About Ian Molloy

Ian has worked for Barfoot & Thompson since 1988. He is currently in the top ten of longest serving employees company-wide and is the longest serving residential salesperson on the North Shore.

Ian is very proud to work for a family-owned company whose business philosophy matches his own. He values honesty, integrity and service excellence towards his many clients as paramount to succeeding in such a competitive industry.

Ian came from a successful sales background and joined Barfoot & Thompson for a new challenge and has been thoroughly committed to selling homes ever since! He commenced at Birkenhead office, transferring to Glenfield office in 1992, but of course lists and sells North Shore/Auckland wide.

In the over 30 years he has been in the industry, he has gained huge experience in working all types of market...the boom or the bust! It is this resilience that has seen him consistently successful in his field.

Always looking to improve his performance, he has built a strong team to assist him in many areas so he can fully concentrate on providing the highest service to his clients. In 2003, Ian appointed Lisa Molloy to assist him and this has been a successful partnership. The bonus is that you get two skilled salespeople working for you for the price of one! He has also appointed their daughter Rebecca as a sales associate. As her grandmother was one of the first women salespeople working for the company and she also worked at Glenfield office, there are now three generations in the family with real estate in their blood! Kinbou Zhang is also a sales associate and can assist our Chinese speaking clients.

Ian feels it is extremely important to entrust the sale of your home to a professional with experience and knowledge, someone who is a skilled negotiator and an approachable 'people-person'.

With many years of past clients, who return time and again to list their home with him and refer family and friends as well, Ian knows the value of providing an excellent service to all those he meets.

What my clients say

Another One Sold - I have used Ian and Lisa previously on another property which was challenging, but they got the job done despite the challenges. This one was much more straightforward and the property sold very quickly. They are professional and have a good knowledge of the market in the Glenfield area. This allows them to give realistic market rates, not overstating just to get the client and they have a good database of buyers. Communication is good, open and honest. Highly recommend them as professional real estate salespeople.

Sean Hutchings - Seller, 03 May 2025

Excellent. Outstanding marketing knowledge. Great communicative skills. Highly professional.
The appointment of Lisa and Ian Molloy as our real estate salespeople, was an easy choice for us, as several years ago, we used their expertise and were extremely satisfied with that outcome. Their experience and accumulated knowledge of the market place, enables them to assist and perform to extremely high standards. From day one, both Lisa and Ian made the whole process very streamlined and efficient, resulting in a very pleasant and enjoyable experience during a period which can be very challenging and stressful. We could not fault Lisa and Ian’s efforts, feedback, professionalism, patience, nor their approachability. Any concerns or questions we raised were always addressed and resolved very quickly. Nothing was too much trouble, and they welcomed our input respectfully at all times. The result of their efforts is reflected in another very successful outcome, for all parties. We would 100% highly recommend and utilise their services again.

Julie Marshall - Seller, 01 Dec 2024

From the start to end of the sales process, Lisa was not only a salesperson but also a guide for me to make my first property sale a success. She always went above and beyond to explain things if I didn't understand. Her professional approach gave me confidence in her to sell the house, meeting all goals.

Isaac Kim - Seller, 01 Dec 2024

Excellent Service
This team really knows the market and how to get the best possible price. Nothing is too much trouble, they are flexible and willing to reassess and try new approaches to get the best result. I felt listened to all the way through a long process, in a very tough market. This team got me there!

Susan Webley -- Seller, 08 Oct 2024

Efficient and Helpful Property Salesperson
We had a great experience with Ian and Lisa Molloy. When the first house we viewed wasn’t within our budget, they quickly found another option that suited our needs. Their responsiveness and ability to resolve issues rapidly made the process smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend!

Angel Guanlao-Abes - Buyer, 24 Jul 2024

10/10 satisfaction thanks to Ian and Lisa Molloy
Ian and Lisa were amazing to work with. Our property was not an easy property to sell and they were tirelessly supportive and positive throughout the entire experience with a very satisfactory end result. Communications with Ian and Lisa were outstanding. They are professional and personable and have a huge amount of knowledge and experience that is invaluable. We wouldn't have wanted to work with anyone else and highly recommend Ian and Lisa if you are selling your home.

Craig & Debbie Nelson - Seller, 16 Jul 2024

Good Job!
Ian and Lisa were exceptional agents throughout the entire process. From our initial meeting to the final closing, they demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and dedication to ensuring our needs were met. Their communication skills were excellent; they kept us informed every step of the way and were always available to address any questions or concerns we had.

Iraj - Buyer, 10 May 2024

Excellent service
Excellent on all the above. Ian's market knowledge was so useful, as I have not sold a house for a long time. He gave me excellent guidance and when the going got tough, he was there to boost my morale.

