Matching tenants to properties is something I’ve always loved. Prior to my role as Senior Property Manager at Barfoot & Thompson Milford, I was a Letting Specialist for two years and then a Portfolio Manager. My longevity in the business has given me a solid foundation for success – and when I get the right match, it’s a win/win for everyone!

I have a reputation for being an excellent listener. Once I understand what both landlords and tenants are looking for I can then spring into action.

I also understand the importance of developing strong relationships. My landlords have trust in my ability to respect their property and find the right tenant. Tenants know that I will suggest a property that is right for them, one where they can settle and live happily.

If you’re a landlord, maximising your property’s rental value is paramount. I have my finger on the pulse when it comes to property maintenance and I can often make good suggestions to help present your property to its best advantage, bearing in mind the comfort of the tenants.

If you are looking for someone to manage your investment property or to find that new home to rent, talk to me, Kathryn Thomas at Barfoot & Thompson Milford. You’ll never look back!

Barfoot & Thompson manage our rental portfolio in Auckland and have recently re-let one of our properties for us. Kathryn Thomas at Barfoot & Thompson Milford was very knowledgeable and efficient in securing a new tenant and worked with us whilst we did some renovations prior to the commencement of the new tenancy. Thank you Kathryn!

Awesomeness
A very professional and friendly Property Manager that made a stressful time into a walk in the park, with good communication and an understanding of my situation to still short list me as a potential tenant, whereas many had just said no. Thank you so much. Me and my daughter love our new home.

Yesten Travers - Tenant, 28 Feb 2025

Great Experience
Thank you for allowing me to express my experience of your service. I cannot forget Mrs Kathryn Thomas, Senior Property Manager, who helped me a lot during a difficult time. She provided invaluable assistance with this property. I am very happy with your excellent service and I strongly recommend it to others.

Linu Abraham - Tenant, 26 Feb 2025

Much better than other Property Managers!!
Other Property Managers I contacted messed me about and promised to do things. Meanwhile my freshly renovated rental property sat vacant. One call to Barfoot & Thompson, and Kathryn was onto it in a flash and found me excellent long-term tenants. She keeps me informed of the market trends and important information affecting my rental. She is easy to contact, responsive, proactive and helpful. Barfoot & Thompson have some great reports too and tools to help busy landlords. Highly recommended.

Geoff Young - Landlord, 28 Aug 2024

Professionalism and efficiency, every time!
Kathryn has been my Property Manager for almost a decade, and her consistency in client service and professionalism has never faulted throughout this time. Kathryn removes any stress from the process of having to find new tenants, addresses issues as they arise during the tenancy with pragmatic solutions, and creates reassurance through delivery that my property is in safe hands, time and time again. Thank you Kathryn!

Clare Smyth - Landlord, 19 Aug 2024

Rodney Miller - Eveyln Place

As mentioned previously, when we met my youngest had chronic issues last winter with ear infections and sickness which was hugely stressful and impacted on my work. I wanted to thank you so much for your kindness when we met. Dealing with someone who was kind, thoughtful and empathetic was a ray of sunshine in what was a difficult time for me.

Thank you so much.

Cherie

Great service. Being an overseas landlord is challenging and having support from Barfoot & Thompson makes it easier and smoother. Highly recommended!

Sara Morettini

Happy tenants, happy landlord, what more could you ask?

Roger & Susan Cadness

Kathryn Thomas is a really good communicator, makes our life much easier, is upfront and professional.

Peter & Helen Kay

Really, I recommend Kathryn T. The way she manages the properties, she is so interactive.

Dalal Jan

Im getting great service right now and feel like my property manager looks after my investment by giving concise and timely communication. She also offers great advice when I ask.

Veronica Datson

We have always chosen to use a property manager to support us with our rental properties and this has spanned almost 20 years. Our decision was based on having people who are fully informed with current tenancy rules and regulations manage both the letting of the properties as well as the ongoing management and inspection aspects. This decision has served us well and we have been thoroughly satisfied with the ease of communication, timely attention to all requests and outcomes with issues. In the current settings with changed and sometimes complex legislation, we welcomed having Barfoot & Thompson Milford, Kathryn Thomas and her assistants navigating and providing solutions with maintaining and maximising our investment properties.

John & Heather Smyth

We have had Barfoot & Thompson manage our rental property for many years. Their professional service has provided us with trouble-free tenants and a high rate of occupancy, delivering us a good rate of return and peace of mind that easily justifies the management fees rather than us managing the property directly. We are happy to recommend their property management service.

Mark & Carol Munroe

Barfoot and Thompson have provided excellent tenant selection services and thorough on going inspections to meet the insurers requirements. Maintenance matters have been recorded, allowing for my choice to do repairs, or approval for their trade's people to engage in repairs. This all gives valuable peace of mind.

Roger & Susan Cadness

The property managers are on the ball and proactive.
