About Sue Allan

Real Estate is more than a job! It's my passion!
Communication leads to Success

Top Salesperson, Glen Eden Branch, to end March 2023
#1 Salesperson, Glen Eden branch, to end March 2022

#10 Individual Salesperson, West Auckland Region, to end March 2022

Since 1993, I have been selling residential real estate with the teams at Barfoot & Thompson Glen Eden and New Lynn. I specialise in the Central and West Auckland suburbs and, having lived for most of my life in Te Atatu South, Ranui, Sandringham, Avondale and now residing in Mt Roskill, I understand what makes the Central and West Auckland suburbs, where I specialise, so special.

I am able to work effectively in any sales arena and identify market trends. This has contributed to my success to date. I work diligently to ensure the best outcome for sellers and buyers - always with a smile. This approach has resulted in many referrals which has become a big part of my business!

When I’m not working, I enjoy watching the sports that I love - including cricket, rugby, league, tennis and athletics, to name just a few! A happy place for me is the beach where I can indulge my love for walking. My husband Mark and my much-loved cat Mickey are at the centre of my bubble.

I am a trusted and respected salesperson within the industry. I believe communicating with my clients throughout the selling and buying process enables me to identify any road-blocks that may crop up. I can then make the process as stress-free as possible, ensuring the best outcome for all.

What my clients say

"We are incredibly grateful to Sue Allan for her outstanding support in helping us purchase our first home. She was always patient, understanding, and truly listened to our needs and preferences. Her knowledge of the market, attention to detail and honest advice gave us so much confidence in making such a big decision.

What stood out the most was Sue's genuine care for us as clients. She went above and beyond to ensure we found the perfect home, guiding us at every step and making sure we understood everything clearly. Thanks to her dedication and expertise, we now have a place we are proud to call home.

We couldn't have asked for a better person to walk this journey with us. Thank you, Sue, for making our dream a reality!"

Ankur & Anshul Singhal & Family

"As first-home buyers, the purchasing process was quite daunting. Sue Allan's insights and professionalism were invaluable to us. She really puts her heart into what she does and we felt she took excellent care of us. We are delighted with our new home and couldn't recommend Sue more highly.

We really did find you great. Don't think we would've got there without you. Thanks Sue" 🙂

Michaela & Joe

A big thank you to Sue and Kerry for selling our father's house during this flat market. We appreciate your guidance, clear and honest feedback, helping us to make decisions around how we best deal with our house sale.

It was obvious that you two have worked well together and communicated with us clearly each time. Every question and assistance we needed, you just responded with clear direction which we have found very helpful. Good communication and assistance were much needed this time as our father's house was not located near us.

Without your help, we did not think we could achieve our house sale. Your extensive experience, knowledge and network have helped us. You two are hard working agents who are genuinely wanting to help people to sell houses.

Thank you again for all your assistance. Anyone who is considering selling or buying a house should consider contacting Sue and Kerry!

Aaron & Hiromi

Just a few words to let you know how Barry and I feel about the whole experience of selling a first home. You made everything so easy. Firstly a big thank you for all the work you put into getting the result you did, it was amazing. WOW! Only three weeks on the market and it was sold. As an agent, your experience shines through and all the hours put into marketing was absolutely appreciated, thank you. Your lovely personality and great sense of humour made us feel very relaxed around you.Thank you once again!

Barry & Julie

Cliff and I had been looking to move North for some time, and over the Christmas period of 2022/23 we came across a property that we just could not pass up. On returning to our Auckland home early February after our Christmas holiday, we were faced with a full renovation of our Glen Eden home to get us to market and sold ASAP. 

I contacted Sue Allan. She had been recommended by friends who had sold a house with her a couple of years prior and also because Sue was an experienced agent with full knowledge of our area. I met with Sue for the initial introduction and said to Cliff later that day, yes I am happy with this lady.  Sue was, of course, very experienced but what impressed me was that she was very up-to-date and honest about the difficult market at that time. She recognised that we were not without some knowledge of buying and selling and were aware of the difficult market and the job we faced in getting our property ready, and so formed a great working relationship with us to help with ideas and strategies.

