We were referred to Bridget and Tonya by another satisfied vendor and we were pleased we were! Everything went seamlessly and we were kept informed every step of the way. Once again, many thanks.

From the time we listed through to the day we sold, both Bridget and Tonya were impeccable salespeople.

We lost the first sale within a day of it going unconditional and the girls immediately sprung into action. Within four days we had another offer on the table for a little more than the previous offer. Great work and thank you both very much for that.

The main thing I would like to put here, is their communication skills. Having been in real estate myself in the past I know as an salesperson and as a home seller the importance of communication. Their communication was well above any I have experienced for many years. Immediately a buyer came through our house, we had a phone call with feedback and progress. I would have accepted a weekly report, so what they offered was amazing in their very busy days.

I recommend Bridget and Tonya to anyone wanting to sell with ease, professionalism and honesty.

Best regards

We recently listed our house for sale with Bridget Selby and Tonya McKay. Bridget and Tonya make a great team. They have years of experience in real estate and offer practical and sound advice. The entire process was smooth from start to finish with their friendly and effective approach. We highly recommend their services.

Warm regards

Our salesperson Bridget Selby, along with Tonya were absolutely amazing to deal with and nothing was too much trouble.

Our two sons recommended Bridget Selby and Tonya McKay of Barfoot & Thompson to us, so we got an appraisal from them. We asked them to list our home at Mangawhai at $5,000 below their top appraised value on a Wednesday. Photos were taken and the listing posted on the internet on Thursday. The first potential purchaser came midday Friday, made an offer, we counter and a conditional agreement signed. The date for going unconditional was set for three working days later. The fastest sale in our experience. Well done ladies! It took just 40 hours!

Just wanted to send you an email to thank you so much for all of the wonderful help and support that you gave Jake and I throughout the process of viewing, purchasing and moving into our new home in Lawrence Road, we really appreciate everything you did to get us here and we are so so thrilled and happy with it and to be living back home in Mangawhai! Also thank you very much for the bubbles and Bennett’s chocolates, we weren’t expecting that at all so it was a lovely surprise! I am sure we will see you around!

Thank you again,

Take care

"We would like to say a big thank you to Bridget Selby and Tonya McKay from Barfoot & Thompson in Mangawhai, who recently sold our house. They came prepared with the statistics, were extremely positive, very professional with years of experience.

I am a partner of Knight Coldicutt and specialise in property law. My wife and I purchased a property in 2003 and Bridget acted as agent on the sale. We found her to be most efficient, honest and courteous in all dealings with us so much so that when we decided to sell the property in August this year we thought of no one else other than Bridget to act as our agent. Bridget immediately set about making arrangements for the sale without delay and we were delighted to sell the property within one week of making the decision to sell it. I can highly recommend Bridget to anyone interested in property for sale.

"I wish to take this time to thank you for having such a superb woman as Bridget Selby, a member of your staff. Bridget was instrumental in the purchase of my little unit. I had a very stressful time running through my life at this time and Bridget did more than the extra mile to help me in every way possible. Please convey my thanks and very best wishes to Bridget and accept my thanks for your excellent choice in having her on your staff".

"It is a pleasure to recommend Bridget Selby as a sales and marketing consultant. Her service to us in the sale of our house was very professional and we were impressed by her very real commitment. As well as this she was sensitive and considerate towards our needs, recognising the emotion involved in our decision to sell the house which had been our family home for many years. The involvement of the whole of the sales team impressed us also and we always received courteous attention. We wish Bridget every success in the future"

"We wish to say a big 'Thank you' to both you and your colleagues for the hard work put into selling our house. We were very impressed by the way that you conducted the sale. The advertising worked and your target market proved to be 'spot on'. Ever the professional, we were grateful that you were frequently available to speak to us personally. Failing that you always returned our calls promptly. We trusted your judgement and admired your positive disposition. One again, thank you we would not hesitate in recommending you to anyone considering a property sale or purchase".

"We found Bridget very approachable and she went the extra mile to organise the listing in the limited time we had. She clearly outlined how she would be marketing the property and gave us market research information on past sales figures to help us put a realistic price on our property. It was a hard decision to sell the family home after all this time, but because of Bridget it was a very quick (2 weeks) and painless experience. Thank you Bridget".

