Elite Award Winner, Rising Star of the Year, 2018

I operate my highly successful business from my office in Auckland’s Eastern Bays. Winning numerous company awards, I have distinguished myself industry-wide as a top achiever with more than 300 local sales amassing an accumulated $500M in transactions.

For five years in a row, my achievements have secured me No.1 Individual Salesperson for Barfoot & Thompson Eastern Suburbs Region and No.1 Salesperson for the Mission Bay branch. In 2023, I was ranked No. 1 Individual Residential Salesperson across the entire company.

Back in 2018, I was Barfoot & Thompson’s Elite Award Winner - Rising Star of the Year and at the same time finished in the Top 3 in the Industry awards as the REINZ Residential Salesperson Rising Star of the Year. All signs of the success that was to follow.

My achievements come from a strong work ethic, a drive to succeed and a commitment to deliver a positive real estate experience. I know what makes people tick and I work with passion and enthusiasm for my clients. My thorough knowledge of the local area and willingness to help people no matter what, translates to consistent repeat and referral business.

From the smallest apartment to multi-million-dollar development sites, I adapt and recalibrate to suit the circumstances – constantly delivering brilliant strategies for the innovative promotion of any property, with outstanding results.

Working as an individual salesperson, I draw on the support of my partner Vanessa who provides marketing and administrative back-up along with a crew of top real estate subcontractors for the staging, photography, videography and content marketing of clients’ properties.

What my clients say

Aaron was a pleasure to work with - he has an easy and open communication style, effective negotiation skills and a huge network to draw from to achieve great results. This is our second time working with Aaron. We would definitely recommend him.

Vendor - St Heliers, September 2024

We recently engaged Aaron to sell our home in St Heliers.
It was a pleasure dealing with Aaron. He was very professional throughout the journey and his communication with us was impeccable. Aaron and his marketing team did an incredible job on making our home look amazing when we went to market. This generated huge interest in a very difficult market and ultimately sold our property well above CV!!. We were most impressed with Aaron and would not hesitate in recommending him as a great salesperson and one who will work with you to gain the best possible results.....thanks Aaron.

Vendor - St Heliers

We had the pleasure of working with Aaron Foss to sell our cherished home. We couldn't be more grateful for his hard work and exceptional service. From the very beginning, Aaron was calm and efficient and he guided us through each step of the process with a clear and steady hand. Selling your family home comes with stresses but Aaron did all he could to make the experience feel much smoother. What truly stood out though, was Aaron’s trustworthiness. We always felt that Aaron had our best interests at heart, offering honest advice and never pushing us into decisions that didn’t feel right. In an industry where trust is key, we felt completely confident in his guidance. We would wholeheartedly recommend Aaron to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Vendor - Meadowbank, November 2024

"Aaron Foss was exceptional to work with! His communication was excellent, keeping us well-informed throughout the process and managing all the day-to-day tasks seamlessly. What truly set Aaron apart though was how he handled critical negotiations. His experience and skill in these clutch moments delivered results beyond our expectations, securing terms that we were extremely pleased with. We highly recommend Aaron for his professionalism and expertise."

Vendor - Meadowbank, July 2024

“Aaron Foss recently sold our house in Orakei. When I first met him (while looking for another property), I found him to be far more genuine and personable than I had experienced with other salespeople. His approach at that time made me confident that he should be the person to represent my property sale.

Throughout the whole sales process he was very helpful, positive, professional and communicative. His marketing was also a step above the others, which seemed to help get the visitors through.

I am very happy I chose to sell with Aaron. He would be my first choice as a salesperson if/when I sell again, and I highly recommend him to my friends.

John - June/July 2024

We chose Aaron Foss to sell our home because of our experience as buyers, and we could not be happier after having him sell our house. We first met Aaron at an open home for a house we were interested in, and appreciated his understated approach to working with buyers. Aaron is polite, listens more than he talks, and does not appear to put any pressure on buyers, while always firmly and wholeheartedly working for his vendors.

