Duncan Bell has been incredible to deal with, and we don't say that lightly. He is a man of integrity, respect and honesty. Duncan worked through some huge hurdles to get our sale across the line. He is like a dog with a bone, he never gives up, always positive!!

He works incredibly hard and follows up every prospective buyer. Duncan sent endless emails, thousands in fact to an overseas prospective buyer. His perseverance paid off and got us an unconditional deal!!!

If you are looking for the best commercial agent in Auckland, it's Duncan Bell!!!!

Over the years, Duncan has been in phone contact with me as a Commercial real estate agent. Someone I knew had a property query and I suggested they call Duncan. The advice Duncan gave this person was a truthful assessment of a situation and I admired the honesty of Duncan’s approach.

Honesty is a core value in any successful endeavour and Duncan ‘lived’ this value.

As a direct result of Duncan’s honesty, I approached him to help me with a commercial property project. From our first face-to-face meeting, I was not disappointed in my decision to contact him.

Duncan listened to what we were trying to achieve and offered sound advice. We made the decision to appoint Duncan to the project as sole agent and we have been delighted with our decision.

The project has been successfully completed in an efficient and timely manner thanks to Duncan’s professional approach. Every contact point with Duncan has been a pleasure.

Honesty, integrity and humility are always a sound yardstick. On each of these measures, Duncan rates highly. I would have no hesitation in recommending Duncan and I will remain in contact with him, always.

Working with you was a pleasant and satisfying experience - a professional and personal approach. If the need arises I will contact you for further business.

‘We were very impressed by the work Duncan Bell carried out to find us a trustworthy company to lease our food premises. His knowledge and interpersonal qualities were exceptional and he consistently went ‘the extra mile’. He makes great recommendations for both parties, is one call away, always contactable and approachable. We appreciate the timeliness and the detail of replies to the queries. He understands the industry and skillfully develops a solid leasing arrangement. He kept us updated all the way through and was very proactive finding the right party.

Thank you very much Duncan.’

We would like to congratulate and recommend Duncan Bell over the recent sale of our Industrial Units in Favona. To be candid, the units were not for sale and it was Duncan's initial approach and discussions that prompted us to offer the properties for sale. Due to our current situation we had strict guidelines regarding the sale process as well as our expectations of price. Duncan not only met but exceeded our expectations.

We have several properties and have dealt with many real estate salespeople in the past. As I mentioned earlier, I have no hesitation in recommending Duncan for his first-class service.

Duncan achieved a record sales price for our commercial building. From our first meeting until the sale was completed, Duncan was a pleasure to deal with. His extensive knowledge of the commercial sector market and his client base all helped us achieve an excellent outcome.

Duncan has excellent communication skills and always went above and beyond what we expected. His excellent interpersonal skills meant that all parties were dealt with fairly and efficiently. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to sell their property. He dealt with the entire process himself which made communication easy.

Your competitors at Bayleys wanted to list it, and then when the bloke did his pitch he was going to hand it over to two salespeople we hadn’t met ....

“We found Duncan was very easy and efficient to deal with. If we left a message he rang back quickly. He was very professional and attentive to our questions. He was very clear in what was needed during the sale and purchase agreement and kept us informed. Duncan was efficient, answered all our questions, nothing was too much trouble and a successful result was achieved for us and the buyer.”

I confirm that I have been very impressed by the high standard of commercial/industrial work carried out by Duncan Bell of Barfoot & Thompson. It was as a direct result of Duncan's professional skill, positive attitude, integrity, diligence and hard work, that a successful outcome was achieved for the mutual benefit of all parties involved.

Duncan went above and beyond to find us the perfect location for our business. Duncan regularly sent us listings and never gave up trying to find us what we were looking for. He understood our business needs and requirements so its thanks to him that we can start the next phase of our business growth.
