Aaron is the best real estate salesperson in New Zealand. He is very professional, nice to deal with and makes buying a property in Auckland stress-free. It’s been a real pleasure dealing with him. He deserves all the awards he receives, more power to Aaron 👏👍

"God you are good!"

Aaron is a true professional. He made purchasing my first property as stress-free as possible. I came into the process with no knowledge of the buying process and Aaron helped me every step of the way. He was extremely personable, flexible, had incredible communication and was willing to help with any query I had at the drop of a hat. What a guy!

You are the best real estate salesperson I’ve ever met and not just because you’ve sold two of my places and found me two others. But because of your attention to detail, your personal attention, your follow up, honesty and professionalism. Thank you Aaron, your award was well deserved.

"It was a privilege to have Aaron Cook manage the marketing and sale of my Auckland apartment. His advice, in a most difficult market, was invaluable. That, along with his trademark enthusiasm and attention to detail resulted in the asking price being met by the purchaser. Aaron, I'm so very grateful for your work, your excellent communication and proven expertise.

From the moment Aaron picked up my phone call he was nothing short of amazing. We were let down by another agency, so Aaron made it his mission to make our selling experience a pleasurable one. He set expectations and used his extensive knowledge to give our property the best chance to sell. His communication was outstanding and we always felt like we were kept up to speed. Thanks for your amazing service, Aaron - I highly recommend him if you're looking to sell in central Auckland.

I'm delighted with my apartment and even more delighted that the third floor continued to be an office/commercial rather than apartments.

Thank you for your good wishes and my congratulations on your recent award. I wish you continued success. You are well mannered, polite and kindly whilst being efficient and professional in your profession as a salesperson. I'm delighted to have dealt with you in my first property purchase as a widow. Best wishes!

I was very satisfied with Aaron Cook's success in selling my apartment in a tough market under conditions I was under pressure to sell and obtain the funds. Aaron was methodical and left no detail unattended to, going over and beyond his formal duty. He kept me motivated during setbacks, patient in rectifying my own slips and misunderstandings and, more important than anything else, negotiated fiercely to get me the best price even when I was ready to settle for less.

I would gladly recommend Aaron to anybody looking for a highly motivated and competent property salesperson and would surely work with Aaron on any of my future property sales or purchases.

Thank you, Aaron.

I was so impressed with Aaron's expertise and professionalism when selling my apartment. The market was tough, but he had a clear understanding of the current conditions and developed a go-to-market strategy that was spot on. Within two weeks of listing, we had an offer that was very close to the asking price! Aaron was always available to answer my questions and kept me informed every step of the way. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. He truly knows his stuff!

"We are writing to recommend Aaron Cook as a highly skilled and professional realtor. We had the pleasure of working with Aaron during the purchase of our new apartment in central Auckland, and his expertise and dedication made the process a pleasant and successful one. From the very beginning, Aaron took the time to understand our needs and preferences and provided valuable insights and guidance throughout the entire process. He was always available to answer our questions and address any concerns we had, and he made sure to keep us informed every step of the way. Aaron’s knowledge of the local real estate market is truly impressive. He guided us through the negotiation process. In addition to his expertise, Aaron also demonstrated a high level of professionalism and integrity throughout the entire process. He always had our interests in mind and was completely transparent in all of his dealings. We highly recommend Aaron to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. He is an expert in his field, and his professionalism and dedication make him an exceptional realtor.

"We purchased a property from Aaron, who was fantastic to deal with and very transparent. Aaron is upbeat, full of energy, and always quick to respond. Every message he sent ended with, "I look forward to being of service," and he truly meant it. He consistently demonstrated how a good salesperson can add real value, insight, and even fun to the buying process. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a property and would use him again without hesitation. I can’t speak highly enough of him!

"Aaron, you have been a gem to work with in both selling our 1920’s bungalow and buying a new build apartment. We have felt so supported by your enthusiasm, regular updates, personal touch and advice through this massive life transforming process. Thank you.

"Aaron is a breath of fresh air. Amazingly upbeat, full of energy and always super quick to respond. In fact, he’d often anticipate our questions before we asked them! He definitely restored our faith in real estate agents and continually demonstrated how a good agent can add real value, insight (and even fun) to the buying process.

Every message he’d send would end in “I look forward to being of service”. And with Aaron, this wasn’t just lip-service. He was simply outstanding in terms of his level of commitment, honesty, market knowledge - and most importantly, communication.

Throw him a question, an issue or a challenge, he was unflappable and prompt with a friendly, informed response.

We definitely felt he was acting as our ally to secure the property of our dreams. We’d have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. We’d use him again in a heartbeat. We can’t speak highly enough of him!"

"We recently had the pleasure of engaging Aaron to sell a high-end luxury apartment in central Auckland. Aaron loved the property and requested a marketing budget of a level that he considered would be needed to do the job. We agreed and within two weeks after generating several serious purchasers, the property was sold unconditionally. We have no hesitation in recommending Aaron. He is very professional, enthusiastic, and a positive person. Aaron you’re a star and a pleasure to deal with!

