About David Dowse

30 years of marketing and selling property in Auckland’s inner-city suburbs is what I bring to Barfoot & Thompson Ponsonby. It was 1990 when I arrived in New Zealand from the UK and launched my career in real estate sales here. Since then I have built a stellar reputation as a high achiever while amassing a considerable amount of industry experience.


Decades of successful selling and strong negotiation skills, coupled with my branch manager qualifications, speak volumes as to what I can offer to the business and in turn, our clients.


I understand the importance of clear communication and constantly striving to keep all parties fully-informed during the marketing and negotiations process. Building great working relationships comes naturally to me, and this is based on my no-pressure approach – I’m thorough, diligent and always give sound advice.


Let my expertise in this area work for you. Call me at Barfoot & Thompson Ponsonby or drop by for a chat.

What my clients say

What David's clients say:

"I recently purchased a house unconditionally and needed to sell mine within three & a half weeks. David Dowse was recommended to me and I entrusted him to sell my house. I was very impressed by the thought and energy he put into an effective marketing strategy which resulted in a very successful auction on my house yesterday. David kept me well informed everyday on all developments and which buyers were interested as we approached the auction day . I feel he achieved a premium price for my house at the auction by having eight registered buyers there participating. He did not stop encouraging the buyers to bid down to the last $1,000, resulting in a sale figure beyond what I had thought could be reached - I am thrilled with the result he got. I would highly recommend David Dowse to anyone wanting to sell their home."

Karl Bauer

"Just a quick note to say thank you for your great efforts in selling my Town House in Freemans Bay. The interest generated during the sale process with over 100 groups viewing the premises at the open homes over 3 weekends was fantastic. It was a pleasure working with you both. Your regular communication and feedback was appreciated and kept me informed every step of the way. Your professional attitude and hard work resulted in the sale at auction exceeding my expectations."

Steve Kelly

"Making a sale of a home by Auction is a task that requires a great deal of attention to detail, skill and hard work from a salesperson. Selling that same property at a premium price requires special approach and a Salesperson with an X factor. David Dowse consistently displays this. We recently awarded David for holding the most competitive Auction sale.
In fact he had two of the top four Auctions considered, proving that you should look no further than David Dowse when selling your home."

Murray Smith AREINZ/Auctioneer

"At all stages David kept us informed, passing on to us the feedback he'd had from the open homes- both positive and negative. This gave us realistic expectations for the outcome of the auction and when it reached a higher price than we had anticipated we were thrilled.

David made the process of selling the house painless. Given that we were living 600kms away and that the house had tenants, this was no easy feat. His friendly manner, his diplomacy and his honesty made him a pleasure to deal with. Of course, most importantly, we were exceedingly happy with the outcome!

We wouldn't hesitate in recommending David to anyone looking to sell their home and wish him all the best in the real-estate market!

We are happy to recommend David to any prospective vendor in his territory. He worked extremely hard to sell our property which, although a great house in itself, had its challenges in location and title and didn't exactly walk out the door. He was always optimistic and positive about selling it even when we were starting to doubt, and very diligent in following up on all interest. He was fantastic at calling or visiting regularly to keep u updated. Even when we had an offer nearly certain to go unconditional he didn't relent and worked the Sat in Easter to bring us news of a backup offer. I felt he dealt very fairly and with great integrity towards us, and prospective buyers as they arose, making sure we were all fully informed of circumstances and our options. I never felt that he was pushing us to work within his own agenda as I have felt with other agents at times. I really respected his experience and his advice. Plus he's just a really nice guy. Thanks again, David, for all your hard work."

Anne & Keith

"I first met David as the agent for a property I was interested in. I entered into any agreement to buy that property and that agreement has subsequently gone unconditional. I was very impressed with the low-key, open way in which he dealt with us me as a purchaser and I asked him to act as agent in the marketing of my existing property. David listened carefully to what I wanted to achieve, developed a tailored marketing plan and was efficient and professional in his approach. A sale was achieved quickly and I was very happy with the result. I recommend him."

Catherine, Grey Lynn

"I have never been a real fan of Auctions, Dave convinced me that with some really good photography and colour advertising we would get a great sale - I said alright then. The property did not get to the auction day, after the first weekend of open homes Dave had a pre-auction offer, this brought the auction day forward to the Wednesday. Within 1 week of listing my property it was sold! Way to go Dave!"

Tracey, Freemans Bay

"I wish to highly recommend David Dowse for the great service he has provided to my sister and myself in selling our Grey Lynn property.
Right from the start I found David to be honest, polite and conscience, ready and willing to achieve the very best results for us.
He made sure we kept well informed of developments at all times, and as first time sellers, his reassurances and helpfulness were very much appreciated. He went out of his way to put us at ease, emphasising that everything would be taken care of."