"Bridget was great, from our first meeting to arranging photography and marketing quickly and efficiently. The communication was awesome, getting a phone call as soon as someone has viewed the house was paramount to us and Bridget did this every time. She is professional and also extremely helpful with any questions we had. We were more than happy with all aspects of her service".

" A big thank you to Bridget Selby for the successful selling of our beautiful house in Mangawhai. Her dedication to detail was outstanding. Always keeping us informed and following through with an enthusiastic and professional attitude. We find Bridget to be a caring and intelligent person to deal with, always willing to be considerate as each situation came up. Working hard to gain a satisfactory result for both parties, and very impressive with her work ethics and sound approach. We would not hesitate to ask Bridget to assist us with further business".

"Rob and I would like to thank you for all your hard work, serious efforts and sincere dedication in helping and guiding us through our long process of buying our land. You not only introduced us to this dream property, but you stuck by us and walked us through 13 months of ups and downs, guided us in the right direction towards finally being able to say is it yours". I have never met a more dedicated and loyal Real Estate Agent as yourself. You have a wealth of knowledge, without you this would never have happened for us. You have made our dream come true. We both thank you so much Bridget and would recommend without hesitation to anyone that is looking to buy land/home. You are truely a real asset to the Company, they are so lucky to have you on board their team.

"Firstly I would just like to thank you for the amazing job you and your team have done in taking on the sale of our section and getting it sold within a week. To say you exceeded expectations is a sizeable understatement and I can't say how much we appreciate what you have managed to achieve in such a short space of time. Please pass on our thanks and I have already recommended your services to a colleague who was looking for property on Mangawhai on behalf of his parents. In October 2012 we originally listed this property for sale through another Company. Despite it being obvious that other sections were being moved in the area, we saw no interest in ours. After receiving no offers, we eventually took it off the market 15 months later in January this year. I can honestly say I am not sure if they actually did anything in attempting to sell it and the service you provided would certainly support this argument".

"Thanks for the update and apologies as I meant to let you know we have found a property and it's the one I was telling you about in Waipu. I have been consumed with sorting that out and totally forgot to follow up with you. I would like to thank you for all your help and the fact that you were one of the only agents who kept in touch and was very enthusiastic and so accommodating. You leave a lot of the agents out there far behind when it comes to professionalism and friendliness. I actually liked that last house you sent through however we now have a slice of paradise that we were looking for and we move next weekend. Thank you so much for your assistance in helping, you were fantastic and it was lovely to meet you".

"Hi Bridget, just wanted to wish you a merry Christmas and say thanks for your hard work in the sale of our block. We found you very good to deal with and couldn't be happier with the outcome".

"I have nothing but praise for Bridget Selby. She came highly recommended by 2 different friends. I was selling my property (for the first time on my own) and really appreciated her honest appraisal and helpful suggestions on how best to present my property. This involved painting and new carpet but the resulting improvement in appearance was most definitely a factor in my obtaining a most satisfactory offer close to the asking price. I have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone interested in either selling or buying a property. I shall certainly avail myself of her services in the future. I think that Bridget's main strength is her 20 years experience as a real estate agent. She exudes a quiet confidence in a calm and pleasant manner; is very approachable and is willing to thoughtfully consider any suggestions I might make".

We want to thank you again for all that you have done to make the selling of our property so seamless. I have to say that I am afraid that Real Estate Agents haven't always 'figured' very highly in my stratosphere but you have gone a long way to change my opinion of them. I think Barfoot and Thompson are very fortunate to have you working for them.

"We have had some unfortunate experiences with a couple of Real Estate Agents in the past so were unwilling to sell our property through this medium. However Bridget approached us when we were selling our property privately and convinced us to let her sell our property. We were impressed with Bridget's genuine, no-nonsense but enthusiastic approach. She completed the sale of our house promptly and made the whole transaction seamless. Double points to her as we loved the property we were selling and were hoping that the new purchaser would love our house as much as we did. The new owner is everything we could have wished for. So huge thanks to Bridget.
