About Nicola McPherson

I strongly believe selling property is much more than putting up a For Sale sign and creating an online listing. It's a time of significant change in the industry at present. With strong marketing techniques and strategies, I utilise modern technology and my design skills to best market my lifestyle listings. Lifestyle property is a specialist area of real estate and requires specific expertise. I landed in this specialty area after years of working in a successful, lifestyle real estate sales team. I’m in my comfort zone in the country. With my farming and equestrian background, the rural/lifestyle sector is a perfect match for me.

I have a genuine interest in people and their lives. While completing a Bachelor of Graphic Design, I spent a number of years in the hospitality and retail sectors. I think it was here where I learned to relate to people from different backgrounds. My customer service skills combined with my creativity is what sets me apart. With nine years in the industry and six years' sales in the Franklin and North Waikato areas, my market knowledge is strong and I have a real passion for helping clients take the next step on their property journey.

Now residing in Pukorokoro/Miranda, I am a local Franklin resident. It’s the perfect place to raise my young family. I enjoy snowboarding in the winter and I also love getting back to basics with camping, fishing and spending days the beach.

My goal has always been simple... to complete transactions in an open, positive, stress-free manner resulting in successful sales results and lasting relationships with my clients.

What my clients say

The best girls for a sale. Nothing was too much trouble; both Nicola and Rachael worked very hard. 11 out of 10 – it doesn’t get better than that. Thank you, girls.

John Etherington

We had a fantastic experience selling our house with Nic. She is incredibly knowledgeable and guided us through every step. Nic was always available to answer our questions, making us feel confident and supported. Thanks for everything Nic. Highly recommend!

Aylene & Marcus Brears

Nic was lovely to have as our real estate agent. Very approachable and knows her stuff! Getting in touch with any relevant information, only when necessary with any developments and news on the market. Thank you Nic.

Alison & Paul Green

Right from the moment we met Nicola we knew she would be the agent for us. She is kind, personable and professional. Nicola has outstanding market knowledge and connections and is always striving for the best for her vendors. Her results speak for themselves. We listed our property after finding our dream home and had a short window to make the dream a reality. Nicola made sure she did everything in her power to get us sold and across the line with our new dream home! We highly recommend Nicola.

Adam & Abby Banks

Nicola is on the ball with her market knowledge and communication skills. We enjoyed her enthusiasm and willingness to assist us any way she could and we look forward to continuing our sales journey with her :)

Bruce & Lynda Williams

Nicola is awesome, She is open, polite and engaged throughout the whole process. Made it very easy for those not familiar with the process. I will easily recommend her to anyone looking into the market to sell/buy.

Timani Samau

Above and Beyond with Unlimited Patience! - We chose Nicola as our salesperson due to her extensive experience with selling properties similar to ours. What truly sealed the deal, however, was her infectious enthusiasm and friendly demeanour.

This was likely the longest property listing on Nicola’s books in history, due to us having to complete works required before closing the deal with our buyers. Throughout this extended process, Nicola went above and beyond to support us. She connected us with architects, builders and council representatives, making the entire experience much smoother. Her dedication was evident as she was always available to us and answered our questions, often at 9pm! We wholeheartedly recommend Nicola; you won’t be disappointed!

As a final touch, she gifted us with a thoughtful and personal gift upon the sale of our property. It’s these little details that make her stand out.

P & K Parsons

Nicola & Rachel were the dream team. From start to finish of the sale process they were on top of everything and got the sale we needed, when we needed it. We were working to a tight timeframe due to our next steps and they made it happen for us. We are so grateful and have already been recommending them to friends and family!

Chloe & Andrew Munro

Nicola was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Never pushy, very knowledgeable about the current real estate market and our property, engaging, diplomatic, honest and a great communicator. Will not hesitate to not only deal with Nicola again but would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a salesperson.

Heather Warren

We recently purchased a property that Nicola was marketing. We found Nicola to be down-to-earth, friendly, responsive and honest in her dealings with us.

