We had an outstanding experience working with Leila & David on the sale of our property. Their extensive experience and in-depth market knowledge gave us confidence from the very beginning. They provided valuable guidance and practical assistance in preparing our home for sale, ensuring it was presented in the best possible way.

Communication was seamless throughout the entire process - they kept us informed at every stage, promptly addressing any questions or concerns. Their strategic marketing approach attracted strong interest, leading to a successful sale. We truly appreciate their professionalism, dedication and personal touch.

We highly recommend Leila & David to anyone looking to sell their property!

“After many days already on the market, it proved worthwhile to switch salespeople to David and Leila. I appreciated their down-to-earth attitude and proactive approach to resolving niggly issues with the property that had been roadblocks for earlier interested parties. A willingness to find easy pragmatic solutions, combined with their large network of property and council experts, no doubt gives Leila and David an edge over other salespeople. Both Leila and David made me feel comfortable from the outset. I would recommend David and Leila as the clear choice of salesperson in any suburb in a difficult market.”

“The most important and valuable asset which many people own is their home. Hence it is so essential to be very careful when reflecting on the choice of real estate salespeople when selling. From our perspective we decided to choose ‘The Biggest and also The Best’ which without doubt for us, was Barfoot & Thompson combined with Leila and David MacDonald. What an amazing team they have proved to be. Without any doubts, our choices have been inspirational. With many years of experience and background knowledge, Leila and David have both been excellent. The price they obtained exceeded our wildest expectations. They have been so supportive and also demonstrated very clear thinking when required at such a stressful time. We have no hesitation in recommending them to all prospective vendors. Warmest regards”

“Leila and David MacDonald made a very emotionally charged sale for me comfortable, and at all times I felt supported by the strength of their dedication to achieving a great result for me. I would never choose to do any property related transaction without them. They have guided me for years and their care and attention to both my purchases and sales have been second to none. They are the best! And I’d never look elsewhere.”

“The biggest decision we had to make in selling our home was to choose a salesperson who not only knew the local market, but also knew the worth of our property. It was a no-brainer to engage Remuera’s “Queen of Real Estate” Leila MacDonald. When we started to lose faith in a fickle market, David and Leila never did, taking a no-nonsense approach, successfully selling our property on auction day and meeting our price expectations. Great job Leila and David.”

"It is not surprising Leila and David are the No.1 partnership for their Agency. Leila brings a wealth of knowledge and a forthright style to the industry yet coupled with patience. David and Leila understood our unique property offering better than any other Agency and with their team approach, they achieved the result we wanted ."

We are so grateful to have had David and Leila selling our home for us. They were absolutely dedicated from the beginning as well as informative and transparent throughout the process. They were responsive and adaptive, and we always felt like we were in the best hands. We are so happy with the auction result, and could not recommend David and Leila more.

My apologies for not getting in touch with you sooner to let you and Leila know how much we appreciated all the hard work you both put in to marketing our property. We were relieved we were able to get an agent who we had worked with before to handle the sale of our home as there was already trust built up between us. Not many things in business are consistent over twenty years but the level of service, in depth knowledge of the industry and your absolute integrity, immediately spring to mind as being a few of the qualities you offer your clients.
We did appreciate your putting us in touch with Bill Cartwright whose experience and advice were invaluable. Also the custom designed colour brochure with its excellent script and good photography was superior to what we believe most other agents offer in this part of the market. The memory card Barfoots gave us was also appreciated.
However important these features are, the most significant indicator of your superior experience was the skill you and Leila showed on the day of the auction. The time you took to work patiently with the prospective purchasers showed incredible skill and enabled us to reach our reserve and exceed it. Many thanks to you both.
Sincerely

Impressive knowledge, experience and dedication by the agents, unfailing courtesy, helpfulness and attention to detail by PA and office personnel, all this gave a sense of confidence and made the process of selling not only painless, but also a smooth and pleasant one.

We had success with Leila and David MacDonald in selling our home. When engaging Leila and David they clearly outlined their way of working. At first we had difficulty in attracting interest in the property from our advertising. Leila called a meeting with her team and we tweaked the advertisements, including a new headline which started to attract more viewers to the open homes.
Leila and David were very charming and courteous to deal with and were always professional. They never built up false expectations but continued to follow their well-tried and proven method to make the sale.
We were delighted with their attention to detail and following up possible interested parties. Their vast experience proved to be a winning combination.
Adrienne and I would have much pleasure in recommending Leila and David MacDonald to anyone who wishes to market and sell their home.

Just wanted to thank you for all your assistance that started from you negotiating a sale at Kings Rd and then introducing us to a new home and assisting us with the purchase. It's clear to see why you and David are the
very best in the real estate field .Many thanks also for your assistance with mum and dad. They were appreciative of your advice and assistance. Thanks again from all of the Laity's, Ant & Ali.

We would like to express our sincere thanks to Leila and David for the very professional, pleasant and efficient way they handled our property sale.

The Barfoot & Thompson organisation swung into action very quickly and was most impressive. Within a couple of days we were having viewings and well before the advertising was due to commence.

At all times Leila was monitoring progress and the regular communication from herself, David and her PA Dawn was excellent. We felt very confident right from the start especially with the advice relating to the timing of campaign. Their approach was very positive and supportive throughout the process and we achieved a good outcome ahead of our time expectations.

"We engaged Leila and David Macdonald of Barfoot & Thompson to sell our house.

Leila and David kept us informed and supported us through the whole process and we are happy with the resulting sale.

We would recommend them to anyone thinking of selling."

"For many years I had heard that the Leila MacDonald was a top real estate salesperson. So I was delighted when she agreed to market my property on Westbourne Road, Remuera and prepare it for auction.

After rather dreading living through the process of selling, this turned out to be a very pleasant and interesting time. Leila was enthusiastic and inspirational. She has a very good eye and with some clever touches made my house look its best. For Leila nothing is too much trouble, she was hands on from day one, planting things in the garden, arranging flowers inside and de-cluttering various shelves. With the support of her son David she did a fantastic job, always considerate, pleasant and cheerful, it was a pleasure to have her around.
For anyone wishing to sell their property I would highly recommend both Leila and David MacDonald."

"Your integrity and your professionalism were evident from the outset and consistent throughout. The care, consideration, respect and guidance demonstrated by you towards both my property and to me personally made the selling of my home not only clear as to the process but enjoyable and is a tribute to you both.
Thank you for your kindness and your willingness to assist personally in the preparation of my property in the week leading up to its being placed on the market and for your outstanding efforts in achieving a sale within two weeks of the property being advertised.
It has been a pleasure meeting and working with you both and I wish you continued success and happiness."
