Excellent & Friendly Service - Excellent communication, service and can-do attitude. Meredith goes the extra mile and is always cheerful and professional. She knows how to get your property sold!

Outstanding Dream Maker
Meredith is one of Barfoot & Thompson’s best assets! We thoroughly enjoyed our home buying experience and Meredith smoothed the waters of the very stressful time that house buying is! She was brilliant at helping us negotiate the auction process and because of that we bought our dream home!

Meredith is a terrific salesperson, highly recommended!
Meredith was an absolute pleasure to work with! We were impressed by her positive attitude, enthusiasm, friendly approach and professionalism. Her efficiency and promptness in communication between us as buyers and vendors, her excellent recommendations for other key players in the home buying process, and her insight into local services and amenities were all very helpful when we were buying our first NZ home. Thank you, Meredith!

Meredith will give you the highest standard of service. 5 Stars
I would like to thank Meredith publicly for her excellent management throughout the marketing process and sale of our home in Orewa. We are currently living in Wellington and after reading her profile and reviews on the Barfoot & Thompson website, I had no hesitation in selecting Meredith as our salesperson. After chatting over the phone and arranging one meeting onsite, Meredith took charge and with speed and efficiency ensured the property was ready for sale in just one week. Everything she did was completed to the highest standard and her lovely kind, capable and friendly manner ensured we felt relaxed, confident and more than happy to follow her advice. As we were absent vendors, Meredith worked well beyond what we would expect of a salesperson ensuring the property was always presentable for photos, open homes and ultimately the auction. I really cannot recommend Meredith highly enough; she is so professional in everything she does, she is trustworthy, always cheerful and a great communicator. The photos were amazing, the advertising perfect, her attention to detail left no stone unturned and together with the Barfoot & Thompson team on the night, we were delighted to successfully sell our home.

Next level ability in a tough market!
When it came time to move on, there were two things we wanted - Meredith Galliven and Barfoot & Thompson (so it was lucky she worked for them). Knowing Meredith personally was a big part in terms of trust (a huge thing for any prospective salesperson) and her success as well stood out to us. \From day one, we had everything explained simplistically. Open homes attracted more views than we thought we’d get at the time (March/April '24) as the market was changing. She followed through thoroughly with every prospect including one group we thought “it would never happen”. This ended up being the group that did purchase our place which included some interesting clauses in the S&P contract. If you're on the Hibiscus Coast you simply should not go past Meredith whether selling or buying .

“I would like to say a big thank you to Meredith, who worked with such positivity to sell my home. This was a very big step in my life. Meredith has a very friendly and sincere attitude, and kept me updated every step of the way. I would definitely recommend her to anyone wanting to sell their house.”

Meredith was awesome to deal with. Her positivity and bubbly personality were not only on a professional level but also a very friendly one. She found us our dream property a few years ago and then has helped us to sell our current home. She has her vendors as her top priority and cares about everyone involved. The process was smooth and efficient and everyone involved is happy with the result. Meredith’s energy was perfect. She gave us space when making decisions, but was right there when we needed input. We appreciated the effort she put into marketing our property and our open home viewings, and then keeping us up to date with the feedback. Meredith is the consummate professional who knows how to deliver excellent results for her clients (communication is the key). We give her six stars out of five. We have had a great experience with Meredith and would highly recommend her and the team at Barfoot & Thompson Orewa.

Hi Kathryn & Meredith. A letter of thanks to you both re the sale of our property in Stanmore Bay.

Meredith provided us with a comprehensive appraisal and arranged a meeting on site with herself and colleague Kathryn Binks, to discuss our various options. They impressed us with their professional approach and immediately we felt comfortable and relaxed. Their marketing recommendations and regular updates gave us the confidence to proceed with an Auction for this sale.

We attended the Auction which could have been stressful but in reality, thanks to Kathryn and Meredith’s support, the whole procedure went very well with a favourable result for ourselves and I believe for the Purchaser.

We are both very grateful to both Meredith and Kathryn for the continued afte- sale information they are providing and would have no hesitation in recommending both to prospective sellers or buyers.

