We see you promise to listen, guide and deliver. This is no empty promise and Kanta Lala has delivered for us in all three departments and in spades. Seven years ago, Kanta assessed our home and property for potential sale. Ill health put the brakes on it then and she did not pester, knowing the time was not right. Her kindness and sensitivity had us return to her to finally list the home we built 40 years ago. Kanta is a lady of exceptional talent in her chosen profession. There is always a quick response, a sensible and practical answer, an encouraging thought and an obvious unwillingness to put unnecessary pressure on us either as sellers or buyers. We did both with Kanta within a week, and to our great satisfaction in August this year with the added complication of Covid-19. This genuinely talented and caring salesperson is someone we would never look past in any future real estate ventures. Our thanks to her and the Barfoot & Thompson mantra.

Kanta, we would like to thank you again for the outstanding job you did for us in selling our home in Remuera, Auckland.
Embodied in any house sale there are times of stress and ours was no exception. During these times you guided us through with your experience, knowledge and kindness to a highly successful sale.
Navigating and guiding us through; the auction process, buyer and lawyer engagement, and your thorough market knowledge nothing was ever a problem, your prompt professional and respectful follow up was exemplary.
Your commitment to then finding us a new home has been a huge help which included homes listed with competing agencies.
Kanta, your outstanding reputation in the industry and a valued member of our community was why we chose you to take us through the ‘sale’ journey and you did not disappoint.
You shared your industry contacts to help us get to market, you were not only present on the day of photography but also present with home-staging, company interviews and building inspection visits and you even bought the flowers for the photographs.
The level of service you imparted we have never experienced before. We also had never used Barfoot & Thompson prior to this property sale. Now, any future sale or purchase Kanta and Barfoot & Thompson would be our first port of call.
We have already sung your praises to our friends and colleagues, you helped us achieve our goal and for that we are very grateful.
Kind Regards
Tony and Kim Wickstead
"Kanta was instrumental in the sale and purchase of our apartment, and we would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to sell or buy in the future. We decided to work with Kanta after our first meeting with her as this was the first time selling and she took the time to talk us through the selling process, what would be the best strategy given our goals and what we needed to do to get our property ready to sell. Throughout the selling process, we were in daily contact with Kanta, who kept us up-to-date on our listing and how it was performing with potential buyers. Kanta went the extra mile with the sale of our apartment ensuring we got the best price from the potential buyer, which then enabled us to purchase our next home at the end of the following week! Kanta was a huge support in helping us do this, ensuring we got in first to the open homes and thoroughly helping us get prepared for the auction, including our auction strategy. We are very thankful for the work Kanta put in and we would highly recommend her to anyone selling or buying in the Auckland market."

Kanta. I admire your calm manner in dealing with the various situations, always achieving favourable results. I am very glad I chose you to handle the sale of our much-loved property and we are very happy with the result. Congratulations to you on a great job done!
I will strongly recommend your services to anyone who has a property to sell and I deeply appreciate your support and care, always working in my interest throughout the process. I am convinced that is why you have such success. Kanta, I thank you from the depth of my heart for your sincerity and kindness.

Buying and selling a house is very emotional and Kanta's manner is entirely unflappable, and always professional. In the end the sale price exceeded her appraisal, and it's hard to ask for more than that. She was equally as insightful in the delicate negotiations in buying our new house, and again worked miracles in getting that over the line. Kanta is there for the long haul, she wants to maximise the value of your house sale and then sell your next house - not cut corners to grab a quick commission. We strongly recommend her services.

We recently had the pleasure of dealing with Kanta Lala when she sold our property and then helped us in the purchase of our new home.
From the outset when we first approached Kanta to give us an appraisal, Kanta took time to find out about our family and our lifestyle before she recommended a sales programme. She understood that the process of selling a home, combined with a young family and busy business was going to have some stresses and worked hard to ensure that those stresses were minimised. Kanta's experience in real estate became apparent as all of her predictions and recommendations were realised. She kept us fully informed every step of the way with patience and clarity. We were very pleased with the sales process overall and were more than delighted with the price we received when our house sold on auction day.
We relied on Kanta to find us a new home and again she was equally fantastic to deal with in the buying process. Her persistence, assistance and advice ensured we got the home we wanted.
Overall, we were delighted to have worked with Kanta. She is experienced, patient and a very clear communicator. She is sincere and is genuine in her care for her clients.
We highly recommend Kanta Lala and look forward to working with her again in the future.

I was so fortunate to be supported by the skill and expertise of Kanta when selling my home. Her sound advice was so valued and my qualms and queries handled with respect and understanding.
The marketing was managed seamlessly by Kanta, attracting an amazing number of prospective buyers to view, prior to auction. I'd previously felt negative toward auctions, but am so pleased I considered all the selling options presented by Kanta. To secure my new property, a successful sale of my home was needed in time to meet a relatively quick settlement date. This was achieved! On auction day, vigorous bidding resulted in a happy purchaser, and a very happy vendor!
Nothing is achieved without effort and I acknowledge Kanta worked tirelessly, with all interested parties, always calm, warm and sincere - the consummate 'professional.'
Jenny
With respect to the sale, Kanta didn't make any bold promises other than her commitment to and belief in the process, and none of us could have been more delighted with the outcome on auction day.
There's no doubt that part of that magic is attributable to the Barfoot & Thompson's marketing process and package which she promoted to us at the outset, but I also know that Kanta absolutely optimized this by working with her colleagues to achieve the outstanding success that we had.
Thank you Kanta!

I would unreservedly recommend Kanta Lala. Her professionalism, knowledge of the market and supportive approach made the sale of our property a stress-free experience. I would not hesitate to recommend Kanta who was a delight to work with ..... and achieved the result we were hoping for.
If all real estate agents adhered to the standards Kanta sets in her work the profession would be more highly rated.

I was recently most fortunate to have appointed Kanta Lala as listing agent when selling my home.
From the outset, Kanta's experience became quite apparent as she skillfully put together a marketing plan for my approval. She worked with me every step of the way, advising and guiding me to our successful conclusion.
I was impressed with her organisation, reliability, reporting, as well as her superb negotiating and communication skills.
Kanta's calm and expert manner made the entire sale process very smooth. From the initial stages of submitting a marketing plan, through to advertising options, a photo shoot, open homes and the Auction process, Kanta managed all aspects professionally and efficiently.
There was not one moment during the sale period, where I felt stressed or under pressure. I was thrilled with the whole process and its outcome.
Kanta is a tremendous asset in the successful marketing and sale of your home and has my highest recommendation.
When the time comes, I will not hesitate in asking Kanta to list my next home.