After months of meeting countless other agents at open homes, and finally purchasing through another agency, we were in absolutely no doubt as to who would be best to sell our home.

Aaron’s social media presence is strong, his team is excellent, and the experience of selling with Aaron Foss was seamless and straightforward - a well oiled machine. Feedback from friends and neighbours who came to our open homes was very good - some noting particular reasons they liked Aaron, and ultimately, our buyers were also impressed.

After a three-week campaign and 40-50 groups through our home, we went to auction and we were able to sell under the hammer.

There is no question we would sell with Aaron again, and if we were to look for another house, would also ask him to assist us in working with other agents.

We highly recommend working with Aaron and his team.

Megan & Blair

Aaron is Outstanding. He is an excellent marketer especially via social media and his video presentations. He is a dynamic communicator both through his advertising and throughout the selling process with us. He works hard and often emailed in the evening. He has an easy way when you meet him and when conveying information. He doesn’t give up and is determined and very confident about making a sale. He goes above and beyond and exceeds expectations. He is the best.

Trelise & Jack

Aaron worked with us to market our property and his attention to detail was terrific. He guided us through the process and provided advice on what we needed. He is honest about what can be achieved and has a keen sense of the market and buyers.

If you want a hassle-free sale with great results, I would highly recommend using Aaron.

Terence - December 2023

At our first meeting, Aaron Foss said he had the feeling he could sell our house in a week. And that's exactly what he did! All without the arrogance and BS that a lot of high achievers display. We would engage him again without hesitation.

The Zlatarevic family - December 2023

I appreciate your skills, calm confidence, your extensive local knowledge, your wide contacts and your ability to inspire potential buyers to become bidders at the auction. Your clients are fortunate to have chosen you.

Juliet - November 2023

We want to take this opportunity to thank you for your professional work in representing us and delivering an awesome result for selling our family home! We are very pleased with the outcome and the quality of engagement we had experienced working with you. Thank you once again.

Wendy & Charles - September 2023

Aaron skilfully guided us through a very successful sale of our long-term family home. Personal circumstances conspired to make our sales journey more complicated than it might otherwise have been, but Aaron brought a thoughtful, measured and calm approach to the process. He is utterly professional, patient and never pushy; we cannot recommend him more highly.

Jeremy & Jackie - September 2023

I would highly recommend Aaron Foss. He took on our family's estate sale and despite encountering some challenging situations, we had a fantastic result. He is a very hardworking agent, whose professionalism is always at the forefront.

Vendor - September 2023

We were looking for a highly professional, straight-talking person who would get the very best results. From the beginning, Aaron was clear and precise, he managed all the details and made everything easy for us right up to Auction day.

We are very happy and would highly recommend Aaron.

Mel - Vendor - August 2023

I have worked with Aaron on three different occasions recently, as a vendor and as a purchaser, and have always found him to be very professional. In stressful situations he is quietly working away to get the best results, while remaining considerate and empathetic to all parties. Aaron has been a pleasure to deal with at all times, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

John - July 2023

I have both bought and sold via Aaron Foss and can confirm that I found both sides of my journey extremely pleasurable. He was easy to communicate with and kept me well-informed, he's very well mannered and honest. I would personally use him again without thinking twice and would highly recommend him to others.

Sunvi - July 2023

We engaged Aaron to act as real estate salesperson as he was based locally, at the Barfoot & Thompson Mission Bay agency.

I found Aaron to be trustworthy and dependable, with an in-depth knowledge of market conditions in the Eastern Bays. Having a salesperson who was locally based was a great advantage.

Aaron advised and arranged an advertising package that met our budget and displayed our home to best advantage. He consulted us regarding suitable times and the regularity of open homes. He was always punctual and we felt confident he would display our house safely.

Aaron’s communication regarding feedback and any developments was appreciated. He determined buyer-interest early on and concentrated his efforts on those who showed enthusiasm. A family he identified on their first visit were the eventual purchasers.

I would recommend Aaron to market your home.

