James Doole | Residential & Lifestyle Property Expert Barfoot & Thompson Remuera

I was 21 when I began my real estate career, quickly gaining traction in the industry through strong negotiation skills, attention to detail and an intuitive understanding of what drives value in residential property.

After several successful years in sales, I took time away from real estate to run a highly regarded interior design and development firm — working on luxury homes and multi-unit commercial and residential projects across Auckland. That experience further sharpened my eye for presentation, design and the potential within every property.

Returning to real estate with Barfoot & Thompson Remuera, I now specialise in premium homes throughout Auckland’s central eastern suburbs, as well as lifestyle and coastal properties in Matakana and the surrounding coastal area.

My approach is polished, hands-on and deeply client-focused - combining market knowledge, design awareness and strategic insight to deliver outstanding results.

Discreet, detail-oriented and always available, I take pride in guiding clients through high-stakes property decisions with clarity and confidence.

You’ll find me at Barfoot & Thompson Remuera – give me a call!

What my clients say

In a nutshell, James is really easy to work with. Thorough research and knowledge of our property, constantly in communication, always answered the phone or called back. Very patient and confident. No bullshit! Best salesperson I've ever worked with!

Alastair Cumming - Vendor, Hibiscus Coast Highway

We picked James because we were aware of his listings and thought they aligned with our house. At our first meeting, he was prepared and he was caring and careful to manage our expectations of the sales price. There was no hyperbole, just a commitment to do all he could. The sales process was exceptional he contributed to the house presentation, gave amazing feedback from viewings and kept us completely informed. Post sale, he stayed in touch and helped us work through all the after sale details. James is exceptional. We truly appreciate all he has done for us, we value his integrity and how easy he made this for us.

Peter Blackwell - Vendor, Harbour View Road, Point Wells

James is incredibly knowledgable and current with the market place. James has a unique ability to work with, understand and negotiate successfully with a broad range of personalities. We found him very passionate about his work and works extremely hard, is caring, kind and thoughtful throughout the process, while not ever afraid to cut to the harder conversations with honesty. We found James to be consistently thorough in his communication, we heard from him frequently with updates and ultimately resulted in a successful sale. We would highly recommend James for anyone buying or selling and look forward to working with him again.

Sascha & Nigel Mortimer - Vendor, Sharp Road, Matakana

James was easy to work with in his capacity as a professional salesperson in terms of communication and resultant actions getting the sale across the line successfully in a difficult market. Not forgetting Safiya who too has been a communicative professional to work with.

Gavin Campbell - Vendor, Parnell Road

We wanted to find a salesperson and selected James to meet us as his name kept popping up on TradeMe and other platforms selling some lovely properties in the area, plus his sales stats looked good! When we met James he came across as professional, educated and with an experienced background in real estate. He was composed, articulate and informative but without any of the pushy sales talk that we had experienced in the past. We decided straightaway to appoint him!

James continued with his professional, quietly confident but friendly approach and during the sale process of Frost Road, he never made us feel as if we weren’t in control of our property or choices. In fact, he was an absolute pleasure to deal with, a breath of fresh air! James has a way about him that is understated but hugely connective and he is so impeccably presented - all the time. His smile is magnetic and we would welcome him into our home at any time, feeling completely comfortable and at ease conversing with him. Trust is hugely important with a real estate salesperson and James built this up quickly, reading the situation and subtly managing our expectations.

An absolute credit to your organisation, a superstar in our eyes and someone who gets excellent results!! He is and will continue to be a game changer in this area - we certainly felt like we were in a good team with James.