Along the way, we seemed to continually have challenges, however we all kept each other informed and Sue helped immensely in resolving the issues. Her patience and stability (and humour) was so helpful in keeping me sane!

By June 2023 we were on the market and sold within a month.  We are so thankful to have worked with, and had Sue’s help, and will recommend her always.

Nicole Busher

Thanks Sue. I wish we could re-record the winning video as I could say better!  Anyway, it was a fantastic day for us. We do really appreciate all your hard work (re: following up with potential buyers, negotiating and giving us guidance that is genuine  and realistic). It felt really like a team effort. Also having Ryan in the auction centre made me think the Glen Eden office is a very supportive team to work with. You have made our selling very easy; we can see your commitment and passion for your work which was really obvious to us. It's time for house shopping  and I am very excited about our new journey. Thanks again and see you on Sunday.

Hiromi 

Thank you, Sue. My gosh you have a very high work ethic. Always trying, always smiling. We will be at the auction with all our digits crossed.

Sue and Shirley, thank you for making a potentially stressful situation hassle-free and for providing us with such excellent service.

As we are based overseas and had tenants occupying the property, we thought it could have been a very difficult process however their professionalism, experience, and knowledge was exceptional and made everything run smoothly. They are great communicators and were always available to answer any questions or concerns we had. They took feedback from potential buyers, discussed it with us, and made necessary adjustments to improve the presentation of our property. Their persistence and dedication paid off, and in the end, we were able to sell our property at a price we were thrilled with.

We would highly recommend this team to anyone looking to sell their property

Laura

"I would like to highly recommend two amazing ladies if you are ever considering buying or selling your home. We decided to sell when the market was going through a really tough time but went ahead regardless. Sue Allan had sold us our home ten years ago, so it made sense to contact her to sell it for us this time. Sue met with us, suggested a few things before it went on the market and then it was ready. Sue also brought Julie Hey on board to assist with selling due to existing commitments before we signed up and between the two of them we had a very passionate dynamic team.

We could not have asked for a better team to sell on our behalf; the time that went into trying to get us that right buyer was above and beyond our expectations. We ended up selling three times because it was only the buyers' circumstances that led to two of them unable to complete the sale, so in this market that is impressive to say the least. We loved the attitude of not 'if' but 'when' we sell and we did! Sue and Julie were amazing and the 'calm' to our stress that comes when your home is on the market. At times they were also a reassuring voice on the phone when we did wonder if we would indeed sell and they dropped everything when we needed documentation sorted for a third party that had no power.

We were so grateful! We really can't thank Sue and Julie enough for all that they did and if ever we are ready to sell again would not hesitate to contact them again."

Elaine& Shane, Te Atatu South. February 2023

A very personal thank you to you both, for facilitating a seamless sale of my property in Glen Eden. From start to finish, your energetic enthusiasm was infectious and your efficient communication every step of the way, kept me informed and removed any anxiety. Your positive can-do attitudes made the process feel effortless and you quietly worked tirelessly behind the scenes and obtained a great outcome with three offers being presented. All paperwork was professionally presented and carefully explained. Thank you for turning an overwhelmingly daunting process into such a pleasant experience.

Craig Muir

"Sue is the best salesperson in Glen Eden. She walked with us during the two year journey to sell our home. We bought and sold with Sue's help in nine days for both transactions. I 100% recommend Sue to any potential buyer and seller. Her dedication and knowledge is second-to-none."

Eileen Sturm

Sue. Thank you so much for your support, kindness and patience in our journey for a bigger home. We really appreciate all that you have done for us.

Simone & Chris

Sue. Thank you so much for all your hard work helping us find a house in this crazy market. Your encouragement meant alot to us and that's why we think you're one of the best salespeople around.