Corinne Vendor - Target Rd Totaravale

Fantastic service from start to finish
We recently listed our property in Glenfield for sale with Lisa and Ian Molloy. We cannot speak highly enough of the level of service we received. Nothing was ever a problem and they guided us through the complete selling process making the experience so much easier with their knowledge and experience. They, at all times, were extremely professional and caring ensuring we got the outcome we wanted. We would not hesitate to recommend Lisa and Ian to anyone thinking of selling in the future.

John & Michelle - Vendor, 3 Dec 2023

Genuine honest advice always given
We've known Lisa and Ian for many years, during which time they have helped our family buy and sell our homes. We have always relied on them to give us an honest opinion and assistance when needed. This time was no different. My sisters and I had tenants in Dad's house when he went into a rest home. When Dad passed away and the tenants gave notice, it was time to put the house on the market. Lisa and Ian were the obvious choice of agents to go to and their assistance in selling the house was invaluable. I would recommend Lisa and Ian to anyone wanting to buy or sell a home.

Ann Jury - Vendor, 5 Nov 2023

5 Stars - A Safe Pair of Hands
Lisa and Ian Molloy were invaluable when we came to sell our late mother's home. Knowledgeable, professional, reliable and hardworking, nothing was a problem for Lisa or Ian. They listened to our thoughts and concerns and took care when guiding us through the process of selling our dear Mum's home. We would highly recommend Team Molloy to anyone thinking about buying or selling property - especially in a tough market.

Toni Kenyon - Vendor, 24 May 2023

5 Stars Awesome Salespeople
I have dealt with Team Molloy for many years. They have assisted me buy and sell various properties. I have found their service to be excellent. Nothing is too much trouble. My wife and I appreciate all the advice and support Lisa and Ian have given us and we like their no-nonsense approach, whilst still being able to share a few laughs together. They are in my circle of trust and because of this I have referred other family members to them. I would recommend them to anyone.

Robert & Helen - Verran Rd Birkenhead, 4 Apr 2023

5 Stars Outstanding service, support without the bull!
Ian has been our family's salesperson for many years, and through several houses now, and not once has he let us down. Ian provided outstanding service, impeccable communication and ample support when needed. He is down-to-earth, relatable and genuinely honest with his clients. We consider Ian and Lisa Molloy good friends and trusted advisers for all things real estate. I would highly recommend Ian to anyone looking to buy or sell. If you need a hard grafter, Ian’s your man!

Nik & Amy - Gazelle Ave, BeachHaven, 28 Mar 2023

Brilliant Real Estate Salesperson
Very dedicated to her clients. Honest and trustworthy. Understands both legal and moral side of real estate. Proactive, helpful, excellent guide. Glad to have chosen her as our salesperson.

Novica & Vera - Vendor, 23 Jul 2022

Very friendly, professional and helpful
Team Molloy did a great job for us in spite of a very unpredictable market at the time we sold. Lisa was always there with her support and knowledge. As a couple that hadn’t sold a property for 36 years it was very stressful, but Lisa, Ian and Bex did a great job with the marketing and total support throughout. Lisa always replied to phone or text messages very quickly when we were concerned about something. They kept us informed all the time. We would highly recommend Lisa and team to anyone thinking of selling.

Val & Allen Terris - Hillcrest

Lisa was very supportive throughout the whole process of purchasing a property. Right from the beginning when we started searching, she was honest and very accurate as to the houses that were in our price range. She never hesitated to check Trademe listings that we liked the look of and very quickly arranged viewings of the properties that were suitable. She made the whole process very, very clear and her knowledge of real estate was clear when exploring the market. She went above and beyond finding information about properties which made us feel very confident with our decisions. Even when we came to auction day, she was there as a support person. I am so thankful for Lisa's support throughout this process and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking!

Amy Vaughan - Stanmore Bay

Lisa was an asset in our property search. Particularly around the Covid Lockdown, where she was able to get us into view properties when we would have otherwise not been able to. Lisa provided us with sound advice and guidance and acted on our behalf in the auction process, showing us the ropes in a sector that was completely foreign to us as first time buyers.

Good luck for the future.

Lauren & Kevin - Kia Ora Rd, Birkdale

Honest, easy to get on with, not pushy
We chose Ian and Lisa to be our salespeople after a family member was very happy with how Ian and Lisa helped them sell their property. We were also very pleased with our interactions with the Molloy team. Both Ian and Lisa are very approachable, down-to-earth and always available to help you navigate through the process of selling.