"Firstly I think his name might be misspelt – it should be A+ron Cook. Seriously good at accurate and quick communication, Aaron never left us unclear or hanging for updates. We have used his services many times and will do so again. Such a pleasure to be listened to, advised when needed and his joy of life and his love for real estate makes every interaction a pleasure. He never wasted our time, was always prompt and such a pleasure to deal with. A+++ron Cook might be more accurate."

"Thank you for your enthusiasm and welcoming nature expressed towards me while I was searching for the right property. After my first meeting with you, at one of your other listings, it gave me the confidence that you were going to find the right property and indeed you did!

Good luck ahead and I'm sure many other potential clients will have the same pleasure in finding their dream property as I did."

Having sold city residential real estate for around 37 years, Fay and I are well versed in the requirements of a competent and successful real estate salesperson. When recently selecting the person to sell our current city apartment and knowing this was a harder market in which to sell, Aaron Cook was a stand-out. He worked professionally, diligently and persistently to achieve not just a sale but at a price that reflected the higher value our apartment deserved. Key ingredients are Aaron’s positive and optimistic outlook on life, understanding his clients’ needs, great communication and his years of experience in successfully selling Auckland city real estate. We fully recommend Aaron. 

Call me if you wish.

"It is my pleasure to write a testimonial about Aaron Cook’s expertise in his role as a real estate agent. I have now worked with Aaron twice, both as a purchaser and, most recently, as a vendor. In both transactions Aaron was conscientious, communicative and helpful and gave a clear impression of working hard in my best interests. His clear understanding of the Auckland market and the process of buying and selling property, enabled him to give sound advice which meant that both transactions went through smoothly, and at prices that were both agreeable and realistic. I highly recommend Aaron as an enthusiastic, personable and committed real estate agent who displays understanding of the needs of his clients and integrity in his work ethic. Thank you for your excellent work, Aaron - it was much appreciated.

"I have dealt with Aaron as both a purchaser and seller, so I have a really good insight into the way he manages the selling process. Aaron is very well-organised and has a wide circle of contacts. He is very diligent at following up with potential purchasers and he kept me in the loop at all times. Aaron has a very positive outlook and goes out of his way to assist all parties. He was calm and relaxed during final negotiations. Throughout the whole process, I found Aaron’s guidance invaluable."

We purchased a property that Aaron was selling. He was fantastic to deal with and very transparent. Nothing was ever a problem and he was happy to go the extra mile to get us what we needed. Would highly recommend Aaron. Thanks for all your help.

"12 months ago, my wife and I decided we had enough of Auckland Central and that we wanted to shift out, so we got a hold of a very reputable land agent. He failed us totally. In eight months he achieved nothing, never even came back to us with an offer, so in the end we got hold of Aaron Cook of Barfoot & Thompson. Aaron turned out to be absolutely wonderful. He was the exact opposite to what we had experienced from the other agent. He was punctual, he was on the ball and within two weeks we had offers on the table which is something we had not experienced before. In fact we finished up in a multi-offer situation much to our delight, and one of them came to fruition so we are now shifting out of our apartment thanks to Aaron. Once again he did a very professional, wonderful job and I would recommend him to anyone."

"We highly recommend Aaron Cook if you are buying or selling real estate in Auckland. He gives honest advice, keeps buyers and sellers informed weekly, understands marketing and is trustworthy, reliable and well-informed, as well as polite and pleasant to deal with. We got to know him when we bought our apartment through him some years ago, and went to him again to sell it for us recently, which he did to our satisfaction."

“I write this as a recommendation for Aaron Cook who sold our apartment in Autumn 2023.

Aaron provided thorough communication every step of the way. After each open home and viewing we were provided insight into each potential buyer's thoughts on the property and budget indications.

We trusted Aaron with our property and appreciated the feedback he provided during the process. This resulted in a great unconditional sale in a tough market.

Would recommend Aaron as the salesperson to sell your next property.”

In late 2022, the apartment market had faltered and I needed to sell one. So I went to the expert who has facilitated apartment sales for my wife and me in the past - I went to Aaron Cook. Aaron's integrity, focused attention, enthusiasm and sound advice have only improved with time. He communicated every step of the way, so even though I was out of town, I knew exactly what was happening - when viewings were planned and their outcome, including viewers' comments. An unconditional purchase topped off a great experience. I couldn't have had a better person working on my behalf.

"I write this as a recommendation for Aaron Cook who acted for me in the selling of my apartment in The Quadrant in Auckland Central.

From the time of signing the agreement with Aaron in August 2022, until the sale of the property in September, Aaron acted with utmost honesty and informed me clearly and with good advice on marketing, pricing and the state of the market which was difficult at this time.

He has kept me informed at each stage and a satisfactory result was achieved for me in good time.

I appreciated his friendly and helpful responses to my various questions and would recommend him without hesitation and his professional approach in the whole process." -

"Thank you for your services in selling our apartment on Vogel Lane and achieving a record price for the ALPHA Apartment Building. A cash buyer, and a quick settlement was really "the icing on the cake" for us. We have been very impressed with the service we have received from you both, from the time we listed the property right up to the sale settlement. We were kept fully informed with comprehensive updates every few days from Jaye, and lengthy telephone conversations with Aaron when we debated the state of the market, and the adjustments we needed to make to the asking price. Aaron's negotiating skills were responsible for the purchaser raising his offer by $25K to meet our "bottom line" price. This was an exceptional effort in the current difficult market conditions.

