Professional and enthusiastic. Sue is new to the Gulf Harbour area and we initially had some reservations about having our house listed with someone new to the area. However, Sue asked questions to ensure she knew the ins and outs of our estate. She communicated well and her enthusiasm was infectious to buyers resulting in three offers in what was an extremely slow market.

Great, Smart and fun
Sue is a great person, full of good values that constantly showed professionalism and pragmatism on what we wanted to accomplish. She gave us all the needed tips to successfully get the house ready for the market and was quite diligent during all the process of the sell. We totally recommend Sue and will choose her again without any doubt. Also thanks to the Barfoot & Thompson team. You can tell straightaway how collaboration works there.

Fantastic
Sue was consistent all the way through. We have had less than perfect experiences with other salelspeople over the years and Sue was a breath of fresh air. Always available, direct when necessary and we were very happy with the end result in what was a difficult and trying market. Thanks so much Sue!

My husband and I sold our house recently. He had met Sue and Pete through helping a friend with her house sale and the word ‘integrity’ was the descriptor. The decision was made. Sue lived up to that word at every stage in the process. She walked with us, was honest with us, she was a reassuring companion on the fraught journey of house selling.

The market was a tough one and there were things we had to do in order to meet client expectations which were counterintuitive and painful. The garden was completely revamped. Pete was a Trojan. Sue was in touch with us regularly and at no stage did we feel a whiff of soft-soaping, just honest feedback and constant optimism, despite a falling market. She reflected the decision making with us and was prepared to discuss the usefulness of hindsight.

I think you have a gem of a human being in Sue. I would describe her as committed, trustworthy and honest with a very warm heart. All this is within the context of her unstinting professionalism. We both would recommend her wholeheartedly.

We worked with a fabulous salesperson, Sue Evans, who took us through the process of selling with minimum stress and ease, helping us with the steps while going through Lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Sue was realistic, thoroughly explained the market value of our plaster home, as well as keeping our dream of selling at a reasonable price, without being pressured or forced to make a decision. As a family, we are happy with Barfoot & Thompson for having a highly credible salesperson like Sue Evans. We will work again together in the future. Thanks a lot.

Barfoot & Thompson was our company of choice to manage the renting of our residence for one year and then its sale by auction. The services rendered by the Property Manager for the rental period were excellent, as was that of the salesperson. In both cases we felt our needs and perspectives were well understood and met. Both the Property Manager and salesperson were professional, friendly, efficient and responsive. We could not have asked for more.

I first met Sue in 2008 when I took up her offer of an appraisal on our house. We had bought it in 2003 and were in the process of renovation. I was interested in Sue’s assessment of the value of the house, having owned it at that stage for five years. I warmed immediately to Sue’s personable and measured approach. We kept in touch over the years as renovations progressed. When we made our decision during Lockdown in 2021, to finally sell – a big call for us – I had no hesitation in contacting Sue straightaway, to manage the process. Sue’s professional acumen, coupled with her excellent communication in keeping us on board every step of the way, made for a very smooth, even enjoyable, selling experience. Sue’s advice on our selling strategy was right on the button, as indeed on staging the property. The outcome as I had anticipated, was most satisfactory, especially given changing market conditions. I have no hesitation in recommending Sue as a highly competent, values-led and knowledgeable real estate professional.

Kia ora Sue
It has been a difficult time since my aunt died and covid meant I was the person to ‘sort out’ her home before it could be ready for sale. You were wonderful to work with from the beginning. I found you to be gentle, kind and caring. Your respectful manner was always evident. You kept me fully informed and involved me in the process.So many thanks Sue, it was a pleasure to have you alongside me through the sale.

Ngā mihi mahana

Sue was fantastic to work with. We found her to be professional, honest and genuine. She has a warm, people-oriented approach and knows the area and market very well. Sue was extremely supportive throughout the process, taking the stress out of it. She came through for us on all the expectations she set, and we wouldn’t hesitate to list our house with Sue again.

