People often ask, “Why would I choose Barfoot & Thompson Torbay?” As Branch Manager, my answer is simple: it’s about understanding. Understanding your story, your goals, and the vision you have for your future. This approach is the foundation of everything we do at our branch.

I firmly believe that with the right leadership, a positive mindset, empathy, and innovative strategies, we can help achieve exceptional outcomes for our clients. My years of experience as a top-performing salesperson on the North Shore taught me the value of these qualities, and I ensure my team upholds the same standards.

I moved to the Bays in 1987, and my roots in this community run deep. From playing rugby and cricket at the East Coast Bays clubs to running my own business for 22 years, I’ve gained a strong understanding of the local area and its people. My business background has also equipped me with valuable skills in finance, customer service and management, which I now apply to leading my team.

My journey into real estate was fuelled by my love for property and a passion for creating spaces where people can see their future unfold. While I no longer sell directly, my focus now is to empower and guide my team to do what we do best - helping people buy and sell their homes with confidence and as little stress as possible.

I’m also dedicated to giving back, particularly through my continued involvement with the charity 'First Steps Himalayas,' a cause that is close to my heart. In honour of my son Robbie, I’m committed to supporting initiatives that make a difference, both here at home and abroad.

At Barfoot & Thompson, we believe in more than just selling properties. As our Managing Director Peter Thompson has said, “We’re in the people business.” With over 100 years of family-owned history, Barfoot & Thompson continues to lead in Auckland’s real estate market, selling two out of every five listed homes. Those odds reflect the trust we’ve built with our clients and the community.

Family, community, understanding and innovation are at the heart of everything we do. If those values resonate with you, I’d love to welcome you to our branch to discuss how we can support your next real estate journey.
