Our family have known Paresh Patel as a real estate agent for Barfoot & Thompson for many years. Selling my property had been on my mind for quite some time and fast-tracked, when suddenly my tenant gave notice in September. Our first point of contact was Paresh and after viewing we decided to renovate, to create greater buyer appeal. Paresh immediately began helping us organise tradespeople and was constantly communicating with us. I lost count how many times he visited to check on the progress to ensure we were on target to meet the auction date. He organised and explained all the proposals, compliance regulations, the legal documents and kept me regularly updated with all the data as soon as the open home viewing began. Paresh works in a very professional manner and was extremely thorough in all aspects of the process. He was always easy to approach when I needed clarification on matters I did not understand.      

There were times when I really wasn’t sure whether everything was going to go to plan, but Paresh was always calm and reassuring. This was even more apparent as the auction date approached and we had issues obtaining documents from government authorities on time. Paresh was confident that the auction could go ahead, and I believe it was his solution mindset that achieved the sale within two months despite all the challenges.

I cannot thank Paresh and his wife Mamta enough, for all their efforts in marketing and selling my property. I know there were many other matters they would have attended to behind the scenes. They are a dynamic duo with great positivity, very humble, friendly, helpful, sincere and knowledgeable. I found they always gave me honest guidance, which I trusted completely. Paresh and Mamta genuinely care about achieving the best outcome for their clients to create a win-win.      

Barfoot & Thompson are extremely fortunate to have Paresh and Mamta working in their organisation. They are a credit to this esteemed realty group and uphold the ethics and ethos with the highest integrity.  I wish Paresh and Mamta every success moving forward in their careers and would like to thank everyone at the branch for their assistance.       

"This was our first time selling a house and needless to say it was quite overwhelming. Massive thanks to Mamta and Paresh for helping us at every step throughout the process, till the very day of settlement. Paresh was very responsive and we never had any communication delays. With any query or worries we had, his expertise in the field put our minds at ease. He was patient, knowledgeable and had a solution to every problem we came across and making acquaintance with Mamta was an absolute pleasure. While keeping it professional yet giving a personal touch, she became a part of my little one's weekend routine. My baby adored her and so did we. We are endlessly grateful to both of them for helping us sell our house right on time and so fast that we were able to celebrate our little one's first birthday on time with our family overseas. If given a chance, we will definitely make use of this duo's extensive knowledge in the future without a doubt."

"We would like to say a really big thanks to Paresh for his exceptional help in buying a house. He took the time to listen to what we wanted, and he went the extra mile again and again for us. He was always on time and did what he said he would do without fail. He gave us really sound professional advice and support during stressful times, he didn't give up, and he got us into a house we are very happy in. We highly recommend Paresh."

"We have come to know Paresh Patel through a friend. At that time, we were having so many problems with our Property Manager who was looking after our rental property.

Every now and then we would contact Paresh and see if he could assist us, in anyway. He was very friendly, accommodating and never hesitated to give us advice until such a time that we have transferred the rental property management to Barfoot & Thompson.

Months later, we have decided to sell the rental property and we had Paresh as our agent. We found Paresh to be so dedicated in helping us sell the property. He would go an extra mile to have our demands met. We’ve seen him work so hard to achieve our asking sale price and he was even able to bring that price up higher than we would have expected. Paresh is also a person who you feel so comfortable discussing things with. He is always approachable and is so committed in achieving the highest satisfaction of his clients.

We wish Paresh the very best in all his endeavours and we will never hesitate to recommend him to others who want to obtain the best professional service in the area of real estate."

"We had been hunting for our first home when one of our friend introduce Paresh Patel. He seemed to understand our mind-set. Very quickly he understood what we were looking for and within 2 months we had our first home bought through his efforts.

Needless to say, if ever I have another occasion where I need professional help in matters relating to property, his would be the first name on my mind."

"I am a lawyer who deals with property transactions all the time and Paresh helped us buy our first home. Firstly I would like to say a big thank you to Paresh for the diligent, patient and professional way in which he looked after us.

We are very happy in our new home and we think we were really lucky to discover Paresh when we did!"

"We sold our House through Paresh from Barfoot & Thompson - Onehunga.

We found Paresh very helpful and efficient; he always arrived to do our Open home on time and always provided us with weekly reports which always kept us well informed.

As we were selling our house through an auction and we were not too familiar with the procedures we had a lot of questions.

Whenever we had a question or Paresh would explain the procedures very carefully to us.

We would definitely recommend Paresh to our friends and relatives!"

"We came to know Paresh at an open home of one of his listings. We told him about our requirements regarding a home that we wanted to buy. Moving from England we were pretty new to Kiwi ways of doing things!!! Paresh came across as a very honest and helpful person. He has an incredible understanding of his clients needs. Thanks to Paresh's honest, sincere approach, we found our home in Auckland. He worked extremely hard to get things moving and kept us informed throughout the whole process. He advised us regarding solicitor and mortgage consultants. He also answered all our questions regarding the sale. He understood that we are not buying a house but a home!!!!. He has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. We didn't know that buying a house was such a hassle free process!!!!!!!

We would highly recommend Paresh to anyone wanting buy or sell their house. He has strong work ethics, a friendly easy-going approach and someone who you can trust is looking after your best interests."

'We came to know about Paresh Patel when we were looking for buyers for our Unit in Onehunga. We had tried to sell our Unit privately and were not having any luck. Paresh was very professional in his approach and got down to preparing my Unit for sale even before we had signed the listing agreement with Barfoot & Thompson. Although our Listing agreement was for 90 days, Paresh sold our Unit in a matter of two weeks. He kept in touch with us consistently during the sale process and helped us with advise and suggestions to make the process smooth. Unlike other agents, Paresh did not forget us even after the deal was over and still calls us after a month to inquire whether our transition from one house to the other is over or not. We have recommended him to a few of our friends and will vouch for his dedication and integrity. Thanks and all the best."

“I know Mr. Paresh Patel from Barfoot & Thompson, Onehunga, since November, 2009 when I met him for purchasing my first home.

I would use his services in future without any hesitation and would definitely recommend his name to any one buying or selling their properties. I wish Paresh all the best for his endeavors.”

"We had been hunting for our first home when destiny drove us to an open home listed by this young agent - Paresh Patel. We didn't like the unit but he seemed to understand our mind-set.

"As a first home purchaser we were somewhat green. Paresh made things very easy for us and even recommended the bank we used for my mortgage. He even organized quotes and tradespeople for us, going way beyond our expectation of his duties.
Within my line of business we come across various levels of service so we know what is good and what is bad – Paresh Patel (Onehunga Branch) is very good, he will always be in our top list if we plan to sell our property in future. We highly recommend Paresh for his best service.”