I just sold my house with Barfoot & Thompson and Sue Evans was my salesperson. May I just say what an absolute delight it was to work with Sue. She made the whole process seamless and completely stress-free, and to be honest, quite fun as well. Sue really goes the extra mile. At no time did I feel pressured or stressed and was professionally guided through a potentially difficult process with ease and aplomb. I cannot recommend the services of Sue Evans enough. She has absolute integrity, an abundance of knowledge and is passionate about working closely with customers to achieve their goals. I had nothing but confidence in her. Thank you Sue.

Recently my wife and I had the pleasure of working with Sue Evans over the sale of our home in Stanley Point. Sue was always exceptionally professional in her advice, and, what is more, was great in keeping our spirits up whenever difficulties arose.

In the end we were very pleased with the outcome Sue achieved on our behalf, and cannot thank her enough for her tireless enthusiasm and good cheer. She is self-motivated and thoughtful in all she has to offer.

We have now settled into a new house in Devonport, and are delighted with the service and good sense Sue provided throughout our dealings with her.

Yours sincerely

We had a great experience working with Barfoot & Thompson. Sue is one of those rare salespeople who is a delight to work with. Nothing seemed too much trouble to her and she was happy to find the answers to our many questions.

We went to quite a few open homes, mostly around Point Chevalier, and there was a big difference between Sue and other salespeople. She is personable and her genuine and positive attitude influenced us to consider a suburb that was not on our list.

Her open and approachable manner gave us the confidence to proceed to complete the purchase. We are grateful for how she helped make the process as smooth as it could be.

We have had different experiences with real estate salespeople. Barfoot & Thompson are lucky to have people like Sue.

Regards

Thanks to Sue's tenacity, positive attitude and ability to communicate effectively, as well as constructively with everyone, the property sold. My mother's home was not an easy one for Sue to sell. The cladding was problematic and there were many parties involved in the sale, as it was a deceased estate from a blended family. Sue stuck with it, remaining positive and professional throughout the entire campaign. I would recommend her to everyone and I cannot thank her enough for her efforts.

Sue Evans was attentive from day one, and she made selling my house all about me, ensuring that I was comfortable and understood exactly what was going on from start to finish. Asking for my input, I felt I was listened too, she was never pushy or over-bearing. She kept me regularly up to date, and was positive and calm that we would get the result we wanted. And we did.

Sue Evans was instrumental in getting me into a unit in a retirement village of my choice. This was not easy as most buyers had ready cash, whereas I still had a property to sell. Through careful negotiation with the seller she was able to make my dream come true. When it came to selling my place Sue left no stone unturned to get a good price for my property in spite of the market being a bit slow. She kept me informed of what was happening at all times and was available to talk to me and reassure me if necessary 24/7. I would highly recommend Sue to anyone wishing to buy and/or sell their property. Her professional, optimistic and caring approach made the process of buying and selling much easier than I had anticipated.

Our Agent, Sue Evans, was a real pleasure to deal with. She was calm, reassuring, informative, warm and supportive. I would highly recommend Sue to anyone wishing to sell their property. We also have a team at Barfoot assisting us in finding our next place and they have also been super helpful so far. We just need to find that dream home.

Sue, thank you for guiding us through the whole process. We found you to be a dedicated, positive and persevering agent with a great sense of humour.

We have recently benefited from the services of Sue Evans acting on our behalf as a real estate agent to sell our first home. There was a great amount of uncertainty and stress when thinking about selling, as it was our first time. However, Sue managed to take all that stress away and the whole process ended up with a great result and a positive atmosphere throughout. We found that Sue has very good people skills and was able to liaise easily with us as vendors and all potential customers outside and during open home days. Despite a difficult time to sell, just after the 2017 election results came out and Auction clearance rates were low, Sue managed to direct us on the best way to prepare our house. Her advice to the interested parties resulted in a decent pre-Auction offer, which we happily accepted. On top of that, Sue had another interested buyer, so the result was a successful Auction. The sale price was at the top end of what Sue had estimated and in fact, a little higher. It was a great result. Sue gave us complete peace of mind. We were impressed with her professionalism and very happy with her services.

