#1 Salesperson, Manukau Branch, to end March 2021

Industry knowledge, hard work and a client-focussed approach has seen me achieve some truly great results over the course of my career. In fact for the last three years running (2021, 2022, 2023) I have been awarded the top spot as ‘#1 Salesperson’ at Barfoot & Thompson’s Manukau branch, which is a wonderful accolade, and positive proof of my track record for success.

I come from a background in engineering, with extensive experience in electrical and mechanical building services. I ran my own contracting business for some time, specialising in the provision of residential and commercial building projects, and for several years was involved in various building, renovation and rental management projects including family buildings and homes. All of this laid the perfect foundation for my role in real estate.

I am seriously passionate about my profession, always looking to upskill, keeping abreast of the market, and treating every one of my clients with the utmost care and respect. I am by their side from start to finish, guiding with the right help and advice at the right time, in order to secure the best deal. I am also a perfectionist and spare no effort in completing tasks efficiently, reliably and correctly, no matter how challenging they might be. My clients describe me as a dependable, straight-up, very honest and trustworthy person – these are qualities that I hold dear.

I have been working for Barfoot & Thompson Manukau since 2009. I am also a local resident, so I know this region inside out. I love the diverse and colourful community here, and could not think of a better place to conduct business, and live my best life!

In my downtime, I am a music lover, a keen swimmer and I enjoy keeping fit by exercising regularly.

If you are thinking of selling or buying, I would be delighted to be your salesperson of choice. Please get in touch with me today, for an obligation-free chat or a complimentary property appraisal.

What my clients say

Excellent Service - Goodness what a journey, our sale wasn’t the easiest! We had lots of challenges to get over the line, however Will did an amazing job and with positive energy. Will always calls a spade a spade and never leave anything to chance. He keeps going until the deal is done.

Caroline Adam - Seller

Our father first met Will 15 years ago, when we sold one of our properties.

Since then, and especially after our father’s passing, Will has always stayed in touch and has been tremendous help from providing quotes and trusted contacts for property renovations, to guiding us through council approvals and rental needs; he has consistently been our go-to person.

Will has also played a huge part in helping us search for the right home, showing great patience with our indecisiveness along the way. “We now understand why you’re recognised as #1and the top salesperson - you truly go above and beyond to say something.. . take care of your clients.

Neville & Premila - Buyer, 01 Dec 2024

Best Salesperson I have dealt with
Will did a wonderful job of selling my property. He was communicating with me constantly, updating me on important issues. He attended to a lot of technical issues and was very positive and knowledgeable. A gentleman at all times. Would highly recommend Will.

Lynette Ann Bellhouse - Seller, 30 Oct 2024

Successful Sale
We chose Will and Kamal as they already had a listing in The Gardens and we felt they had a good knowledge of the local market. The process started with excellent communication and Will and Kamal went the extra mile and drove down to our home in Matamata to explain their marketing strategy. Once we agreed on the strategy which involved multiple advertising platforms we were confident that we had chosen the right Salespeople/Real Estate Company to sell our house. Throughout the process we were impressed by the detailed daily feedback and weekly written reporting. Due to the excellent marketing we had a tremendous amount of traffic through the property. At all times we felt in control of the process with the ability to choose the buyers, deposits and settlement dates. We had a lively auction with five bidders and well exceeded our reserve. We would have no hesitation in recommending Will and Kamal for their friendliness, professionalism and attention to detail.

Adrienne Tobeck - Seller, 18 Oct 2024

High efficiency and warm heart
We recently sold our house with the help of our real estate salesperson, Will, and we couldn't be more pleased with his service. Will's efficiency was remarkable - he handled everything from detailed client options to contract details with speed and accuracy. He consistently responded to our needs promptly and offered professional advice on every question we had. What truly stood out was his warm approach, always considering our preferences and making the process enjoyable. Overall, we are very satisfied with Will's service and deeply appreciate his assistance. Highly recommended!

