"I would like to thank you for the commitment and effort you put into this deal right from the outset and up to settlement. I'm super excited as this is our first home in Auckland, New Zealand and hence was a bit pedantic and anxious at times which you graciously accommodated - thank you again. I look forward to working with you in the future and would recommend your professional services to my friends for any real estate needs."

"I just wanted to take a moment to thank you both for all your hard work in helping me purchase my first property. The process was incredibly smooth, even though there were some complications along the way. I truly appreciate how you both handled everything with such care and professionalism. Your expertise made all the difference, and I couldn’t have asked for better salespeople to guide me through this important milestone. Thank you again for everything!

"Chris and Paula legitimately care about their clients. They achieved an amazing result selling our property, and then helped us secure our next home as well. They are the perfect combination of energy (Paula) and experience (Chris).

I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell or buy in Auckland. I felt throughout the experience that they gave us clear and honest feedback which helped us take the next step to our dream property."

"Chris and Paula are a fantastic team that helped us with the sale of our first house – no doubt they would be a perfect team for any house sale! They were very caring, professional and attentive to us, all our enquiries and questions. They made the whole process as easy as could be, and we felt very looked after throughout the whole process. They are just a fantastic and professional team – thank you very much, Chris and Paula! "

“Chris and Paula were fantastic with helping me sell my apartment. This was my first time selling property and they kept me involved with all the decisions and helped me understand the whole process. I felt reassured that they had my best interests in mind and my apartment sold at auction after only three weeks on the market!”

"Chris Saldanha and I were acquaintances many years ago, through a local community group when I first arrived in New Zealand. 20-odd years later, I found out that he was in the real estate business, and I just so happened to initiate the search for my first home. Initial dialogue after re-connecting and mutual understanding of requirements, proved to be just the right ingredients for my first-home buyer journey.

Chris was always reassuring, understanding and continuously supportive throughout the process. Meticulous, he always kept me grounded and reminded me that the general consensus of getting your foot on the property ladder in this day and age, is no easy feat. The sequence of events was much like dominos. One after another, Chris would seamlessly knock over key milestones, negotiating a fair deal with the vendor, assisting with providing competent builders for property reports, helping me understand the various key conditions that needed to be met, bringing forward settlement date, not to mention always being prompt with comms and understanding from my novice perspective of questions asked.

As a first-home buyer, with literally zero experience, I could not have asked for a better salesperson to take me through the process. With the experience and know-how that Chris has, to accompany me on the journey that has been. Massive thank you, Chris! I will most definitely be passing your contact details on to my colleagues, friends, relatives and anyone I come across who is on the search for their own home. All the best mate. I'm sure we will link up again in the not-too-distant future!

"Chris  helped us with the sale of our house as well as with the purchasing of our new property. Chris was friendly, approachable and professional. He was flexible with his time, had great communication (always kept us in the loop), was knowledgeable and gave us good advice.

Thank you for all your help and support."

“Chris went above and beyond to help us with both the sale and purchase of our house. He sold our last two houses and he’s going to get a call when we one day move again. Outstanding service, outstanding people, outstanding results!

"Chris Saldanha's handling of the sale of our property was extremely good. He was prompt in letting us know what was happening at every step of the way. I would recommend Barfoot & Thompson any day as long as they produce salespeople like Chris Saldanha to handle sales in these difficult times."

We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincerest appreciation for the service Chris and Les provided in marketing our residential property. You were both extremely professional with an exceptional knowledge of the real estate intricacies and having a great rapport with potential buyers.

The sale of our property was achieved in the minimum of time in a rapidly changing market.

Accordingly, we would have no hesitation recommending you as being very professional in your dealings and would certainly be in touch if we needed an salesperson’s service again.

Exceptional professional service from Chris Saldanah and Les Walbridge of Onehunga Branch. From first contact through to after sale at auction, the process of selling my home was handled in a very professional manner.

Both Chris Saldanha and Les Walbridge handled the sale of my home by auction, in a polished and professional manner. Chris was always willing to assist me without hesitation moving furniture, etc and even offered to mow my lawn when I injured my back! He was always aware of what needed to be done during the process of my home going to auction and guided me through the process. Les was also very professional answering my queries, driving me to the auction and back home again, attending Open Homes for me, while Chris was away despite family commitments. I feel privileged to have met and worked with Chris and Les. They gave me reassurance during what is normally a very stressful process!

Regards

"We were very happy with Chris’ honest approach to real estate and the suggestions he gave us. He went above and beyond to explain all the intricacies and options associated with selling our rental asset. Chris acted in a professional and non-intrusive manner to make sure that we were given the best possible scenario to sell our home. We could not recommend him highly enough to anyone wishing to sell. Chris’ sense of humour and knowledgeable guidance made the whole experience enjoyable. Thanks Chris! We wish you the best of luck for the future.

We look forward to working with you on our next property deal!

What stood out the most was that he never discouraged other salespeople from putting forward offers. I think this is a unique selling point when you sell through Barfoot & Thompson.

We look forward to working with you on our next property deal!

Both Chris Saldanha and Mark Leaver provided very professional service and I am very happy they got me a very quick sale on my Tennessee Avenue property.

Regards

Chris, you are a calm and honest person. Thank you for your patience. We really appreciate the way you showed us different houses and helped us to make the right decision. We are enjoying our new house.

"You have walked through the tiring journey week after week with the same passion. You have always acted in the best of my interest even at times when you could have got away with a better deal. I am grateful for the thoughtfulness you had towards my situation and not just the commission.
Your experience not only helped me to buy a low maintenance brick and tile home but your exemplary wisdom shared during the auction process enabled me to win the auction within my budget.  

"Chris is a friendly and approachable real estate agent. He is honest and trustworthy, and he was always willing to go the extra mile to accommodate my needs. I really appreciate the fact Chris did not pressure me to make decisions quickly. He gave me ample time to make my decisions. I would recommend Chris to anyone who is looking for an honest and reliable real estate agent."

We would like to express our thanks for the fantastic experience we had working with Chris. Chris worked with us in the recent purchase of our family home and guided us through the entire process. He is persistent and has great bargaining skills. He did not push us into making a hurried decision and gave us all the information we needed to make the right decision. Chris knows the market very well and proved to be the best professional. We will be recommending Chris to anyone we know who wants to buy or sell a home.

Chris is friendly, approachable and professional. He proactively emailed us information on properties that met our requirements and budget. He kept us informed right through the negotiation process. He was flexible with his time and was always available even after hours, to fit into our schedules. Chris went out of his way to arrange and attend the builder's inspection, by cutting short his holiday. Moreover, after settlement he contacted us to check how we were settling in to our new house. Thanks Chris for your time and we wish you all the best.?We will have no hesitation in recommending Chris to our friends and family.

It was a pleasure working with Chris. He is a wonderful person. We were lucky to have chosen him as our real estate agent.
He took us only to properties which were beneficial to us. He regularly kept in touch with us by phone or text and was available to meet with us late in the evenings, because of our work schedules. He patiently informed us and gave us sound advice. We are thankful to him for all his help and time. We are also thankful that he always put us and our needs first and it was never about personal benefit but always to help his customers. We can highly recommend Chris to anyone looking to buy or sell property.
Thank you so much again Chris. We wish him good luck.