From my experience with working with Sue, the best compliment I could give her, and therefore, Barfoot & Thompson, is: "if you want to sell your home, then ring Sue Evans". Her presence with me when I had to break the news to my tenants about selling the house had a very calming effect. She is a superb communicator and kept us right up-to-date with progress, always answering any questions my sister or I had. The proof of the experienced skill Sue brought to just two open home days was the short notice Auction and the sale price achieved. My three daughters and I left the Auction in a complete daze. In conclusion, my experience of Barfoot & Thompson and Sue Evans' skills and standards was superb.

Sue Evans sold our unit in Devonport and we can't speak highly enough of her. For us, communication and honesty are really important and Sue delivered on her promise of achieving a price we were happy with in a tough pre-election market. She always kept us well informed of progress with buyers, feedback on the property and the effectiveness of our advertising campaign. Our property sold at auction and we couldn't be happier. I would highly recommend Sue to anyone who is looking for a professional, warm, hard working agent to sell their property.

It gives me great pleasure to have the opportunity to provide a reference for Sue Evans.
Sue's professional, optimistic, caring approach along with making sure it was as stress free as possible for me was an "eye opener" after selling many homes in the Auckland area, along with following up on her promises she always "delivered". With selling the property there was a short deadline for putting it on the market, within less than the week Sue had organized everything, photos, listing, beautiful brochures and the hoarding for the sale. Also Sue's calm demeanour in handling prospective purchasers whom I thought were being difficult about the most trivial was also to be admired.
Along with the assistance of her husband Peter without whom his hard work and without cost to me in preparation of the exterior of the property for viewing was awesome.
As for helping me with the purchase of my property, again Sue was fantastic in this field as two more buyers had tabled on the same day her advice to me and her actions "won" me my new home, I am delighted with it.
Don't hesitate to contact me for verbal confirmation of the above you will not regret Sue Evans being your real estate representative.

I was very pleased I had asked Sue Evans to market my property. I found Sue very easy to talk to and she made everything involved with selling my property easy to understand. All through the process, Sue kept me informed of what was going on. We got a good result at the end of the exercise and I am more than happy with the price the property was sold for.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Sue Evans to people I know who may be selling their property. Thank you.

Sue and her team were so helpful and considerate regarding my situation.

Our Agent, Sue Evans, was so helpful, professional and accommodating during the sale of our home - a pleasant experience - thanks.

My property was an unusual property to market. Buyers were never going to be lining up. Sue did a great job in keeping in touch with the right buyers. Sue was great to work with. She has lots of empathy and a great sense of humour. Sue is open and trustworthy, easy to deal with. I would happily engage Sue to market a house for me again.

Buying and selling properties can be very stressful and I found Sue to be knowledgeable and extremely helpful on many different fronts. She was always available for any queries I may have had. The positive attitude she displayed was great and I would recommend her to anyone in the property market. Sue's overall approachability was a breath of fresh air in an industry that can have a very mixed reputation.

As a real estate agent in Australia for the last 23 years, it was refreshing dealing with someone whom I believe was newish to the industry. Sue was succinct in her appraisals, upbeat throughout the entire marketing process, and to the best of my knowledge, left no stone unturned. She was exceptional keeping me up to date weekly with calls in between. Excellent service. What impressed me the most about Sue was that during the negotiating of the eventual Contract she was made aware that the offer was acceptable yet still pursued a second set of buyers showing interest in case they were to offer my parents more. Now that is professionalism!

An excellent result. Great work. Honest, professional, well informed and very pleasant to work with.

I sold my last property in Belmont with Sue Evans. She was "Rookie Salesperson of the Year" in 2011. When I first met Sue I was immediately impressed with her friendly nature and enthusiasm. We quickly established a continuing friendship and I had no hesitation four years later engaging Sue once again to sell my home.

This is the second time I have engaged the services of Sue Evans. Sue is an outstanding agent. She worked tirelessly to get the best price for my property. She is very approachable, has a lovely manner with vendor and potential purchasers. She made regular contact with me to keep me informed about feedback from people coming through, as well as after open homes. She followed up on everyone who visited the property without being too pushy and scaring buyers away! She is very professional, friendly and a lovely person to work with. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to sell or buy. She is an excellent ambassador for the Company.

We had a great experience with Sue as our agent. Very professional, punctual and knowledgeable. We sold our house at the price range we wanted within the timeframe required. Overall, a great experience.

