It took us almost three months to find the right home and during that time, we worked with several agents. However, Ryan and Julia really stood out to us. Both were incredibly helpful, attentive and supportive. Also, they both took the time to get to know us.

We first met Julia at Panzic Place. She was approachable and offered excellent advice for first-time buyers. Then we met Ryan at Ambler Avenue. His great sense of humour, prompt responses and flexibility in meeting us both at the office and the property made the whole experience enjoyable and easy.

We are truly grateful to Ryan and Julia for helping us connect with the vendors and making the entire process of buying our first home as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Thank you again Ryan and Julia! Wishing you all a happy 2025! 😄

We couldn’t have found a better combination of Julia and Ryan to sell our nice little house for us so quickly - surely a record! Julia is so warm and caring and Ryan has a lovely infectious and enthusiastic personality. We knew we were in good hands from the moment we sat down with them in the Barfoot & Thompson office.

We can’t thank them enough for making our selling experience a complete joy - and I know the buyers would have felt the same. Thank you so much and best wishes to you both.

Selling our home with Julia and Ryan was one of the best decisions we made. From day one, Julia and Ryan provided a clear strategy and a professional marketing plan that brought in serious buyers. They kept us informed at every stage and got us an incredible result. Their dedication, knowledge, and professionalism made all the difference. We highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell!"

Liam and I just wanted to reach out and let you know that we were so impressed with your help and professionalism that helped us into our home. You both were polite, warm and knowledgeable regarding the property. You answered any questions we had and kept us updated on any information.

On the day of the Auction you met us at the door and put our nerves at ease and explained the auction process. We were lucky enough to be the new owners and are so excited to finally be in our own home.

Thank you for making this happen. We will totally refer you to anyone of our family or friends.

Just want to let you know how impressed we have been with Julia's utmost commitment to getting our house SOLD at auction this week.

We were kept up to date with every part of the process, Julia always gave us prompt feedback after viewings, and her bubbly personality kept us feeling positive throughout the three[-week campaign.

If it had not been for Julia spending two hours the evening before auction with the very nervous 'first time auction buyers', explaining the whole process and advising she'd be by their side throughout the process, we know that we'd not have a SOLD sticker on our property. Of course we advised her to 'stick with them' as we knew we had lots of Barfoot & Thompson support around us in the auction room.

Times are tough right now, but Julia's unfaltering positivity and tenacity got us all a fantastic result. You're very fortunate to have her on your Glen Eden Team.

When we decided to sell our first home, it was a really scary and unknown feeling. Ryan and Julia very quickly set our worries and nerves at ease, making sure we understood each aspect of the campaign, being in close contact for any queries and being really supportive to us the whole way through the process.

Thanks to Julia and Ryan's amazing skillset, we achieved an amazing result and we are extremely grateful for their help with our home.

Ryan and Julia were awesome to deal with from our initial contact and throughout the whole journey with selling our house. They offered good clear advice on what was required to get our house ready to sell, valuable information about staging and their wealth of knowledge about the local market was immeasurable. Ryan and Julia work well as a team, they were always professional and kept us informed about potential buyers and feedback from open homes. I have already recommended them to two other sellers.

Thank you both for everything.

"Ryan and Julia recently, and quite successfully, marketed, presented, and sold my property. Throughout the entire process, they combined to plan appropriate sale methods, make recommendations, and coordinate and present the sale with professional and personalised service. The sale outcome result was one that exceeded my expectations. And they followed up with assisting in my search for my next home. Truly well done by Ryan and Julia and highly recommended."

I am the current owner of a property on Milan Drive, Glen Eden and I would like this opportunity to share with you my experience with Julia. It became clear from my initial meeting with Julia that she is highly experienced, a true professional and has boundless energy and enthusiasm for her profession. She provided me with a wealth of very useful advice during the property renovation stage and despite the time difference here in the UK was always happy to communicate even late into the evening. Not being in the country meant that I should have been heavily reliant on my few friends still in Auckland. Thanks to Julia, I hardly had to call in any favours as she was able to support just about all the issues and queries that came my way. That included communication with my surveyor, council and organising contractors where needed. So I would really appreciate it if you would pass on my thanks to Julia for her generosity, her support and allowing me to feel comfortable in the knowledge that despite the distance, my house was and continues to be in safe hands.