We would like to thank Meredith for working tirelessly alongside us throughout the entire sales process of our home. Meredith has a cheerful manner, a professional approach and we always found her very positive. Her communication was excellent with regular updates and feedback. We would highly recommend her as an honest, dedicated and experienced real estate agent.

Meredith was amazing and is the epitome of a 5 star salesperson! Her warmth and caring personality in the sale of our recently passed Dad’s house, ensured the process was so easy.

Her knowledge of the local market was influential in helping us navigate the sale of our Dad’s property. She made the journey effortless with her marketing experience and Barfoot & Thompson’s “brand’ to support the release to the market and subsequent sale. Meredith has great attention to detail, is genuine, friendly and was totally devoted to providing a great result for us and the purchasers.

Meredith went above and beyond, providing constant contact, guidance and support, feedback and subsequently excellent negotiating skills to provide a very positive outcome in securing a great sale price.

I would recommend Meredith as the salesperson of choice and our family are beyond grateful.

Many thanks Meredith!

We struck gold when we chose Meredith Galliven to sell our home. We are in our 80's and have sold numerous properties over the years and Meredith helped us through the process. She was professional but also very caring. Nothing was a problem and she was always available if we had a query, and there were quite a few. We have no hesitation in recommending her to any prospective seller or buyer.

We cannot recommend Meredith highly enough to anyone looking to sell their home. From the very first time we met Meredith we knew she would look after our best interests. She is the consummate professional and knows the housing market inside out. Meredith has a lovely, kind, friendly approach and she cares deeply about her vendors. Her communication skills are second-to-none and we just loved working with her to sell our beloved family home. Thank you Meredith, our family so enjoyed getting to know you.

Meredith did a wonderful job of helping us purchase our property. She couldn't do enough for us. Very knowledgeable. I would certainly use her when we sell our property and highly recommend her.

Meredith is a thorough professional and I recommend her to any seller.

Having previously sold a property for us, Meredith was our 'go-to' person to sell this house.  She is professional, extremely knowledgeable of the local market, kind and kept me informed every step of the way.  Meredith goes above and beyond!

A great experience!  Meredith was super helpful throughout our buying process and constantly kept us updated as things progressed.  Thank you Meredith.

It was a pleasure once again to work with Meredith. I can't speak highly enough of her professionalism with the sale of my home and achieving a great result for me. Her manner is friendly and approachable and she knows our local area inside out. This is my second successful sale with Meredith and I would highly recommend her as an exceptional salesperson to anyone wanting to sell their property.  

Moving on with life!  I can't speak highly enough of Meredith's professionalism in dealing with the sale of my home. This can be a very emotional time and Meredith was sensitive to my needs. Her market knowledge is excellent and my house was viewed extensively resulting in a very quick sale at an excellent price.

I would highly recommend Meredith to market your property.

She is an exceptional salesperson and we highly recommend Meredith to anyone wanting to either buy or sell a property.

I would like to say a huge thank you to the Barfoot & Thompson team. Our experience from start to finish in selling our home was wonderful and the sales team were exemplary. Our listing salesperson, Meredith Galliven, was an absolute delight to deal with. She kept us calm and informed and I cannot thank her enough. The auctioneer and everyone involved in our sale were all very professional and a pleasure to have working for us. I will not hesitate to shout from the roof tops that this is the company to deal with. Bravo to all of you and especially Meredith, she is a real treasure.

It was a lucky day for me when I met Meredith! She is a real pleasure to work with while marketing and selling your home.

"We met Meredith some time ago at one of her open homes and decided then that we would use her to sell our home. We were taken with her positive and bubbly personality and also very impressed with her helpful attitude towards people looking to buy property. She has just sold our home for us and she was truly excellent. Meredith is very knowledgeable and knows the area so well, she gave great advice and we also feel we have made a good friend. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a truly fantastic real estate salesperson."

We both took to Meredith from the word go. Her friendly smile, easy going manner and patience, put us at our ease right away at quite a traumatic time. Her realistic, sound knowledge of the local market, plus advice on presenting our home for marketing gave us confidence to sell. Meredith’s knowledge, plus efficiency dealing with relevant documentation was second-to-none.