Sue Evans is not only a professional, highly motivated and driven to succeed, but is also extremely honest, reliable, trustworthy as well as a kind, caring person whom I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending to other prospective sellers or purchasers. Nothing was too much trouble to Sue, she was always contactable for big or small queries and never made me feel like it was not important.

Sue and I found Sue very easy to work with. She listened to what we had to say and then came back with a marketing plan that was in line with our thoughts. We quickly built up a good relationship with her and became confident in her ability and integrity. By the end we felt we were dealing with a friend.

Sue, thank you so much for the brilliant job you did on the sale of my home. It was a challenging time and you and Linda managed the process and our personalities with aplomb. Your advice, marketing and sales process worked so much better than I could ever have believed! The work you did with specific buyers, getting them the info they needed, chasing down the details and so on, clearly made a big difference and that played out at the Auction. I was also really impressed with the number of people from the various other Barfoot & Thompson Branches that came through the house and who had buyers at the Auction. Thanks for making this the solution I dreamed of! I would fully recommend you to anyone thinking of selling in the area.

We have no hesitation in recommending Sue Evans as a real estate agent. My mother and I have just completed the successful sale of my mother's property in Takapuna. We employed Sue Evans as our agent from Barfoot & Thompson Takapuna. Sue's enthusiasm and passion was evident to us. Sue had a good business and marketing plan which brought a strong bunch of buyers to the auction. She was always accessible to address any of our concerns and kept us informed on a regular basis of what was happening with open days, buyer interest etc. Sue handled all problems that arose and worked with our Solicitor on several matters. All options for getting a good price were considered and acted upon. The presentation and marketing of the property, and firm negotiating skills with buyers showed her experience in the real estate industry. We certainly believed Sue was working for us, not herself, the Company or buyers and we seemed to have an easy ride during the sale process.

Sue has helped me through the stressful time of selling my home. She was always very pleasant to work with - honest, positive and helpful - friendly towards myself and my family and kept us well informed about progress. The sale did not proceed without difficulties, but Sue persevered and worked tirelessly, even from Australia at one stage, to get me the best possible outcome. I thank her and wish her well in the future. I think I have said it all. Thanks Sue.

I had the pleasure to meet Sue after a family member passed away. I was tasked with organising the deceased estate including the sale of the house. From the start of the process Sue was very personable. She was able to relate to the circumstances surrounding the stress and emotion of our family selling our house. The house had been in our family for around 100 years. Sue drove to meet with me and my family to arrange the sale of the house, this was over 100km from Auckland each way. She did not pressure us to take a particular real estate 'package'. She had clearly significant experience in real estate. She was able to offer sound advice relating to real estate advertising and marketing. Her advice was sensible and no nonsense. Several family members had an interest in the estate and would all benefit financially from the sale of the house. Sue was able to keep all persons involved with the sale and up to date with offers, the latest happenings in relation to the sale of the house. I had complete trust in Sue's advice and felt she was working for our family not the buyer. I would recommend Sue as a trustworthy agent with a genuine interest in helping people sell their home.

I could not fault Sue on her approach to selling our property. Her professionalism, enthusiasm, integrity and work ethic was fantastic. She made selling our much loved family home a lot easier. I would certainly recommend her. It helped tremendously that I had known Sue for many years, although we had not stayed in touch. I loved her sense of humour too. She really did make it easy for my brother and I and nothing was too much trouble. It also was nice that I received an unsolicited testimonial from a well respected member of Barfoot & Thompson senior management, who I had approached about another matter. When told we were going to sell Taumata Road he straight away suggested Sue. I already knew Sue had a tremendous work ethic having had her own successful business, so it was an easy decision to go with her and helpful that she is with Barfoot & Thompson who were our preferred real estate company.

Sue has sold three properties for me in three months, while other similar properties failed to find buyers. She has worked tirelessly to satisfy both myself and the purchasers and everyone is happy. Sue is lovely to deal with - friendly, helpful and relaxed. She has a wicked sense of humour and has made the process of selling my properties so easy, taking care of the details so I did not have too. She has an astute knowledge of the local market and makes sure she us up to date with what is happening. I would definitely engage her to sell other properties in the future.

