What my clients say

Thank You So Much - I first met Leila at an open home three weeks ago. While this home didn’t suit my family, Leila suggested another home, which we visited and fell in love with. In a very short time, we had a new home. Leila was fantastic to work with and made the whole buying process simple. Leila has a bubbly personality and great communication. We want to recommend Leila!

Milan & Angela

Sale in a difficult market
Leila and Zoe-Lou managed to achieve a sale for us in a challenging market. The market delivered a couple of curveballs that had to be navigated during the sale process; however, the required outcome was achieved, so we are happy customers.

Chris & Brooke Finch - Seller

We wish to record our appreciation with regards to yourselves for the sale of our house. You had a quiet relatable manner both to us as vendors, and to prospective purchasers.

Your negotiation skills are second-to-none and you make a good team as mother and daughter, reflecting the experience and wisdom of Leila and the energy of Zoe-Lou, together with experienced negotiation skills and a non-judgmental approach, never discussing other vendors or passing opinion on prospective purchasers, which was something we valued.

You are a TEAM that complements each other. Thank you for persevering with us and working towards quietly achieving the result we wanted.

Ross & Jenny Collinson

Exceeded my expectations, would not hesitate to recommend!!! - The team of Leila and Zoe-Lou were great to deal with throughout the entire process. Leila provided reassurance with her many years of experience when I was unsure which sales method to choose, and Zoe-Lou in particular, was a superstar. I spent a lot of time researching which salesperson to go with and from the moment Zoe-Lou visited to appraise our house, I knew I was in safe hands. She was patient in the face of my endless questions while knowledgeable and confident about buyers' expectations and wants, both from a technical perspective and also an emotional one. She was exceptionally hardworking and her enthusiasm was infectious. Our interactions were always genuine and honest and we instantly created a rapport. A usually stressful process became a breeze, and critically, we got the price we wanted in a very challenging market. If you are considering engaging in their services, my advice is don't consider any more, just do it.

Jono Barry

Friendly, approachable and professional
It was a pleasure to list and sell my home with Zoe-Lou and Leila. Selling a home can be an emotional roller coaster, but Zoe-Lou and Leila always acted with empathy and compassion, taking time to understand and hear my feelings throughout the entire process. They showed genuine enthusiasm and care, and had wonderful negotiation skills ensuring myself and the purchaser were happy with the final result. They were incredibly communicative and promptly answered calls and emails. I can see why they have so many successful sales under their belts. I wouldn’t hesitate to highly recommend them if you are looking to buy or sell.

Delwyn Jones

Warm, Attentive, Accommodating
From our first interaction, it was an absolute pleasure dealing with Zoe-Lou. We called after the Open Home closed but Zoe-Lou generously offered to stay longer so we could view the home. We loved the house as soon as we saw it, but had never purchased through a tender process before. Zoe-Lou helped us through the process and encouraged us to put our best “no regrets” offer forward. She was warm, helpful and attentive, respectful of the emotional decision that buying a home is, not pushy or transactional, a very far cry from some of the salespeople we have previously dealt with. Zoe-Lou struck a wonderful balance behind truly understanding the needs and requirements of both the seller and the buyer and bringing those together towards a successful sale. Thank you Zoe-Lou, we will not hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking to buy or sell.

A & S Ramnarayan

Easy Seamless Process
We found purchasing a property with Zoe-Lou and Leila an easy and seamless process. Zoe-Lou was very accommodating with my 100 questions and multiple phone calls. They also made us feel like auction day was an easy process and explained everything extremely well. We are so grateful for their help to purchase our dream home.

Cam & Penny

Great experience, great result - Working with Leila and Zoe-Lou was a pleasure from day one. Their honesty, market knowledge and enthusiasm made the listing and sale of our property an adventure rather than a trial. Their advice was spot on, professionalism shone through their natural manner, and their marketing was thorough and knowledgeable. Their support made us feel like more than clients - highly recommend.

Allan & Ros

A Friendly and Enthusiastic Duo
Leila and Zoe were always friendly and approachable, and we could ask them anything. Zoe and Leila's enthusiasm for selling homes on Herald Island is unparalleled. Their sunny dispositions make them a fun and engaging team to work with, and we knew this would be helpful when engaging with buyers. They both have a strong local knowledge, and this was a great asset. We are happy to have sold at auction after a short and sweet campaign.

Aria Hirzel- Horn & Sam Horn

Their expertise and professionalism were evident throughout, and their clear communication kept us informed every step of the way. We truly felt they had our best interests at heart and left us without a doubt that we achieved the best price we could in this market. Thanks, Zoe-Lou and Leila!

Melanie & Marcus Evans

No stress, all heart!

Leila and Zoe-Lou were fantastic! Answering questions honestly, guiding us through the process, and making sure all involved were happy at the end, are the highlights of working with these two, but every interaction from start to finish was a pleasure - which is usually not the case at all. We cannot recommend these two highly enough!

Dan & Alice Lenihan

Professional Flare
Working with Leila and Zoe-Lou was a really good experience. They are a very professional, insightful and reasonable team. I was very pleased with the overall result of my sale and particularly how well negotiations were managed. I felt very confident that they had my best interests at the centre of their work. The process of selling a house is of course very challenging, but Leila and Zoe-Lou provided all the necessary support with excellent communication, sound advice and good humour. They worked hard and made everything as easy as possible for me. I highly recommend Leila and Zoe-Lou.

Helen Creagh

An Amazing Team
Leila and Zoe-Lou were a fantastic team to deal with and I highly recommend them. They were extremely professional and excellent communicators from our very first meeting right through to the end of the sale process. They gave me some really good suggestions in terms of how I should market and style my property without feeling pressured into doing something I wasn't comfortable with.

Mary-Louise Potter

Professionals with Heart

Leila and Zoe-Lou are a partnership that is both very professional and has heart. They listen, they hear you and have empathy for what your needs are. For them it is not just a job, but a passion. The difference, I think, is their personal investment in your journey. They care. We would highly recommend them!

Sue & Bryce Cattell

OUTSTANDING TEAM - VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Zoe-Lou and Leila provide outstanding service. Their professionalism and market knowledge blend with open, honest and prompt communication. We were listened to and supported through the entire sales process. We highly recommend them to anyone wanting to have a positive experience when selling their home.

Paul & Denise

Consummate Professionals

Leila and Zoe-Lou make a great team. As a real estate professional myself, with over 30 years of experience in the industry, I was impressed with every aspect of the purchase of our new home. Leila and Zoe-Lou were knowledgeable, informative, friendly, courteous and generally very helpful. Leila has strong negotiating skills and works hard to maximise the price for her vendor, but she also holds the 'deal' together - a fine line to walk. We are over the moon with our new home, and so very grateful to you both for being instrumental in helping us get there.

Jeff & Sandra

5 Stars Excellence.

We were truly supported by Zoe-Lou and Leila Morris. They had all the facts and information. They were extremely helpful and very aware of our circumstances. I would highly recommend them.

Bill & Linda Blockley - Vendor

“Thank you Zoe-Lou & Leila. The sale means so much. Thank you for all your hard work and not giving up. Wish you all the best for the future and also for your family.”

Courtney

Excellence!