Kerry & Colin - June 2023

We had the pleasure of working with Aaron to sell our family home in Glendowie during a very challenging and turbulent time. Aaron is a true professional, dedicated with a very calm presence. He was always prompt, informative and provided excellent communication throughout the process. His marketing plan and social media presence ensured our home was promoted widely to prospective buyers.

I highly recommend Aaron to anyone considering selling or purchasing property in the Bays and look forward to working with him again in the future.

Carol Cooper - June 2023

Aaron - thanks for all your hard work over the last couple of months with getting my property marketed and sold in a challenging and turbulent market. Having a solid sales strategy, together with well-grounded information and reliable market insights, was key to making decisions and getting a result. Thanks again for all your effort

Michael

Aaron is a very calm presence in what can be a stressful process. Aaron’s experience and knowledge of the housing market meant we were confident in taking his advice but at the same time he was happy to make changes if we needed them. Aaron is a great communicator and very professional in his approach. 

His marketing plan and use of social media platforms ensured our property was widely seen. Aaron secured a great sales result for us in a very short time period. I would highly recommend Aaron to anyone looking for a stress free sale or purchase.

Trish - September 2022

We asked Aaron to sell our family home in November 2021. We were in a hurry to sell prior to Christmas and Aaron was so helpful in getting our property on the market. He was motivated, honest and had great suggestions for getting us the best possible price for our home. He guided us through the auction process and was always on hand to answer any questions we had. He was just as helpful when it came time to handover of the property to the new owners. We feel very grateful to have had Aaron manage the sale process for us and we have already referred him to family and friends since then.

Kate & Lloyd - June 2022

We have had the pleasure to work with Aaron twice in the past. We first met when my partner and I bought our first property in 2019. We were nervous about the process and had met many salespeople who were pushy and disingenuous but we found Aaron very polite and honest, a refreshing change! When my parents wanted to sell their Mission Bay property in 2020, I was more than happy to recommend Aaron to them. Their property was a tough one to sell and my parents did not make easy clients! But Aaron was patient and professional. He gave excellent advice, had great knowledge of the area and was so easy to communicate with. He even found documents in the property files that added value to the house we didn't know it had. Thank you Aaron for all your hard work. We only have great things to say!

Mia - October 2021

Aaron is a true professional with a relaxed and genuine style. Nothing was a problem for Aaron, he made the sales process simple with positive guidance throughout. Aaron has a great understanding of the local market and constantly kept us up-to-date with viewers feedback and potential properties for us to purchase. We would highly recommend Aaron to anyone considering selling or purchasing a property in the Bays.

Steve & Rosie - July 2021

Our rental property was marketed unsuccessfully by another real estate agency three years ago. Aaron touched base with us at the time but we decided to remove the house from the market.  Since then, Aaron has stayed in contact with us. When we decided to sell the property this time, Aaron was the only salesperson we wanted to use. His success in selling houses in the Bays and his reputation preceded him. 

Aaron’s quiet, controlled nature as well as his vast experience and network, helped sell our property with a pre-auction offer being made and then superceded with a vigorous auction which exceeded our expectations.

We would have no hesitation in recommending Aaron to anyone wanting to sell their property and when we come to sell our family home will definitely be contacting Aaron.

Vanessa & Mark - September 2021

Aaron came recommended to us by friends and we have no hesitation in recommending him as well.  He is very polite and professional in every way, assisting us with preparation of our home and his accurate appraisal, presentation and marketing of our property resulted in a timely and successful sale.

Mary & Max W - July 2021

We had a challenging property for Aaron to market, which was evident with the number of interested parties falling through. This didn’t phase Aaron and his dedication and professionalism was impressive. He didn’t sugar coat or give us any exaggerated expectations and was in constant communication throughout the process. He stayed relaxed and positive at every twist and turn! I would highly recommend Aaron as your chosen salesperson – you won't be disappointed.

Paul & Kat - June 2021

We would like to express our satisfaction with the service which Aaron provided, to sell our property in Orakei while we are living in the UK. We were pleased with his proactive approach and professional way in which the property was marketed and the sale process was moved forward. The whole experience was stress-free, and more importantly, the house was sold for more than we had wished for within 10 days!