Sue was great from start to finish. Her proposal was very detailed, knowledge of the product excellent, and her marketing material certainly did the trick. We appreciated her straight forward but personable manner and she kept us up to date every step of the way to achieving a fantastic result.

I have nothing other than good to say about Sue Evans. I would rate her 10 out of 10 in every aspect of helping us sell our home. She was approachable, realistic, professional and kept us informed at every step of the way. Having bought and sold numerous homes in Auckland, Sue Evans I would rate as the best agent we have dealt with! I can't recommend her highly enough, she was outstanding in every area.

We found Sue to be extremely personable and charismatic, her experience and calm approach was reassuring and she delivered on every level. As they say when the going gets tough, the tough get going!

I highly recommend Sue as a professional and charming person of high integrity, with total confidence.

Very pleasant and approachable lady to work with. More than happy to work with Sue again.

Sue was brilliant, and she ticks all the boxes. Sue is very approachable, an amazing listener and heard what we were saying and she took everything on board. We communicated together, she did not talk at me, and very importantly was not in any way pushy, which would have had me walk away in an instant. She is totally honest, trustworthy and very compassionate. Sue was always available to talk to at any time and worked extremely hard in promoting this home to its best advantage, through the advertising mediums, the open homes and with the viewers. We were very impressed with the response Sue got for the house in such a very short time that it was on the market and we are more than delighted with the outcome. We are that confident in Sue as an agent, that she will get the job done and that she is working for us, that we have asked her to sell our own property in the very short future. THANK YOU SUE.

We have known Sue Evans for some months since we started looking for a new house. The first ones she showed us were not what we wanted, but she persevered and eventually found us the house we bought. Then she worked tirelessly to sell the house we were in, with open homes and listings in Property Press and On-line. We sold at Auction and were very pleased with the way Sue negotiated with the three buyers at the Auction. Sue's pleasant manner and dedication to her clients mean that we would highly recommend her to any prospective buyer or seller.

Our search for a home took over six months and during that time we met over 20 different real estate agents. It wasn't until we began working with Sue that we felt we had finally found someone that was on our side as a buyer, rather than just doing the 'hard sell'. Sue approaches everything with integrity and honesty, provides trusted advice and goes out of her way to find you a home. Throughout our six month search, Sue proactively sought out homes for us, emailing potential properties and keeping in touch regularly. When we found the right home, she walked us through all the purchase steps, and her auction strategy helped us secure our home. Sue's a real star! If and when we decide to sell and find another home, our first phone call will be to Sue!

I found Sue Evans to be very approachable and she showed lots of enthusiasm and positivity in her marketing of our house. (With a never give up attitude!). Sue was always very reliable and easy to get hold of. She took interest in building a relationship with me and my children, and even our cat! Even the neighbours got to know Sue and they told me that they thought she was a very good sales agent. I would be happy to recommend Sue Evans to friends and family and wish her all the very best in her career.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Sue to either property buyers or vendors. Her exceptional market knowledge, professionalism, dedication and limitless enthusiasm set her apart from the rest of the pack. It was an absolute pleasure working with Sue who always had time to provide us with sound advice and talk us through the process - at any time of the day or night. Her recommended marketing campaign was tailored to our specific property and her innovative approach and boundless talent and commitment ensured that we sold our property quickly and achieved a good price. We then had to find ourselves a new home and had a tight budget to achieve this in the areas we wanted to live. Here Sue really came into her own and not only found us an exceptional property, but worked with us to achieve our dream below budget! Not only is Sue a consummate professional, her personal approach and genuine desire to help us achieve our dreams really impressed. If we are ever looking to buy or sell a property in the future there is no doubt that the only Real Estate agent we will consider is Sue Evans. Sue achieved 100
in her objectives and I can't recommend her enough.

I highly recommend Sue as a professional and charming person to put you at ease when deciding to sell your property, her integrity and confidence was a ray of sunshine.

I have nothing other than good to say about Sue Evans. I would rate her 10 out of 10 in every aspect of helping us sell our home. She was approachable, realistic, professional and kept us informed at every step of the way. Having bought and sold numerous homes in Auckland, Sue Evans I would rate as the best agent we have dealt with! I can't recommend her highly enough, she was outstanding in every area.