We first met Zoe-Lou and Leila a few years ago at Open Homes and decided when our time came to sell, we would contact them to be our salesperson.

A few months ago we met again and from the very first meeting, Zoe-Lou and Leila gave us a good feeling of been well-looked-after. They showed interest in our priorities and together we set the standard for open homes and private inspections. We loved working with them. 100%!

Audrey & Gusti

Five Stars!
"Very good. Leila and Zoe-Lou dealt with our tenant well and sold the property in a tough market.”

Craig Speakman

Wow, What a Team!!
Leila and Zoe-Lou were amazing at their jobs and met all of our expectations when selling our family home. Their professionalism, helpfulness, compassion and market knowledge were exceptional. We would recommend them to anyone wanting to sell their home. You will not be let down and will be informed at every step as you go through the process without being rushed. Four weeks and our home was sold and we were very pleased with the result. Thank you, Leila and Zoe-Lou, you are stars. It was a pleasure dealing with you both. Best wishes.

Kate & Craig Jolliffe

Fantastic service and professionalism

Zoe-Lou really put in the hard yards for us. She is very kind and hardworking, and her positive communication approach is much appreciated. We are very happy with the service provided and all of the effort that has gone into our sale.

Erika Commers - Whenuapai

Highly rate Zoe-Lou, excellent experience.
Thank you to Leila, Zoe-Lou and the Barfoot & Thompson team. Really appreciate the great service and clear communication. Zoe-Lou, you have been great to work with, I really can't thank you enough for all the advice and long hours you put in.

You come across as very genuine and caring, and you’re generous with your time despite being busy. I love your communication style. As someone who likes context and subtleties, I felt reassured and informed. It’s clear to me why your doing so well. Thank you Zoe-Lou! 

Steve Wilson - Whenuapai

Highest standard of service and professionalism

"I felt very comfortable having Leila and Zoe-Lou Morris market my home. My first impression of trust and confidence was very positive, and as several friends had also recommended them, I very quickly decided they were the team to market my home. They both explained the whole process to me very clearly as well as the various options so I was very well informed. I was very impressed by Leila’s knowledge of the market and her honesty and openness, and Zoe-Lou presented an exceedingly detailed and well-researched professional package, so it was easy for me to make my final decision on the marketing strategy. I also felt that if I was a buyer rather than a seller, I could trust Leila’s down-to-earth judgement, openness and honesty implicitly. The Morris’s arranged for the staging of the house as well as photographs and had a beautiful video made showing the house to its very best advantage. Leila rang weekly after every open home, and her optimism for a positive outcome was very encouraging and set my heart at ease. Zoe-Lou also updated me weekly by e-mail on the outcome of all open homes and level of interest shown. They both presented the home to prospective buyers with infectious optimism and enthusiasm, thereby encouraging a great deal of interest and ultimately a very satisfactory outcome. I was exceedingly impressed by their outstanding service and professionalism and cannot recommend them highly enough. It was a delight to meet them both and I wish them every continued success.”

Maureen Campbell-White

An exceptional professional

When we decided to sell our house, we didn’t hesitate to call Leila. Her knowledge of our area and the market in general, as well as her extensive experience in marketing and selling property, made her the only choice for us. She’s smart, and engaging and put us at ease straight away. She came up with a great marketing plan and set to work immediately. Leila has lots of positive energy and enthusiasm, and she didn’t hesitate in pursuing leads even before the campaign started, which as it turned out came through for us. Very meticulous - dotting “i’s and crossing “t’s - she made the process quick, painless and enjoyable. Her exceptional sales and negotiation skills got us a great price, and we’re very happy with the outcome. We have no hesitation in recommending Leila and would go back to her again if we had another opportunity. She and her partner in crime, Zoe-Lou, are really great at their jobs and lovely genuine people to deal with.

Romana & Grant - Herald Island

Absolutely Fantastic!

This mother daughter duo were absolutely amazing as they lead us through the journey of selling our family home. Right from the very first contact they were very professional, supportive, enthusiastic and communicated well.

They went out of their way to market our home in a difficult time market wise. The way they conducted the open homes was encouraging to prospective buyers. They kept in constant communication with us right through the process of selling.

We would have no hesitation in recommending their services.

Don & Joan

Fantastic Mother & Daughter Combo!

Upon first meeting Leila and Zoe-Lou at the first open home, I found them very approachable and helpful. It was our first ever home we bought, and Zoe-Lou really helped us make the transaction go smoothly. I felt she went above and beyond the call of duty to accommodate both the vendor and ourselves. They are very professional, and I can tell they both enjoy helping people get into their newly purchased homes.

Sheree Gray - 15 Nov 2022

Zoe-Lou is a superstar!

We are absolutely thrilled with the professionalism, market knowledge, positivity, motivation and drive that Zoe-Lou brought to the table when selling our home. She has the right combination of skill, experience and empathy that makes dealing with her a sheer delight!

Les & Shona Tokana

A quick and smooth sale of our home with Zoe-Lou at the helm. Admittedly we were disappointed at the start when we found out Leila was not in the country when we decided to put our property on the market. However our concerns soon melted away when we met Zoe-Lou. We found Zoe-Lou professional and yet easy to communicate with. She is bright, positive, a good listener, kind and caring. Zoe-Lou went over and above her call of duty to make the sale of our home easy. Her determination not to give up is a quality to be admired.

We highly recommend Zoe-Lou and thank her for making the marketing and sale of our property so easy.

Barbara & Eddie Grassick

Excellent service, patient and really understands the market

We engaged the services of Zoe-Lou to help us sell our property in Whenuapai. Unfortunately for us, the market had taken a turn at the time and was very uncertain. Zoe-Lou really took time to understand our needs, expectations and was very honest about the market conditions. She was also excellent at updating us on any ongoing changes. We really had a pleasant experience with Zoe-Lou and will definitely use her services again if we ever need to.

Melvin & Jasmin

Tenacity and never giving up!

Dealing with Leila and Zoe-Lou was a pleasure. Their determination to secure a positive outcome for us, despite the trying market conditions, was so reassuring and made the stress factor a lot less than it could have been. Zoe-Lou was particularly instrumental in getting the sale across the line. We think Leila and Zoe-Lou are the best!

Carole & Ian Cox

Since first meeting Leila and Zoe-Lou over a year ago, we have always found them to be good listeners, receptive and never pushy. We were on-again, off-again in our decision to sell our house, as we were so fond of the area in which we lived and yet understood that we were quickly outgrowing our home. We were reassured to know that Leila and Zoe-Lou were patiently waiting in the wings, for when we finally gave our instructions to "go".

It was Zoe-Lou who took the helm and helped keep us steady during a time when the market was particularly turbulent. We knew our open homes would begin with a genuinely warm and friendly welcome that would contribute to a positive experience. Her commitment and enthusiasm made her the best person for the job. Despite trying times, Zoe-Lou provided the support and encouragement we needed to persevere, and we are so glad we did!

Louise Dove & Daniel Lloyd

Highly Recommended

Zoe was very responsive, helpful and accommodating through the entire process which made everything a breeze. Would recommend her to anyone.