Vendor - Frances Street, Manurewa

First, I’d like to say how much I appreciate your dedication to real estate. My story began with talking to two real estate managers who I know from other Barfoot & Thompson branches, who both said, you need to contact Will at Manukau branch. He’s your guy.

While listening to you giving us options of listing, I thought this person is passionate about real estate and he proved me right.

Your correspondence via email, text and phone calls keeping us up to date on all aspects of our listing, giving us options available for marketing, staging and your opinion when we asked which was valuable as we weren’t familiar with the area. Not only were you helpful throughout the marketing but went beyond the call of duty after hours saving us many hours of travel.

An incredibly knowledgeable, passionate energetic positive straight to the point person. Over years of selling our homes in the past, Will, you are going to leave a lasting impression. I am truly grateful for your time and amazing effort.

I have recommended you to a friend who will be selling her property in Manukau next year.

Ever so appreciative. Many many kind regards

Cheryl Fox 🦊

Great experience
Will was informative, gave excellent advice and kept us up to date throughout the sales process. He did an excellent job of the marketing and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and his team.

Lance Fox - Seller, 14 Jun 2024

Will is extremely professional, diligent, conscientious, and a real pleasure to work with. From the beginning, Will was able to share his knowledge of the current market conditions with respect to the outcomes of the sale of my property. He worked extremely hard to market the property before the auction. He was through with all the necessary paperwork, legalities and other aspects of the marketing procedure. Will consistently contacted me regarding every stage of the marketing and kept me up to date with everything that was going on. I was extremely pleased with the final result on the day. I wholeheartedly recommend Will and would work with him again in the future.

Dixie Faye Rawlinson - Seller

Great communication, hard work and knowledge of the market. Thanks Will, we gave you a property to sell that was tricky for a number of reasons and you got the outcome we were after. You understand the Manukau and apartment market well and worked hard to ensure we got the outcome we were after. You were just a pleasure to deal with. Thanks again.

Ben Jansen - Seller, 02 Apr 2024

Will was very knowledgeable about the marketing programme required for our property. His communication every step of the way was amazing. A very professional salesperson. Thank you, Will for the successful outcome.

Honest salesperson and very hardworking. Great communication at all times, as well as weekly progress updates on the sale. Will worked tirelessly with us to ensure the best outcome possible, regardless of market status. The depth of knowledge he brings to the whole process ensured us peace of mind and we happily followed his advice. Highly Recommend!

Hanan

This is the second time we have dealt with Will El-Haddawi of Barfoot & Thompson. He hasn’t ceased to impress us with his honesty, sincerity and friendly manner. His marketing strategies are excellent and his negotiating skills and wonderful attention to detail are meticulous.

He went far beyond the responsibilities of a real estate salesperson in catering to our business needs. He was able to explain clearly to us the intricacies of buying and selling real estate through the lucid presentation of data, statistics, council policies, government laws and economic factors impacting the current market.

It was both profitable and a pleasure to deal with Will Al-Haddawi!

Tiba Al-Hamdany

I worked with Will El-Haddawi to purchase our first home and I couldn't be happier. He was extremely knowledgeable about the local market and made the whole process feel effortless. He guided me through each step, making sure I understood everything. Because of him, I came back and purchased a second property. He made me love the property market and I am an investor because of him. He is trustworthy and honest. I can't thank him enough.

Omar Ibrahim

We would like to encourage home buyers and investors to deal with Will El- haddawi from Barfoot & Thompson Manukau for buying or selling properties. Will El- haddawi will take you through every step of the process and will go miles to provide you with the best service.

We are glad that we dealt with Will three times and each time the result was perfect. If you are looking for an expert property salesperson, we highly recommend Will El- Haddawi .

Thanks Will, we wish you all the best and many successes in the future.

FM & EH

We had full confidence in Will's knowledge of the current market and his frank opinion in what we might expect regarding interest in our property and the price we could expect at auction. He kept us well informed during the open homes, advised us of other enquiries and all aspects of what became a successful outcome.