Diane Aldridge - Vendor, 12 Mar 2022

We considered which agency to use and decided on Barfoot & Thompson as being the most established and experienced. The Molloy team were recommended by a friend as being the best of the best, so we got in touch, they came to our home, a value was established and we got under way. Their marketing and presentation was extremely professional, absolutely first class. The cost was reasonable and they did a wonderful job.
We consider them now as friends.

Mick & Lynda Tupp - Birkdale

We were asked by our friends in England to help market their property in Birkenhead and so we decided to go with Lisa Molloy as we had known her personally for years.

Having spent years in real estate myself I am very critical of how properties are marketed.

We were so impressed with how professional she was, She put forward the most amazing video on Trademe which, with all the other information, gave prospective buyers access to any details they needed.

After only one weekend of open homes we received an unconditional offer and consequently the auction was brought forward and resulted in another buyer bidding. The amount the property sold for was incredible and resulted in very happy vendors the other side of the world.

Thank you Lisa and Ian - it was a joy to deal with you.

Judy Spalding

I would like to thank Ian and Lisa whom sold my property recently. Their dedication, commitment and enthusiasm along with keeping me informed with their daily phone calls was very reassuring. They are both honest and hardworking agents and I would not have any hesitation in recommending Ian and Lisa for both selling and buying a property.

S Burnett - Verbena Rd, Birkdale

Many years ago, I explored the option of selling my family home. Ian Molloy was the salesperson I contacted and I was immediately put at ease. Ian has an exceptional ability to build rapport and trust. After much thought, I decided not to put my house on the market and Ian was not at all phased at my decision to not move forward with the selling process.

Fast-forward 18 years, I began the process again to sell my family home of 33 years. Ian Molloy was the first person that came to mind. He is a man of integrity and kindness. I was also fortunate to meet Lisa Molloy - together they make a powerful team. Lisa is bubbly and approachable with a keen eye for detail. She is incredibly skilled in the art of communication and diligently kept me informed.

Ian and Lisa's thoughtfulness and sensitivity was greatly appreciated. Their care, dedication and commitment to me is more than I could ever ask for. They have a wealth of expertise, knowledge and experience and have treated me with the utmost respect and compassion, ensuring that the whole process flowed effortlessly and was efficient and hassle-free.

The outcome of the sale of my home far exceeded my expectations and reflects the determination, commitment and focus Ian and Lisa gave. My family and I will be forever grateful to them.

Thank you Ian and Lisa

A Norman

Lisa and Ian Molloy exhibited sheer professionalism in their handling of our recent house sale. They guided us through all the steps and made a daunting process manageable. Within a short time their thoughtfulness and kindness has made them our 'new best friends'.

George & Rosemary Stevenson

Lisa was so supportive and honest from day one of our house-hunt. She helped us put together a realistic plan of how to get into our first home. Lisa made this daunting process seem not so scary, my husband and I had heaps of fun with her seeing plenty of homes around the Shore and Rodney.
I know if it wasn't for Lisa we would not have won the property that we have today! Thank you so much for all your time you put into us. We will be sure to come back to you in the future.

A & E Nicholas

Lisa was a great help to us when we were buying our first home. She was very realistic with our expectations, providing much needed insight into the property market and ensuring we did not waste our time on properties that were outside of our price range. She took us through endless open homes and provided continued support once we found a place, with useful suggestions of lawyers and building inspectors, ensuring the whole transition went smoothly.

Alyssa Wells & Doug Sainsbury

Ian Molloy has something rarely seen these days - integrity. We truly appreciated Ian and Lisa's thorough and professional sales process and felt we had the strongest sales team we could have had. The communication was exceptional, the marketing was outstanding with stunning photography of our property. They also gave great advice, which we followed to our benefit. We feel they went the extra mile
and genuinely cared about helping us realise the best possible price for our house.

Alex & Dan Coffey - Glenfield

Ian & Lisa Molloy are experts in property on Aucklands North Shore. My wife and I originally purchased from Team Molloy 6 years ago, Since then we have received regular market updates on how our area and how property is tracking, visited numerous open homes/private viewings and have had open communication all hours of the day and night regarding the sale and purchase of property. We recently listed & sold our first home with Ian & Lisa because they understand us and our needs and we trust their advise. Sometimes I think Real Estate agents can be stereotyped in a negative light - Ian & Lisa are cut from a different cloth and have a genuine interest in their clients.
Thank you Team Molloy on behalf of the Heard family, you're legends and we appreciate all you have done for us!!

