About Rob McNab

"Solving Problems for People"

After a highly successful career in corporate property, I bring with me to real estate a wealth of transferable skills. I believe this is an ideal foundation for helping you buy and sell property. I am a highly skilled negotiator with over 40 years' experience covering property management, project management and lease and contract negotiation.

I have a Bachelor of Property Administration from Auckland University and am a Fellow of the Property Institute of NZ.

My wife Anna and I have lived on a lifestyle property near Waiuku for over 20 years. It is where we raised our two children and I know what makes this area special. I have a passion for my local community and have been on the Board of Trustees for Waipipi Primary School and was president of the Waiuku Squash Club for four years.

I am currently learning Samoan and can also speak some basic Japanese.

I understand that buying and selling real estate can be a highly challenging and at times a very stressful experience. With my commitment to excellence in customer service, my in-depth knowledge and experience and the strong brand of Barfoot & Thompson behind me, I will help you obtain the best results possible.

What my clients say

The Barfoot & Thompson team delivered a fast sale in a difficult market! From the initial internal referrals, to the team best suited to our rural property, through to the auction and then the immediate post-auction introduction to the successful purchaser, the Barfoot & Thompson team was on form. Big thanks especially to Stephen Hiscock and Rob McNab. Great experience and highly recommend using the Barfoot & Thompson Waiuku Office.

Robert & Gaynor

Hi Rob and Stephen

We just wanted to drop a quick note to express our wholehearted thanks and appreciation for your invaluable help, guidance and professionalism during the purchase of our property on Manukau Heads Road. Ruth and I were immediately impressed by your easy efficiency and friendly manner.

Buying this property is a life-changing moment for us and we expected it to be a stressful and daunting time, especially as we were doing it from another country. You and Stephen made sure it was neither of those things. Once we were the new owners, knowing we were not yet in New Zealand, your regular visits to the property and reports back to us gave us absolute peace of mind.

From Ruth and I, we would like to say thank you for the brilliant service you have given us. If ever you would like a reference please don't hesitate to ask, we would be proud to do so.

Ruth McAfee & Adam Merrett

Hi Rob We must thank you and Stephen Hiscock for your faultless service in selling us our new house. We have never bought a rural property before and your good advice on all matters country is already standing us in good stead. We would absolutely recommend you to anyone who wants to buy in the area. Keep up the good work! Cheers

Simon & Alison

Rob and Stephen were excellent in everyway; communication, feedback and advice was superb and timely. They met all our needs for selling the property. Best salespeople we have ever dealt with.

Robert Keenan

"We would like to thank Rob for his patience and thoroughness. We were looking for a rental property and had a lot of boxes to tick. Rob showed us so many properties, some of them multiple times. He gave us time and never rushed us or pushed us to make a decision. We highly recommend Rob, who, in a fast-paced often cut throat industry, is a breath of fresh air."

I recently had the pleasure of dealing with Rob McNab of Barfoot & Thompson, in my endeavours to buy a house in the Franklin area. I would like to recommend Rob to others who are also interested in doing the same. Rob is the quintessential gentleman who goes above and beyond to assist his clients and has a level of expertise as a realtor that is impressive. He is definitely a rare find!!

Dr Sandy Smith (Franklin)

Rob is the best real estate person I have ever dealt with over four shifts in 30 years. He was very caring, confident, positive and cheerful in all his dealings and open homes he did for us at Awhitu.

When the furniture truck left Awhitu, he stayed with my husband Maurice for over an hour to try and get the cat to put in a cage. He thought the cat would come back for tea and breakfast as he always stays in the house. He sent Maurice on to our new address at Conifer Grove and said he would come back and get him. The next morning Rob phoned, “I have your cat. Don’t come out, I’ll bring him in to you". This is 70k! Rob arrived here with the cat and a smile from ear to ear.

Rob is an amazing man to deal with a real credit to any company he works for.

Valerie Cosseboom

A wonderful experience with two very professional people. The market knowledge of this team is amazing and they certainly know how to achieve the best results for their clients. I am so grateful to them and can heartily recommend them to others who may need their services.

Ken Carlile - Waiuku July 2020

Kim and Rob did a fantastic job marketing and selling my home from start to finish. Quite honestly I don't know what I would have done without their support and help in preparing my property for sale right through to moving day. They were both professional and caring, and I was blown away by the practical hands on help they provided. Thank you so much for your professionalism, kindness and excellent marketing and selling skills.

Michelle Farrell - Glenbrook Beach, June 2020

My partner Craige and I bought a property in Awhitu through  Barfoot & Thompson and the salesperson was Rob McNab. 

I would just like to say what an outstanding estate salesperson Rob is!! He was kind, thoughtful, courteous and answered my millions of questions without hesitation.. he is an asset to your Company. He made the stressful experience of buying a property that much more easier. 

Thank you so much Rob... you rock!!

Warm regards

Ann and Craige

After deciding we wanted to purchase our first home we started looking at a few houses in South Auckland and quickly became overwhelmed. When we met Rob for the first time we felt completely comfortable with him, like he was invested in what we wanted and understood the stress of buying our first home. The whole process was smooth without losing a personal touch. Rob kept us informed and communicated everything quickly and clearly. He guided us through the process and shared our excitement throughout. We found our dream home and Rob and Steven made it a reality for us. We couldn’t recommend them enough! Thank you for everything!

Rob and Steve sold my lifestyle block and I found them excellent salespeople.  They built an honest, enthusiastic, willing and positive relationship with me right from appraisal through to settlement.  They were committed and went the extra mile to ensure the sale was completed. I found them respectful and caring with regards to my needs and really enjoyed having them represent my interests.  I recommend them highly for their professional and effective approach to the property sales relationship.

I have known Rob since he started at the Waiuku, Barfoot & Thompson office and I can honestly say working with him is a pleasure. If you are looking for a smile, hardwork and dedication to the job then he is your man. I thoroughly enjoy working with him, his energy, passion and love for real estate is very evident. Rob achieved his first sale at Auction in October 2019, it was a well deserved sale from two excellent agents. Thank you for your support and words of encouragement to me also.

Kim Fuhlendorff

I would place my trust in Rob as he has never disappointed in all aspects of our dealings.