Rebecca Strang

Nicola was excellent throughout the whole buying process. She went above and beyond to help us buy our dream property. We felt she was professional and thoughtful from start to finish. We have recommended her to other friends and family as her local knowledge is outstanding. We have so much confidence in her that she is now selling our property for us.

Chloe Munro

Nicola was so helpful throughout this entire process. She put us at ease with her wealth of knowledge. She suggested we go to Auction and we're so glad we did. House sold after being on the market for 22 days. Her communication throughout the whole process was great, she kept me informed and up to date every step of the way. I would highly recommend Nicola to any vendor wanting to sell their property.

Ashlee Clark

I would recommend anyone selling their property to use Nicola. She knows the market well, she made the sale of the house stressless, all round outstanding.

Dave Kouwenhoven

Nicola had good communication and enthusiasm to sell.

Ian Collins

Nicola was very helpful throughout the entire process. She had great experience in dealing with rural properties, and she was also very professional in her approach. Nicola helped us secure the lifestyle property that we wanted. Thank you!

Shaneel Naidu

I had a great experience dealing with Nicola when buying my new house. Not knowing exactly what I was doing, Nicola took the time to explain everything step by step and in plain English so even I could understand. Myself not being very tech savvy probably made things harder for Nicola but she went out of her way to help me through the process and always with a smile on her face. I would highly recommend Nicola for a stress-free experience when buying or selling your house. Thank you Nicola

Mark Alexander

Nicola was absolutely fantastic going well and truly above and beyond in helping get the property onto the market and finding a buyer. Nicola also helped source tradespeople for a mini reno as part of this and liaised with council where needed. She took a complicated sale and made it a lot easier. Nicola was always friendly and professional but most of all understanding and a genuine human-being helping deal with my unique situation. I've sold houses before and one or two others have been great (both worked for Barfoot & Thompson) but Nicola has outshone them.
Genuinely can't sing her praises high enough.

Tom Kiddle

Excellent market knowledge,very professional and very patient.
Working with Nicola was an enjoyable experience. Selling my place proved to be a marathon rather than a sprint but she was patient, positive, good humoured and communicated well throughout the whole process. Nicola proved to be adept at negotiating on my behalf with the many and varied prospective buyers. I would highly recommend her to anyone in the Pokeno area considering selling their place.

Murray Wratt

Nicola was very helpful in communicating between both the parties. She constantly would check in with us which made us feel heard and was quick to answer any questions we had. When she didn’t herself know the answer, she was very fast to find it for us. As we were very new to the housing market and how it worked it was made easy for us with Nicola. We appreciate all she has done for us in buying this home.

Carl & Scarlett

We used Nicola to sell our property in Mangatangi and found her to be very professional and dedicated to doing the best she could for us. I wouldn't hesitate to use her again in the future.

Tracey & Paul

Nic and Mel sold two properties for us within a four-week marketing period. Communication, updates and help whenever we needed it was excellent. Thanks again guys!

Rochelle Amstrong

We met Nicola about five years ago when selling our property and she has become our go-to real estate salesperson for selling properties and for advice on different properties to buy. Her enthusiasm is very infectious and her commitment to get the best deal for "you" is outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble for her and she was always available when we needed her. She proved to us that she goes above and beyond for her clients. In our opinion she is the best !!!

Chris & Aileen

Nicola is amazing!! She is a great communicator, keeping you informed every step of the way. She is completely unflappable no matter what is thrown at her. She works hard for the best possible outcome, remains positive and determined even when as a vendor, you get stressed. Nicola is easy to talk to and really listens. She has a great rapport with people and really goes the extra mile. We can't recommend her highly enough!

Michelle & Ben McMurtury

Nicola always went above-and-beyond to get us into our forever home!

Nicolas' knowledge and drive to help us find and purchase our forever home was exceptional! Nothing was too big or small for her. We cannot thank you enough Nic we are beyond happy!! Thank you.