We are truly grateful for your efforts on our behalf."

"Aaron is a very competent salesperson who provides excellent professional service We would use him again."

Thank you both so much, for helping Nicola and I successfully sell our apartment, in a difficult market. We really appreciated your approach, right from our initial discussion where you’d clearly done your homework on an optimal sales strategy for this market, and realistic but ambitious pricing guidance that was objectively supported by the deep apartment market experience you offer.

The viewings phase was well organised and low stress for us, with the prompt communication leaving us feeling well informed of progress. Ultimately, you delivered us an offer aligned with the upper end of what you said we could realistically achieve, and sellers can’t ask more from their salesperson than that. Very happy with our experience selling with Aaron and Jaye.

Aaron and Jaye are highly professional, straightforward and transparent in their dealings. They provided market insights and data to back any decisions we had to make during the sales process. I felt respected and able to ultimately make my own decisions throughout the process of selling my property. In the end we were able to sell at a price I was happy with in the challenging Auckland market. I would be more than willing to work with them again and would highly recommend them.

"I was extremely happy with the service Bianca and Aaron provided. The apartment I sold was in Auckland but I live in Te Anau. Bianca and Aaron went out of their way to make the whole process easy for me. Their advice proved excellent (two other apartments went up for sale in the same building as mine at exactly the same time - mine sold for a good price well before the other two), and their communication was clear, regular and informative. Couldn't have asked for more!"

"We are grateful to and impressed by the expertise and perseverance of Aaron Cook and Jaye Xu (Barfoot & Thompson), in selling our apartment in difficult circumstances, brought about by the Covid epidemic which virtually closed down central Auckland where our apartment stood. We can recommend them to potential sellers and purchasers without hesitation."

We have employed Aaron and his team to sell two apartments over the last few years. On both occasions, we have achieved unconditional sales within a few weeks of listing and at prices within the range given for the appraisals. We have received excellent service on both occasions and would recommend listing with Aaron if you were considering selling your apartment.

Aaron and Jaye were always helpful whenever there was a question that I had. They did a great job in helping me prepare the property for sale, and keeping me updated. I would highly recommend Aaron & Jaye for buying or selling your home.

Aaron's energy, work ethic and expertise in the off-plan sales arena is top in class. He's an all round great guy as well and I would not hesitate to recommend him.

“A friend advised me to sell privately. I am very glad I didn’t. During the process of buying and selling, several sizable and unexpected issues came up. Aaron’s expertise, prompt and thorough communication were of critical importance, while his warmth and conscientiousness were so comforting amid the legal and procedural uncertainty. Aaron really went beyond his contract and delivered generously. And he is charming to work with!”

We first tried to do it ourselves, and then we opted for flat-fee real estate. It became quickly evident you get what you pay for, so we decided to go with the best. Not only did Aaron get our property sold within his designated timeline, he came in with a plan, a can-do attitude, thorough research, and excellent marketing. The only regret we had was not calling him sooner! We could not have done it without his wealth of experience, something crucial to have in the competitive real estate market. We are so thankful to Aaron Cook, and highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell or buy a property.

"Great service, found a buyer seamlessly. Top marks."

I found listing with Aaron an effortless and friendly experience. Being a first time seller he and his assistant Jaye, guided me through the process each step of the way with clear concise communication and professionalism. He was keen and enthusiastic from the beginning to the end of the sale. Aaron had a good handle on the Auckland apartment market and I felt delivered all that I asked for in a timely and efficient manner. I would have no hesitation using Aaron in the future.

All the best and thanks again for your help.

We have both bought and sold an apartment from Aaron Cook. We have found him to be thoroughly professional, honest, kind and most importantly effective. He was very truthful about the likely sale price achieved. We would not hesitate to recommend him to buyers and sellers alike. We highly recommend him as a salesperson.

Warm regards

"Just want you to know that you are not just an excellent real estate salesperson but also a great mentor that I always look up to. I really appreciate your kindness and generosity. It has helped Luke and I grow dramatically over the past few years we've been working closely with you."

"Aaron is patient, careful, a good listener and thorough. He always responded. Thank you. He never gave up... a difficult market."

"Aaron went above-and-beyond to help us find our first apartment. Aaron helped to door knock for us during a very hot market and successfully convinced an owner to sell to us - he made the process so easy, he communicated very well and pushed so hard for us. We felt listened to and understood. We are so lucky to be settled into our new home now, knowing this wouldn't have happened without Aaron."

Recently we purchased a property through Barfoot & Thompson. Throughout this process we dealt with Holly Huang and Aaron Cook. At all times we found Holly and Aaron to be friendly, helpful, well-informed and professional. Holly and Aaron acted on our behalf with speed and accuracy. Once we viewed the apartment and decided to purchase it, our offer was accepted and the contract was prepared and finalized within the same day.