We recently bought a home in Glen Eden from Julia Barnett. As a buyer, we came across many salespeople but none were as professional and meticulous as Julia. From the first day to the last, she was an amazing person. She followed through with us as well as the vendors, to make the purchase a very good experience.

We engaged Julia Barnett and Mary Shaw of Barfoot & Thompson to sell our home of many years. They worked together as a team, consulting us at every step throughout the whole selling process. Mary and Julia were able to achieve a good sale in an uncertain market.

We are very happy to recommend their services to anybody else planning to sell.

"I could not have chosen a finer salesperson than Julia for the task ahead, always there, always chipper, always punctual, always ready to inform of all things. She is definitely an asset to Barfoot & Thompson.

Thank you Julia"

"Julia Barnett is an awesome real estate salesperson. She is hardworking and dedicated and she goes that extra mile to ensure that all parties are happy and well cared for. Her knowledge of the industry is extensive which makes you feel safe knowing that she is working on your behalf when either selling or buying a property. We would highly recommend her to market your property. Her kindness, friendliness and humour have been appreciated during the recent sale of my dad's property in Glen Eden - we found her to be genuine and honest. We were always kept up to date with everything to do with the sale of the property. We were very happy to have her as our salesperson - thank you Julia."

'We are so glad to have chosen Julia Barnett and Ryan Littler to help sell our home. A very special team. It wasn’t just their expertise but their family values, respect and their genuine encouragement when guiding us through what seemed complex as the first time selling our home. This team made the process more productive, enjoyable and easier. Definitely on top of our list for any of our families' next purchase or sell.'

"Julia and Ryan had such an amazing aura about them, we felt so comfortable, reassured and very at ease with them. They continuously kept us in high spirits as they worked extremely hard during the process of marketing and successfully selling our property.

You get the whole package with Julia and Ryan: professionalism, knowledge, commitment, charisma, confidence, honesty. They are trustworthy and possess a great sense of humour that we shared to get us through this time which we consider a major bonus and definitely top of our list for recommendation.

What an inspiration you both are, thank you so much for everything."

'With Julia’s knowledge and experience and Ryan’s ability to actively listen and communicate clearly I had the perfect team for marketing my property. I would recommend them to anyone considering buying or selling in the area.' 

Julia and Ryan have now sold two properties and helped us to purchase two more. We have all ways been impressed with their honesty professionalism and knowledge of the property market and their ability to get the best price. We sincerely thank them for their help and would have no hesitation using them again and also advising other people to use their services.

"Julia did a lot of hard work to get the best possible value for us. Her attitude, patience and sense for selling is extraordinary, I can say a perfect salesperson."

The listing agents we used were second to none - they were brilliant. We engaged Julia and Ryan to market a property for an elderly relative. From when we first met them we felt confident they were the people we wanted to work for us. They were always professional in a relaxed and friendly way. They went over and above what was expected and offered to let tradesmen into the property when we were unable to. We would definitely use Julia and Ryan again if we had the need, and would highly recommend them to others who want to buy or sell a property.

I am pleased to say again a HUGE thank you to Julia and Ryan with marketing and selling our house. We had used them in the past with great success and it was an easy decision to use them again. Julia is incredibly knowledgeable and is always available to answer any question. The support the Glen Eden office provides is also fantastic.

"Julia and Ryan were brilliant - so ethical, so friendly, so helpful and so patient. They negotiated an excellent price for me. I would recommend this team in particular and Barfoot & Thompson in general to everyone wishing to sell their home."

"Just wanted to say thanks to Julia and Ryan for being such a great real estate agent. We were hesitant that there were any good ones left but we hit the jack pot. They make a fantastic team and were always on hand. We were lucky to have them both sell our property and find us a new one which was a tough ask to find the house we were wanting with the budget we had and yet they managed to stick with us after multiple open homes and auctions to find it. When selling our house, they kept us in the loop over everything and were very honest with feedback and also changes in the market which kept us knowledgeable and able to make an informed decision once an offer was presented. Thanks again from a very happy family, now living in a fantastic family home".