Emma & Blake Steen

Nicola was amazing, and helped work through each step of selling our home. Nicola is a bubbly, friendly and honest salesperson who gained my trust from first time meeting. Nicola is great at communication and has a passion for selling homes. Since selling, Nicola has also supported me in my search for a new purchase. Cannot fault Nicola.

Tessa Dooley

My husband and I have no hesitation in recommending the lovely Nicola, to anyone considering selling their home. We brought in three salespeople and chose Nicola to sell our home. Nicola won us over with her open and honest approach and her lovely warm friendly manner. We also liked that her background was in graphic design. We felt prospective buyers would feel comfortable in her presence. Good communication. Throughout the process she kept us informed. So happy to have had Nicola as our salesperson. A true ambassador for Barfoot &Thompson.

Linda & Andy

Super selling Duo - Antony and Nicola
Antony and Nicola were a fabulous team to work with. Both were very professional and had a great sense of humour which made the first time process of selling at auction a breeze. Exceeded our expectations so would highly recommend to anyone selling their property.

Liz Hickson

"We were very happy with Nicola’s effort in selling our property. We found her very professional. She has great communication and was very loyal to us as her clients. We highly recommend Nicola to anyone selling property, you won’t be disappointed."

Sarah Chitty

"On Nicola's recommendation, based on her knowledge and skills, she changed my mind on how this property should be sold. It proved to be a great success bettering expectations and I would have no hesitation to use her again should the opportunity arise."

Nigel Cartwright

"I have no hesitation in recommending Nicola and Lauren to anyone who’s thinking of selling a property. I immediately liked their can do attitude and found them both helpful, informative, inspiring and professional. Lauren was patient and always on the ball! Nicola was great at finding and organising the best people to finish all the last minute jobs.These ladies have got town and country knowledge and are a great team who delivered everything they promised and more. I was nervous on auction day but much to my relief it was a successful sale and a great result! Nicola and Lauren were great throughout the whole process and I wouldn’t consider using any other salespeople. They are the simply the best!"

Clare Huxtable

"After interviewing several salespeople, we decided to list with Anthony and Nicola from Barfoot & Thompson. They worked well together and complemented each other well. They delivered feedback in a timely manner and were knowledgeable about the rural/lifestyle market. I'm glad to say the sale price exceeded our expectations. Thanks again."

S Anderson

"We recently listed our family home with Nicola. She was professional, knowledgeable and communicated with us well, always answering our questions and giving honest feedback on the open homes. The photos taken of our home were amazing. Thank you for all your time and effort you put into marketing and selling our beautiful home."

L & K Kersten

Thank you Nicola for making the sale of our house quick and easy especially with the circumstances. Your input for the presentation was appreciated and I’m sure made all the difference. Hope we can do it again in the future.  

A Chaffe

We recently sold our family home, it was a huge change for us and Nicola made the process so easy reassuring us the whole way. She was continually keeping us up to date with prospective buyers as well as current trends that may effect our sale. It was a pleasure to work with Nicola who answered all our questions and we always felt she was going the extra mile for us. We would wholeheartedly recommend Nicola to work with for buying or selling your family home.

B & M Steenson

We would definitely recommend Nicola and Stephanie from Barfoot & Thompson. It was a pleasure to work with them during the sale of our property. No question was left unanswered and they responded promptly to any queries we had. They worked very hard on our behalf to get us a satisfactory result. We believe that without their dedication and commitment, this result may not have been achieved.

Wayne and Sorrell Beatty

"Nicola made the process of selling the home so easy. The photos of the property were amazing, the open homes ran smoothly and with her experience and knowledge of the local rural property market we sold within seven days of being on the market." Thanks for everything ��
Cheers

Selling rural property takes a person with a certain knowledge on how the intricacies work. We were fortunate enough to find Nicola, on a whim, when we looked at another property she was selling. She has the background growing up locally, on how a property like ours worked, from water pumps to stockyards. Nicola is quick to come back with information we request and is always willing to go above and beyond her role to help sell our property and all while she was heavily pregnant! We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her to anyone wanting to buy or sell. She is friendly, approachable, efficient, highly knowledgeable and tells you the facts without the spin. Thank you Nicola, for helping to both sell our beloved home and also purchase the dream land we wanted.

