About Vern Hines

I am a former police officer and a family man with four adult children. I love fishing, particularly fly-fishing our beautiful rivers, scuba diving, snow skiing and I am really passionate about wine and food.

My experience with project development and investment properties is extensive, having built four new homes and completed a number of major renovations since 1991, when I began working with Barfoot & Thompson.

Having been a vendor myself many times over, I understand exactly how to market your home effectively. I have a deep understanding of real estate, a diverse set of skills and am constantly adapting to meet the ever-changing market trends.

I have enjoyed a very successful real estate career to date, with some outstanding results and many extremely happy clients. One of the most rewarding experiences has been when people have returned for further advice and sales as their needs have required.

In recent years around 93 percent of my business has been from previous clients. Knowing that they trust me to assist them with their real estate needs and requirements has given me the ultimate job satisfaction.

What my clients say

"Sara and Vern have been nothing short of incredible to work with. Aside from being honest, hardworking and fun, they know Mt Eden property inside out. We considered several other Real Estate agencies but none came close to having the knowledge of Mt Eden that Sara and Vern have. They really are the experts in Mt Eden. They knew every house that had sold in the area and they knew everything about that house - the price, the size, the buyer. That unsurpassable knowledge meant they gave us a realistic idea about price, and an assurance that they were the best people for the job. But even better, they came with the support and networking of Barfoot and Thompson. They worked with other Barfoot and Thompson Agents to ensure we got maximum exposure. That network and support is something unique to Barfoot and Thompson and we reaped the benefits of it.
Throughout the process we felt supported, well communicated with and totally confident that our home was in the best hands possible. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Without reservation, they are your only choice if you have a house to sell in Mt Eden!"

Catherine Patrick - Mt Eden

"Vern and Sara make a great combination and work well as a team. Very easy to deal with and nothing was a problem. We found both very approachable and helpful. We were pleasantly surprised and thrilled with the end result of the video they both made of our home. The photos and the photographer they recommended were outstanding, we were extremely impressed with our photos all of which helped sell our house. My husband and I would have no hesitation in recommending Vern and Sara to anyone considering selling or buying a house. Thanks Vern and Sara for all your hard work and a great end result."

Greg and Helen Armstrong

"It was a real pleasure to have Vern and Sara of the Hines-Knight Team marketing our home and taking it to auction. Together they are a great, complementary team who understand property values and all the subteleties and complexities of the property market. They did an exceptional job for us from the proposal, photos, video with commentary, open homes - right through to the auction and follow-up jobs. We are delighted with the auction result which was far above our expectations and set a new record for our street. We have no hesitation recommending Vern and Sara to others considering listing and selling their property."

Michael and Desiree De Courcy
