It was a few years ago now that I joined Barfoot & Thompson Whangarei as a Property Portfolio Manager. I love the diversity of the role, and over time, I have built up a great rapport with both my landlords and tenants.

Prior to property management, I worked in commercial administration. This prepared me for my current role in rentals, an area of business in which I’ve always had an interest.

I also set up and ran a successful building and renovation business, and in a funny sort of way, this too was excellent preparation for my move into property management. I was responsible for everything business-related from quoting to payroll, to health and safety and more.

I am well-organised and highly-motivated to achieve the very best outcome for my landlords and tenants. If you have a property you want managed or are looking for tenants, please do not hesitate to contact me. You can be assured that your property is in safe hands.

What my clients say

"I have to say you have made this whole process seamless and painless. It has been a true pleasure dealing with you. I requested a viewing, you replied straight away, and not just with an automated email, but with a phone call - which was appreciated. I lodged an application, you recalled it and mentioned it at the viewing - again it was appreciated. Throughout the entire process, you have been prompt, thorough and professional. Your communication has been second-to-none, you didn't just leave it to the system to automate all of the steps, you followed through with a personal email and phone calls. Sincerely, thank you so much for everything, you are appreciated. Please pass on my appreciation to the owner and your management team.

If only you managed all of Whangarei's rentals ☺️"

We have the pleasure of Mel being our property manager. She has been with us for a number of years looking after our property portfolio. We find Mel to be easy-going, friendly and helpful with great communication skills. An awesome lady to deal with. Can thoroughly recommend her.

Our property has been managed by Barfoot & Thompson Whangarei for over two years now. Barfoot & Thompson have always been great at finding us suitable tenants. We have always been involved in the tenant selection process. They have made our lives easy by organising all the maintenance and making sure our property is up-to-date with all the recent changes in tenancy laws. Inspections have always been performed to a high standard to ensure our property is being well looked after. 

Their communication is great. We are always kept updated with any matters that arise. The rent has alway been paid on time. The team at Barfoot & Thompson have always been very professional and friendly. I would highly recommend them to manage your rental property.