Nancy and Wayne

On this occasion, we were those annoying buyers that turned up to an open home just as you are pulling down the open home signs. Nicola was more than obliging to re-open the home for us to view. Needless to say we fell in love with the property and knew that we were in good hands with Nicola straight away. From that moment, she blew us away sharing knowledge of the property, rural lifestyle and the area. There was no question that went unanswered. We were new to rural life so all this information has been invaluable. Through the long negotiation stage, Nicola was prompt with her delivery and we never once doubted that she would make the property our new family home. From replying to late night texts and obtaining evidence of council consents, Nicola went well above her duty as an agent. Her bubbly, and approachable personality made us feel at ease throughout the settlement process. If we were ever to sell this property, we would list with her, no questions asked.

H & W Austin

We listed with Nicola McPherson as she was the key contact during our last sale with Barfoot & Thompson. The sale process only took a few days due to another agent having an interested client. The sale was seamless and concluded in a very short time with us being kept well informed throughout the process. Painless and efficient.

P Robinson

The Agents we had who looked after us were absolutely fantastic. Scott and Nicola always went above and beyond to make the process easy for us. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Scott and Nicola for the wonderful job they did. Scott and the team we can't thank you enough. It was under 3 weeks that our beautiful home was sold. Scott really delivered on everything he said he would do! What an amazing job and I would be recommending Scott and his team to anyone looking for a superb Real Estate Agent. Thank you once again from my family and I. Look forward to doing more buying and selling in the future.

Ash & Mo - March 2018

Thanks for the way you were so helpful to us, even though we didn't buy through you in the end. I guess it's not just a money thing for you, it's also about the people, and it shows. I expect you will do very well in the RE business.

M & K Thompson

We recently listed and then subsequently sold, at auction, our rural residential property in Franklin. We met Nicola during this process as she is an assistant to the agent with whom we listed our property. Nicola managed most of the open homes during our marketing campaign and provided us with feedback and updates following each open home. We found her to be highly professional, completely engaged in the process, easy to talk to and she seemed able to develop good rapport with the visitors that viewed our property. We both found her feedback to be useful, informative and valuable in keeping us abreast of developments. From this feedback we could accurately determine the levels of interest in our property and we gained a real sense of progress and of any developments during the sales process. We both believe it was the relationship that she developed with the eventual purchaser that enabled us to achieve a very satisfactory negotiated settlement on the auction date. Such was our confidence in her that following the sale of our property we have chosen to engage her again in the listing of a further property we are currently marketing for sale.

P & C Robertson

On meeting Nicola for the first time we found her to be very friendly, most helpful and with her bubbly personality, she made us feel comfortable and at ease in asking her questions about the property.
Nicola has always been prompt in response to messages via email or phone calls, finding out necessary information from the vendors that we needed regarding the property.
We received a beautiful bunch of flowers from Nicola a couple of days after we were successful with the auction which was very much appreciated. She has continued to correspond and liaise between us and the vendors and genuinely has shown interest in the progress of the sale of our place and the situation in which the vendors are in, which is looking for another place to rent until they move into their completed home.
I'm sure she would be an asset to home sellers as she is to us as buyers. We are thankful and appreciative of her support.

M & P Corbett

Nicola has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. Very honest, helpful and caring. She helped us buy our now home that we immediately fell in love with at an open home, held by Nicola. Thanks to Nicola everything went extremely smoothly and stress free.
Thanks so much,

Sharon and Greg

Sincerely appreciate everything you have done Nicola, through our whole journey, you've been energetic, welcoming, helpful and open since we first met you - even recently whilst on leave!! We'd recommend you to anyone going forward and Scott is very very lucky to have you.