Holly and Aaron were able to advise us on other areas regarding our purchase. This included the installation and purchase of utilities, furnishings etc.

We would have no hesitation on recommending Holly and Aaron and Barfoot & Thompson to anyone and we would certainly be happy to use their services again in the future.

We made the decision to find a new home and a change of lifestyle at the start of 2020. As part of this process we looked for someone who was interested in us and what we were looking for. Aaron and Holly ticked all these boxes at the start, even though they knew we weren't ready to buy. They listened and gave us excellent advice but quietly went away and found some options for us to consider. This meant that Aaron really understood what we were looking for and when the time came, he presented us with a couple of options that were perfect for what we were wanting and meant the buying decision was much easier. Aaron was so patient, organised viewings at times that suited our working hours, and even updated us at hours of the day when we wouldn't expect. They responded to questions quickly and worked hard all through the process to get a good outcome.

I would not hesitate to recommend Aaron and Holly. They are simply one step ahead of the others we met through our journey, and take the time to understand needs, both known and unknown.

Aaron and Holly were the perfect team to assist us with the purchasing of our very first apartment. We were in unfamiliar territory, however Aaron and Holly were able to answer and guide us through all the questions and situations presented with dignity and respect. Aaron's sense of what we were looking for was spot on, and we went with the first apartment he showed us, and Holly's ability to seem available at any hour of the day to arrange inspections, answer any queries was phenomenal.

Will not hesitate to use both of them for future purchases.

I wish to commend Aaron Cook and Holly Huang for the effort and service they provided to my wife and I with regard to the purchase of a property on Beach Road, Auckland Central.

They were most helpful and patient when showing us the various apartments and providing us with information. A big thank you to them.

Sincerely

Aaron and Holly were excellent to deal with. Our experience was seamless from start to finish and the result was better than expected. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Both Aaron and Holly were easy to work with, great communication and achieved a good result. Thank you both.

I first dealt with Aaron and his team in 2015 when he sold my late mother’s house, getting an excellent result. When it came to selling my own house, I had no hesitation in engaging Aaron and Holly again. They came up with a tailored marketing campaign during the difficult Covid 19 climate, and carefully and politely explained my options and likely results.

They were totally professional and kept me informed all the way with the result that my house sold pre-auction within a few days of going on the market.

I can thoroughly recommend this charming, professional duo.

Kind regards

"Aaron and Holly are very enthusiastic and very effective. They listen and communicate really well. They are very proactive and are super-keen to provide excellent service. For instance, I needed a plumbing issue sorted in the week before settlement. Holly immediately offered and then organized the whole thing. As I live out of Auckland that made a huge difference. I got realistic advice about the sale price and sale method. This is invaluable, as there are plenty of salespeople with other companies that give over-inflated assessments to get your business, and always say that auction is the way to go. Aaron and Holly are friendly and people-orientated. They love what they do, and it shows. This is the second property they have sold on behalf of me and my wife. I'll definitely be looking for them when next in the market to buy or sell property."

We have recently undertaken the purchase of an apartment in the Auckland CBD. The Barfoot & Thompson salespeople for the vendor were Holly Huang and Aaron Cook.

We were treated in a very professional manner by them both. All appointments were met and their manner was always pleasant and considerate. As salespeople for the vendor, they nevertheless acted at all times in the best interests of all parties. We have no hesitation in recommending their services to any person seeking excellent real estate advice and assistance.

I recently and finally sold an apartment in a new building off the plans thanks to Holly's and Aaron's work. Because it was not yet finished and not open for viewing at the beginning of selling, it made the sale more difficult.

I had a real estate salesperson before Holly, who was not able to achieve anything within a long period of time. Holly and Aaron managed the sale within the limited time frame I had. Throughout the whole process they were very professional, friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. Emails were answered promptly by Holly and no question was left open.

Anytime I would deal with them again and highly recommend them to others. Thanks again a lot.

Aaron and Holly did an outstanding job in marketing and selling our City Centre apartment post COVID-19 and we can honestly say they made the whole process stress-free and easy. As well as organising for the apartment to be painted in record time and some damage repaired, they were very thorough and kept us informed every step of the way. Aaron and Holly provided an extremely high level of service and we would be more than happy to recommend them to anyone planning to sell their apartment.

Thanks for your efforts and attention to service in completing my sale. It was especially appreciated during the recent unprecedented times of Lockdown and uncertainty. 

Best regards 

We recently bought an apartment from Aaron and Holly and we are really satisfied with their service. This was during a challenging time of Covid 19, and we were thankful for their co-operation. They are professional, accommodating and helpful. Thank you both.

Hi Aaron. I purchased an off-the-plans apartment in Beach Road from you.  From the outset you were professional and efficient.  All my dealings with you were excellent.You kept all of your purchasers updated throughout the construction process.  I would have no hesitation in recommending you to any vendor or purchaser in the future.

Kind regards

Ngā mihi, nā

I recently bought an apartment from Aaron and Holly and I am really satisfied with their service. Both of them are very professional, accommodating and they answered my queries promptly. I highly recommend them. Thank you so much!

