With over 50 properties sold in my first two years, I have built a reputation for achieving exceptional outcomes for my clients. My background, which includes a successful career with one of New Zealand’s leading life insurers, has always been about people - understanding their needs and delivering results that exceed expectations.

Raised on Auckland’s North Shore, I have an intimate knowledge of the area, particularly the sought-after Bays. These premier communities, known for their beautiful beaches, amazing schools, and vibrant cafes, offer a lifestyle that few can resist. It’s an area I know well and one where I’ve successfully helped many clients secure their ideal property.

As a parent raising my children here, I have a deep connection to the community. My family has been involved in many local clubs, and I’m passionate about supporting the people and businesses that make this area so special.

As someone who has personally navigated the buying and selling process, I understand that while it can be complex, it doesn't have to be overwhelming. My approach is simple: I offer you expert guidance, clear communication, and a bespoke service designed to alleviate the pressure and give you confidence at every stage.

If you're thinking of selling or buying, let's have a strategic conversation about how I can help you achieve your real estate goals. With my experience and drive, you can be confident that your property transaction is in capable hands.

What my clients say

You won't find a salesperson who will work harder for you! - Nicole was absolutely amazing to deal with on the sale of our house. Our house was not as straightforward as most, however Nicole never gave up, pivoted many times with strategy and kept us in the loop the whole time. I would not hesitate to use her again. She is genuine and straightforward, worked around the clock to get us offers.

Mikayla Dixon - Seller, 30 May 2025

Great Experience – Very Professional and Knowledgeable!
We recently purchased a home that was marketed by Nicole Penny and we couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. From our very first interaction, she was professional, transparent and very knowledgeable about the property and the market. Nicole’s guidance and encouragement led us to submit an offer and after some negotiation it was accepted. Nicole made the buying process smooth and stress-free. She was always available to answer our questions, provide valuable insights and guided us through every step of the transaction. We are more than happy to recommend Nicole for your real estate needs.

My highest praise for Nicole
Nicole is the most attentive, efficient and knowledgeable real estate agent imaginable. She kept in constant contact with me, without hesitation, giving me her time and attention generously. I feel profoundly grateful to her for ensuring that my momentous transition from a large house to a smaller property in a retirement village was completely straight-forward, with the inevitable stress absolutely minimal. I am full of admiration and respect for Nicole's outstanding professionalism. She liaised with my understanding and supportive daughter and son willingly, every step of the way. And now, on 18 December, I am wishing Nicole an immensely well-deserved, relaxed and refreshing festive season and summer holiday.

Amazing Salesperson!
Nicole was absolutely amazing in helping us with our new home in Torbay. Her professionalism and warm personality made us feel completely at ease. If you're looking for a real estate salesperson who goes above and beyond, Nicole is the one. We'd work with her again in a heartbeat!

What a team!
We cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional service provided by Bren and Nicole during the sale of our property. From the moment we signed with them, it felt like a whirlwind campaign that was expertly managed from start to finish. Thanks to their invaluable advice on preparing and marketing our home, the resulting photos and video were outstanding, truly showcasing our property at its best. Throughout the three weeks of open homes and private viewings, they were always available, providing timely feedback and answering any questions we had. What truly stood out to us was the sense of teamwork they fostered - we always felt like we were working together towards the same goal. The entire process was seamless and efficient, and we were thrilled with the outcome. We would highly recommend Bren and Nicole to anyone looking to sell their property!

Beyond exceptional!
Nicole more than met our expectations in selling our home. Not only is she professional, extremely hard working and results-driven, she is kind, caring and hugely customer-service focused. Her enthusiasm and energy is contagious and she gives the best hugs! We strongly recommend Nicole as a dedicated, honest and committed real estate salesperson.

Tracey & Gary Brown - Redwing Street, Browns Bay

Nicole was absolutely great throughout the entire sale process of my property.
If you are thinking of selling your property, I highly recommend engaging Nicole as your salesperson. Nicole has very good market knowledge, she is very professional, and her communication is the best I've experienced in a long time. Nicole is easy to talk to, always on time and on top of that she is just an absolutely beautiful person.

Nicole made selling my property much easier with great support every step of the way. You can trust Nicole to do what she says and to follow through on any issues or questions you may have on your journey to sell.