Following open homes and viewings we received quick and informative feedback. We think Meredith is a gem and highly recommend her to potential clients.

Before choosing a real estate salesperson, my wife and I conducted a lot of research to see who would be the best choice to sell our property in Orewa. Meredith Galliven of Barfoot & Thompson stood out as the most appropriate. We met her at her office and instantly we knew that we had made a good choice. Her bubbly character along with approachable demeanour really made us comfortable to talk to her and explain about our expectations of sale. Meredith has a very positive approach to work and is hard working which instils confidence in her clients. Everything that was discussed went according to the plan and Meredith always kept us updated with remarks from the prospective buyers and the feedback report. She sold our unit on the auction day and we are very delighted with the outcome. We've had a great experience with Barfoot & Thompson and if I have to buy or sell, I will have no hesitation to go and tap on Meredith shoulders for help and recommend to my friends.

To sell our house recently we engaged the services of Meredith Galliven and were extremely impressed with her enthusiasm and thoroughness in achieving a great result for us.  Her knowledge and her professional and friendly manner removed any stress from what can be an unsettling time when you have your house on the market.  We have no hesitation in recommending Meredith highly to future home sellers.

"I cannot recommend Meredith highly enough!  She went over and above to get our Orewa property prepared for sale and got it successfully sold under the most trying and restrictive national circumstances. She was a pleasure to work with: efficient, skilled, realistic, extremely knowledgeable about the local market, quick to provide feedback, and all with a bright, bubbly personality. I appreciate the way in which she always did that little (actually big) bit extra. I would most definitely work with her again."  

"The thought of selling my property in Orewa whilst based in Taranaki was daunting, however I needn't have worried after appointing Meredith to market and sell the property - she is exceptional! I felt very comfortable and confident to leave things in her capable hands. Meredith took care of everything required to prepare the house for the market including arranging the power connection, cleaning and furniture staging ready for photography and marketing. Being an ex-rental property, this was not an easy task and Meredith made the process easy and stress-free for me. Meredith is professional and provided really great advice. Even with a contract in place she worked hard to secure back-up contracts to get the best possible result for me. I would thoroughly recommend Meredith as a top agent to anyone looking to sell their home. "

Meredith was easy to work with and nothing was too much trouble. She worked tirelessly to bring people through our home to get the best result and always kept us informed. We found her to be reliable, honest and friendly and we would recommend her to any prospective seller.

Thank you Meredith for your professionalism, honesty and advice in selling our home in Orewa, it was first class. You kept us informed every step of the way in what we perceived to be a potentially daunting and difficult task and turned it into a pleasant and easy experience. Your negotiation skills were top notch in securing us the best price available in the market. You went out of your way to ensure that our sale proceeded smoothly and we would happily recommend you to anyone looking for a great real estate agent.

There is hardly a time in one's life that is potentially more stressful and with more sleepless nights than when you make the decision to sell your home - but Diane and I were spared from all this, having made the great decision to engage the services of Meredith. As a retired salesperson myself, here is a lady who is an absolute credit to her well chosen profession. She kept us informed at all times, gave great advice throughout the sale process and achieved a fantastic result for us. We were privileged to have Meredith guide us from beginning to the successful end. It has been an absolute pleasure. Thank you again.

I would like to thank you Meredith for all your help in selling my house. I was worried about the process of putting my house on the market and selling but you did a great job of reassuring me and you kept me updated the whole way through which was fantastic. Thanks for all your kindness and help, it was truly appreciated.

Thank you Meredith for the lovely gift. It should be us shouting you for your patience, perseverance, translation skills and brilliant sales skill! We have loved your positivity throughout the process of selling our home. Thanks again.

Meredith really listens and takes the time to understand her client's needs and what they are looking for in a new home. She will go out of her way to help in any way she can, is honest and considerate and is one of the best consultants I have ever dealt with. I consider her to be exceptional.

Meredith assisted us with purchasing our new home. She was excellent in keeping us updated during our purchase and exceeded our expectations of a real estate agent. She goes the extra mile and is friendly, approachable and helpful in a way that we have not experienced in an agent before. Meredith is honest, never pushy and always available and we would absolutely recommend her to all our friends and family.
