About Bharat Kumar

As Assistant Manager at Barfoot & Thompson Otahuhu, I bring over 16 years of experience to the dynamic realm of real estate. In my current role, I play a vital part in recruitment and training programmes. 

Being adept at navigating the intricacies of regulatory frameworks, I lead the charge in ensuring our operation aligns seamlessly with industry standards and legal requirements. 

On the recruitment front, I am committed to assembling a high-performing team. Identifying individuals who not only embody our core values but who also possess the drive to excel is a key aspect of my role. 

Recognising that continuous learning is the cornerstone of success in real estate, I take pride in orchestrating training programmes that empower our sales team. From honing negotiation skills to mastering the art of securing listings and sales, my goal is to equip our salespeople with the tools and insights needed to thrive in a competitive market. 

At the heart of my leadership philosophy is a commitment to fostering a collaborative and growth-centric environment. I believe in nurturing the unique strengths of each team member, encouraging a culture of continuous improvement and celebrating collective achievements. 

My professional approach is defined by a passion for excellence. I am driven by the belief that a well-supported and skilled team is the bedrock of success in the ever-evolving real estate landscape.

What my clients say

Bharat is the go-to person for me when it comes to the A-Z of real estate. His realistic insight on how the market needs to be handled is impeccable, which in turn helped me to be confident in my approach towards vendors and buyers alike. He coached me on various scripts and dialogues in-person, over the phone, using digital books for buyers and sellers and hard copies of the same, to help catapult my conversion rate for the better. I wholeheartedly recommend Bharat for his expertise, leadership and unwavering commitment to excellence and bringing the best out of people. Working with him is a privilege and if you’re raw as a stone and waiting to be turned into GOLD, he’s the man with the MIDAS TOUCH ....

Bharat is a perfect example of a Leader who leads by example. His knowledge and market intelligence have helped me immensely and I am proud to say that with his continuous help and motivation, I was able to crack two sales in the first two months. Bharat fosters a collaborative and motivating work environment, always willing to listen and support his team. Personally, I’ve grown under his mentorship, benefiting from his guidance and constructive feedback. A Manager who talks the talk and walks the walk..... !

Depinder Singh

"Bharat is a no-nonsense straight-up salesperson. He tells things how they are rather than necessarily telling you what you want to hear, therefore you have a realistic expectations. Bharat knows what he is doing and gets the job done without being pushy. I have used Bharat's services on two occasions selling a house and will happily do so again."

MK Residential Rentals Limited

Bharat and Warren don't push the envelope when it comes to marketing hype and sale's speech, they just get on and do the job and communicate what is happening - I like this honest and straightforward approach.

Mark & Karen Haines

Bharat was amazing in accommodating our wishes. Making the decision to sell our house wasn’t the easiest, we wanted minimal disruptions (eg: no open homes), a quick sale, and almost next to no visible marketing, while also chasing a sale price we all were happy with.

He delivered, and made everything really easy. Kept in constant communication and listened when we had concerns. We can’t thank him enough for making it easy for us, even though we didn’t make it easy for him. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Bharat again as a listing salesperson and recommend him to all future sellers.

Deidra Paul

"As first home buyers, we were challenged with many hurdles before we could call a house our home. Bharat with his many years of experience was able to help make our dream a reality. With his unbiased advice and open honest negotiations, we were able to achieve our goal to buy a wonderful property in a great community. Thank you, Bharat and Warren from Barfoot & Thompson, for such great and heartfelt service."

Hi Bharat
I just wanted to pass on our thanks for your hard work and professionalism demonstrated once again, in selling our property at Whenuapai.

We were happy to accept the pre-Auction offer last Thursday 26th November @ $1.25m, but with your hard work to get a second bidder to attend the auction yesterday we achieved the final outcome of $1.33m. This was way beyond our expectations and I believe a record sale price for that newer part of Whenuapai.

When we were looking to sell this property four weeks ago, I thought about the previous six great results in seven years we have had with you as our salesperson and I did not hesitate to call on you once again, to be our trusted advisor in getting an outcome on deal #7.

