The challenge of meeting new people every day and tuning into their goals is what makes selling real estate so exciting for me. With any task I’m a perfectionist. A particular forte of mine is preparing a sales strategy for my clients. As I said, I’m a perfectionist and I plan with the end result and customer satisfaction being the ultimate goal.

I am a qualified electrical engineer and I also have a degree in Marine Engineering. I was in the Merchant Navy for six years and I have a real love of the sea and sailing. Prior to selling residential real estate I worked for some time in Commercial sales and Business Development and I’ve had considerable experience in front line and project management. Across all of these roles I learned the value of establishing strong working relationships with my clients and the importance of planning to the very last details.
My partner and I love travelling, especially to the mountains and I’m a sports person both indoor and outdoor. I’m actively involved in community sport and I volunteer as an ambassador at the local school for Rocket Challenge. It’s an exciting project that focuses on encouraging students to consider careers in science, technology, engineering and maths, S.T.E.M.
In addition to English I speak Hindi and Bengali. I truly believe that, “success & happiness is achieved when you stop waiting for it to happen, and take steps to make it happen”. Call or email me at Barfoot & Thompson Papakura and we’ll make things happen for you, together!
