“I have known Eric Shi for 3.5 years as my Branch Manager at Barfoot & Thompson, Royal Heights.

I have always found Eric to be friendly, organised and extremely helpful to all the Salespeople and Admin staff. Eric has a great understanding of the different dynamics of people and this is a wonderful skill to have in the real estate industry.

Eric has exemplary leadership skills and utilises these skills in a way that encourages and enthuses our team to go out and do their best.

Eric's style of management is one that makes us all feel that we are important to the branch, whether you are a salesperson, property manager or branch administrator. Eric is a listener and has a demeanour of calmness, diplomacy and understanding.

Eric always fully supports local community schools, events and sports. His love for his community and for New Zealand shows how much Eric is proud to be a New Zealander.

Working with Eric is a joy. Knowing that one can go to Eric and discuss any work related issue and have someone listen and also receive back some good advice, is very reassuring. Eric has a great sense of humour, and is wonderful at getting the whole team together and celebrating our successes.

I find Eric to be a man of integrity, intelligence, kindness and a wonderful person. His smile lights up a room and I am proud not only to call Eric my manager but also my friend.”

“Working with Eric has been an absolute privilege. He is a highly responsible and dedicated leader who is always there for us, no matter the time or situation. Whenever we face challenges or uncertainties, Eric is just a call away, ready to offer guidance and solutions. His commitment to helping us navigate through issues, especially in the real estate field, is truly remarkable. Even during his personal time or vacations, Eric makes himself available, never hesitating to provide us with the support we need. His attentiveness, thoroughness and unwavering assistance have been invaluable to our team.

Eric consistently goes above and beyond, offering expert advice and ensuring that no question goes unanswered. He is the kind of leader who genuinely cares for his team and clients, and his efforts have helped us overcome many obstacles with confidence. I cannot express enough gratitude for having such a thoughtful and exceptional boss.

“Eric is much more than just a Branch Manager. He is approachable, easy to work with and is flexible. You can reach out to him anytime; he listens to your concerns and works out a solution for you. To begin with, he is a salesperson who has spent more than a decade in the industry and has seen different markets over the years. Therefore, Eric has the insight, the knowledge and the ability to guide you in the right direction.”

"Eric Shi started as an associate to the top salesperson at Te Atatu, John Zhang. When John transferred to Epsom, Eric came to me and explained he would not follow John and asked if I would consider him as a salesperson - of course, I did!

Eric soon built his team and earned the status of top in the office as well as being highly ranked in West Auckland for many years.

Eric is a quiet, modest, driven, and strategic man. I know that Eric's family are also proud of him and thankful for the lifestyle they enjoy together, traveling and experiencing the diversity and adventures of our world.

Eric has a law degree, which shows in his inherent ability to consider and act in the best interests of all parties. Eric understands business principles and is highly respected by his fellow managers, his team, and wider company members.

I am very proud that Eric took the path to Branch Manager - he is one of life's gentlemen and a huge asset to Barfoot & Thompson."

"Eric is not just a branch manager; he is also a mentor and close friend who always supports and listens to me. Thank you, Eric. I am proud to work with you. You are awesome!"