Holly kept us informed during a purchase negotiation, and her timely and concise communication was truly appreciated. It helped close the deal, benefiting both sides. Communication is where Holly excels. She ensured we were kept informed post purchase as well, during the completion of a new development. This made the process as stress free as possible for us.

We would recommend Holly whether as a buyer or seller.

Thanks

I highly recommended Holly and her team. They have helped me in my property journey and would definitely work with them again. Thanks heaps.

We bought an apartment from Holly and Aaron and throughout the whole process they were responsive, professional, friendly and efficient.  They both demonstrated a vast knowledge of the Auckland apartment market and my wife and I decided we would use them if we ever decided to sell an apartment because we would want our buyers to experience the same as we did.  We think they represented the vendor very well and that reflected well on the whole buying process.  

Aaron Cook kept it simple (the classic KISS) approach when it came to providing and enabling our family to settle our property in Auckland.  In regards to our journey on this transaction, we sincerely appreciated his professionalism, tenacity and his experience in being able to assist with closing the transaction through his extensive contacts meant that we were extremely grateful and satisfied with listing with Aaron and our sale.  If we ever needed to move again from one road to another, as life does change, we would be sure to engage Aaron again on what has been an exciting adventure, as he leads from the front, and stands out from the rest - as the best!  Thanks to Aaron and his very able associate Holly. Cheers Aaron and Holly.

Hi Holly and Aaron. William and I would like to thank you for your consistent professional practice in which you have provided guidance, advice and an outstanding communication commitment that has been timely and informative. 

Regards

I have dealt with Holly and Aaron for a number of years and found them both to be reliable, professional, efficient and extremely personable when dealing with property. As real estate can be stressful, you need an excellent team to handle the transaction. Holly and Aaron are the best salespeople I have worked with and thoroughly recommend them.    

This property had complicated issues associated with it, and along with various other restrictions that exist in the current climate, made it a difficult property to sell. Aaron and Holly understood the complexities and worked through these well with prospective buyers, and remained patient and communicated exceptionally well with me to make sure I was satisfied with a suitable outcome.

After having searched for an Auckland apartment within my price range for nearly a year, I had almost given up hope when a friend referred me to the Aaron and Holly team at Barfoot & Thompson. Within a week I had closed on the second apartment they showed me. They were impeccably informed and returned my queries immediately. I didn't have to continuously hunt down information. A comprehensive due diligence doc set, was sent to me at the flick of the keyboard which enabled me and my lawyer to make a speedy decision. I can honestly say they were way ahead of the competition. Look no further.

"Holly Huang and Aaron Cook went above and beyond to cater to our needs when we purchased our first home. They even promptly replied to all my questions while they were on holiday. The home purchasing process was less stressful with their help. I would look to them again if ever we're in the market for another property."

Aaron Cook and Holly Huang recently sold our apartment in Auckland city and achieved a great outcome for us in a slow and inconsistent marketplace. Throughout the selling process, we found Aaron and Holly professional and thorough in their approach to their work, and a pleasure to work with. We really appreciated their market knowledge, persistence, attention to detail, and great communication skills during the marketing process. Aaron & Holly are dedicated professionals - we have no hesitation in recommending them to both sellers and buyers
Many thanks to you both.

Holly Huang and Aaron Cook helped me purchase an apartment in town recently. They were prompt to respond to questions and proactively offer assistance to adapt clients' need, such as arranging meetings at time and places to suit my needs. Thank you for all your hard work, guys!!!

To state that we were impressed by Aaron Cook and Holly Huang is an understatement. We found the property we wanted but needed to sell an existing property within a short period of time which many would have concluded was not achievable. Without going into the details of the transactions, the results were achieved, with much of it being due to the impressive skills of Aaron and Holly, and a measure of good fortune. Throughout the process we found that Aaron and Holly presented matters factually and left decision making to us without any hint of pressure being applied. We found them to be personable but utterly professional in their dealings with us.

We recommend them highly. The results that they achieve consistently and to which others have also attested, speak for themselves.

I have recently had the very professional support from Holly Huang and Aaron Cook in the sale of my apartment in Auckland in what was a potentially uncertain market. They provided me with their expertise and obvious extensive knowledge of the Auckland market .They responded immediately to any queries I might have had which were considerable as an overseas owner. It was the support and factual information I needed to make informed decisions. The sale went through smoothly and a very satisfactory price agreed upon. There was no hint of being pressurized to rush into a quick sale which was much appreciated. I would recommend unreservedly potential vendors to entrust this excellent team to market an apartment with confidence.

We have had the pleasure of dealing with Aaron Cook and Holly Huang from Barfoot & Thompson. We were impressed with their professionalism, excellent communication and willingness to go the extra mile to ensure a great result. Aaron and Holly are knowledgeable and very experienced in the real estate business. Their service extended much further than the sale of our property as we were based overseas. We really appreciated their advice on the best approach to market the property and their understanding of our requirements. Aaron and Holly were recommended to us and we unreservedly recommend them to anyone who is considering selling their property.

I would like to express my appreciation on the purchase of a property in Auckland CBD. Holly Huang and Aaron Cook have shown quality service and fast responses which is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much. Keep in touch.

