I was attracted to real estate because of the opportunity to not only meet new people, but to help and give service to those who are undertaking a big life decision, whether it be buying or selling property.
Prior to real estate, I had great success in sales, account management and customer service roles. I have a bit of a knack when it comes to problem solving, and I take great pleasure at making the buying or selling process easier for my clients.
Barfoot & Thompson was my company of choice for their dominance of the Auckland market and their instantly recognisable brand. IT support for salespeople, Marketing and Sponsorship resources available and a top-rate Training Department set the stage for success. Also, the chance to work alongside experienced salespeople from the many offices was really appealing to me.
I chose to work specifically at the Manukau Branch, as South Auckland is the place I call home. It's also a melting pot of different cultures - the people around here look like me, talk like me and have gone through similar life experiences.
On a personal level, I've been married for 10+ years to my beautiful wife Anna and together we have three children. For the past 12 years, I’ve lived in Papatoetoe (must be time to move on and explore another part of Auckland) and I am of Samoan descent.
For those looking for assistance when buying or selling property in South Auckland, do give me a call. I know I have the skills to make any transaction a great customer experience for you...Just ask for Big Dave, at Barfoot & Thompson Manukau!
