About Lara Robus

It’s the excitement and challenge of real estate that brings me to work every day. I love meeting people from all walks of life, and I find it thrilling to be involved in their life-changing decisions! My goal with every client is to make every transaction, whether buying or selling, stress-free and most of all, enjoyable.

I’m proud to work for Barfoot & Thompson, a family-owned company with firm family values and a salesforce of 1,800+. The Kerikeri branch is a successful, friendly and supportive environment that I love being a part of.

In 2009, I moved to Auckland from Europe and in 2012, I made the move north to Kerikeri. I adore the outdoor lifestyle that the Bay of Islands has to offer – the weather, the beaches and the close community vibe make it quite simply, where I want to both live and work.

Being out on the water is my happy place and after completing a Bachelor’s degree in Teacher Training, I took to the water and sailed around the Mediterranean in my own boat for two years. Next, I worked on superyachts in the Mediterranean and the Caribbean then I moved into sales and marketing which included website design and accounting. I owned a small business for a few years which was a great learning curve – being my own boss and ultimately controlling my own destiny was the catalyst to joining the real estate business.

Outside of work, being a mother to our active daughter keeps me busy and on my toes. I love spending time with my family and friends and walking our two dogs on the beach. I’m a people person, an empathetic listener, with excellent communication skills and I strive to provide solutions.

Supporting you in your real estate journey is my goal. Call me at Barfoot & Thompson Kerikeri and let’s begin that journey!

Live a life you don’t need a holiday from!

What my clients say

As an absentee owner, I trusted Lara with the marketing, open homes etc of my house in Kerikeri. Lara kept up constant, clear communication, making the process easy for me. She went above and beyond, even taking time to keep my house plants alive in my absence. I would absolutely recommend Lara as a salesperson.

Miranda McMurtry

“Lara and Leanne made buying a property an easy and stress-free experience with their great communication. They helped me understand the process and were with me every step of the way. I highly recommend them to anyone buying or selling.”

Kelly Chapman

If you want a very professional, friendly and very helpful Real Estate Agent who will go the extra mile, then we highly recommend Lara. From first contact to handing keys to us, she has been readily available to help.

The Owners of the home we bought in Northland, lived in Australia and as we had lots of questions before we bought, Lara happily contacted the Owners and they came back very quickly with answers.

We lived in Auckland, so Lara helped us out by organising for Tradesmen to come in and fix a few things for us. Lara organised for the septic tank to be cleaned and for cleaners. The cleaners missed a few areas and Lara went in and cleaned those areas for us. Lara didn't need to do this, but she went that extra mile and we are very grateful. Thank you Lara.

The purchase of our new home went very smoothly thanks to Lara.

If you would like a very friendly, knowledgeable and extremely helpful Real Estate Agent then we would have no hesitation in recommending Lara.

Thank you so much for everything Lara. We wish you all the best.

Jeanette Burt & Dave McNally

"Lara goes above and beyond her call of duty and is calm, efficient, professional and understanding. I sold a house in Northland, while I was living in Australia. It’s incredibly difficult putting a house on the market from so far away. Lara went so far as to stage the rooms, sought a gardening company to do the lawns, sought quotes for other odd jobs, and then made sure the tradies had access to the house. She communicated with the neighbours. She even cleaned out the fridge that the cleaning crew had overlooked. She inspected the work done and was exceptionally prompt and articulate with her communications. I would absolutely recommend her!"

Rhondda Lewis

We sold a property in June 2023 in the Pakaraka area. It was a difficult time in real estate and our property certainly had its problems. Lara and Gillian were undaunted by these problems and helped us to address things that needed to be righted. They never flagged, they were always available, always cheerful, positive, professional; we came to see them as friends. And they got the job done.

David & Jean Montgomerie

We would just like to give a thank you to Lara for her help in the sale of our property on Kapiro Road. Deb was dealing with our property when it first came on the market and she had set quite a high bar with her input and advice to us, but the handover to Lara was seamless. Lara was obviously up to speed with what had been happening and who had been viewing the house so we felt very happy dealing with a different salesperson. Since the time Lara took over the property, everything went very well indeed and I don’t think I could fault the way everything was handled. We were always kept well informed of any developments and Lara was patient and took the time to explain to us several times how the escape clause in the contract worked when we were rather slow on the uptake. All in all, I would have no hesitation in recommending Lara to anyone who needs a salesperson to sell their house.