Heath & Jessica

Zoe-Lou was Seamless

I cannot recommend Zoe-Lou enough. She communicated in a clear and effective way and walked us through the process in a stress-free and easy way (despite us selling remotely). I loved how Zoe-Lou directed and lead us through the sales process and was proactive. This meant we could trust her to get things done and never had to follow-up or ask twice about anything. Zoe-Lou's depth of knowledge and recommendations were based on up to date information on the current market and she was straight up, honest and direct while still being polite. It can be hard to find real estate salespeople who you can trust wholeheartedly, but Zoe-Lou is one of them. She was absolutely brilliant to work with and we would use her again in a heartbeat (if we had another house to sell).

A Roughan

Zoe-Lou immediately won us over with her professionalism.

Zoe-Lou absolutely delivers a highly positive and professional package. She comes well researched and prepared but is also a great listener. She marketed our unique property as we would have liked and we couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. Thank you Zoe, so pleased we went with you. Love your attitude!

Deborah & Trevor Higgins

A Smooth and Calm Sale

I have to admit, I was a bit nervous knowing that Leila was not in New Zealand during our sale campaign, but just after our first open home I knew I had nothing to worry about. Zoe’ s professionalism, patience and flexibility to meet our needs and requirements was admirable. I would highly recommend her.

Fara - Vendor

Exceptional Service and Professionalism

Zoe-Lou was the consummate professional in dealing with the sale of my property. I have never encountered such a level of dedication, commitment and enthusiasm in my decades of dealing in the property market both here in New Zealand and abroad. In the words of Tina Turner, "she is simply the best", and I cannot commend her in anything other than the highest order.

Robert Jones - Vendor

“It was a pleasure having Leila and Zoe-Lou help us sell our home. Right from the get-go they both were enthusiastic, optimistic and extremely positive. This was ultimately why we chose them to present our home to the market. They kept us informed throughout the process and with Leila’s knowledge and experience and Zoe-Lou's expertise with marketing they really do make the best team. We were very pleased with our result and would happily recommend using Leila and Zoe-Lou Morris to anyone who is considering of selling their home.”

Tony & Claire Davies

Leila and Zoe-Lou make it easy As! Leila and Zoe-Lou were a pleasure to have both in my home and to market and sell it. Yes, they made it easy as. All questions were answered, communication was superb. Information flowed throughout the auction process. A very happy and satisfied client I am! Call away if you think of selling; they are both easy yet professional in conducting their business.

Annie Siddall

Absolute Confidence
"As soon as Leila and Zoe-Lou came to appraise our property in Whenuapai Village, we knew they were the team for us. They carefully considered the grounds first before setting foot in the house and were able to give us a fresh perspective of what buyers are looking for.

We loved Leila’s down-to-earth but respectful approach, and her extensive knowledge of the market and the Whenuapai area. Zoe-Lou was fantastic with the marketing, and we can see she is a shining star in the real estate profession. We especially loved her video presentation. Their dedication to the job at hand and relentless optimism for a positive outcome was infectious.

Since we had been on this property for 30 years, it was a huge decision to sell. Leila and Zoe-Lou were able to give us a plan to get to market, which we found invaluable. We followed every bit of advice given and enjoyed the process along the way. It was rewarding to get such lovely feedback on how well our home and garden was presented.

Although it was trying circumstances going to market in the middle of Lockdowns, Team Morris were not phased by the restrictions. They just got on with the job at hand and worked so hard for us to get a result we are happy with.

We had not been looking forward to selling but felt through this whole process that we were all a great team. We cannot recommend Leila and Zoe-Lou highly enough, and miss their smiling faces and bubbly personalities. Thanks, so much Ladies. You are the best.

Chris & Nolene

“Leila and Zoe-Lou were so warm and positive when they came to appraise our home. It made the process seem exciting rather than daunting. They put me at ease and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. Their advice and help along the journey of getting our home market ready was fantastic. Although our house didn't make it to market due to an early offer, Leila and Zoe-Lou were great at talking us through our options and making sure we were well informed every step of the way. The process was so easy and straight forward thanks to their knowledge and experience."

Gareth & Tammy Heeps

Leila and Zoe-Lou know their market well. They led us through the uncertainty of selling during level 4 restrictions and exceeded our expectations with both the outcome, and their caring and professional style.

Kent & Haley Simpson

Outstandingly Professional
We’ve had a wonderful experience marketing our home with Leila and Zoe-Lou Morris - the mother-daughter duo. They are a professional team, and we felt our property was in excellent hands between the two of them. From the initial sign-up through to the auction, they made the process streamlined and made us feel at ease. They were able to offer advice when it came to staging our home and kept us informed every step of the way. Their attention to detail was outstanding when it came to marketing our home through to a successful sale.

We would highly recommend Leila and Zoe-Lou to any prospective vendors or purchasers.

Grant & Janine Maddren

Highly recommended real estate salespeople!!

Leila & Zoe-Lou have been amazing support on our quest to find a home. Excellent communication at all times and very professional in all ways. What a fab combo! Thank you so much for your for being part of our journey!

Cath & Al Watson

Thank you, Leila and Zoe Lou. As vendors, we had never auctioned our house before. Leila and Zoe communicated after every open home, feedback, and information to help us make decisions about price and the auction. Dealing with many interested parties, Leila handled them all with a great result. SOLD at Auction.

We recommend them highly.

Monique Knight & Bruce Burr

Leila is great for making things happen. She attracted key prospects. They were happy with all the facts she provided and didn't waste our time either. It is great when you have the confidence to relax and leave it all to the experts! We were confident that the offer she had arranged was ideal for both the purchaser and us, and we all were delighted with the results. No time was lost, and she provided an excellent service that was worry-free for us, and we all were delighted with the amicable result she achieved for us all. Well done.

Tappeto Trust Ltd

Great Sales Duo

Leila and Zoe-Lou were very professional and enthusiastic salespeople. A great choice for us as they knew the location and local market well. They gave excellent guidance regarding the marketing programme and preparing the property for photos and open homes. We were in regular contact for updates on open homes and interest shown throughout the marketing period. This support continued following the auction to the conclusion of the sale.

A great team and result!

Ian & Penny Jarvie

Mother Daughter Team Morris ..... You Rock!!

Selling your home is a daunting process. To begin with, we made a few mistakes as one does. Once we had decided to go with Team Morris … yes, correct... Leila and Zoe-Lou come as a team....we, at last, had a clear direction and a positive way forward.

We were very fussy about how we wanted our open homes run, and we stipulated two salespeople must be on-site during these times. This wasn't an issue for the team. Three open homes later, and we were sold. It was a great result, and Leila and Zoe-Lou worked tirelessly during this time to get the result we were after. We were disappointed that they had to share the commission with another salesperson who did not contribute to the selling of our home. But the competition in the auction room brought us an excellent sale price. We cannot say a bad word about Leila and Zoe - Lou Morris and highly recommend them.

Rob & Yvonne Pilkington

5 Star Salespeople!

Leila and her daughter Zoe-Lou were a pleasure to deal with. They were professional and personable. Very helpful both before and after purchase. We would highly recommend their services.

Richard & Alex Light

Fabulous Mother/Daughter Team!!

