About Jade Kim

Your Trusted Real Estate Partner for Over 20 Years

Originally from Seoul, South Korea, I hold a degree in French Literature, Linguistics, Journalism and Broadcasting from Sogang University, where I graduated Summa Cum Laude. Since moving to New Zealand in 1992, I have been a proud resident of East Auckland, deeply engaged in the local community and real estate market.

Before moving into real estate, I pursued a career in education, teaching Japanese to college and adult students. I hold a Diploma in Teaching Secondary and Tertiary Education from the Auckland College of Education, now the University of Auckland. My background in education refined my strong communication skills, a critical asset in real estate negotiations and client relationships.

In 2005, I made the leap into real estate and within a year, I was recognised as a top salesperson in my company. Since then, I have consistently ranked among the top-performing agents, driven by my hard work, professionalism and dedication to my clients. In September 2020, I joined Barfoot & Thompson, where I continue to achieve outstanding results through expert negotiation, strategic marketing, and an unwavering commitment to client success.

I am well-respected within the local Korean community, and my extensive network has played a key role in achieving record-breaking sales. I firmly believe that integrity, honesty and professionalism are the foundation of my success.

My clients frequently describe me as “trustworthy and reliable”, a recognition I deeply value. Fluent in English, Korean and Japanese, I am well-equipped to assist a diverse range of clients. Whether you are buying or selling, I am committed to delivering exceptional service and results.

What my clients say

Jade was a fantastic partner when selling our home. She was attentive, supportive and helpful throughout the process of selling our first home. From the first meeting to the very last step, she was an amazing partner who went above and beyond to help us stay informed and supported.

Despite the timing of the marketing of our home in a tough market, she was always positive, and encouraging and worked incredibly hard to attract interested buyers quickly and successfully completed the sale of our home.

We are really grateful to have Jade as our salesperson and we unreservedly recommend her!

James & Jimin

We bought and sold this house through Jade and Richard. Over the 10 years, they always communicated professionally with detailed explanations and prompt responses. They are trustworthy and have sound knowledge of the market. You won't regret working with them - we are also looking forward to working with them again.

Jina Shin

Just a quick note to acknowledge the service provided by both Jade and Richard during a process that resulted in our purchasing of a home they were marketing.

We appreciated the friendly nature of both Jade and Richard and their honest approach to conversations that protected the position of the vendor whilst also being realistic. We found Jade and Richard to be accurate in our dealings with them and this was assisted by what presented as a strong work ethic. The diligence applied by both Jade and Richard was evident in what became a relatively easy transaction and we were grateful for their support.

Tracey

Jade Kim was a really capable salesperson. She planned everything very well and did it accurately. She always made her clients smile and had positive thoughts.

Even though the real estate market is in a bad situation these days, she worked hard, so she had good results. With her quick action, she quickly set up open homes, and with her excellent ability, grasped the needs of the buyer well, and with her sincere explanation, she was able to get a counter-offer right away.

So, 10 days after the first open home, I sold the house in a very early period of time. This was due to Jade's quick judgement, behaviour, and sales ability. Thanks to her, all my family are so happy.

Next time I buy or sell a house, I'll ask Jade Kim to do it.

Steve Ahn

We sold and repurchased property a year ago with Jade. It could be very stressful process but because of Jade's support, the transaction was smooth and we found a family home that we really wanted. She understood the market situation and trends and has excellent negotiating skills. We have no doubt that Jade is the best realtor we've ever worked with.

Highly recommend !!!

Heather & Tom

Throughout the whole process of selling our house and finding our new home, the professionalism from Jade really left us with a great impression. The prompt responses, constant feedback from open homes and the guidance provided, gave us comfort and confidence. We are very thankful for the great outcome. We would highly recommend Jade to anyone who needs advice on property.

Jane

“I first met Jade 15 years ago. I purchased and sold many properties through her and she has provided me with clear and evidence-based advice of the property value and has delivered an extraordinary results. And of course her diligence and kindness is never to be forgotten.

Her high quality professionalism especially prompt response, feedback and answers to any questions I ask at any time, has always given me trust and confidence in her service.

Jade is an incredible woman, no doubt. I highly recommend.”

GS Kim & JH Park

Selling a rental property in this market can be quite difficult and stressful. But it was such a pleasure working with Jade Kim to sell my property in Flat Bush.

Initially, I was not sure which salesperson to work with from Barfoot & Thompson. I have listed this property through other agents in 2018 and 2021 but unable to achieve the desired outcome. When I saw a house sold by Jade at a very good price last year opposite my house, I wanted to give it a go. I contacted Jade and explained my situation. She was extremely patient, kind and committed. After receiving a few market appraisals from a couple of agents, I was quite determined because the one from Jade was really detailed and tailored to my specific needs in terms of marketing.

After the agent agreement was signed, Jade visited my property a few times, keeping a record of all the issues in priority order and proposing solutions and timeframes to tackle them. I was so impressed by her dedication and professionalism. Even when the handyman was on-site doing property maintenance work, Jade visited multiple times to give feedback on what can be further improved. She did all these with a clear goal in mind - present this property as best as she can and sell it at the best price possible. Furthermore, she arranged carpet replacement and professional photography, gave her advice on the furniture setup to the staging company, etc. She always had a very clear plan of action, which made the process incredibly easy for me.

Not only does she truly understand how to market and sell a house, but also keeps the lines of communication open with me at every single step to allow me to have a peace of mind. As a result, Jade sold my property within two weeks of listing, with multiple offers. Even post sales, she helped me find the cheapest locksmith to replace the key and arranged the job. Also, she even offered to sell my appliances and furnitures that were not needed by the buyers.

Jade was so supportive and helpful with everything even beyond her scope of work, just because I told her at the beginning that I lived on North Shore with a newborn and it was hard for me to travel to Flat Bush on a regular basis.

I was extremely happy with this result and the whole process. She’s the best salesperson that I have ever worked with. I would not hesitate to work with her again in the future or recommend her to any friends and family when it comes to property sales and purchase.

Eileen

Jade was excellent to work with when selling our family home and purchasing our new home. Her approach had the perfect balance of professionalism and personality. Right from the start, Jade was totally professional, caring, honest and most of all, always available. Her communication throughout the selling and buying process was exceptional.

We highly recommend Jade and would definitely use her service in future.

Jade's competence and capability appear to have been unfairly and significantly underestimated during the course of her 15-year-long career as a salesperson. In the absence of a well-deserved positive feedback in English from customers due to them being majorly of Korean descent and becoming hyphenated Kiwis, however lacking the ability to supply her with testimonials in English unfortunately.

Hence my testimonial as an hyphenated, English speaking Kiwi.

I recently purchased a couple of properties with the help of this pleasant lady, who was very attentive and also responsive to our needs and wants in terms of property investment.

We achieved what we wanted thanks to this lovely lady who I would recommend to anyone and everyone dreaming of making a fortune through real estate.
