What my clients say

Faultless 5 Stars

We could not fault a thing. Sophie and Wallace’s expertise was pretty much on point throughout the whole process. From the suggested timing of when to go to market, the advertising, the number of open homes and then auction. Everything went like clockwork. Very happy customers.

Brenda Rangimarie Christiansen & Melvin Barrie Taiehu Wetini - Vendor

“We sold our home with Sophie’s and Wallace’s support and cooperation. We were very lucky the right real estate sales team helped us through the process. We were so excited and can’t thank them enough. Sophie and Wallace offer a lovely mix of attention to detail, experience and professional diplomacy. Their amiable nature intertwined with market knowledge is a winning combination. They were willing to go the extra mile, always with a smile and up-beat attitude. They communicated everything that was happening in a professional and timely manner. Their in-depth knowledge of all areas of real estate has earned them the respect and trust of their peers and clients alike. Buying and selling property is a complex process and can be quite daunting. They give clear, constructive advice at every stage of the process. They take time to listen and understand our unique requirements then successfully guide buyers and us to achieve successful sales. It is written for future clients to get to know how great of a person they are. It is written so anyone who reads this will know they are in good hands the moment they engage in their service. We totally recommend Sophie & Wallace."

I cannot thank you enough for your professional and dedicated approach to selling my investment property. From the outset, it became clear that I was dealing with two very honest, capable and reliable sales people. You made the whole process look easy and your attention to communication is exemplary. I had confidence that you were trying to get the best outcome for me and your responses to my needs made me feel as though I was your only client.

I will have absolutely no hesitation in recommending you to others. You are both hard-working and combined your individual skills to give confidence to me as a seller. The auction process worked for this property which resulted in a quick, unconditional sale and I am very grateful to you both.

I sincerely wish you well for your future in real estate. Do not change a thing! Your reputation preceded you when I chose you and I can attest to your warm personalities and genuineness as an added reason for your success.

Thank you both so much!!

Good Morning Pete

I want you to know how much Trish and I appreciate the professionalism of Wallace and Sophie and the great job they did in selling our two properties in Sylvan Ave. It is a tough market and their dedication and hard work was key in achieving such a great result.

Kate & Trish O'Connor

Dear Wallace and Sophie

Ken and I want to thank you so very much for the incredible job you did of selling our Northcote unit. We are still pinching ourselves that within five days of going to market, you produced four offers with the fourth being good enough to bring the auction forward. Eight days after listing the property, it was sold at auction for an exceptional price for a two-bedroom unit in that area! Although it was only on the market for eight days, we know you worked very hard to achieve that result with many meetings at the house during that time, and of course two open homes.

Please feel free to share our feedback on your website/s and social media.

Many thanks, and warm regards

Tracy & Ken

I had brilliant service from the Birkenhead office selling one of my investment properties. The agents handling the listing were Wallace D'Costa and Sophie Zhao and I will recommend them 100% and in fact, I have already and hope they thrive. They both made the whole marketing and auction process very easy for me as a vendor and their honest reporting and genuine care for both me as a vendor, the buyers and the property, made it a very easy and pleasing experience delivering a GREAT result. Thank you Wallace and Sophie!

"Very professional and efficient, the end result being a stress-free house sale in a very short time, leaving us very impressed and satisfied with the service they provided. Our thanks for their efforts and we would recommend Wallace & Lars to anyone trying to buy or sell a property and we wish them well in the future."

Sheila & Ken Arthern

"I worked alongside them through this process and was impressed. They ran a very slick campaign, were enthusiastic, did everything promised, all to plan, and without any hidden costs. We were very satisfied with the end result and the ease of which the auction was conducted. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them as salesmen to any prospective vendors in the future."

Robyn Glover

"Selling the house was our number one priority before moving overseas in a very short time period of 2 months. Wallace and Lars of Barfoot & Thompson, Northcote branch, turned a potentially stressful time in our lives into a pleasant experience by selling our house in five weeks. We would both like to say how thankful we are to Wallace and Lars. We felt part of the process all along and they kept us up to date with the feedback from prospective buyers. The efficient way they handled the marketing and promoting of our property resulted in a big turnout at the auction. Our dealings with them have been most pleasing. They have proved themselves to be friendly, courteous and display impeccable manners no matter how busy or pressed for time they might be. It's a great feeling to have the house sold and all behind us now. We thank Wallace and Lars again for all their efforts and hard work over the period of selling the house. We strongly recommend Wallace and Lars to anyone looking to buy or sell a property and wish them well in all their future endeavours."