It has been really nice dealing with a mother/daughter team. Leila and Zoe-Lou helped in any way they could to make the whole selling process easier for me, which meant a lot to me personally as I was unwell at the time. Zoe did our open homes, and she was awesome. Warm and friendly to everyone who came and called me with excellent feedback from them. Leila was a wealth of knowledge from staging our home through to our auction. She was with us the whole time and told us step-by-step what was happening. Her negotiation skills sealed a deal for us, which we were delighted with. I wish them both nothing but the best in the years ahead.

Vanessa Dyson & Iosefo Lipine

Hello Leila

Over many years we have seen you at many of the open homes you have held in our local area. You have always been welcoming and eager to answer any questions, and the professionalism you have displayed has been exemplary. When the time came to select a salesperson to sell our home, it was an easy choice.

Leila and Zoe-Lou, please accept our sincerest gratitude for your efforts in selling our waterfront property. You presented a concise, no 'BS' plan on how you would market our property, and at no time did we feel coerced into anything we did not feel comfortable with. The sale of our home, of nearly 20 years, was complicated by highly charged emotional factors, and you both handled all matters with sensitivity and understanding.

Throughout the campaign, we witnessed 'no-stone-unturned ' efforts to ensure our property was seen by as many potential buyers as possible. You succeeded in bringing genuine buyers to the Auction room, and we believe a true market value price was achieved.

It was evident that the 'Mother and Daughter team' approach was integral to meeting the demands of an intense marketing campaign. We would not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone who is contemplating selling their property.

Yours sincerely

Shane & Gale Hollis

Thank you, Leila and Zoe Lou. As vendors, we had never auctioned our house before. Leila and Zoe communicated after every open home, feedback, and information to help us make decisions about price and the auction. Dealing with many interested parties, Leila handled them all with a great result. SOLD at Auction!

We recommend them highly.

Monique Knight & Bruce Burr

The dynamic duo of Leila Morris and Zoe-Lou Morris brings together years of professional experience and passionate innovation to marketing and successfully selling property. That’s how they were able to sell our large rural property in Waimauku in an amazingly short period of time. And everything went so smoothly, seemingly effortless left in their safe hands. They guided us every step of the way, from giving useful tips on how to better prepare the property for marketing, to keeping us constantly informed about every aspect of the marketing campaign and the eventual sale.

We were also pleased with the way they dealt with the tenants on the property, with great care and understanding. Leila came to us highly recommended by a mutual acquaintance, a former real estate colleague of hers, and it is without hesitation that we highly recommend both Leila and Zoe-Lou if you are looking to sell your property.

Lou Pangelinan & Janet O'Connor

I want to thank Leila for the recent marketing and sale of my property in Huapai. I have no hesitation in recommending Leila and daughter Zoe-Lou to anyone. Their dedication and professionalism were outstanding throughout the whole process. They had great communication and feedback and kept me informed the entire time.

I will definitely use them again in the future.

Thank you Leila and Zoe-Lou; a job well done.

Grant Whitford

Leila and Zoe-Lou are a blue-ribbon team. I was really impressed with Leila and Zoe-Lou’s communication and manner with both myself and my tenant. With extremely high work standards, they went above and beyond to ensure that the property was marketed to achieve the best result. It was advantageous having two salespeople to be across such a high volume of interest within such a short period of time.

I couldn’t have asked for anything more than what they brought to marketing my property.

My sincere thanks

Amber

I recently sold my property in Whenuapai through Leila and Zoe-Lou Morris of Barfoot & Thompson West Harbour.

As a first home seller, both the salespeople were very helpful throughout the process, professional, and were always on hand when needed. Although the property was slightly more difficult to market from others in its price range, I am very happy with the result they got at auction and know full well the busy marketing they did all hours of the day to get a result.

Thanks team, would be more than happy to sell through you both again.

Jason Koenen - Hobsonville

We recently engaged Leila Morris and Zoe-Lou Morris to sell our rental property in West Harbour. The communication throughout the process and the dedication and drive to get a positive sale result was second-to-none. The property sold well above our appraised value, and we are both very happy with the result. Leila and Zoe-Lou did not disappoint, and we will continue to use them in our future property transactions.

Anthony & Nicole Bitossi

We would like to express our thanks to Leila for the way that she went about selling our property recently in Whenuapai. She listened to our requirements and, in return, gave us accurate and solid advice on how to market our property. Leila, at all times, was professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. She gave us regular honest feedback from all showings, and we were rewarded with a sale on our home. Well done, Leila! It has been a pleasure dealing with you.

Alison Munce & Patrick Timmis

Thank you so much for selling our house. You managed the sales process in such a professional and supportive way, ensuring we had a stress-free and very successful outcome. Your warm and positive attitude helped us and the buyers achieve an excellent result.

I highly recommend you as a salesperson and look forward to working with you in the future.

Kind regards

Cath & Alan Watson

Very professional, great results.
The fact that we have used Leila whenever we needed help over the years for our personal sales and any purchasing of properties, with excellent results, and we strongly recommend her to others, says it all. She is great at communicating with the market and achieving a good, fair deal for all concerned. Very professional. We appreciate her service and never any problems.

Tappeto Trust

I chose Leila to sell my Whenuapai house in 2016 and now my Henderson property in 2020. I find her generally upbeat, dedicated, and can maintain certain professional impartiality in times of difficulty.

Presentation – Presentation - Presentation is Leila's hallmark delivering a very satisfactory and quick result. Well done Leila!

Yvette Watson

I would like to express my gratitude to Leila Morris for her unfailing professionalism in dealing with the recent sale of my parents home. She was supportive and helpful in arranging people to do gardening, painting and staging of the home so that it appeared at its’ best during the open homes, and was always polite and cheerful even through the frustrations of ‘Covid Lockdowns’.

We were able to achieve a good result at the auction and this was largely due to her efforts. I would recommend Leila highly as a real estate agent and would not hesitate to use her again.

Kind Regards

Vicky Austen

Selecting Leila as our salesperson was the best choice we could have made when it came to selling our house. Right from the beginning she was friendly and professional, taking an interest in every detail of our house. Her enthusiasm and sense of humour made her very easy to communicate with and she kept us informed every step of the way.

Leila worked hard to sell our house and we had the utmost trust in her judgment as we knew she had our best interests at heart. We were thrilled with the final outcome.

If you’re looking for an salesperson who is personable, professional and highly motivated, look no further than Leila. She was committed to the process of selling our house - from staging the initial photo shoot through to closing the deal.

Philip & Victoria

Thank you so much for everything. Leila Morris was absolutely caring and respectful of everything we were wanting from the sale of our home. My husband and I had no idea on the best way to move forward with selling our family home of 35 years. The property being in the family since 1944, it was a major emotional journey for us. Leila came and met with us and provided us with how to prepare the property. Every step of the way she made sure we were happy and kept in contact whenever we needed her. She never pushed us to do anything we didn't feel comfortable about. Leila contacted us with feedback after each open home and her knowledge on how the market is going, was absolutely spot on. She explained the auction process, making us feel relaxed, and on the day took care of us every step of the way. Every bit of advice Leila gave us from our first meeting paid off. I would highly recommend Leila Morris to anyone looking to sell their home. She made us feel so comfortable.