Debs & Sue

"Sue Allan made this whole experience completely stress-free for me. She was so easy to talk to, was always available for any queries I had and while being very professional, Sue was always relaxed and easy to deal with. A huge credit and an asset to Barfoot & Thompson. Her professional manner put me at ease from our first meeting. I would highly recommend Sue to any future home buyers and sellers."

Eilleen Sturm

If you are reading this, then you have definitely found the perfect salesperson to market your property. I received top service from Sue with my recent rental property sale. I live in Dunedin, so long distance communications + dealings with tenants + the recent Level 3 Lockdown, were tricky. Sue just made it all such a breeze~ You can be sure that she will go the extra mile to get the most for your property. Thank you so very much again Sue for all your hard work :D

Jessica - Feb 21

We enjoyed working with Sue recently when selling our home. We found Sue to be professional and friendly. Her attention to detail meant nothing was missed and her communication was impeccable. We chose Sue because of her experience and we were not let down. Her understanding of the market enabled us to list our home at the right time, which led to a very quick sale. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and we would recommend her to anyone.

Cheers

Debbie & Sue

We worked with Sue on selling our property in Titirangi. In very challenging Covid times, Sue had potential buyers at our unit nearly every day as normal open homes were not able to be run. This increased focus resulted in a good number of registered buyers at the auction and a very pleasing result. If you need a salesperson that will work hard in all situations, keep you fully-informed at all times and obtain the best price possible, then look no further than Sue.

Marc Atkinson

Sue is our first choice agent in West Auckland. She is knowledgeable about the local market, committed to her clients and operates with integrity. She has enthusiasm for her work and empathy with people - the ideal estate agent. She has served us very well in our sales.

Chris & Tom

I'd like to really thank you for your help. I really wanted to support you. You make what is a tough process enjoyable, so disappointed I couldn't get a house through you. However, my brother will be on the hunt soon so will be highly recommending you. Thanks again...

Vanessa

"Sue Allan is awesome. Nothing was a problem. Sue made this sale a breeze. Once again, thank you."

Janette

"Sue is knowledgeable of her market, experienced in her industry and showed herself to be a capable and flexible salesperson with a positive attitude and genuine desire to get a result for all parties involved in the transaction. She is very honest, likable and trustworthy. Compared to agents we met from (other companies) she was streets ahead in every respect. (Our opinion is that Barfoot & Thomspon are very lucky to have her.)It was a pleasure to deal with Sue and we would recommend her to anyone interested in dealing with a real estate company."

D & M O'Sullivan

"This is the third time I have had dealings with Sue over a period of 16 years and she has done a fantastic job for me and my wife on all occasions. I have no hesitation in recommending Sue as a reliable, honest and trustworthy person to entrust the sale of or purchase of a home or other property."

J A Sutton QSM JP

"I appointed Sue Allan to sell our home that had been neglected over the years by long term tenants. Sue utilised her knowledge of the market and supreme marketing skills to ensure we obtained a higher than expected price for our home. Throughout the entire process, Sue kept us well informed with daily updates, demonstrating and excellent ability to communicate effectively.

I have no hesitation in recommending Sue to any potential client wishing to engage her services in the real estate industry."

Paul Titmuss

"We would like to thank you for all your hard work in selling our house. It is much appreciated. We liked you when we bought our house listed with you three years back and you had certainly left a mark. When we decided to sell our other house, you were the only person we thought of.

You are professional yet friendly and we really appreciated you going out of your way and managing a win-win situation every time. You kept us posted with all the updates and getting hold of you was never a problem. Your enthusiasm and positive attitude always kept our hopes high.

Within four days of listing the house with you, you got us an offer which turned into an agreement and finally a sale. That is just terrific. You are the best!"

"Thank you for all the work you contributed to the sale of our old house and purchase of the new - from sale preparation right through to move in day.

