What my clients say

Lawrence Stevens helped me sell my house and buy a new one. He listened to what I wanted and made the whole process less stressful. He was very knowledgeable and his market predictions were very accurate. He was very easy to deal with and helpful. He went the extra mile, dropping of forms to me, measuring furniture and explaining anything I was unsure about.

I have no hesitation in recommending Lawrence to my family and friends.

Poetry in Motion. Discourse from a grateful vendor.
Poetry in motion! Not a phrase that comes to mind when thinking of real estate transactions is it? Before my experience with Lawrence Stevens selling my home, I would have certainly agreed. Our journey began three years before my house went under the hammer. Having been through some very trying times, Lawrence was there to provide much needed advice, expertise and information. This proved vital to enable me to move forward.

Fast forward a few very trying years and I was ready to sell. Lawrence casually maintained contact throughout this time in a very respectful way. So when the time came he was firmly in the mix of salespeople vying for my business. Lawrence has a very low-key manner which engenders ease and friendship, In stark contrast to practically every other salesperson I dealt with who were full-pressure glitz and glamour. To be perfectly honest I very nearly fell victim to this approach. To his credit when the time comes to fight, Lawrence is up to the task. Long story short, and with much relief Lawrence was appointed as my salesperson. The i’s were all dotted and the t’s were all crossed with great expedience and care. Before you know it I’m ready for the market. The advertising goes live in the nick of time before BOOM! Auckland goes into Level 4 Lockdown. So there’s my house sitting pretty and looking great for all the eager buyers to see. The weeks roll by and interest builds, so when Level 3 hits Lawrence springs into action. Appointments are booked, permissions are granted, waivers are signed and Lawrence is the conductor of a symphony of orchestrated real estate fervour. A good Pre-auction offer is submitted but not accepted and bidder registrations begin to pile up.

To say Lawrence went above-and-beyond at this stage is an understatement. He was all a vendor could hope for and more. I was appraised and informed at every step. Advised on a reserve price that ended up being almost impossibly perfect, and we went to auction. On the day, we had a mix of 10 online, phone and in-house bidders. Within minutes our bold reserve was approached, then met, then exceeded. With the bidder who made the pre-auction offer going 100k above his initial offer! The end result was well in excess of my best expectations. Of course the work doesn’t stop there. Lawrence was able to navigate me through the post-auction details including one particularly tricky situation that he handled with a degree of aplomb approaching precognition.

All in all, I couldn’t be happier with Lawrence. He has earned my trust and I would recommend him with gusto to all that require the services of a real estate salesperson champion.

There are those who succeed through glitz and glamour, through brash self-promotion and bold promises. Then there are those who quietly practise the ‘Art of Real Estate’ with dignity and class. In summary, to have your house sale composed by Lawrence Stevens is to witness Poetry in Motion. Now that’s the sort of unexpected surprise that adds beautiful colour to this wonderful tapestry we call life.

Dear Lawrence. Thank you so much for looking after my mum Mary Rogers of Fruitvale Road. Your process was stress-free for her and I appreciate the way you treated and looked after her. Thank you again. It will be good to have my mum here. Kind regards

Maureen

Forever grateful to this guy. He is the reason I have my beautiful home with breathtaking view on the North Shore and first as a solo homeowner. Met Lawrence at an open home in New Lynn. Over the course of my search, I came across my now home late one night which was just listed. The listing salesperson was not responsive to my contact attempts and I was desperate to view asap so as it was with Barfoot & Thompson, I called Lawrence who of course was always available. I asked him if he was able to get me a viewing of this property and he organised it straight away meeting me early the following morning to view! Lawrence helped and guided me through the entire nail-biting process,. A+ communication and follow ups, he went over and beyond the call of duty and was my No.1 support person on Auction day! I highly recommend Lawrence and will use him for any future property sale/purchase. He is much more than a salesperson. He listens to what you actually want and gives valuable advice. I love his genuine caring approach and he does what he can to cushion an anxious and stressful journey.

I am delighted that we have had such a good result and that the new owner is Frankie. This is a very happy outcome for us and Bruce would be absolutely thrilled.

Many thanks for your excellent work in making this happen, especially with such a high level of integrity and professionalism. It would be hard to match your level of engagement anywhere!! Well done, it’s a great credit to you Lawrence.

Lawrence Stevens - if he is any indication of the quality of the other salespeople in your company, then you have an exceptional team. He was there to help me every step of the way in buying and then selling my home.

We would like to recommend to any prospective home seller in West Auckland, Lawrence Stevens from Barfoot & Thompson, who looked after the sale of our property for us. As we no longer live in New Zealand, we were reliant on Lawrence's knowledge and experience in the field and area. His professional yet approachable and conversational style was exactly what was needed for the sale of our property. His attention to detail and forward thinking was second-to-none and ensured the result was what we were looking for. Thanks Lawrence

Gerald & Pega

Thank you so much for helping us sell our house! We are thrilled with the price reached at auction which has allowed us to consider houses which we had previously ruled out as 'next level'. After meeting a few real estate agents, we chose you because you came across as the most professional, and we were not disappointed. We appreciated your considered approach Lawrence, and the time you spent explaining the details to us so we understood what was happening at each stage of the process.