Steve & Christine Jeffries, Herald Island

Kia ora Leila. John and I would like to express our thanks and gratitude for the way you marketed our property, keeping us up to date after each open home was great. Your tips for marketing were simple but effective and things flowed effortlessly with the presentation. Auction was a new experience and we are grateful for your expertise in getting us a good price for the market. We could not have chosen a better person. Professional, friendly and very knowledgeable of the market. I would recommend you to anyone wishing to sell their property and know for sure they would be satisfied.

Heni and John Hyland

"Leila has done a fantastic job of helping us with the sale of our home. From small little tips on presenting the house to the marketing strategy we could not fault it. All the way through the process she kept us informed, updating us after open homes and giving us feedback. The communication was fantastic. Come the Auction day, a new process for us, Leila was there to support us and to achieve our sale. While looking for our new home Leila provided advice and information on prospective properties. An end to end service. We cannot recommend Leila highly enough. Very professional, friendly and great knowledge of Herald Island and the local housing market."

Carl & Becky

We took some time selecting an agent for the sale of our house on Herald Island. We were seeking someone who knew the local market but also understood the construction and consenting issues that can sometimes get in the way of a sale. Leila proved to be excellent in both areas, and her cheerful and hardworking disposition made the process as painless as it could be. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Leila to our friends and neighbours.

Ken & Gillian Clive

Just want to 'thank you', Leila, for taking care of the sale of our family home. We liked your warm and friendly personality the moment we met you. At no stage did we feel pressured, or obligated to list with you, which
impressed us. Leaving the sale of dads' home in your hands, was a totally stress free experience and your genuine care and respect you gave us, was very much appreciated. Your integrity, confidence, and professionalism were exceptional and we would have no hesitation in recommending you to others.
Kind regards

Ian & Jo Stewart, Herald Island

"Leila Morris is an exceptional agent."

Jenny Ritchie, Herald Island

I am a real estate agent, however I chose not to sell my own home. The reason is simple. Real estate agents get too personal when it comes to their own property.

Leila is a lovely lady, smiling and laughing always. She took on our property with positive energy despite all the problems associated with the house and cladding. She dealt with a tenant professionally and although she was not allowed to do any open homes, she presented an offer to us after a few short weeks. We would have liked to have achieved more but given the market conditions we decided to move on. In hindsight we are happy to have sold. She was very firm in giving us honest feedback. She is an experienced agent who has handled difficult vendors with high price expectations and we were no exception. Many vendors choose not to listen and ultimately regret not selling. I'm very glad she was firm and stood her ground. Her after sales service was also highly commendable as she tirelessly listened to vendor, purchaser and tenant requests to ensure a smooth settlement. I have no hesitation in recommending Leila and will likely use her again in the future.

Angeline WongBayleys Real Estate

Dear Leila

I would like to thankyou for the extra mile you went for me to bring together the sale of my home. I do believe your always poised and positive attitude made me stay focused on the goal at hand when times got tough for me personally. I loved the way you presented the property to the market. The home was presented in a very classy and modern way and the dramatic evening photo shots were just so impressive. I can clearly see you enjoy what you do in the busy world of real estate and you do it with so much grace. Thank you for all of your help, Leila. You have helped me more than you know.
Yours sincerely

Lee Auckett, Riverhead

We had to get Leila Morris to sell our house.

Her record spoke for itself. We had called into one of her open homes a few years before and she had become an instant friend. It was a pleasure to have Leila present our house to the market. She combined a professional sales strategy, with hard work and her natural, charming personality. In no time at all she had our house looking at its spectacular best and a good amount of serious interest. We can now look back and reflect on our decision to list with her. If we were to sell again tomorrow, we would call the best, we would call Leila!

Jason & Cathy, Herald Island

Selling, buying and moving properties can be one of the most stressful experiences in life. From the time we listed our property to sell till the day of settlement we can reflect on a truly exemplary service that Leila conducted in selling our home. Throughout the entire process, her communication was outstanding. Every email, text or phone call was attended to which meant we were always in the loop about what was happening. The other key attribute we felt was her dedication and drive to get the deal done. Especially as we sold during the often quite Christmas period this really stood out to us. Overall Leila's professionalism, service and communication are second to none. We have no doubt we choose the right agent to sell our property and would be happy to recommend her to anybody selecting an agent to sell there's."

Anthony & Nicole Bitossi

We engaged Leila to sell our Whenuapai home of 26 years as we viewed her as something of a "Whenuapai Specialist". We found Leila to be extremely friendly and professional and full of good advice! The marketing plan she proposed was quick, simple and not too disruptive to our busy lives. She conducted a number of open homes and was meticulous in giving us feedback from prospective buyers. We are confident that Leila made every effort to achieve the best price possible for us at the time. Barfoot's fees were very reasonable and the marketing and advertising costs for the auction were considerably less than expected. We would strongly recommend Barfoot and Thompson, and Leila Morris in particular, to anyone contemplating selling their property.

Hale Family, Whenuapai

Leila has sold two properties successfully for us recently. Her hardworking, dedicated efforts in a changing market, were much appreciated by us. Leila's friendly, bubbly and positive attitude made working with her a pleasure.
Thank you Leila

Sue and John

We contacted Leila when we decided to put our house up for sale after 35 years of living in Whenuapai Village, because we knew she had sold several other properties in our area. When Leila first came to see us, and explain about the process of marketing and selling by auction, it was all a bit confusing, but she carefully explained everything in detail, and answered all our questions directly. Because Leila was so professional, friendly and positive, we chose her to be our agent, the knowledge and experience she has, made the whole process less daunting than we thought. When we discussed the photos's, Leila offered sensible, practical advise. On the day of the auction Leila kept us informed of what was happening, we had no concerns. We would recommend Leila to anyone considering selling their home.

G & J Elliott

I have written a testimonial for the agent we used. We would definitely recommend her (Leila Morris) and therefore Barfoot & Thompson to anyone we knew was looking to buy/sell a house. We think the individual agent was the main reason we were happy but acknowledge that she has the support of her company.

Christine Gasson & Stuart Newby

We first met Leila at an open home.....a property we subsequently purchased. Leila was extremely helpful with the purchase of this property, via auction, without compromising her professionalism as the agent for the vendor.

We have friends who have sold through Leila and have great respect for her, so when it came time to sell our long time family home a few weeks later, we didn't even bother to "shop around". We enlisted Leila as our agent immediately. She had initially offered her services, but was in no way "pushy" and we never felt obliged to hire her even though we had originally purchased through her.

Leila is extremely professional and ensured that everything from the affordable marketing, our complicated open homes through to the auction went according to our instructions, met and exceeded all of our expectations.

Not only did we hire an experienced, knowledgeable agent, but we also ended up with a long time friend. We sold via auction on the day.....as expected.

Thank you Leila....a job well done.

Leigh and Shayne Chalklen, Whenuapai

We were pretty discouraged after spending upwards of $30,000 on marketing of our fabulous home based on a previous agents estimated value. So, when Leila from Barfoot & Thompson approached us to list it with her we were a little over it all. However, Leila seemed to understand us and our house. She knew the area, she recognized the unique features, and didn't try to hide the fact that the kitchen was a little tired. She convinced us she could sell our home and immediately went into action arranging a superb staging by Living Edge, within a more reasonable budget; new photography and listings in the NZ Herald Homes. As well, she advised on adding a few inexpensive finishing touches to show off some of the special aspects of the home. With a Barfoot & Thompson listing we had the whole Barfoot & Thompson network selling our house too. And sure enough, on auction day, Leila sold our house!