Ryan and Juilia made the process of selling our first home a breeze. From the initial property appraisal to Auction day, they were always available to give advice and they gave us plenty of tips to make our house more appealing to the market. The feedback at every stage of the process was excellent and we couldn't have been more pleased to have a pre-auction offer for the house within a week of the listing going live. They were with us throughout the Auction and explained what was happening as we hadn't been through one before. We were very happy with the outcome of the Auction and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ryan and Julia to anyone wanting to sell their property.

Ryan, Julia & Jonathan made a fabulous team and we really could not fault their service. We achieved a fabulous sale in great time that exceeded our expectations. Thanks once again team!

Selling a house is a stressful experience, but Ryan and Julia made the experience so much easier. We would choose them again in a heartbeat. It was really nice to have someone local selling our property. Not only were they super professional, it felt like they could have been neighbours we would get along well with. Ryan and Julia worked very effectively as a tag team - answering our questions and providing information and support through the whole process. Thank you so much.

"We would highly recommend Julia Barnett to any prospective house sale client. Her friendliness, encouragement and support, generosity of time, professionalism, knowledge of the market, and her positive attitude generally were beyond our expectations and we thoroughly enjoyed her, and her family's input in to our very successful sale."

"We found Julia to have been amazing and efficient to deal with. She and Jonathon went the extra mile to make everything happen."

"I found the professionalism, courtesy and most importantly the results of working with Julia and Jonathon exceptional. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them to any prospective vendor. I am so impressed I found the sale procedure stress free, even fun."

"Julia was fantastic, I live in South Africa and there is an 11 hour delay, she ran with everything herself keep me well informed and even phoned at times that where well beyond her working hours. Her friendly, positive and enthusiastic nature made selling my house a breeze. I could not have asked for anything more from her she was a real star."

"Julia works very hard for her clients. She is very trustworthy and her enthusiasm really shows - she enjoys her job and does very well at it. Negotiating between two parties to come to an agreement she does very well. She and Jonathan work very well together providing a very cohesive team. I would definitely recommend her to anyone in her local area as she provides a very well thought-out campaign and her follow-up with potential buyers is very good, much better than any agent I have come across in the past."

"Julia is a motivated and hard working agent, she gets excellent results, communication is fantastic and we would sell or buy with her again."

"Our experience with Julia has been exceptional. Julia knows the market, communicates very well, both with the purchaser as well as with us. Julia's guidance and advice with the property was invaluable. Julia explains the process and the paper work in detail. Julia attends to any issues promptly. follows up and is always willing to assist in solving them. She is positive, very patient and has an enthusiastic bubbly personality that really helps when it all seems too hard. Julia doesn't over promise. She is trustworthy. Julia puts 120
into her work. We will recommend her to any friends family or colleagues. We really enjoyed working with her and wish her all success with her career."

"Julia was fabulous, engaged, committed and a joy to work with and I would recommend her anytime."

"I was very impressed with the professional way in which Julia handled the sale of my mother's property. She was very understanding of my mother's health issues and needs and spoke with her respectfully and slowly as to be sure she fully understood everything. Also she was very good at explaining all aspects of our potential sale in clear, easy-to-understand wording. I would have no hesitation in recommending Julia to any other persons wanting to sell their property."

"Julia presented well and demonstrated her genuine enthusuasm for Glen Eden and for the property itself. She is a nice person and treated us with respect and dignity. She promoted our house well and achieved a higher price than we expected or even hoped for! I would absolutely recommend Julia."

"We were most impressed with the service you gave to us. We found your communication skills very high and your actions very professional. It was a pleasure having you as our agent and I would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone who wished to sell their property."

"Julia is very professional, very helpful and always available to answer any questions. With years of experience she is by far the best and most friendly estate agent I have ever dealt with."

"Julia is very friendly, professional and efficient. She gave us a broad list of options regarding the marketing and advertisement to choose from and the home was sold within a week. We we will use her services in the future without a doubt."