We have bought and sold many properties and been served by great real estate agents from Barfoot & Thompson over the years. However, our recent experience with Aaron Cook and Holly Huang in July-August 2019 has been simply outstanding. We found them to be authentic and realistic. They did not offer inflated expectations to get our business, just sound advice and great service. Their frequency and quality of communication was spot on: we always knew what was happening. When circumstances changed, they were flexible and listened. Getting a successful outcome was their intention - and they succeeded. Thank you both for being great people and great professionals. You guys are awesome!

We recently purchased an apartment in central Auckland from a vendor represented by Aaron Cook and Holly Huang. We were very impressed with the professionalism, commitment and drive that they brought to our transaction. Aaron and Holly make a great team. They are prompt in their dealings and nothing seems too much trouble. We would use them again and highly recommend them to others.

Aaron and Holly are very approachable, helpful and professional. Nothing seemed too much trouble, and they went out of their way more than once to assist us with our purchase. Their prompt and clear communication was exemplary. They managed our negotiation with the vendor very skilfully ensuring that the buying process went without a hitch. We would recommend them unreservedly. Thank you Aaron and Holly.

We have been absolutely impressed by your responsiveness and professionalism as an agent. You have been really quick to get back to us with the multitude of queries and have facilitated the answering of any queries we have had. We believe that you are everything a good agent should be and wish the same could be said for all your peers!

Aaron and Holly are friendly and business-like. They kept us informed at all times and successfully sold our home in a short period of time.

As my listing agents, Aaron and Holly maintained an exceptional level of communication through what turned out to be a very successful campaign. I was very satisfied with the level of professionalism demonstrated and I would recommend them to anyone trying to sell a property.

Aaron Cook and Holly Huang at Barfoot &Thompson were our agents in the sale of a large three bedroom apartment in The Stamford Residences in Auckland. They took care and planned for everything from pre-listing to the showing of the property and were extremely organised, detail oriented, and highly effective. Their hard work and diligence resulted in the successful sale of our property We couldn't be more happy with their representation, especially since they were managing the sale while we were overseas. Having worked with many real estate agents in the past, we 100% recommend Aaron and Holly as the best agents we had the pleasure of working with in New Zealand.

In September 2018 we contacted Aaron Cook with a view to sourcing an apartment in Central Auckland. We had a particular brief and we received an immediate response from Holly with a range of good options. On this occasion, we were lucky to identify our ideal option on our first tranche of viewings. Aaron and Holly moved quickly to draw up and present our offer, which was accepted that day. With respect to due diligence, we felt fully supported by both Aaron and Holly, with all questions answered immediately and any documentation required presented fully upon request.They clearly had a sound knowledge of the product that they were selling. On settlement day we were presented with a gift from Aaron, together with an ongoing pledge to supply any further support that might be required in the future. All in all, we found Aaron and Holly fantastic to work with and would have no hesitation in recommending them as agents.

It is with pleasure that I write to express my appreciation to Aaron and Holly. Having being in the real estate world for more than 25 years I was very judgmental of the three agents given to me as to who would suit and more importantly work for me. I chose Aaron and Holly. Without question they have exceeded my expectations for the very valued information they provided, the respect they they gave and their superb communication. In my view they are the best of the best. Thank you and all the very best for your real estate futures.

We met Aaron Cook and and Holly Huang during the course of looking for a new home and were impressed by their warm and friendly, yet extremely professional approach with clients. When time came to sell our home we knew exactly who to call!

Aaron and Holly make a great team with their wide variety of contacts and networks which are indicative of their resourcefulness. They made the whole process of selling our apartment as easy as it could be. Right from taking care of all aspects of marketing proactively, to giving sound professional advice, their services were invaluable. Thanks to their guidance and experience we got the pricing just right, so that we were getting the best possible price while still enjoying a reasonably quick sale.

Communication is one of the most important parts of such a major transaction. Aaron and Holly provided us with the most prompt, efficient and proactive communication we have experienced in any service industry, not just real estate. We were never left wondering what was happening as they kept us so well-informed with constant and timely updates. And they even helped us sell our furniture to our buyers which was well beyond the call of duty.

We would highly recommend Aaron and Holly for their high-quality services, and would be sure to approach them again when the time comes to sell our home again.

Holly and Aaron were a pleasure to deal with from my first viewing onwards. Communicative and timely in their responses and always happy to assist with any questions, their capability and attitude as a team made for a straightforward negotiation and settlement. They helped make my first property-buying experience an overwhelmingly positive one.

Aaron and Holly were great to deal with. Highly communicative and friendly. They definitely made the experience better.

Professional, prepared and personal is how we describe Aaron Cook and Holly Huang as they guided us to a successful sale of our apartment in a very timely way. They listened as we shared our hopes and expectations before realistically advising us on the best approach to take in marketing our property. We were impressed by their enthusiasm, energy and obvious love for what they do, which gave us confidence to entrust our future to them. They wasted no time in getting things moving and kept us well advised along the way.

Grateful, happy and satisfied is how we describe ourselves as we enter a new phase in our lives, thanks to Aaron and Holly. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for professional advice with a personal touch, hoping they gain the best results as we did.

