It was a pleasure having Craig as our realestate salesperson for the sale of our two properties. He gave his time unconditionally in some very trying circumstances. He was nothing but professional and his expertise in his field was second-to-none and went that extra mile to give us peace of mind and the best deal that was attainable.

I now rate Craig as a good friend as we have caught up occasionally (post sale), in a social environment. I wish Craig all the very best in the future, knowing that his positive attitude and gentle demeanour will take him along way.

At our first meeting, Craig gave us a very quick and, as it turned out, accurate evaluation of our house along with local real estate knowledge and a clear strategy for the best way to sell our home. The market had just started to shift to a buyers' market and so was an immensely different process from just two months prior. Craig had relevant information at his fingertips about the market and advised strategy changes to suit. His communication was quick and relevant so we always felt on top of what was going on. We trusted him and his advice implicitly through the bumpy journey of selling a house, and sure enough we finally landed two incredible offers. Craig worked with us through every step of the process; including photos, marketing material, open homes, responding to questions, offers and negotiations. His problem-solving skills were second-to-none. Craig is a good guy and a superb real estate salesperson. We are so grateful for all his hard work and the amazing result.

Craig has been an amazing real estate salesperson throughout the whole process of the sale of our home. He was always available, prompt and clear with his responses which I believe made a huge difference to how much interest we have had in our house.

He has a good eye for what will attract buyers. He did a great job in advising and helping us set up the house for the photos and chose photos that I would have chosen myself. His description of the property was bang on and really took into consideration the biggest appeal of the house.

He really took the time to explain and educate us of the whole process of selling and everything that’s involved so it didn’t seem like such a daunting task. In fact, he took care of everything making it completely stress free.

Craig really went above and beyond for us. We were looking to buy around the same time that we were selling and Craig made a point to check in on us to see if we had any questions or needed any help with the buying process even though he was not involved with it. He gave us really good advice on what to look for and how to get the best outcome out of auctions and negotiations.

Craig is a great real estate salesperson who’s really good at his job. 19 offers in five days, with multiple offers well exceeding our expectations, the result really speaks for itself.

I first met Craig Rodgers through a recommendation from a neighbour. I was considering leaving Auckland so it was going to be a huge move for me to make. I think it took me over six months to finally make the decision to go and during that time Craig kept in touch on a regular basis to see how things were going but never hassled or tried to push me.

Once the decision was made and the process of selling and buying began, Craig was even more supportive. At every step he keep me informed, any problems he helped where he could and he was always insistent that every decision that was made I had to be totally happy with.

I can honestly say that at no time was any pressure put on me and thanks to him the whole process wasn't as stressful as it could have been. I will always be grateful to him for his support and would highly recommend him as an agent to anybody.

Thank you for the great work on the sale of my home.  The best shortest period of only one weekend.  It's great that I've been able to come back to you both to sell my home.  (repeat Vendor!) The process from start to finish was at ease with no pressure at all.  Everything we discussed you both managed the "high" volume of interested parties, myself and Rangi were in control of the sale process down to the negotiating stage.  I couldn't have asked for a better experience with the sale of our home.

From here we are moving out of Auckland to our next beautiful destination, for the time being we will enjoy the last couple of weeks of our home.

PS: Thank you Steve Hay for having a great team and leading great staff!  You certainly gave us the best service experience in real estate!

Thank you!

We wanted to thank Craig and Sheryl for helping us buy our very first home. Both Craig and Sheryl have been awesome from start to finish. We were looking for our first home for quite some time now, we had put offers on a few of them but in most cases agents used us to get higher offers from other buyers but Craig and Sheryl showed their dedication and consideration towards us. They were always on time, answered all our queries, explained the process in simple terms. Craig kept following up with the seller to get things done around the property before settlement which was just brilliant. We will definitely recommend Craig to everyone we know.

The first thing I liked about Craig was his down to earth, friendly and non pushy attitude. His commitment has been above and beyond. Not only has he completed the sale on my house here in Auckland but also helped me with the purchase of my new home in Invercargill - he even took me out to the airport at 4.30 in the morning rather than me take a taxi!
Throughout the whole process Craig has always understood what a big decision this was for me and he has always been there to help or listen and has never tried to pressure me. In fact he has always been adamant that I take my time and be happy with every decision I make.
His professionalism, support and friendship has been incredible and I sincerely thank him for everything.
I would have no hesitation in recommending him to any buyer or seller.

