What our buyers and sellers are saying about our auctions

K. Berry and D. Young

As first time buyers we were a bit nervous about the process. Our salesperson made sure that we had all of the information we needed. We watched auctions online beforehand on the website which helped us to form a strategy together. Not only did we get a property that we are delighted with - it actually turned out to be fun!

A. Dishell

As a salesperson, I love telling potential vendors about our traditional auction methods and new technology. It is a true point of difference and our auctioneers really know what they are doing.

Sarah and Paul Anderson

Our auction experience with Barfoot & Thompson exceeded our expectations. We were so pleased with their extensive online capabilities that other companies couldn't match at the time we were selling. We felt like we were well taken care of every step of the way.