So we learned the hard way that some agents are better than others. Some agencies have more powerful marketing capability, and with some agencies, the charges and commission arrangements are fairer than others.
If we ever have to sell another house, I would call Leila first. She really knows what she is doing (and is a genuine pleasure to work with!).

Suzanne and Richard, Ferry Pde, Herald Island

"After researching a number of prominent Real Estate Agents in the area, we were so pleased that we had chosen Leila to sell our Herald Island home. We felt that taking our "pride and joy" to the market would be a massive responsibility, Leila's experience and professionalism came to the fore as she guided us through this difficult and emotional process. Leila's input into the marketing, strategy, attention to detail and staging our home, not only presented our home in the best possible way to the market, we achieved a fantastic result!
Our message to anyone who is serious about selling their home, its simple, engage the best, let Leila weave her magic and be as thrilled with the results as we are."

Reece and Kay Jones - Herald Island

A very big thank you to you, Leila for the fantastic job that you did in successfully selling our beautiful home. You have been a great support to us and you kept us informed at all times with what was happening. You organised everything so efficiently and your enthusiasm was appreciated. Thank you so much! My family and I are very grateful for the outcome and I certainly would recommend you for a job so well done. It was and is a pleasure to know you.

Willy Bonsel and Family

We engaged Leila to sell our parents property on Herald Island. Right from the beginning Leila presented as a professional with a warm infectious personality and showed excitement and enthusiasm in regards to our marketing and open homes. This made the whole process of selling an effortless experience and Leila sold the property at auction with huge success. We would definitely engage in Leila's services again and highly recommend her as the person to go to if you are in the market. Leila's marketing skills are top notch and highly professional.

Michelle Maurice/Margaret Campbell - Herald Island

There is not a whole more that I can say about Leila that hasn't already been said in the other recommendations. Her commitment to getting the best possible outcome for us as the vendors was more than outstanding.
As we live in Brisbane the curve balls that potential buyers were throwing at us caused a huge amount of stress but Leila was always on hand with her professional and positive outlook.
We have sold a number of houses over the years, but never have we dealt with a real estate salesperson as dedicated and forthcoming as Leila. She has totally earned her commission and Peter and I can't recommend her highly enough.

Erica and Peter Aptroot

We engaged Leila Morris to sell our home after we had spoken with people who she had previously sold homes for and we are so delighted with the way she handled everything. From the outset Leila was extremely professional and pleasant to deal with, at no time did she tell us what to do but gave us her expert advice which we were grateful to receive. The open homes leading up to the auction and sale of the home went so smoothly because of the way Leila handled everything and everyone. Leila listens to the vendors and the client's needs and pulls it all together to obtain the final result, the sale. We are very happy that our home sold, very happy with the price we received and very happy with the people who will now live in it thanks to Leila's very special expertise. Her fees and advertising costs were reasonable and affordable. We would strongly recommend Leila to anyone who would like a hassle free sale of their home. Thank you Leila you are an asset to your profession.

Lew and Gail Johns, WHENUAPAI

We selected Leila after an examination of several local agents. Her charm and pleasant manner were real strengths - and we knew from word-of-mouth that she was a positive and hardworking agent. Selling a home can be torturous, but it's a heck of a lot easier if you are teamed up with Leila. We would recommend her to anyone thinking of selling... highly skilled in the trade with a really good understanding of buyers, markets and what works.

The Greig family, Herald Island, Auckland

Leila was recommended to us by a friend, and what a difference she has made! Saved on fees and the marketing was right on target and minimum cost. We are delighted with her personal service. Now we've had the pleasure of Leila's service selling two of our houses over the recent years, and she helped us to purchased one. Leila has had great commercial success within the real estate industry and offers a high level of professionalism and integrity. Best of all, she listens to what we want, and is thorough with everyone she brings through to look at our house.
We would recommend Leila to anyone wanting top service and minimum costs. She gets in and gets the job done, minimizes any frustrations and produces with a good result while maintaining your confidence.

Right from the get go Leila Morris showed what an extraordinary sales person she is. She pulled together a campaign that realised her total commitment to getting our property sold. She knows every facet of the house selling business and communicated that knowledge precisely and clearly to us at all times. Leila is dynamic and very personable and very professional. And importantly for a client, she listens! We're sure our property would still be on the market if it wasn't for Leila. She went the extra mile and it paid off. She's worth her weight in gold.

Wayne Tourell & Helen Bissett

Leila has been our agent for two real estate property transactions now and we have been delighted with her service. She is highly professional, honest, and an expert in her field - both in terms of selling as well as purchasing. Leila presents well, offers helpful advice based on her years of experience and she works tirelessly for her clients. She was able to locate and close a purchase for us on a property that ideally suited our needs and later she assisted with selling a property and achieving an excellent price. She was always calm, friendly and efficient in her interactions and she was fantastic in keeping us informed throughout the entire process. We would definitely use her again and recommend her to others.

Maria & Malcolm Hayward

Leila Morris was the real estate agent for the sale of my house. Leila was extremely professional throughout the process. She was able to balance me when things weren't going as I hoped. She achieved a sale and was able to get me and the buyers to meet in the middle. We ended up with a great result with both buyers and vendor very happy. I particularly found Leila to be a gifted negotiator.
All in all she made the whole journey fun, and I strongly recommend her to anyone contemplating selling their property.

Peter Dean

A brief note to tell you how pleased we are at the successful outcome you have achieved for us with our house sale at Herald Island. We have spent a large part of our time here renovating and improving the property so obviously it was very important for us to achieve an outcome that recognised this input.

Leila, we were impressed from the very beginning with your enthusiasm and your wide experience of selling in this area showed. Your indication as to valuation was accurate and we were pleased that you shared our own views on how special this property is and were able to successfully translate that enthusiasm and know how into a successful result. Your guidance and attention to detail was much appreciated by us and we are sure also by the purchaser.

We would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone wanting a dynamic and enthusiastic person to sell a property in the North West.

Bill and Jo Mathews

When we first met Leila we were instantly comfortable with the prospect of her selling our home. Leila was honest and professional, and had a wonderful sparkling personality.

Right from making the all-important decision of choosing Leila, we knew we had made the right one. Leila instantly got to work on making a few changes to the layout of our rooms and gave us plenty of input as to how to present our home, even down to a simple light fitting. All of this attention to detail made our home look absolutely amazing, and made it shine to the best of its ability. At one point we even questioned why we were selling our beautiful home! A lot of this was down to Leila's fantastic eye for detail and her drive to get the best out of her vendors. This was even more apparent when looking for our new home and noticing that other houses were not presented in the same way. The responsibility of presentation of a listing seemed to be something that many agents were willing to waiver.

Leila's charm instantly makes people feel at ease and surely made a welcoming experience for any client viewing our home. Her professionalism and drive led us to being very happy with the price that she negotiated for our property, and we knew that she got the best price possible.

When selling your home you need to choose an agent that will fight for your home the same way you would. Leila definitely took this on and spoke highly of our home with the love and respect that we had for it.