Ran & Chris - October 2020

Having worked with Aaron on the sale of our Remuera property (June, 2020) during all of the uncertainty of Covid, I can thoroughly recommend him. He is authentic, dedicated and results oriented.

Aaron is professional but highly personable and caring in his approach. He is credible and knowledgeable of his market (providing an incredibly accurate estimate of sale price), and utilised the best and most up-to-date tools at his disposal as well as his extensive network to ensure a good outcome was achieved.

In addition to providing guidance through what is already a stressful process, Aaron was managing a sale process as an unfortunate result of a relationship separating. His communication throughout was top notch, setting realistic expectations but also keeping all parties informed at all times which made the sale process easy with no surprises.

Aaron's many professional accolades are clearly well deserved. His proactive approach ensured all open homes and the auction had strong attendance from engaged buyers and this resulted in a sale at auction $200k higher than the purchase price only 12 months prior.

Aaron, thank you for your help, care and dedication. I look forward to working with you again.

Hannah Ealson - August 2020

Aaron was recommended to us by a friend as a top salesperson when we were selling our property in May/June of this year. We were not disappointed. Aaron presented us with excellent advice and an impressive and innovative marketing plan, he was professional and courteous. Our property sold very quickly with a pre-auction offer. We would recommend Aaron and Barfoot & Thompson unconditionally.  

Steven & Margaret Norman - June 2020 

Aaron was recommended to me by a neighbour as an excellent agent when I was selling my house last September/October. I was not disappointed. He was courteous and very helpful as I had not experienced the real estate market for nearly 30 years. His energy was amazing and he was very helpful with ideas to market my property. My property sold very quickly with a pre-auction offer. I can recommend Aaron & Barfoot & Thompson unconditionally. 

Sally Goldstone

Aaron carried out a very successful campaign to sell my mother's home in St Heliers in late 2019. She originally met Aaron when he was out meeting local neighbours one evening, and my mum instantly called me to say she had found the perfect man (to sell her house that is!). We met with Aaron and I agreed immediately that he possessed all the talents we felt were necessary - he was local, young and enthusiastic but equally importantly he could obviously sell. His track record spoke for itself. After only the first week of open homes, Aaron had a buyer for her. Aaron talked my mum through the process making sure he was clear and straight which was really appreciated due to my mum being in her 80's. The auction was brought forward and there were two very happy people in the auction room that day - a very happy vendor and a thrilled purchaser who cried with happiness. We can whole-heartedly recommend Aaron, if you want results and professionalism, he is the man for the job.

Mary-Lou Duder

Thank you Aaron, it was so nice to work with a real professional on the purchase of our new home and especially the sale of our property in St Heliers.   The efficient and enthusiastic manner with which you conducted our campaign achieved an excellent result at Auction.  You were constantly in contact with us and kept us up-to-date with everything, nothing seemed to be too much trouble which was very comforting.

We would without hesitation deal with you again in the future and confidently recommend you to both family and friends. 

Paul & Donna Davison

Aaron Foss was recommended to me as a good land agent when I was first considering selling my property. I found Aaron to be well presented, a focussed, well organised and quietly confident person.
Until I was ready to put the property on the market, Aaron kept me informed of house property activity. At the point of being ready to sell, Aaron was very efficient, informing me promptly of all the requirements and procedures. During the short time marketing the property, Aaron was punctilious at keeping me informed of all movement and supplying me with summaries of numbers attending and comments, both positive and negative, after each open home. He was always very approachable, responding to my questions and queries, both before and after the sale.

Aaron worked energetically for the sale and I wish him well in his future career in the real estate business.

Eleanor Percy - September 2019

Hi Aaron. I wanted to let you know I am very grateful for the way you conducted the sale process for our family home and how you treated my Mum over the last three weeks. Although we were very happy with the sale result for Mum, I felt I should personally thank you for treating a single older lady with the utmost respect and was grateful that she always felt comfortable and that you had her interests at top of mind. You communicated regularly and made all effort to help her through a process she hadn't ever had to go through.