Mike & Helen Heard - Unsworth Heights

A friend of mine suggested that I give Ian a call re selling my house in Glenfield, he said that Ian had fantastic knowledge of the Glenfield area, was honest and reliable. (I must admit, that I didn't have a high option of real estate agents up until I got Ian & Lisa to give me an appraisal). To my surprise it was a very easy decision to list the house with Ian and Lisa. They made me feel very much at ease, and were by far the best salespeople. It can be a very stressful time selling your house, especially close to Christmas. Lisa and Ian took all the stress away and made the whole process very easy for me and the house sold within a week. I could not recommend Lisa & Ian highly enough. They are professional, trustworthy and honest, they will understand your needs, give you all the information that is best for you, and will make it fun at the same time - I really don't know how they do it. If you are lucky enough to get Lisa & Ian in to sell your house, you won't be disappointed . Thanks very much Lisa & Ian, it was a real pleasure.

Joanne Hunt

Just over a month ago my husband and I contacted a number of agents with regard to the selling of a rental property on the North shore. Ian and Lisa were the last agents we met and it was a quick decision to go with them and Barfoot and Thompson. The sales process was clearly outlined to us, a fair and thorough appraisal of the property provided and sales information from similar and/or nearby properties presented. Within a week the house was on the market, with the first open home shortly after. From start to finish Ian and Lisa handled the process impeccably - from dealing with the tenants of the property (and the neighbours) professionally and with empathy, to providing us with timely and clear feedback and updates. After a 3 week campaign, the house sold under the hammer exactly where Ian and Lisa appraised it to be. Their unique partnership ensured that both residential and investment buyers were attracted to the property and most importantly were ready to bid on auction day. As busy parents of young children we very much appreciate the time and stress we were saved by selling with Ian and Lisa and wouldn't hesitate to work with them again. Thank you both.

Satisfied Vendor - Birkdale

Thank you Ian and Lisa for 'taking me on' and working to sell my property. As an absentee vendor, I was grateful for the continual communication throughout the marketing campaign and the work that went into obtaining the result on auction day. Deciding to sell was a big decision 'made easy ' with the knowledge and professional skills that I experienced from listing to selling with Ian and Lisa Molloy. THANK YOU.

Rebecca Bogue

We recently engaged the services of Ian and Lisa Molloy to sell a property. Ian and Lisa's whole approach, their advice, follow through and marketing, and their liaising with us, was excellent.
We were kept fully informed throughout the entire process, including on the day of the auction and we felt as if we were all working as a team. The result was a very successful sale, with no hassles or problems. We would chose to work with Ian and Lisa for any future real estate buying/selling and would definitely recommend them to others.
Our thanks to them both for a really good experience.

Jennie Leary (also on behalf of Warren Spindler)

"Seven years ago we purchased a house through Lisa Molloy. At the time we found her fantastic. She listened to our needs and presented us only houses that would meet our requirements. She was efficient and represented us well during the purchase process. So when it came time to sell our house we immediately got in touch with Lisa. She set in place a great Marketing program and gave us good advice on how to maximise our value. Lisa and Ian have a great knowledge and the Albany area, and worked together well as a team to help us through the sale process. This included representing us in dealings with the tenants in the house, as well as during negotiations with prospective buyers. We would recommend both Lisa and Ian to those wanting to buy or sell a home."

Micah & Meenal Gamman - Unsworth Heights

"Could not fault the service from commencement to finish. Thank you Ian and Lisa for a job well done."

Rosemary Bridge - Glenfield

"I came across working with Ian as Lisa Molloy contacted me after I went through a Barfoot & Thompson open home, They both came to my house to do an appraisal, I found them to be the best agents I have dealt with, they each had their strengths and worked very well together. Ian was the listing agent who conducted all the open homes, while Lisa worked very close with me in helping me find a new house! Overall my experiences with Ian, Lisa and the whole Barfoot & Thompson team exceeded my expectations."

Daniel Currie - Houston Place, Glenfield

"I have known Ian for several years. In my opinion he has a very good feel for the area, he is very honest and trustworthy, and I cannot fault the service that he provided."

John McIntosh - Stanley Road, Glenfield

"We have know Ian and had dealings with him for over 20 years, buying and selling properties. We have found him very professional and hard working, and he has achieved the results that we were
looking for."

Gary Cooper - Mairangi Bay

"We contacted Lisa looking for help buying our first home, after a glowing referral from a family member. From the first contact Lisa took the time to ask what we wanted, talk about where we wanted it and get a feel for 'us' as a family. Lisa has an amazing talent for finding 'the one' and once found - she was our number one advocate, advice giver and cheerleader through the settling process! We have been in our home for over 8 months now and we STILL talk about how right Lisa got it when she found us our home. We tell anyone who is looking for a home about her skills and level of service, and will do so for quite some time!"