We recently bought a property through Aaron and Holly of Barfoot & Thompson. Buying and selling a home is always stressful but Aaron and Holly were always available to answer questions and smooth the process as much as possible. Aaron is an excellent communicator both physically and digitally, listens carefully and responds appropriately. We hope to stay put for a long time now, but would use Aaron and Holly in the future and have no hesitation in recommending them".

It is our pleasure to write this testimonial for Aaron Cook and Holly Huang. They are professional, honest, succinct, very reliable and ready to oblige with any requests. Our whole experience was hassle free, delivery was spot on and we valued your input in the marketing of our property. We would definitely recommend Aaron and Holly to all our family, friends and business partners.

Holly and Aaron were professional, friendly and relatable at all times. They followed up at each stage of the process where appropriate which kept stress levels low. We were very happy with their level of service with both buying and selling.

I bought my first home through Aaron, so there was no question about who to use when it came time to sell! Aaron and Holly are experienced, friendly and give practical, knowledgeable advice. Aaron and Holly's after-sales service is second-to-none and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Thank you!

Thank you both so much for your help and encouragement throughout the entire apartment-buying process: you were both impeccably professional with all of the letter-of-the-law aspects of purchasing a place to live, and also wonderfully human around all of the fuzzy "is this right for us" aspects as well. Neither of us had ever done anything remotely on this scale before, and I don't think we could have done it without your help and support! We're incredibly happy where we are, and thankful to you both for everything.

"We were so pleased we had chosen Aaron and Holly to sell our Auckland apartment. They were always professional, kept us well informed every step of the way and found us a purchaser in just 3 days! We would not hesitate in using them again should the need arise, and would definitely recommend them to anyone thinking of selling in the central city. Thanks for all your help, Holly and Aaron."

Hi Guys. Congratulations on the sale! A later settlement to accommodate my studies truly made such a big difference to me, I can't really tell you how much it meant to be able to focus on getting my degree. Thanks for your respectful approach to me as well, it was appreciated.

If you're planning on selling your home and are searching for exceptional agents, look no further than Aaron and Holly. They are two incredibly hard-working professionals who are committed to delivering the best customer service possible. Aaron and Holly really know their stuff when it comes to selling property. They were outstanding at keeping us informed and updated throughout the entire process from getting our place listed right through to our settlement. Superbly reliable, knowledgeable, courteous and such friendly individuals too. We really appreciated all their help and expertise. We can't recommend them highly enough!

Thank you both Aaron and Holly for your assistance in purchasing our apartment. The service we received from you both of you was very professional, accommodating to our numerous requests promptly, all done with good humour and in a friendly manner.

Dear Aaron. Thank you and Holly for the lovely bottle of champagne you left in the apartment. We have celebrated with our daughter and her family who came in Friday night.Thank you too for your honest and attentive approach during the purchase process. It was appreciated.

I wanted to thank you both for all the help on selling our apartment and for putting up with my impatience (sometimes)
At the end it worked out really well.
You both work well as a team.

Aaron you were very professional and kept your cool all time.
One of the reasons we went for you is because long time ago we came to you regarding an apartment you were selling. The way you dealt with the whole situation was professional and tactful and you looked after your vendors interest. And I thought if I ever need to sell my apartment I know who to call.
Thank you for everything and all the best!

The agents who dealt with us were first class, 10/10.
Aaron and Holly were friendly, professional, and open with us. Any questions we had were followed up almost instantly. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble. They went out of their way to make sure our sale went smoothly. Would use them again in a heartbeat! This was our 14th house sale in our lifetime and believe me we have encountered some pretty shifty real estate agents! Thanks Aaron and Holly for your input.

Thanks for your Patience and Perseverance ... we all kept to the script and achieved a more than satisfactory result ... Ciao Ciao / Xie Xie Ni ..

Aaron and Holly were excellent to deal with. They made the whole process from marketing to sale easy. Would highly recommend.

Dear Aaron and Holly
We are writing to express our appreciation for everything you did for us during last two months. We are really grateful for all your hard work, honesty and professionalism. You have helped us to sell two properties very quickly and effectively and in a such difficult market. You helped us to make our dream come true:)) We believe Barfoot & Thompson must be very proud of you. My husband said he wanted to collaborate with you in the near future for our real estate business plan.
Wishing you good health and happiness:)
And keep in touch:)
Thank you very much and best regards.

Aaron Cook and Holly Huang were the real estate agents for the sale of our apartment. During the protracted sale process they were very enthusiastic and committed to completing the deal. They had sound knowledge of the market and were able to provide good guidance as to where and when the timing of open homes and placing of advertisements would be of most advantage to us. We thank them for their patience and persistence in completing the sale and know they have really earned their commission.

Aaron and Holly have been a pleasure to work with. We had been looking for a place we could call home and they helped us find one real quick. They were so helpful from start to finish. We wanted the property from the time we went to the open home and we have clearly expressed this to both of them. They were kind enough to ensure we purchased the property and totally recommend them to other home buyers out there.