A sale price does not reflect how good an agent is, that's dictated by the product and the market, which agents have little control over. Agents should be judged by their integrity and how they conduct themselves. Your boss should be very happy with you.

Andrew Boyd 16/10/19

We can definitely recommend Aaron based on our experience as vendors and we would definitely take advantage of his expertise again should the need arise. He is enthusiastic without being pushy and very focussed and works hard to produce a sale. Aaron, to his credit, does not allow potential roadblocks to stall the process.

Edith & Harry Cross

I first met Aaron when I was searching to buy a property. He was very helpful and proactive and while I didn't purchase our property with him when it was time to sell my house he was the obvious choice. He listened to me and our situation and didn't go down the usual auction route. Instead he opted for a sale by negotiation approach which was successful within a matter of three weeks being on the market. His style and approach is very relaxed, informal but very effective in terms of results.

Anneka

We met Aaron when he was selling a house we were potentially interested in. He was engaging, informative, interested and chatty without being pushy. Aaron had some great ideas for marketing our home which he proposed respectfully and put forward suggestions that we hadn't considered to widen our exposure to the market. This was a difficult situation for Aaron as we didn't have time for a full campaign. During this time it was easy to feel like we were his sole clients (not the case!). His communication was immediate and thorough and he handled transactions between the sellers and us with aplomb and respect for both parties. We were really thrilled with the outcome and would definitely seek Aaron out to deal with in the future.

J & L Somerville

The performance of our Agent, Aaron Foss who we had the pleasure of working with was absolutely outstanding. We met by chance and Aaron was immediately impressive. Not pushy, quiet, matter of fact, and quietly confident that our property would sell, even though it had been on the market previously with another company and did not sell. Over the past 50 years we have bought and sold several commercial and residential properties and in our opinion Aaron Foss would be one of the most professional agents we have worked with. Aaron was very well prepared asking for information and reports on our home as well as making suggestions to ensure we had the best possible chance to achieve the price we were happy with. During the negotiations with three prospective purchasers Aaron was very well supported by Teresa Weiss the Branch Manager of Mission Bay branch. Aaron kept in touch with us after the sale and we are very happy to provide our personal testimonial. We have already passed his name on to a number of friends who are planning to sell their homes in the near future. We wish Aaron all the best for his future.

Judith and Graeme Kelly

Aaron was a brilliant help when finding and buying our house recently. During the search we met Aaron many times at various open homes and, whilst those houses weren't right for us, Aaron was great at following up with more suitable options for us to see. We felt like he really looked after us and knew what we wanted. Thanks for making the process so seamless Aaron! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Aaron whether you're buying or selling.

Rebecca and Shannon

I met Aaron when enquiring about a property a couple of months ago. Aaron kept in touch with possible options for me in the area and made sure each option lined up with most of my wants and needs. I really appreciate that Aaron listened to what I was after and presented me options based on that. I recently purchased my home through Aaron and I couldn't be happier with it - there isn't a single box that was left unticked! Aaron made the process far less stressful than most with his professional, friendly and extremely helpful approach. If and when I decide to sell in the future - I'll definitely be in touch.

Thanks again

Carolyn Koppens

"Thank you very much for selling our house. We really appreciate all your effort that went into getting the house ready and most certainly the outcome - the service we got from you was top notch. Everything was seamless for us and being so far away that made all the difference to our experience. If anyone asks for an agent, we'll certainly be sending them your way!"

Tim & Lily James August 2018

We highly recommend Aaron if you're looking to sell your home in the Bays. He's professional and honest and made us feel like we were in safe hands. Aaron created a heated campaign to sell our property with a large number of people through our home. We sold at auction and we were very pleased with Aaron's approach. He is easy to talk to and always open to suggestions. We never felt pushed into anything. The decision-making was in our hands, yet Aaron guided us through the process and was dedicated to selling our home within our short timeframe. Thanks Aaron.

