Janene Hopkins & Angela Howie – we are a Team! Between us, we have been marketing and selling property for nearly 47 years, and our success in the business can be attributed to:

Our Communication Skills Clear and transparent communication is the key to building solid relationships. We listen to our clients - then tailor our advice to suit their goals and what they want to achieve. The process can be stressful and sometimes exasperating. We make sure every client knows what’s happening every step of the way so they can be confident in making the right decisions.

Marketing Techniques We understand what separates a good marketing campaign from an outstanding one. We work alongside our clients to ensure they have the right strategy, taking into account any unique features of the property, the current market and any budget constraints. Our skill is in presenting a home in the best possible light and promoting it in all the right places to attract the right demographic.

Negotiating Skills The business end of a sale is where our negotiating skills come into play. A win-win for all is the only outcome and our outstanding track record is evidence of our prowess in this area.

Janene I have a long-standing relationship with the Hibiscus Coast. Holidays with my grandparents at Stanmore Bay were always a highlight for me. Not only did I enjoy the beautiful Bay but I learned some valuable sewing techniques from my Gran!

Working on this beautiful coast doesn’t feel like a job. If I’m meeting clients to show them a property or checking out a vendor’s home to prepare it for market, wherever I look, the view is stunning - a coastline of gorgeous beaches and sea views! Heading home feels like I’m going on holiday!

Speaking of holidays, time-out for me is sneaking away with my husband in our renovated retro caravan.

Angela I’ve been working from Barfoot & Thompson Whangaparaoa for 11 years now, and like Janene, I love the area. It’s like constantly being on holiday. Originally from the Dominican Republic in the Caribbean, I came to New Zealand in 1987. Why New Zealand? My future husband, a Kiwi, was cruising the Caribbean on his sailboat and the rest is history. Hibiscus Coast is my home. We live on a boat and when we want a holiday, we go on a cruise, in our boat!

Over the years, we’ve been through many property cycles. Our focus is on achieving the best possible sale price, in the shortest possible time-frame with the least amount of stress.

Call or email us at Barfoot & Thompson Whangaparaoa. We’ll ensure that our collective skills will weave some magic for you and your property dreams!

What my clients say

Janene acted as our agent to sell our house quickly due to relocating back to the UK in time for the school term. Despite wanting a quick sale, we didn't want to compromise on the sale price as every dollar counted to our relocation costs. Janene did a fabulous job with the task, not only selling our house within eight weeks, but also worked with our buyer to negotiate a fantastic price for our cliff top, sea view house. She worked tirelessly to meet our deadlines, was so lovely and personable the whole way through and did a fabulous job. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

Nikki & Joel Buckley

My wife and I would like to thank Janene for the professional manner in which she handled the purchase of our house when we moved into the Browns Bay area. With her kindness and attention to detail we felt very comfortable with the way the transfer of the house, and with advice on the necessary documentation, was handled. We became family friends and when we made our next move closer into Browns Bay, we naturally gave the work to Janene. We have no hesitation in recommending Janene and Barfoot & Thompson to our friends, or to use Janene again if the need arose.

Roy & Eva Simmons

We were introduced to Janene on strong recommendation from friends of ours when looking to purchase a family home.

On meeting Janene, her professional, confident and friendly persona immediately put our minds at rest. Her quick grasp & understanding of our budget and the type of property we were seeking left us feeling we were in very capable hands.

On viewing properties, I was immediately impressed with her knowledge of the demographics, style and structure of the various properties shown. Ultimately, what impressed us most was her absolute honesty. She pointed out the strengths and weaknesses of these properties and having purchased numerous properties in the past, it was the first time we experienced working with an estate agent whom was generally neutral in both the buyers and sellers interest with the ultimate aim of achieving a satisfactory outcome for both parties.

We would strongly recommend Janene to both prospective buyers and sellers of residential property.
