Working with Colin & Sarah was an absolute pleasure. - When they arrived on time for the first appraisal I was confident I had chosen the right people for the job. Professional, patient and calm. Communication was clear, organisation of photos, open homes, viewings and reports were arranged quickly and efficiently. I was never left wondering what was happening next.

It was evident they worked really well together. The whole process went smoothly resulting in a stress free and quick sale. Colin and Sarah went over and above my expectations for an agent. I would highly recommend them.

"Navigating the complexities of selling real estate can be frightening, but Colin made the process easy. What impressed us the most about Colin was his knowledge of the local market. His insights into current trends, property values, and neighbourhood dynamics were invaluable in making informed decisions throughout the process. Colin’s communication was excellent – he was consistently responsive, prompt, and transparent in our dealings. We are beyond satisfied with the results and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Colin to anyone in need of an excellent real estate agent."

Meryl and I write to let you know what an asset Colin is to the team at Barfoot & Thompson Kerikeri. As you are aware, he was our salesperson in the sale of our property in Kerikeri, something that turned out to be something of a marathon rather than a sprint! Yet every step of the way, Colin was there with us, quietly confident and very encouraging. He handled our many questions, frustrations and disappointments professionally and compassionately. He is an amazing person! Very professional in the way he handled every detail of the sale and yet very helpful in going well above and beyond what was expected of him – even to the extent of unlocking the house for us (while we were away) and helping to load an extremely heavy couch that we had sold! Nothing was too much trouble for him. Knowing my health situation, he offered his help on numerous occasions to move any heavy objects or to assist in packing up our home when it eventually sold.

He ran Open Homes on a weekly basis for months – even when we were willing to give up - and kept us informed of anything resulting from them. He pursued every lead and followed up regularly with anyone who expressed any level of interest in the property. His advice and knowledge of what was happening in the market was very helpful. When our property eventually sold, I think he was as happy as we were and he certainly earned his commission.

I have dealt with several salespeople over the years and have no difficulty in rating Colin as one of the best I have worked with on both the professional and personal level. He is an asset to your team!

We were very fortunate to win the Kerikeri Heart Foundation Home. Having carefully considered all options available to us, we chose to sell the property. We chose Colin as a point of contact to get an over-the-phone indication as to the value.

Once we had made our final decision to sell, there was no reason to look for another salesperson to list with as our initial discussion with Colin was most informative and he was more than obliging to chat. From the start of the sale process to settlement, Colin was a true professional. We found him to be knowledgeable of the market and very obliging to our needs as ‘out of towners’ .

We were able to develop a trust in Colin through his integrity and communication and would certainly not hesitate in recommending Colin to other clients

We are so happy we chose Colin Taylor of Barfoot & Thompson in Kerikeri to sell our home. Colin went above and beyond to ensure we were kept up to date, informed and part of the process every step of the way. From the very beginning meeting with Colin, he was professional, prompt, friendly and approachable and had an excellent and impressive knowledge of the local market. Colin had the vision to see the possibilities for our property, he provided us with an excellent marketing plan, and successfully achieved well above the range that any of the other appraisals from other companies provided for our property in a very short time. If you want a salesperson who is honest and open, easy to deal with and can successfully negotiate excellent sales with no stress, then Colin is definitely the man for you. Thanks again Colin, your work is very much appreciated, and we'll be back next time we sell!

We purchased a property on Keridale Lane from Paula O’Brien and Colin Taylor mid last year, with Paula being our main contact. Paula was very professional and went above and beyond through the process of purchasing this property. Earlier this year our circumstances changed, and we relocated back to Hamilton. Without hesitation, we contacted Paula to appraise the property and then go ahead with the marketing. Her approach, again, impressed us. Not only did we sell our property quickly, but she also maximised our return. We had long periods away from the property and Paula had no hesitation to pop around and water our indoor plants, and anything else required. With all of the above in mind, I would have no hesitation to recommend both Paula and Colin to anyone wishing to sell their property, along with anyone looking to purchase.