The agent you want to sell your home!
Nicole and her co-salesperson Bren were absolutely fantastic to work with. Calm and experienced, we felt Nicole genuinely wanted to help us get the best price possible for our property, and to make the entire process as smooth as possible. We felt Nicole was with us at every step of the process - from our initial chat about selling, right through to when our home went under the hammer.

She offered great advice and was always responsive to our (many!) questions. We would without hesitation recommend Nicole as an outstanding salesperson to help sell your home.

Michelle & Andy - Spencer Rd, Pinehill

Outstanding Service
Nicole was such an amazingly professional agent who, together with her team, helped me sell my home so quickly. She was so friendly and made the process very smooth and easy. I’m very happy with my experience as seller. I would highly recommend her!

Estrel - Kallista Place, Browns Bay

Exemplary Experience - 5 stars
I was lucky enough to obtain the services of Barbara and Stanley Armon who chose Nicole as their North Shore salesperson. I was so lucky to have Nicole to market the property and have a successful result at auction. Nicole made what could have been a stressful process extremely relaxed. She went above and beyond and kept me informed at all stages of the marketing. She is extremely knowledgeable in the process, a great communicator and the ultimate professional, as well as being a very lovely person. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Nicole and if you are lucky enough to get her as your salesperson you are in very safe hands.

Debbie - East Coast Road

I am delighted to provide a glowing testimonial for Bren and Nicole, our exceptional sales agents. From the moment we signed up with them on 6th August, it was evident that we had made the right choice. Remarkably, our property was sold in under three weeks! Throughout this journey, Bren and Nicole displayed unwavering professionalism and outstanding communication skills. They kept us informed at every step, making this process feel seamless. What made our situation unique was that we were not only selling but also buying a property simultaneously. Bren and Nicole went above and beyond to assist us with both endeavors, ensuring that everything aligned perfectly. Even when the purchaser of our property was introduced through another agency, Bren and Nicole's dedication shone through. They orchestrated the entire process, proving that they excel at making things happen. We couldn't be more grateful for Bren and Nicole's expertise, and we highly recommend their services to anyone seeking a top-tier real estate experience. Thank you both for your exceptional work

Phillip & Keely Stubbs

I had the good fortune to select Nicole and Bren as the salespeople to sell my home of 25 years. From beginning to end of a quick campaign and successful auction, they were great listeners, excellent communicators and efficient managers of the total process. They turned a potentially very stressful time into an enjoyable experience.

Maureen - Beach Road, Torbay

Amazing Salesperson 5 Stars

We bumped into Nicole early on in our viewings. She asked us lots of questions and got to know our needs/wants, likes/dislikes quickly, and from then on offered to help us with our search. She suggested many great houses and came to most of the viewings with us. She was candid with her opinions, reminded us if were interested to do our due diligence which saved us making a few mistakes in our choices and found us our forever home in Torbay. She supported us throughout the process, gave us great advice/recommendations as we had not bought here in NZ before and we felt confident making our decisions and going to auction. We value Nicole as our salesperson, and she is also the most friendly, polite, helpful, understanding and genuine person to deal with. Highly recommended by us, thanks Nicole for everything.

Jill & Dave - Torbay

Nicole Penny from Barfoot & Thompson is an excellent real estate salesperson. As first home buyers, Nicole went the extra mile to ensure that we fully understood the processes and complexities of buying a house. She was always available to answer all questions, dedicated her time to us and always had a huge smile and positive attitude which we really appreciated, as it helped us to stay calm and eased the experience. Nicole did an awesome job with selecting the right houses for us to view, making sure they are within our budget and met our needs and expectations. We felt confident that she had our best interests at heart and was genuinely wanting to help us to find our home.  

My wife and I both would strongly recommend Nicole to anyone looking to purchase a house. You will not be disappointed with the excellent service, professional advice and efficient communication.

Grace

Selling a house is never the easiest thing to do but it’s certainly made a lot easier when you have a team of two who work perfectly together. Bren and Nicole were both dedicated to doing the best for us as vendors and their enthusiasm gave us every confidence in getting the job done. We were delighted to sell our house under the hammer and can’t thank them enough for all the hard work they put in to making it happen. Absolutely would recommend them.
