We recently sold our Devonport villa and were very pleased that we chose Trish and Tracey to sell the property. Most of our contact throughout the process was with Trish. We had owned the house for 23 years, 18 years as our family home and then as a rental property for five years when we relocated out of Auckland.

Trish gave us great advice as to what we should do within a budget once our tenants moved out regarding repairs, painting etc to bring the house back to the best possible state to have it ready to market successfully. She also provided great contacts for a painter, cleaner and stager and made time to work with them on our behalf. Nothing was too much effort and we felt listened to and never under any pressure which reduced the stress of selling from a distance.

Throughout the four-week marketing campaign, Trish worked really hard to be responsive to potential buyers, even holding an additional twilight open home not included in the original marketing plan when she saw a good response to marketing was attracting significant interest. She also did a great job staying in touch with seriously interested parties, resulting in a successful sale which exceeded our expectations on auction day.

Communication was exemplary throughout the campaign, and we were presented with a strong view of the price level that could be achieved, and it was delivered on.

Thank you Trish, happy to recommend you highly to anyone selling in Devonport.

Tracey and Trish were absolutely amazing throughout the whole process of both selling our house and buying a new one. They helped us every step of the way and went above and beyond to ensure we found our dream home. Tracey and Trish were always friendly, flexible, professional and well informed. They never put any pressure on us and always listened to our wishes and preferences. We are so grateful for the time and effort that Tracey and Trish put into our real estate journey, we will definitely be recommending them to all our family and friends!

We recently sold our house on Queens Parade, Devonport and we were lucky enough to have proposals from two very capable local real estate agency teams.We chose to sell with Tracey Lawrence and Trish Fitzgerald from Barfoot & Thompson. They are a very strong team and complement each other extremely well. They have had a lot of success in this market, know the territory well, have strong selling skills and an empathy for and understanding of the needs of buyers and vendors alike. We met the buyers afterwards and felt that it was a good outcome for both parties. Communications throughout were exemplary and they were highly ethical and professional throughout. They also presented a bold view of the kind of price levels that could be achieved and delivered on it.

Tracey and Trish sold our house at auction after a short three week campaign. We found them very approachable, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. They were also very responsive to buyers and made themselves available at short notice to show our property. If you’re thinking about selling your home, make sure to speak with Tracey and Trish!

When looking to sell and purchase a new home we were recommended Trish & Tracey from friends who had previously bought and sold in Devonport. From the get-go Trish & Tracey worked very hard for us and went above and beyond our expectations to find us the home that ticked all of our boxes. We found them to be complete professionals, extremely knowledgeable and importantly, they were always friendly and absolutely lovely to work with. We found their experience and knowledge of the local Devonport area extremely helpful and would absolutely work with them again. We would recommend Trish & Tracey to anyone buying and selling on the Devonport peninsula.

Tracey and Trish sold our Cheltenham home in January 2020 and they did a superb job. I like the concept of salesperson partnerships and believe that they can be particularly effective, as long as they are strong. This was certainly the case with Trish and Tracey. You never doubted that they would be utterly professional from start to finish. They both have a genuine passion for real estate and their collective experience and determination to do a great job shines through. You quickly get to know and trust that they will work tirelessly to get a successful sale. And they did exactly that for us.

We've bought and sold with Trish and Tracey several times. The reason we continue to use this team is because of their professionalism and pure drive to achieve the best results for their clients. They provide guidance and support throughout the process, are extremely flexible and always available even after the transaction has been completed.

What an awesome team to have on board to sell our house. Tracey and Trish came to us highly recommended by several friends that they had sold houses for so our expectations were already high. Together as a team, the girls went the extra mile to capture the market, keeping us fully informed along the way. Our house was a bit out of the ordinary. It wasn't a straightforward, easy-selling proposition, however they were passionate about it and us, which prospective buyers picked up on.

We respected their advice on the best way forward to achieve a sale and are happy to report that on the day the team came through with flying colours, achieving a top sale with all parties very satisfied with the outcome. However it didn't stop there. We sought their advice on a property we were interested in buying. They worked with the listing salesperson to make sure we understood any issues and bought sound advice to the potential purchase. We are pleased to report we ended up buying the property. The listing salesperson said she was more than happy working with Tracey and Trish to help seal the deal. The girls obviously have a good reputation out in the field which is invaluable. We couldn't have expected or asked for more from them. You could go ahead with confidence and choose them as your best option to help sell your home. We are sure you too, will end up with a smile just as we did.

Tracey and Trish helped sell our home, and buy a new one, during a rapidly moving Auckland housing market and a pandemic crisis in New Zealand. It was a roller coaster time to say the least but they were with us through every dip and turn. Tracey had recently sold our good friend's home and came recommended, whereas Trish had sold us our first home 13 years before so we knew we'd be in experienced hands. They were both enthusiastic and positive about our home. They gave good advice and, importantly to us, really listened to what we wanted to achieve and how we wanted to achieve it.

Tracey was our main point of contact. She was always approachable, generous with her time and utterly professional throughout the sales process. We felt she really went that extra mile on our behalf, had real integrity and empathy. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend both Tracey and Trish to others.

I have received exceptional service from Trish Fitzgerald and Tracey Lawrence. These salespeople have a high degree of emotional intelligence and excellent communication skills. They understood that I was looking to buy a home, not a house. They were determined to make the sale of my property as stress-free as possible and were unstinting in trying to find me a new home that fitted my specifications. When I come to resell they will be my go-to team.

Trish and Tracey at Barfoot & Thompson Devonport have sold two properties for me over 18 months. Fabulous people who worked hard to get great results. If you are selling your property in Devonport or Takapuna, I would absolutely recommend Trish and Tracey.

"I recently listed and sold my house through Barfoot and Thompson, my agent was Trish Fitzgerald. Being on my own I found Trish's help and support throughout the whole process invaluable and always felt very comfortable. Trish was always patient, professional and on hand to answer any questions. In the weeks after the sale Trish has also been available to offer advise and support when I was going through the purchasing process, even though I wasn't purchasing through Barfoots.
I would have no hesitation in highly recommending Trish to anyone who was contemplating selling their property"

"Trish showed me many houses some years ago when we were in the market and I found her to be knowledgeable about the properties she was showing and professional. It therefore made perfect sense to use her for our recent sale and I wasn't disappointed. Trish always did exactly as promised within agreed timeframes, kept me informed of progress, was very easy to get in touch with, and perhaps importantly works for her clients best interests".

"Trish made the whole stressful business of selling our home an absolute pleasure, nothing was too much trouble. We felt Trish had our best interests at heart every step of the way. Not only that, then she went out and found us the perfect house to begin a whole lot of new memories. We really did need and appreciate Trish's generous support and practical advise, it assured us and literally took all the pressure away. We would happily refer Trish to anyone needing to sell or purchase a new home".

"I can highly recommend Trish Fitzgerald to those looking for a honest, caring and warm agent in the Devonport area. Trish is friendly and engaging and has a sound knowledge of the market and made the sale of our property effortless. Trish is well connected and assisted us to locate a lawyer and home stager and made sure the photos of our property did it justice. I felt 100
confident in Trish to market and sell our property and achieve a very desirable result."

"Trish was so pleasant to deal with and I know we put some hard bargaining on her. Trish has given me the ultimate confidence in a real estate agent who works for her client first and foremost. If we ever come to sell again, Trish would be one of the most trusting people I could work with."