I often lambasted the real estate profession for many things, one being the attention to the people behind the sale or purchase is often lacking as the search for higher commission cheques and quick deals seems to skew the service you get. I've had many a bad experience to support this feeling.
We've just sold our investment property with Craig Rodgers being the man who stood alongside us on the journey. I can't sing his praises enough, from an awkward start that we caused, through to the genuine support and counsel he provided during the open homes and multi offers, through to the end process when the buyer made life stressful with small issues - at every junction he provided a calming voice, an immediate solution and made problems go away.
People are quick to shout about poor service but this man is an example of genuine customer care. When our lawyer made comment of 'agents fees' and 'you wonder what they do because its a lot' - I found myself immediately jumping to the defence of the big lump sum that went out and said;
In this case, the guy is worth every penny, if you're in West Auckland property, use him.
Thank you Craig. We appreciate your service.

We want to thank you guys again for the amazing job you did at selling our house! You have both been straight up and honest right from the start which is just what we needed and we trusted you all the way with your advise and also your support when we were feeling rather stressed, is all appreciated. You made selling seem so easy and your friendly approach gave us a good connection with you both right from the beginning of the process. Thank you for looking after us in regards to finding a new place, sending us links of houses to look at and spending your time to take us through these properties. We had great communication all the way and as we hadn't sold before it was nice to know what was happening behind the scenes. Thank you so much for absolutely everything. You guys have been great to work with.

Thank you Craig & Sheryl for the dedication and hard work for the past 8 weeks!! Great purchase of a new home and the sale of our old home! You are both down to earth and honest agents, you made it so seamless kept us up to date with everything behind the scenes! Going to miss our catch ups but I'm gonna love my new home even better! Keep up the great TEAM work and all the best to your future Vendors and Purchasers. Highly recommended!

I am writing to formally thank you for your recent efforts in helping my partner and I purchase our first home.
We began looking to purchase a property at a time when the market was very competitive and intimidating for first home buyers. Knowing where to start and where to look was made much easier because of the advice and assistance you gave us. Your knowledge of the buying process was second to none and we would not have become so knowledgeable about the market without your help. We cannot thank you enough for your patience, advice, attention to detail, and the time you took out of your busy weeks to sit with us and discuss our options. We are completely impressed and sold on Barfoot and Thompson. We will be advising our friends and whanau to contact you in the future if they are looking to purchase or sell their property.Thanks once again for your outstanding service, we are delighted with the outcome and our new home. Kind regards,

It has been a pleasure to work with Craig Rodgers who successfully managed the sale of our house in March 2016. We were impressed with his marketing campaign and his expert guidance in the lead up to selling our property by auction. Craig also worked with us to purchase our subsequent property in April 2016. His unfailing efforts to help us find our next property were greatly appreciated. We found the advice he gave was unbiased, professional and knowledgeable with the goal of ensuring we were making the best purchase for our family. Craig is an honest, hardworking agent who we can highly recommend as an excellent real estate agent for Barfoot & Thompson.

We have recently purchased and sold a property with Craig Rodgers + Sheryl Chisholm of Barfoot and Thompson Royal Heights.
Craig + Sheryl's easy going nature made it simple to deal with and they certainly delivered a great result in both cases. I highly recommend engaging the services of Craig Rodgers + Sheryl Chisholm for your real-estate needs. We will certainly be asking Craig + Sheryl to be involved with our next property

We couldn't be more happy with Craig. We found him down to earth and trust worthy, managed our expectations really well, always went the extra mile for us and was all around a great guy to deal with. We ended up getting an excellent price which was well above what we thought was achievable thanks to Craig's recommendations. We wouldn't hesitate to work with Craig and the Barfoot team in the future.

Thank you for the wonderful experience of purchasing our new home.
It was quite daunting entering a multiple offer situation and also its not every day that such a large purchase is made.
Both your level of service and Integrity in answering the many questions we had made our journey one to remember and gave us confidence in our final decision..
In short it was fun and we are extremely pleased with the result - you are certainly a credit to Barfoot and more than fulfilled any expectations that we had from such a company.
I wish you all the success you deserve and will have no hesitation in recommending you to others.

Craig has worked tirelessly to get me the right property at the right price. No request has been too much, no time of the day has been too inconvenient. Furthermore he has gone out of his way to provide all available information and details to help me make an intelligent and informed decision.
In all my dealings with Craig I have always found him to be perceptive regarding my property needs and importantly he is consistently courteous and polite.
Craig is a go-getter and I recommend him to you