Your ability to read the situation and possible buyers using your experience, whilst making the most from the cards you have been dealt, is the reason that we will come back to you in the future.

Thanks again mate. Cheers

Solvej & Dean

Karen and I were delighted with the service Bharat gave us from the first on-site meeting to the day of the auction and beyond. Bharat is experienced and well connected to the other salespeople in the organisation. Ultimately, it was these two factors that led to a very successful outcome with seven people bidding. Bharat is friendly, accommodating, has a good listening ear and works hard for the client to keep them informed all the way through the marketing and sales process. I would happily engage Bharat’s services again.

Mark Haines

"Thank you for your wise counsel once again! We are very happy with the outcome of our house sale at 84 Picasso Dr."

The Hughes Family

"During the marketing of our property we found Bharat to be most supportive and extremely honest. He was very professional and did everything in a timely manner.
After being given excellent advice from Bharat we were able to make well educated decisions.
We found Bharat to be a very hard worker who put in long hours which resulted in a very successful sale of our home for us after being on the market for only 5 days.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Bharat and Barfoot & Thompson to market your property."

Peter & Patricia Santer

"Bharat has been fantastic, going well beyond our expectations.Exceptional level of service, a high level of communication, professionalism, and friendly manner, thanks for all your help."

S & R Narsey

"The recent sale of our property was the third time we have had the pleasure of working with Bharat. He is unquestionably the most ethical and trustworthy Agent we have ever dealt with and I recommend him to others who want the benefit of his thorough and professional approach without hesitation. Thank you Bharat for your support."

Geoff Bawden

"Bharat Kumar is well organised thoughtful real estate agent who goes the extra mile for his vendors. He was thorough in his preparation prior to the listing and gave us good advice prior to the property actually hitting the market.

He followed this up with supporting us when we received a pre-auction offer and provided excellent guidance but was savvy enough to leave the final decision to us. For me I always seek the information and the thoughts of the professionals but as the vendor you are the person who has to live with the final outcome. Bharat respected this and was direct but not pushy. We have no hesitation in recommending both Bharat and Barfoot & Thompson as a company based on our experience."

G. Moore

"We found Bharat's Service & Professionalism exceptional. And would not hesitate to contact him in the future if need be. Thank you."

H & B Honig

"Our experience with Bharat has been excellent. His experience and knowledge is a real confidence booster, mixed with his friendly demeanour and professional manner. He is the best real estate agent we have had the pleasure of dealing with."

G. Logie

"...you gave us confidence and kept our confidence up through the marketing campaign, open homes and finally the auction and beyond. You were always very professional, a delight to deal with and worked extremely hard for us".

R & G Thomas

"We were very happy with the service Bharat provided during the marketing and consequent selling of our property. Bharat was very consistent with follow up information and kept us well informed on progress leading up to and during the sale time".

E & N Bracken

"After having our house on the market for some months, and with no luck we changed agents to Bharat Kumar of Barfoot & Thompson, and within a very short time and only two open home's we had an unconditional offer".

K.Barron & C. Bunker

"This is my fourth experience in selling a house and I have to say it has been the least stressful. I attribute this to Bharat's excellent "people skills" and his honesty and warmth.

I have never felt compelled to write regarding previous experiences with real estate agent's but wanted to write this time recommending Bharat to anyone who is considering selling or buying a home."

V.Cowie

"We would not hesitate to recommend you to other potential purchasers to assist in finding their dream home. Please feel free to use this letter from us and refer you to other potential clients."

Y. Solanki

"What impressed me was the way Bharat actively brought the sale of our house to the attention of the whole of the Barfoot team and consequently this resulted in the sale of the property.

..We would have no hesitation in recommending Bharat & Hemanti to anyone seeking or selling a house. We certainly have become friends during the whole process and would contact them again once we return to New Zealand and require another home".

T. Perrin

"Thank you so much for your constant up-date of what was happening. We admire your gentle manner and interest shown at all time.....".
