About Joe Vinten

With a reputation built on trust, performance and people-first values, I bring a strategic, calm and results-focused approach to the team at Barfoot & Thompson Howick.

Originally from the UK, my journey into real estate followed a successful international career in hospitality, including leadership roles in high-pressure kitchens across Hong Kong, North America, and London - most notably at Restaurant Gordon Ramsay. This background sharpened my ability to multitask, communicate clearly and deliver outcomes under pressure - skills that now benefit every client with whom I interact.

With over seven years of success in the provincial New Zealand property market, I bring a strong track record of delivering tailored real estate campaigns across a range of situations. Now based in Auckland, that experience sets me apart – helping me provide my clients with the best possible service and results. From high-end family homes to multi-unit investments and land at all price points, I have closed deals across the full residential spectrum.

Whether working with first-home buyers, seasoned investors, or families, I treat each property as if it were my own and every client as if they were family, always driven by integrity to build long-term relationships and referral business for years to come.

My particular strength is in identifying opportunity and understanding the needs of my clients, whilst navigating the complexities of the residential sales journey. Clients value my strategic insight, transparent communication and ability to read the market and act quickly when opportunities arise.

Outside of real estate I am passionate about family, travel and cultural experiences. I am committed to personal development, community service and giving back, both locally and through projects abroad, such as school redevelopments in West Africa. A black belt in Tae-Kwon-Do and former international team captain, I know how to bring out the best in those around me and lead with purpose.

I am extremely proud to be aligned with Barfoot & Thompson’s industry-leading networks, resources and values. For me, it’s just like “coming home”. If you’re seeking a dedicated and trustworthy salesperson who’s committed to achieving the very best results with award winning service, I’d be delighted to assist you. Call me today in full confidence - 021 022 48005.

What my clients say

Joe is Excellent - Over the years we have dealt with three real estate salespeople. We felt that they were working for themselves, not really in our interests. This time we used Joe to sell our rental property. We were not disappointed; he was very professional and honest and worked with us to get a great result. We would recommend Joe and use him again in a heartbeat.

Joe has known us for a few years now, always keeping in touch and keeping us informed of the market.

He understood selling was a difficult decision for us, but he showed patience which helped us negotiate the selling process. We would not hesitate to recommend Joe to family and friends. 

J Robinson - Seller

Above and beyond my expectations!
Visiting open homes, Joe was so helpful and informative. The property in question was up for auction and due to my lack of preparation, Joe guided me through the process which helped me get my ducks lined up. This relieved the stress for me, a big thank you to Joe and team for making this dream come true!

G Kairau - Buyer

Five Star Salesperson
Joe was absolutely awesome from the get-go; he was referred to me through my brother. Joe had character and charisma to match his professional presence; he was calming and reassuring that the auction campaign would be a success. I believed in his ability to deliver and he did. Thank you so much Joe!

J Fraiser - Seller

Professional
Very helpful and responsive experience from Joe.

Y Liu - Buyer

Friendly & Realistic
I'm delighted I've sold my house in a time of uncertainty; Joe was friendly, helpful, efficient. He didn't "over sell" the property but gave sound fair advice. Even whilst overseas, his communication was first class. Thanks for your support Joe!

K Heard - Seller

Joe was great to deal with. Very thorough in his work and always available to talk to. We trusted Joe because of his excellent reputation in the real estate business, and he did not disappoint. His reliability and expertise ensured a smooth home-buying process, and we're beyond grateful. Joe was available to meet at all times requested and we found him to be a stand-up sort of guy, one who was determined to get the deal done. We would definitely recommend Joe to other homeowners wanting to sell and buy in the market.