We would highly recommend Leila to anyone wishing to get the best for their home. And best of all, at the end of the experience, you end up with a great long lasting connection.

Leila thank you for making selling our home such a great experience.

Grant & Rebecca Mathie

Selling a property is never an easy task, but Leila made it a whole lot easier. Attention to detail, simply doing what was scheduled, needed, and all the extra bits simply made it happen.
A pleasure to deal with, top job and thanks again Leila.

Gary and Christine Pearce

It is a pleasure to find a real professional when you go through the emotive frustrations of selling your home. Leila has the unexpected ability to grasp exactly what you hoping to achieve, guide you through the process and find a win-win result for all concerned. There is a very fine line between over ambitious real estate professionals and the sincerity that makes the process all hassle free.

Well done, Leila. Should we ever have the need again, we know who to call.

Noel and Pamela

Leila was brilliant from start to completion of sale. She has a wealth of knowledge and expertise in sales, marketing and visual aspects of selling a property. She was personable, yet professional through the whole process. She surpassed our expectations as an agent and delivered the results we had hoped for. We will definitely use Leila again and would highly recommend her.
Thanks Leila you are an absolute star!

Pippa Schmid and Hugh Nisbet

Leila provided us with a very clear marketing plan and was always responsive to what changes were needed as the market changed. We were very confident with Leila's professionalism and her desire to achieve a positive outcome for us. Leila has a high level of integrity and an energetic and strong but not aggressive style of working which we appreciated.

Julie and Pauline

Leila was part of a team that sold our property for us in Riddell Road in Glendowie. She was professional and helpful all the way through the process. She has a keen eye for detail and helps with the best way to exhibit your property to its full potential. She was expert at what she did and helpful all the way through the process.

Jacqui van Koningsveld

I purchased my home through Leila just over a year ago. The purchase was a breeze. Leila was utterly professional during the process and always at the end of the phone with any queries that I may have had. I have just sold my home and Leila was on hand again to make the process easy and pleasant. I would have no hesitation in recommending Leila as a highly competent, friendly and approachable agent getting the best possible price for me as a vendor.

Rebecca Erskine

"If you're looking for a sound investment- you've found it! Externally, well presented, solidly built, charming and warm and full of character. Internally, professional, diligent, and experienced, and listens to ones needs.
Leila Morris, who else?!

When all the properties out there are much of a muchness, Leila made the difference!"

Dr Steven Tan and Rebecca Tan

"We had the pleasure of buying a house through Leila as well as listing and selling a house with her.

As a buyer, we were provided with plenty of information and treated with care and respect. Leila was very friendly and helpful to us.

When we listed our house for sale with Leila (immediately after we purchased through her) we were treated to exceptional service. Leila's attention to detail was outstanding and this was particularly noticeable with the wonderful pictures and advertising that she prepared to market our house. We were overseas whilst open homes were held, so Leila was in full control of our house ensuring everything was perfect at all times.

We were very fortunate to have 2 pre-auction offers during the first week of the process and were able to sell our house within 2 weeks at a price we were pleased with. During this time Leila was great at keeping us well informed of the activity around our house even though we were out of the country. From our perspective it was a very easy process that was managed extremely well by Leila.

I would strongly recommend Leila to act as an agent to buy or sell a home with.

Thank you Leila."

Elaine and Jason Watson

"Leila worked very hard and had a great understanding of the whole process. As a person Leila was a pleasure to work with easy to talk to a good listener, easy to contact and always prompt at returning our calls or answering our questions. We absolutely recommend Leila to anybody."

Jan and Giny Perdok

"We engaged Leila Morris to market our home in St Heliers and have found her to be of excellent character. Leila has very good communication skills and presents herself well on every occasion. She has recently sold our home and achieved a satisfactory outcome. We would recommend her to other vendors in this area."

Jack & Robin Dawson

"...Leila's warm and engaging personality, gentle sense of humour and above all passion for her role were the things that stood out to us when asking her to work with us to sell our property.

Having now both purchased and sold a property with Leila, we know that these are qualities attract buyers and make Leila's listings stand out...

Of course, she is absolutely professional and competent in her role...Throughout the sale process, Leila kept us fully informed. She provided timely feedback on the viewings and open homes, plus written weekly progress reports.

All decisions were ours. We retained control of the process and were not pressured, instead we were well supported by appropriate counsel and thorough research from Leila.

Our home sold at auction within the time frame proposed by Leila, and we are pleased with the outcome. Leila's professionalism and enthusiasm has made the whole sale process a pleasant experience and much less stressful than it could otherwise have been."

Michelle Willetts & Paul Dunne

"... On this advice I contacted Leila who came to our home, made an appraisal and said she would present a selling strategy if we wished. We agreed to this and a few days later Leila presented a very full proposal with a suggested budget on advertising that we accepted.

Leila impressed us with her commonsense practical business approach with a view to presenting the property for sale by Auction or private treaty depending on interest in the property.

We received great advice from Leila on how to present our home for prospective buyers.

...It was a very good experience and should anyone be considering selling their property in the Eastern Bays I would like to recommend Leila to them.

My wife who spent some years in real estate, during which time she met many people in the industry commented to me Leila was one of the best marketing and real estate presenters she had worked with.

Michael Kitt

Leila Morris is a friendly, flexible, reliable, patient and a hard working person. She is also self-motivated with the ability to work effectively and maintain the relationship with the clients.
I have recently sold and bought properties through her and will not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who requires her professional services.
Should you require further information or clarification regarding Leila's credentials, you can contract me at 09 578 0202 or 021 527 055"

William T.

"As you know our house went "unconditional" this morning. Eli and I both want to express our gratitude to Barfoot and Thompson for acting on our behalf. Sincere and special thanks to Leila Morris. Leila has sold two home's for us in the short space of one year. In both cases, she has gone the extra mile and always with a smile on her face. She is truly a hardworking lady who could be called upon at any time for advice and assistant. Rain, wind or sun, Leila puts on her "positive" hat and carries on regardless. Leila is passionate about her work and certainly does not lack perseverance. Barfoot and Thompson should be very proud to have such a dedicated member on their team. We are "packing for Perth" but can assure you that we will recommend Leila and your organization to anyone we know, selling or buying, in the future."

Bev Salant

"Sold my house!

Leila was like a breath of fresh air in her approach, with an abundance of charm, perseverance, humour and personality plus.

This combined with her sound guidance and professionalism made, what can be an arduous process, effective and a successful experience for me."

Luoni C.

"Dear Leila,

We would like to thank you for all your help in executing the sale of our properties at 381 Riddell Road, Glendowie.

We admire greatly your professionalism and great attention to detail. There is no doubt that you are tireless in your devotion to a project.

We were always kept up to date with progress through both marketing program's and we respected your candid advice as we drew closer to Auction time.
It is certainly refreshing to have such clear and honest guidance from a real estate professional.

We look forward to dealing with you in the future."

Jan and Glenn C.

"I first met Leila when I was viewing a number of open homes one weekend. I saw around 8 homes and registered my name with the agency at each home. Leila was the only agent who followed up my interest in any of the homes.

As a result, when we were ready to put our home on the market, I knew from the experience I had had with agents to date that Leila would work the hardest for us to followup any potential purchasers.

