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.