Through the whole process, we felt secure that our house sale was in good hands, and we are super stoked with the outcome. We also saw the benefit of selling with Barfoot & Thompson, with so many different agents bringing buyers through our house. We would definitely sell with Barfoot & Thompson again, and if anyone asked us if we knew a good real estate agent, we would definitely recommend you. Thanks again, and all the best for the next sale.
Kind regards,

Rachael and Peter Cowie

Hi there. I would like to say a big thank you for the settlement of Arawa Street. The Barfoot & Thompson agent Lawrence Stevens is very professional. He is knowledgeable, easy to approach and shows great patience throughout the process. Thank you very much Lawrence for your help. Cheers.

We first met Lawrence 12 years ago when we were looking for a house in west Auckland and although in the end we purchased through another company, we were sufficiently impressed with his honesty and professional attitude to offer him sole agency when it recently came time to move on. Not only was Lawrence successful in finding a buyer for our property, his experience and knowledge of the market proved invaluable for finding the perfect house for our present needs. In particular, the support and advice he gave us in navigating both our sale and purchase was outstanding and much appreciated.

Ann & Badar

Lawrence and May worked very hard while selling our house. They always presented us with the latest market information which helped a lot in making our decisions. Both had a very personal touch and were always open and honest in the service they provided. Despite a sometimes tricky property market to navigate they always had the time to present the full picture as well as detailed weekly analysis, helping us to hold out for the best price. We were really satisfied with the entire experience.

Ben and Sophie

Lawrence Stevens was my agent and he was impeccable. Very professional, he was thorough and left no stone unturned to ensure I. had the best all round advice without trying to influence me in any way. He gave prompt follow up when issues required it, and he is an all round gentleman.

Nathalie Marshall

Lawrence Stevens displayed a thouroughly professional attitude during the course of our dealings with him and was a pleasure to work with. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone wanting to sell. He achieved an excellent result above our expectations. His professionalism was impeccable.

Garrett MacRae

Once again Lawrence provided a no nonsense, totally professional level of service. He always respects our wishes and knowledge, never resorting to exaggeration, hype or pushy persuasion. We respect his expertise, his judgment and attention to detail. Thank you Lawrence for another well run marketing and sales campaign, and a great result.

Alison & Raymond Davis

Lawrence was fantastic to deal with. He was approachable, honest, enthusiastic and easy to contact. If he wasn't sure about a detail he would find the answer and get back to you very quickly. I have recommended him to several people and will continue to recommend him.
Thanks Lawrence for the outstanding assistance you gave us in selling and buying our homes.

Maarten & Anastasia Tinsel

Once meeting Lawrence we were hooked due to the fact we could tell he is a people person. You can open up and trust Lawrence who is very professional and knowledgeable (especially with all the legal jargon and documents and clauses.). Lawrence is detailed by nature and crosses all the Ts and dots all the Is so there is no reason or surprises not to make selling our home as smooth as possible.
We were very impressed with the weekly reports as well as the texts giving regular updates as to the success of the open home...
We sold for the price we wanted in a reasonable time frame ...
We would thoroughly recommend Lawrence Stevens to anyone who seeks an agent who prides himself
on his market knowledge, work ethic, a top quality marketing strategy and persistence in attaining a
successful outcome.

"This is to express our gratitude to you for your efforts in negotiating the sale of our house at 44 Nacton Lane, Avondale. During the final stages of our agreement period with Barfoot & Thompson we had almost given up all hopes of the sale and thus the purchase of a house of our choice. It was your untiring efforts by which you kept the negotiations alive to make the sale possible keeping our interests still covered. We appreciate the help you extended beyond your terms to the extent in search of the details and viewing the house of our choice and giving us appropriate advice.
Once again we thank you for everything and wish you a bright future."

Punchi & Malini

"We would like to take this opportunity of thanking Lawrence for his professional, friendly and helpful service. Our house in Titirangi was sold by Lawrence in less than a week.
We would not hesitate in recommending him to anyone seeking a residential sales person of outstanding ability."

Barry & Judith MacLaren

"We appreciated the professional manner with which you handled the sale of our property. Your advice and discussion with us was always rational and intelligent, without any emotional reference to the current difficult economic times. Hence we never felt under pressure to change our stance on our property sale, nor did we ever feel irritated by unnecessary hype.
The feedback was always prompt, relevant and detailed. Thank you.
Should we be selling another property, or have friends who are, we shall not hesitate to recommend you as an agent."

Alison & Ray Davis

"Recently through your branch Lawrence Stevens marketed my home at 728 West Coast Road, Oratia. He made the whole process relatively painless for me through his professional approach, consideration and helpfulness at all times.
I very much appreciated the work he did. Thank you."

"Lawrence Stevens has been assisting us to find a house in his role as a Residential Sales consultant for Barfoot & Thompson.
We have always found him to be very professional, friendly and honest. He is the best we've met for following up and staying in touch but what we like the most about Lawrence is that he listens to us."

Dale & Michelle Simpson-Green

"Congratulations on the successful sale of 43 Sylvan Valley Ave. I was really impressed with the way you handled a difficult situation and delighted with the result."