I am writing to thank Salesperson Sue Evans for the wonderful service she provided in the sale of my home. She did an excellent job which resulted in me getting a very good price for my home. She was always most professional, very committed and also sincere, friendly and trustworthy. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sue to anyone I knew for the sale of their home.

I would definitely recommend Sue, as she was so approachable, very understanding, enthusiastic and very professional, honest and sincere. We had an excellent result, so we are very happy with everything.

I found Sue diligent, hard working, approachable and optimistic. I was not optimistic about the outcome of the sale, but Sue was right on the button all the time. Sue gives it everything. I was very pleased with the outcome.

Thank you for your excellent service, professionalism and understanding of our needs to sell this special property. We would highly recommend you to any of our friends who are selling or buying in the near future. Your friendly personality with a big smile wins hands down. All the best.

I found Sue very professional and friendly and would recommend her to my friends.

We first met Sue when we were trying to buy a property whilst abroad. It was extremely reassuring to find an Agent who went the extra mile and even hand drew us a floor plan as one did not exist! This ensured we were the highest bidders and Sue had happy vendors. Since then we have used Sue and her team to transact property in both the sub million and million dollar plus range. Her professional advice, approach and communication was spot on, whether it was sale by negotiation or auction, where no pre auction bids were accepted - in this case more work for her and her team, but definitely the best result. Having an interest in property we are acutely aware, through experience, of what an Agent should provide to both a vendor and purchaser and Sue definitely ticks all the boxes, including rushing out to get some flowers which we forgot for an imminent photo shoot. Her team also worked so well with the Council that they managed to gain access to information that for some reason we could not, enabling extra bidders to bid. Whether you are young or old, if you are looking to sell or just for advice, then we suggest using the best. Thanks once again Sue.

We can't speak highly enough of our dealings with Sue Evans. She respectfully guided us through a process we had been dreading and found challenging. At every stage we were fully informed, we felt able to contact Sue and ask any manner of questions and always felt listened too. What impressed us was the way she dealt not just with us, but also with prospective buyers. Her positive and realistic approach was much appreciated. She knew we were nervous and not keen on the whole process, but she and Peter made it all as comfortable as they could without mollycoddling us. Sue's performance more than met our expectations.

We were very impressed with Sue's professionalism and dedication to the task.

I think the service Sue Evans supplies is exceptional. She is always approachable, positive and has a lovely, friendly personality. Sue keeps in touch and is always at the end of the phone. I would recommend Sue to anyone thinking of selling their property. I have used Sue in the past and wouldn't consider using anyone else.

Sue's advice re the pre-Auction offer and the process to follow was thorough and very informative enabling the Trustees to make an informed, and in hindsight, good decision as to the way forward.

We chose Sue to market and sell our home and she quickly built a strong relationship with our family with her warm, friendly and caring down-to-earth approach. Sue was enthusiastic about our home and brought a persona of an energetic, hardworking and ethical person. Selling our family home, full of memories, was not just a business transaction to us. She gave us an honest and intelligent appraisal on our house. Her recommendations were sound, based on market knowledge and our positioning within the market. Her husband Peter, Associate to Sue, was extremely resourceful and provided us with excellent presentation advice. Sue kept us thoroughly informed all throughout the sales process of marketing, presentation, open homes and the Auction. She was always available to discuss any concerns. We had an excellent result from the Auction and are very happy with the outcome. We highly recommend Sue Evans for residential real estate needs.

From the first meeting, Sue listened to our brief and came back with a marketing plan and price guide that she felt was achievable for our house. Her knowledge of the local area and analysis of property sales, gave us the confidence to be guided by Sue's recommendations. Sue definitely puts her vendor first and everything she promised she acted on and delivered on time. Sue's reports following the open homes were detailed and gave us a clear picture of how the sales process was progressing. As a result, the sale of our property was successful at auction and we were happy with the price. We would recommend Sue as a true professional to any prospective buyer, due mainly to her openness, under promising and over delivering in every aspect of the sales process and would have no hesitation in using her services again.