We have no regret's following Sam's advice to go with you as our agent as it was quickly evident that you had what we were looking for to sell our house in the best way possible.

Your relentless positive attitude was encouraging for us and justified in what we achieved - we really are very pleased with the outcome!"

James & Jeanette

"Sue's professionalism was excellent and her helpfulness and friendliness to me in what was a very emotional experience, was above what I would expect of an agent selling a house...she sold a home...because that was what it was to me and I believe it will be to the new owners!! Thank you Sue!"

Barbara

"Thank you for the beautiful flowers, they are stunning. We both appreciated the fantastic job you did in selling our house and have passed your name on to family and friends out West. You will probably hear from us later on next year when we look at putting the other house on the market. Once again thank you so much."

Cherie and Paul

"Sue was friendly and professional to deal with. She made the marketing of our house easy and as stress free as possible. Through the auction process she managed to achieve a much higher price for our house than we expected which we were delighted with."

Sacha & Myles

"Sue, thank you for your winning smile, sharing your friendly yet professional, positive enthusiasm and for exceptional service at all times. Your negotiation and diplomacy skills are excellent; we appreciated your honesty and not being too pushy. Chris, Elizabeth and I thank you for achieving a win/win for us so we can move on. We were highly touched that Sue bought a bottle of Moet to celebrate and share with us after she found the buyer and achieved a conditional sale.

She has also been very pro-active helping us find our next dream home. Nothing is too much trouble for Sue, she is always happy to show us properties/answer questions or provide additional information when asked.

We wish Sue well and feel very blessed to have had the privilege of her knowledge and services. She has a great rapport with people and we highly recommend Sue to anyone who is contemplating listing or buying their next house. She is a winner!"

Margaret

"Good work marketing the property; achieved a super price by getting the right people interested. Well done!"

Kanuka & Grit

"Thank you for your recent assistance during our purchase of 39 Mason street, New Lynn. Our property search was one which lasted many months and during that time we met a lot of agents from different real estate companies. Along with this, in my role as a recruiter I often interview people from the real estate sector. I am very familiar with the broad mix of people that operate within your field.

During our recent search for a new home I would have to say that the agents that represent Barfoot and Thompson proved themselves to be the best around. In particular I found your integrity and professionalism to be an absolute credit to yourself, and to Barfoot and Thompson.

The property search process is a trying time for most people and I am no exception. Your demonstrably well informed input was greatly valued and your candour and subtle guidance provided a calming influence throughout a somewhat tense time for us.

Thank you for introducing us to, and helping us secure the family home of our dreams. Although we won't be selling anytime soon I would have no hesitation in urging anyone I know who is thinking of selling to talk to you first."


PS - Thank you for our home warming gift too!

Ben, Nan, New, Lily, Ernesto and Leno (the dog!)

"Thank you so much for helping us buy our first house nearly eight years ago and thank you again for all your help in selling that house and helping us secure our new house this year. You went that extra mile and then some! You were always there, even if it was just for a chat on how things were going. Thanks again for everything."

Sharon & David Greenstreet

"Congratulations on being my top auction agent
in the West. It's always a pleasure working with you.
Keep up the good work"

Marian Tolich, Auctioneer

I would like to say a big "Thank you" to you for all that you have done for me (& the family) over the past 6 months or so. It has been a pleasure to work with you through what could have been an extremely stressful time - but you made the selling, and buying process simple & straight forward. You are a very special & classy real estate saleslady!

Kathy

"She was always happy and friendly and
kept in touch with us regularly to let us know the latest news on the sales. We appreciated that very much as changing houses when you are older is very stressful"

Colin & Irene Sumner

"We loved dealing with you. You were friendly, professional, you followed up regularly, we sensed your genuine sincerity in dealing with us as Sellers and yet you also represented the interest of your Buyer. You struck a happy balance between the two. We felt we could trust you and we relied on your judgement."
