"In November 2021, I engaged Cherry Cooper from Barfoot & Thompson, Papakura to sell our 17 hectare run-off block situated on Ridge Road, Bombay. The property was traditionally used as a run-off for dairy replacements, but over time it had become a bit run-down. The property also had a tenanted home with a troublesome tenant. From first engaging Cherry to the final settlement date, Cherry maintained regular contact with us. She initially assisted us with eviction of the tenant and put us in touch with their rental management division in order that we could seek the best advice on an expeditious eviction.

This was followed up with numerous discussions on how best to present the property to interested buyers. Cherry identified many opportunities a buyer could take advantage of if buying the property.

Cherry’s recommendations on marketing and the subsequent well-written advertising material, contributed immensely to the high numbers of interested parties. Even though other salespeople were also showing clients around, Cherry kept a close tab on the comings and goings. Her communication with the vendors was excellent and everything was always well explained. Written communication to us was also regular and thorough."

"We were extremely grateful to have been able to work with Cherry on the sale of our old place and also the purchase of our new place. She worked tirelessly and was amazing to deal with through the whole process. When faced with challenges along the way she worked hard, looked at all options and really thought outside the box to make both the sale and purchase a real success. We were very pleased to have her in our corner and her knowledge and experience deemed priceless to us to enable both transactions to be able to go through successfully. We would highly recommend her if you are thinking of selling."

"Cherry was very professional, communicated well and was fun to work with. We are pleased with the outcome and highly recommend!"

"Cherry has first class knowledge of the rural market. Her attention to detail and her approach to marketing is excellent. It was so easy to simply leave everything in her hands. The follow up and feedback about groups that attended open homes could not have been better. When it came to closing the sale, there was no letup in focus or professional approach. We would have no hesitation in recommending Cherry to others considering the sale of their Rural property. "

Having a local real estate agent proved very worthwhile, with her knowledge of the local area and exceptional service, as I had one problem after another with issues outside of our control. Cherry stood by me all the way and I am eternally grateful for her professionalism. Nothing was as big a problem as I thought it was, as Cherry helped me 100%. The sold sticker never looked so good.

I recommend Barfoot & Thompson's marketing methods as being very suitable for our property. Our agent Cherry Cooper, even though she is our neighbour, was very professional, helpful and astute in her dealings with us. We chose her because we knew she had a wide network of clients suitable for our rural property and she sure came up trumps even before the property came on the market. You can't get any better than that.