Katie and Tony ChapmanMany thanks

Aaron - You are so personable, professional and someone I feel I can trust - all very important when buying such a valuable asset.
Regards

L

Aaron recently sold our house. He went above and beyond to get the price we wanted. Aaron understands his clients and is a true professional. I would highly recommend Aaron to anyone thinking of selling. Five stars.

Rebekah

Aaron was a pleasure to deal with. His enthusiasm, vision and energy were unquestionable. Throughout the sales process he was responsive and focused. We recommend him highly to any vendor.

Lee & Tim Smyth

Professional; Informed; Helpful; Communicative; Honest (yes really!). What else can I say about Aaron Foss? Throughout the whole process of him marketing my property and also assisting me in buying my next family home Aaron displayed all of these characteristics. I cannot recommend him highly enough, if you are looking to either sell or purchase a home you can't go past Aaron. He is one of the good guys!

Sandy

Just a few words to describe our experience in dealing with you as our Agent in selling our property in St Heliers. We found you a very professional individual who is extremely passionate about your work. We felt that you were very informative about the process from the start to the finish. You have a very good handle on the use of the marketing tools whether it be photos or the use of social media and that you maximised the use of these tools to get the best out
of the market. You also dealt well with pressure we gave you to produce a result for us and of course got us there! We would have no hesitation in recommending you!
Many thanks

Neil & Wendy

"It is with great pleasure that I share my experience with Aaron Foss. I had the privilege of working with Aaron as my realtor when looking to buy a house in Meadowbank. Aaron's knowledge about real estate is multi-faceted and he most certainly does more than the average agent does, he went far beyond what I expected of him. I appreciated his ability and willingness to advise and help me throughout all steps of buying the house. Aaron was there to help and support me in every possible way. I would not hesitate to recommend him to any person who is looking to buy or sell a home, as well as seek his service in any of my future real estate transactions. While I have worked with few people I have never before encountered such a level of excellence, which truly set him apart from those whom I've dealt with previously".

Saraby

As our life changes so do our requirements and after making the decision to move back to Auckland ( part time ) we were faced with the daunting task of what should we be looking at.
We did the normal thing looking at advertised homes and apartments thinking we could do this easily on our own, simple!
Because we had a 3 hour drive out from Auckland we tried to incorporate as many open homes and viewing as possible over the weekends. This was not going the way we hoped as all we seemed to be doing was confusing ourselves driving around and not staying within our limits.
One of our main requirements was the location had to suit us both, with separate wish list's we tried to narrow down areas which were suitable, it was obvious that we needed help.
We meet with Aaron Foss from Barfoot and Thompson Real Estate, this is who we were after, a professional person who knew the areas with great product knowledge.
One of the interesting aspects of Aaron's approach was the way he put together a workable plan based on what we were after, this gave us confidence that he was genuinely working with us for our best interest.
Quickly doors were opened and our search narrowed, this was were I feel that Aaron excelled for his recommendations and suggestions eliminated valuable time and effort to both parties concerned.
We would talk to Aaron regularly keeping us up to date with any new listings.
Then he sent through a listing that he thought would be very suitable and suggested a viewing.
He was absolutely bang on, after only an hour we both new this was the place, perfect, and we ticked off all of our requirements from the plan that Aaron was working from and went through the process of purchase.
Could not have been more impressed with Aaron's work ethics, friendly approach and what a great personality,
Would I contact and use Aaron again, of course this is not a question I would have to ask myself again.

John & Janet Westray

Not only is Aaron's communication second to none, he understood us and our requirements completely. It took two months to find and buy our lovely cosy home, and during this time Aaron was in constant contact with ideal houses for consideration. It was clear to us that Aaron really knew the market, really knew the ins and outs of buying, and most importantly, really knew how to connect with us. Buying a home is such a personal task and Aaron navigated us though every step of the way.

Kristian and Sarah Klette

Aaron' you are a true professional!
We want to thank-you so much for your advice & help in finding our very first home in the Auckland market! You made the process smooth & easy, your honesty and professionalism is something we really appreciate.
We would highly recommended you to anyone buying or selling! Thank-you