We invited Leila into our home to discuss listing it and from that moment she was all go. At that meeting she arranged a staging service, a photographer and gave us advice on how best to present our home, what points could be better presented and what small fixes were worth making. Her honesty and sincerity immediately gave us comfort that she would present our home in the best possible way and therefore generate as much potential interest as possible.

In the short time between listing, the photo shoot (which was absolutely stunning!), publishing in the property press and our first open home Leila regularly kept in contact with us to ensure we were on task and offered help if we needed it.

After every open home Leila called us with feedback and within 10 days brought a very good offer to the table and discussed what our next steps could be.

We sold our property within a few weeks of that first meeting with Leila and are very comfortable that we got the best price we could have.

And in the meantime, Leila tirelessly helped us and kept us informed of any properties she thought we might be interested in purchasing.

Leila comes highly recommended by my husband and me. There are so many agents out there but very few that have demonstrated the commitment, enthusiasm and passion that Leila shows - and she does it all with a smile, a sense of humour and that German organizational ability!"

Helen C. and Frank W.

"Hi David,

As you know our house went "unconditional" this morning.

Bev and Eli S.

We engaged Leila to quietly market our property to a select few buyers. Leila engaged her wide network of colleagues and was successful almost immediately in finding a purchaser for our home, on terms and conditions that suited us perfectly. Leila is tenacious and very focused and we would recommend her to other prospective Vendors.

Sloane & Colin S.

Having dealt with Leila recently for the purchase of a new property and then the sale of our existing property, I am please to highly recommend her ability as a salesperson.

... It was Leila's professional approach and work ethic that encouraged us to list our property with her. She assessed our property for sale and we respected her 'straight shooting' approach towards the marketing and presentation. From Leila's experience, she advised us not to over capitalise when presenting our property and saved us thousands that we may have spent unnecessarily. We felt confident with Leila and hoped for a quick sale...

With just two weeks left until settlement, Leila confirmed that she had achieved a cash unconditional offer within our required settlement date for the exact price we had hoped to achieve.

Thanks for everything Leila, it doesn't get any better than that!

Darcy & Michelle W.

Leila has sold two properties for us over recent years.
Her professional manner, diligence and strong interpersonal skills have made a real difference to the sales outcome.
Leila is an astute judge of character when it comes to potential buyers, negotiates well, and is one of the best agents we have worked with in over twenty five years of working in property ourselves.

Mark and Debbie L

"I write on behalf of my family to express our thanks to Leila Morris to procure an unconditional purchase of our family home, at 91a Tautari St., Orakei, Auckland even before the erection of the Sale signage on our property.

The format of her presentation, in the sale proposals, really impressed me with high standard of professionalism. In person, I can see her as a vibrant and forceful Sales Person, thus, I would like to suggest her service to anyone who would ask me to recommend and I have just done that".

Billy Oon

"After going through the process of selling a house, we can genuinely say that Leila Morris took the stress and anxiety away. Whether it was following up queries or chasing down potential buyers, Leila always had her hand on the pulse. As a result we were well informed of everything that was happening thanks to her updates. By the auction day she managed to generate enough competition maximising our result.

We have no hesitation recommending Leila to anyone who is looking at selling their house."

Konrad & Aryanne

"What a day! We are still pinching ourselves that the house sold, as you can imagine.

We both would like to say how much we appreciate all you have put into the process, from the purchase side through to our 2 sales (well, 1 sale with one on the way!).

It has been a pleasure to have you along side us".

Brett & Di

"We are trying to come to terms with how quickly our property sold with the very committed help of Leila. It didn't get to the open home as Leila had done such a good job of selling our property within 24 hours of going to the market. We found her very considerate and understanding of our feelings at the time. We recommend Leila if you want your property to go market"

Fay and John Mitchell

"Thoroughly enjoyed dealing with Leila and she always delivered on everything she said she would do. It was a "wow" result. I would not hesitate in recommending Leila, and can't speak highly enough of her. Again, thank you Leila"

Tracey Phipps

"We were lucky enough to have Leila assist us both in the sale of our townhouse and in the purchase of our new family home. We were impressed with her ability and attitude throughout the entire process. She is a consummate professional with sound judgement and her years of experience in the industry meant that we were in safe hands. Engaging, and personable, Leila is determined to get the best outcome for her clients. Always contactable and responsive, Leila never failed to go the extra mile for us. We are now in our dream home - thank you Leila!"

"Leila sold our home recently, achieving a result we could only dream of. Throughout the entire process her commitment to our property made it appear it was the total focus of her life -yet clearly that could not possibly be. From the time she first viewed the house she recognised features which set it apart from others in its price range and then delighted in drawing buyers' attention to what was offered. As vendors we could not have asked for better service. It made us imagine how comforting it would have been for any patient Leila cared for in her earlier career as a nurse and to understand why she reached the most senior position then available to her. The administrative skills she was to take to event management projects through Europe now underpin her life in a real estate in New Zealand. Leila is quite clear about why she enjoys selling property: "I'm so proud of the homes I'm invited to market and I love the people I meet - whether they are buying or selling," she said when we asked what lay behind her success rate. Whatever drives Leila's success it certainly includes personality, integrity and dedication. Long may she love her job because we'd certainly want her to handle any future sale we might contemplate."

"We would like to give our sincere thanks to Leila and the team in Barfoot & Thompson in selling our property in Kohimarama. We are very impressed by Leila's professionalism and prompt response in every question we've asked during the process. Leila is very friendly and has made the selling process as stress-free as possible. She is a good listener and has very good communication skills and kept us well informed during the process.
We received great advice from Leila on how to present our home to potential buyers and we like her strategy on doing open homes only on Sundays.
Our home was sold in Auction after 3 weeks of open homes at a satisfactory price. We would not hesitate to recommend Leila to anyone considering of selling their property in the Eastern Bays."

Vincent & Jennifer Au-Yeung

We recently sold our house through Leila, and we're very pleased. She kept us up-to-date throughout the process, with regular phone calls as well as written reports. Her experience and knowledge, as well as her honesty and openness helped put us at ease, we knew we were in good hands.

Not only is Leila an excellent salesperson, she has a genuine warmth and effervescence about her which makes her a pleasure to have around. We would recommend Leila to anyone, she's awesome.

Thanks Leila!

We're just coming down to earth again after a state of euphoria. You see, Leila effectively sold our house within three days of it going on the market. Effectively, because by the end of second open home there were already other registered bidders for the auction. The auction was brought forward but the other bidders didn't raise a finger so the offer price - which became the reserve - brought the hammer down.
It's the stuff every vendor dreams of. It was fantastic to have reached a sale and purchase agreement right at the beginning of the anticipated three week marketing period. It was even more fantastic to see the offer that Leila had brought to the table. She knew our expectations but exceeded them - brilliant!
We first came to know Leila when she worked with a colleague on the sale of a house we then owned. When it came to moving on again we asked Leila once more to be involved - again successfully. This last sale is the third where we've seen the results of her ability.
She's so easy to work with, nothing is too much trouble - even vendor demands - and we can only imagine how delightful she must be to deal with when you're the purchaser.
Integrity, enthusiasm and a real understanding of the buying and selling situation:
Leila seems to have been born to the job.
Seriously, we would recommend unconditionally the marketing service she provides.
