About Steve Dougherty

I was so thrilled to hear that Barfoot & Thompson were expanding their offices to Tauranga and I am very excited to be joining their Property Management team.

Although born in Auckland, I have spent most of my life here in Tauranga. Over the past decades, I have witnessed astonishing development and growth.

I may be new to Barfoot & Thompson Tauranga, however I’m not new to real estate. I operated a successful property maintenance business and I gained extensive experience within this sector as a Commercial Property Manager, in charge of a large portfolio of commercial and industrial properties with over 300 tenants. I also sold residential real estate here in Tauranga for seven years. Before this, I was fortunate to gain international experience working on a large property development in Shandong Province, China. I was also on the Committee of the Tauranga branch of the New Zealand Property Council.

Having the strength of such a strong brand behind me gives me the confidence to do my job as Property Manager effectively. It will also give my clients the reassurance that their property has the backing of one of New Zealand's most trusted real estate firms.

Outside of work, I have two teenage children who constantly keep me grounded.

What my clients say

I am writing to express my appreciation for your outstanding professionalism and dedication as my Property Manager. Under very challenging circumstances, you have consistently gone above and beyond what was required, and your efforts are much appreciated.

Since you assumed the role of Property Manager last October for my Mt Maunganui unit, you have demonstrated an unwavering commitment to ensure the utmost satisfaction of both the tenant and myself as the owner. Your ability to handle challenging situations is commendable. Whether it was addressing maintenance issues, resolving disputes, or overseeing routine inspections such as ensuring the Healthy Homes obligations were met, you have consistently exhibited a level of professionalism that is hard to find.

Your communication skills have been instrumental in fostering a harmonious relationship between a tenant and myself as property owner. You were readily available to address any concerns or queries, promptly responding to emails and phone calls with utmost care and attention. Your approachable nature and willingness to listen have fostered good communication between the tenant and myself.

Although I have now sold the property and live in Australia, I have no hesitation in recommending you and indeed Barfoot & Thompson to any prospective investors looking for competent, efficient and honest management.
