In the current real estate market with the challenges of increased listings, reduced sales and falling prices, it is essential for both buyers and sellers to engage an experienced and knowledgeable real estate salesperson who can provide honest, informed and wise advice.

My wife and I have been involved with Hugh as both buyers and sellers within the Kerikeri real estate market, and in each transaction we have found him to provide sound, honest and wise advice. As buyers, he represented the vendors with integrity. As a seller, he provided successful and sensible advice on marketing, pricing and selling strategies.

He was diligent in providing feedback on each viewing and open home, and in following up with prospective purchasers who had expressed interest in our property.

He has an unfeigned warm and friendly manner, and this enables him to establish and maintain an excellent and comfortable relationship with both buyers and sellers.

Our relationship and business dealings with Hugh have been excellent in every respect and I have no hesitation in recommending him to both real estate buyers and vendors.

During the two years we spent looking, we got to know Hugh very well. Our brief was a property similar to our existing home, but in a new location, with more room for a man shed and with potential. We found him approachable, genuine and extremely knowledgeable. So much so we didn’t bother seeking out any other salespeople.

We trusted him to do his best for us. He went out of his way to be helpful and listened to what we were after.

We thought he put a great deal of effort into helping us through the process of buying and selling our properties.

"Hugh was recommended to me by a previous neighbour who said "I think you will like Hugh'. Hugh is a warm, interested and enthusiastic salesperson. From the outset and throughout, there was a strong impression that Hugh was truly there to act on my behalf and this revealed itself in multiple ways. His manner and communication was always courteous, prompt, concise and relevant to the unfolding situation. Hugh was willing to assist in any way, adaptable and measured in his approach. I would definitely recommend him to others."

Many thanks for all your hard work and persistence in achieving the sale of our house. We always knew it wouldn't be easy but never thought it would be as hard as it was. We were very lucky having you as our agent. When the going got tough, you got tougher!
We appreciate the time and effort you put in to reach settlement. Best wishes for your future sales and once again thank you.

When we met Hugh for the first time we were impressed with his ability to convince us that his proposal was genuine, and he would support us and work hard to sell our house. He has great skills especially listening and understanding what our needs were. We looked forward to meeting Hugh on occasions to discuss buyers proposals. The relationship we had with Hugh during the sale of our house went from professional to friendship. We really liked the way he communicated and followed up. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Hugh to anyone wishing to sell their property.

It is with pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for Hugh Fenwick. Throughout all our dealings with Hugh, he was always dedicated, professional, friendly and supportive. Hugh kept us up to date with the progress of prospective buyers and always gave us updates with weekly vendor reports even when there had been no viewings on the property. I always found Hugh honest and highly recommend him. He just didn't sell our property, but SOLD it well. I am happy for anyone to call me to discuss Hugh.

Thank you for all your effort on our behalf. You certainly did far more for us than we normally expect from an agent, and I believe you got the best possible outcome for us. I would certainly recommend you to anyone wanting to buy or sell property in Kerikeri. You gave us good advice, and made a potentially stressful operation as easy as you could.

In December 2016 my husband and I engaged the services of Hugh Fenwick from Barfoot and Thompson real estate to sell our rural property on Lodore Road, Okaihau. The sale went through in April and finally closed on 31st May 2017. We were very happy with the way that Hugh carried out all his duties and promoted our property in every possible way, giving us great advice, following up on every suggestion from us and generally supporting us through what could have been a stressful time. At all times he communicated fully with us and prospective buyers in a professional but friendly way and kept us informed of every development along the way. He
was diligent and resourceful, punctual and dependable. He was always available to answer our questions in an honest open manner and we consider him to be very trustworthy. If we ever need a real estate agent again in the future we would not hesitate to employ him again and we highly recommend him to anyone else.