Chris & Emma Hannent - Birkdale

"My husband and I started out working with a number of different estate agents, none of whom could seem to grasp our very specific requirements, until we met Lisa. We very quickly decided to work solely with Lisa based on her excellent communication and ability to interpret our needs. Our needs and budget requirements were very specific and I imagine finding us the property we did eventually settle on (which we are extremely happy with) was a somewhat frustrating process, but we certainly never felt that from Lisa who was always happy to go above and beyond to assist us. In addition Lisa was very supportive throughout what was a difficult settlement (due to the vendor) which was greatly appreciated. Thank you for all of your hard work and support in finding our wonderful new home!"

Kerry & Brendan James - Manuka Road, Glenfield

"I purchased my first house from Ian and Lisa in 2004. Since then, I have purchased 3 more through them and sold 2 as well. Ian and Lisa have been honest and professional in all my dealings with them. Ian has sold both houses very quickly and without fuss - while at the same time Lisa was busy searching for our new abode. Both of them make buying and selling a house a stress free and easy process.
I would highly recommend using Lisa to help you find your next house - her inside knowledge was invaluabe in purchasing each property. When it comes to upgrading to the next house, I will definitely be calling her again."

Guy Lincoln - Sartors Ave, Browns Bay

"Lisa and Ian helping us sell:
We felt in the safest of hands with Lisa and Ian - at every step of the process we felt they explained clearly what the options were and what would give us the best outcome. Their advice on how to present our house proved its weight in gold when we literally received our first offer three hours after our first open home! We've already recommended their service to several friends all of whom got the same sales result - complete happiness."

Aimee & Gavin Brock - Torbay

"Lisa helping us buy:
Lisa helped us find and purchase our first little home in Glenfield 7 years ago, and we were so happy with her service, we never even considered asking anyone else to help us when it then came time to move on and find our perfect long term family home. Her amazing attitude and ability to network with other agents to negotiate a purchase is what puts her miles ahead. She really listened to what we were after, and then wasted no time at all starting to identify opportunities with hot properties and work her contacts. When it came to our purchase, she went the extra mile to represent all parties' best interests, and scrupulously ensured the contract ual process was clear. Our new home is our dream home and Lisa has gone on to help several of our friends and family buy theirs too. We can't recommend her highly enough."

Aimee & Gavin Brock - Deep Creek Rd, Torbay

"When we purchased our house in November 2011 we found Lisa to be friendly, knowledgeable and professional. She showed us good quality houses that matched our search criteria. She provided local insight to locations and never tried to hurry us in any of our decisions. We were recommended to contact Lisa by a work colleague who purchased her house using Lisa's service and I've since referred her to several friends who have also found just the right home they were looking for. I will continue to recommend Lisa and will ask her to help us again when we look for our second house!"

Nova Kellicut & Anton Wicken - Seaview Rd, Glenfield

"Lisa was wonderful to deal with. Being a busy woman, I did not have much time to arrange appointments to view properties. Lisa took all of the hassle out of the process, and would email us updates every day of new properties on the market. She also took the time to sort out any issues, and chase up outstanding requirements. Being our first home we did not have much knowledge of what was required, and were very grateful to have Lisa's invaluable experience to draw upon. We would highly recommend her services to our friends and family."

Sonja Glover - Brian Crescent, Stanmore Bay

"We cannot speak highly enough of your staff at the Glenfield Branch and their level of expertise and professionalism especially Lisa Molloy.
She has been priceless and has worked tirelessly even though we were on the verge of giving up she somehow managed to find us a property that suited us and our future needs. All this whilst in France and trusting her over the phone and internet.

She has made the purchase of our first home so much easier in a sense she could relate to us and know exactly what we wanted and worked for "us" on our behalf. We cant thank her enough and we would like to also thank you for getting your staff involved in helping me and my family find and buy a home whilst we are on the otherside of the Globe which is no easy task."

Tamato & Joy Leupolu - Tetrarch Place, Totaravale

"The service and personal attention we received from Lisa Molloy while searching for a new home and selling our current home was exceptional!!!
Lisa contacted us after we went through an open home. From that day forward, we were in daily contact. She organised everything to get our house sold, as well as finding our new dream home. She understood our needs and really listened to what we wanted in a new house and never tried to push us into something that didn't work, which is something I really appreciated!

We managed to get the right price for both properties (selling and purchasing) and this was all down to Lisa.

Lisa really restored my faith in real estate salespeople after having some not so pleasant experiences in the past. Regardless of whether you are buying or selling, I would highly recommend Lisa. We could not have asked for a better salesperson to guide us through the process."
