to enhance their abilities in the real estate field. Although they were highly successful in their own right, they are now able to deliver a comprehensive service that is second to none. It is said that “when people meet these two, they move”.

With a combined 37 years experience of meeting a wide variety of real estate needs, totaling in the multi millions, they are qualified professionals who satisfy the most fastidious clients and customers. Acutely aware that buying and selling real estate can be a stressful process, they endeavour to introduce a level of humour while also taking responsibility for reducing the pressures involved.

They say, “Whether buying or selling we are always looking for stress free ways to help people achieve their goals.”

The partnership approach has proved itself over the past 10 years. In recent times they have well and truly exceeded all of their best expectations in sales, with many sales being completed within one week of the properties coming onto the market.

Testimonials

I would like to thank you on behalf of all the vendors for the gift hamper Wayne dropped off Friday. I think we are all happy with the result and the campaign strategy really worked out so that we were all winners in the end; including the purchaser, who appeared thrilled with what he had acquired.

Special credit goes to Wayne and Trevor who appear to have assessed the currents of interest shrewdly and advised me well; including predicting – accurately – as it turned out, who would eventually buy at auction.

This is the second time I have dealt with Wayne personally – once as vendor and once as purchaser – and I trust it won’t be the last.

Thanks also for your initial input and thoughts.

Best regards,
Paul Shenkin

After the successful sale of my father’s property last year, you were my choice of agents for the sale of my own property this year.

Thank you for an excellent marketing campaign and for making it as easy as possible for me while Hamish was absent in China. I appreciated your thoughtfulness regarding not bring potential buyers through at all hours but booking a time and having one of you present when other agents were involved.

The auction was nerve wracking but, ultimately, successful and it was marvelous to have the sale wrapped up in four weeks. Thank you, also, for the suggestion of a long settlement which has given Hamish and me time to locate another property and secure the same settlement date.

Hamish and I have lived in the Riddell Road property for over 30 years and look forward to a fresh home in Polygon Road.

Thanks for everything guys.

Yours sincerely,
Linda Russell

We have recently sold our property by auction at 2/64 Hawera Road, Kohimarama.

In first selecting our agent, we were impressed by Wayne McCarthy and Trevor Wyness’ presentation. They never at any stage attempted to “buy” our listing as so many agents will, but portrayed a genuine, common sense, knowledgeable and professional approach, with personalities and skills which complimented each other.

During the marketing campaign they both “went the extra yard” and kept us fully informed of progress.

The end result was a very successful sale on the day at auction, and very satisfied vendors.

We have no hesitation in recommending any potential vendor (or purchaser) to Wayne and Trevor.

Yours sincerely,
A.I. (Tony) and J.J. (Jenny) Gallaugher

We have recently sold our house in Kohimarama, Auckland, through Trevor Wyness and Wayne McCarthy of Barfoot & Thompson. It proved to be a very easy and happy process all around.

We are living in Australia and a friend recommended Trevor to us. We contacted a few real estate agencies in the area to submit proposals to sell our house, and from day one Trevor was the most efficient and realistic agent. He was also the only agent that made the effort to contact us in Australia and have further discussions.

We decided to offer the mandate to Trevor on his professional approach and very importantly for us that he was going to be a good communicator with us being so far away from the action.

Trevor and Wayne organised everything they considered the house needed to be at its best – furnishing the inside and sprucing up the outside. They sourced good quotes and supervised the work before launching into the advertising

As the campaign was underway the flow of communication continued, the buyers came and the house sold at a price we were very happy with.

I cannot recommend Trevor and Wayne highly enough. Apart from being lovely people to deal with they were great communicators and very thorough and able in the job we asked them to do.

Sale of 53 Glover Road, St Heliers

Now that the sale of our property has been finalized, we both felt it was appropriate to say a special thank you!!

We have dealt with a number of real estate agents over the years in selling various properties. We both agree that throughout all phases of this sale process you provided outstanding service and acted extremely professionally.

You didn’t over promise at any point, and over delivered on what you did promise.

You kept us very well informed at key times in the process without burdening us with trivia.

You accepted gracefully our decision not to pursue two early offers made on the property, and at the end of the tender process you intermediated very effectively between the 4 final bidders, with the result that a highly satisfactory outcome has been achieved.

Please don’t hesitate to provide us as referees in the future.

We are copying this letter to the branch manager, and in doing so make the point that this letter is totally unsolicited.

I initially got in touch with Trevor and Wayne about selling my property because my valuer recommended their ability to “get the job done”.

I wondered how their “two agent”, team approach would work. Would one of them be my principle agent, or would I work with both of them? With only one of me, would two agents be one agent too many?

From the first meeting, I found myself very happy to be working with both of them. They are a great example of the power of teamwork. Each contributes what he does best and each is expert in that area.

Their market appraisal was accurate and incisive. Their recommended selling approach proved extremely successful and their proposed marketing programme cost- effective and appropriate for the property type.

Their service was seamless. At any time I could talk to either one and he always knew the latest on my property.

Nothing fazed them. Aspects of the LIM report I felt would be challenging were no problem. It was nothing they hadn’t dealt with before.

They went the extra mile. They saw a way to de-stress my last minute preparations and were quick to offer some very welcome assistance that went beyond the normal scope of their role.

Their personalities are as complementary as their skills. Between the two different approaches, I felt confident one or the other would relate well to any prospective purchaser – not to mention tactfully handle the vagaries of my own personality!

They are very experienced negotiators. Prior to their lengthy real estate careers, I was impressed to learn each had substantial prior sales experience in both consumer and business-to-business markets.

They enjoy their work and it shows. They have fun and are fun to work with. As selling a house can be stressful, this was a lovely bonus.

Lastly, in choosing Trevor and Wayne, I quickly discovered I had also chosen Barfoot & Thompson’s entire network of agents. Having recently worked with another real estate company, I was quick to appreciate the difference. From day one, not only did twice as many agents view my property, but they began promoting my property straight away. The activity and the results were spectacular. My property sold in 36 hours at a price that exceeded my expectations.

I would venture to say that together Wayne and Trevor operate as a composite “perfect agent”. Add the backing of Barfoot & Thompson and it just keeps getting better.

Whether selling or buying, I would be delighted to work with Trevor and Wayne, and Barfoot’s again.
