#5 Individual Salesperson, North Shore Region, 6 months ending September 2015
Since May 2003, when I joined the team at Barfoot & Thompson Albany, I’ve lived and worked in the area. I specialise in residential and rural real estate on the Shore and have a wealth of knowledge to share with you. With hard work and integrity I provide a quality service to all my clients. This explains why a large part of my business is repeat clients and referrals.
For nearly 100 years, Barfoot & Thompson has been selling property in the Auckland and Northland markets. Focusing on one geographic location ensures that we know this region better than any other Kiwi real estate company. The company’s dedication to innovation and its forward-thinking approach leads to increased productivity and a great sense of pride from employees, as they are able to deliver outstanding client service.
Prior to joining real estate, I completed a Bachelor of Arts and enjoyed many careers including being a government interpreter, a university associate professor, a newspaper journalist, a developer and I was also involved in an import and export business. Working across these different roles, I developed a diverse range of skills, particularly people-skills.
I’ve sold thousands of acres of rural property and many specialty properties such as tomato hot houses, a cucumber farm, an aubergine farm and many avocado orchards from Pukekohe in the South to Maungtapere in the North.
I am also the Vice-Chairman of a Chinese organisation. Should you require specialist language skills I am fluent in English and Chinese.
Outside of my real estate career I enjoy spending quality time with my family. My wife used to run a café and now works full-time at the Ramada Hotel in Albany. My son and daughter attended local schools - Pinehill Primary, Northcross Intermediate and Rangitoto College and are now both studying at the University of Auckland.
Whether you’re looking for residential or rural land or a specialty property, I would be able and pleased to help you. Call me at Barfoot & Thompson Albany – we’ll start talking about your next property move.