Hi Aaron and Holly,
We'd like to say, having nearly bought through you twice and then ending up buying through another agency, that we have something with which to compare your service. You and Barfoots were the most professional and, out of all the agents we have dealt with over the last 12 months, we will be recommending you to anyone who is looking to buy or sell in the CBD.

A note of thanks to both Aaron and Holly for the sale of our apartment. While we have bought several through you Aaron in the past, this is the first time you have acted for us as agent of the vendor. We chose to list the property with you because of your market insight, contacts and professional approach to marketing and selling. The result is as anticipated and a credit to you both.

Aaron and Holly were extremely professional at all times during the purchase process. They turned round questions and information that I required very quickly in order for the sale and purchase to proceed on time. They were both lovely to deal with at all times. If I was selling my apartment, I would be listing with them.

I used Aaron for both the purchase and more recently for the sale of my CBD apartment. Each time I found his service exceptional. He gave me sound advice on the market, was very proactive in the sale, and also maintained good communication throughout the process, providing both email updates after viewings, and phone calls when indicated. As I live overseas this was especially important. I am happy to recommend Aaron to anyone needing help buying or selling their property. I will definitely use him again in the future.

"Thank you for introducing me to Aaron. He has done a truly wonderful job. I certainly know who I will call when I am next sellingt. In fact I would be very happy if you wanted to give my phone number to prospective clients who want to talk to previous vendors. I am more than happy to talk about the experience of the past month that lead to the successful outcome.
The way you approached the challenge - focused, logical, systematic and upbeat. Communication was clear and frequent. Always positive, with a handle on reality.
Selling a property is a big step and most people do it infrequently, which makes it fraught with stress and worry. You made the whole process way less stressful than I have experienced before. It felt like you allayed fears, and took me smoothly through a normally stressful process, to a successful conclusion, and without me feeling pressured or not in control at any stage. Thank you again ."

Our sales agent was a delightful man called Aaron Cook. So polite and yet very capable. He even gave me a ride in his AWESOME Nissan R35 GTR. Barfoot and Thompson were involved in the purchase and sale of two Auckland CBD apartments for us. I cannot fault them and would happily recommend them to anyone. Good people and a good company.

"Aaron, you have been nothing but professional through-out and have been great at keeping us informed of everything that was going on. You have been really approachable and easy to deal with, and we would most definitely consider contacting you if we need assistance with any other apartment sales in the future. I would also like to thank you for looking after our tenants through out this whole process."

"I would like to put in writing how excellent we found Aaron Cook and Betty Shao in the process of selling our property. Their approach was very professional and particularly pleasing how they dealt with the tenant living in the property. Their reports were frequent and helpful. I would like to nominate them for salespeople of the month or year if you have such an award. We would be pleased to have them put this on their website if they would like to do so. Thank You."

"Aaron was thoroughly professional, and realistically honest in what he thought our property would sell for. He then provided us with avenues to maximize the potential of our property and its sale, through a sound advertising campaign, coupled with exceptional staging of the property. This resulted in a sale price that exceeded our expectations. His feedback during the whole process was exceptional, enabling us to make key decisions that given our geographical separation from the property gave us a high degree of comfort that we were in very safe and trustworthy hands."

"Aaron came recommended to us to help sell our Auckland CBD apartment and he did not disappoint. He was professional, customer focused, kept us well informed at each stage and swiftly achieved the sale that we required. We would be happy to recommend his services to others. A job well done Aaron, and we wish you continued success with your future endeavours"

"As some of us already know selling or buying a property can be a very stressful time in life. Having Aaron on board as our agent has taken all the stress away for us. He has a very professional approach and will also help you with the little things like presenting the property. With his guidance and great attitude he helped us achieve a sale within a week of us putting our property on the market. If you want a sharp agent that will deliver results then Aaron is your man."

"Aaron was always very approachable to answer any questions, he followed up by phone following emails to ensure we understood what was being discussed as well as keeping us fully informed of changes happening within the Auckland property market, which was very helpful as we live outside the Auckland area. Thanks Aaron for taking the stress out of selling our property, we would not hesitate to recommend you to friends etc. Thanks a million!"

"I wanted to speak to somebody that was experienced and understood the Central Auckland apartment market. As part of that enquiry I spoke to a number of real estate firms, Barfoot & Thompson being one of them. I rang your head office and they referred me to you. We had a discussion and you forwarded me your listings and we went from there. I have to say Barfoot & Thompson offered the most professional service and your personal advice and integrity was quite superior to the three or four others that I also talked too."

"I would like to compliment you on your utmost professionalism and most of all your communicative skills. I have bought and sold many homes over the years and you would have to be one of the finest articulate agents I have ever dealt with. Never once did I have to contact you in need, because you always beat me to it, with your constant supply of keeping me updated with all the relevant information you had at hand, and I must say this is a rarity these days. Most of my dealings were with you direct as your wife Betty was overseas for most of the time, however initially I also had a lot of dealings with Betty also, and found you both superb working as a team. Betty was extremely efficient and I also found her to be at the highest end of being professional in all my dealings with her.
Would I deal with you again? HELL YES. !
What more can I say but thankyou, thankyou thankyou."
Warm Regards