His outstanding people skills, and patently obvious honesty, make it very easy to provide this very well-deserved, positive reference.

Tui Emma

My wife and I recently had the Barfoot & Thompson salesperson Will El-Haddawi, sell our apartment in the Renaissance building for us. We were both impressed and very pleased with his hard work and the results, that enabled us to move forward in our lives. We would highly recommend Will El-Haddawi to anyone thinking of selling, and sincerely wish him all the best in his future endeavours.

Alastair & Rodlyn Tagg

My family and I originally met Will at an open home. Unfortunately, we didn't get that house because of financial reasons but Will went over and beyond for our family to try and get another house we were after. He helped us seek someone to get a loan approved and then took us to three and four houses each weekend to find the perfect house for us. Once we chose a house, he then spent three weeks trying to market our place so we would get our house sold for the best possible price at auction. Will showed patience and also kindness towards our family. It was a hard process but we are so glad that the outcome for us was great. Even though we still haven't reached our settlement date, he still continues to help us in every possible way. My parents and family are grateful to Will and his help over the past months. We truly hope nothing but blessings for Will and his help for our family. Faafetai Lava Will (Thank you Will).

Filipo & Koreti

I would like to say a huge thanks to Will El-Haddawi for the great service you provided for us in order to sell our house. We are so very grateful and thankful for your help all the way. We highly recommend to people out there who are struggling to sell their property, to ask Will to help you. Will has been working with us always by updating us in how the market is and ensuring that viewers will enjoy viewing our house during our open home. Will El-Haddawi would go an extra mile to get the best price for us within this current selling market. We so much appreciate what you did for us.

Thanks again.

Seela Taiesea

We would like to express our huge thanks for all the help you gave us to purchase our apartment. You patiently dealt with all our concerns, were always available to answer questions, and quick to reply to emails and messages. You are such a great professional working to very high standard and absolutely trustworthy. You have made a frightening and stressful process so much easier to go through. We couldn't be happier to have met you. We would highly recommend you to anyone either selling or buying property. Thank you so very much once again,

Melissa Alley

Will, you have been incredibly great to work with. It's never easy selling a home, as it gets very emotional. Will was very understanding and caring throughout the whole process. Selling in today's market was not easy, but Will was upfront with the whole process and explained every step we needed to take. You were very patient with me and took all my calls. Thinking back, there was lots of minute stuff. Thanks so much Will. You are extremely professional and I would highly recommend you to family and friends. Your advice to me finally got the house sold. Yes, it can get emotional selling a home, but Will, you took all the stress from selling. I cannot thank you enough.

Tina Dickman - A very happy vendor

Thank you for your magnificent work and effort, selling my apartment at the Renaissance building in Manukau recently in 2022. It was barely on the market for a few months with interested parties. Yes, you were a fantastic referral from an associate of mine and I thank them for that.

Will, you are highly skilled in negotiating with the buyer to get both parties a fair deal, which was very impressive. Having never met you personally, it was a wonderful experience via phone communication with regular updates and a constant flow of your client list viewing my apartment. Your phone manner is exceptional, confident, and ever-assuring.

It was a pleasure working with you and I will be recommending you to any of my friends who wish to venture down the same track. I will also be contacting you again next year for my future purchase.

Annette Straker

Mr El-Haddawi is a consummate professional and truly dedicated to ensuring his clients are well informed and satisfied. I’ve known him for 10 years by both buying and selling properties in South Auckland. Each transaction was seamless and skillfully handled. Will kept me informed every step of the way, explained and guided each query with patience, clarity and expertise. I am most grateful to him for his exemplary service but also want to note his honesty, kind nature, and excellent character. I cannot recommend anyone more highly.

Hilary

“Will recently sold a property for us. The market changed almost the minute we listed, and Will patiently continued to work through the process with us and prospective buyers, despite the uncertainty of the market. He was always responsive to calls and emails, and followed up all our queries. Will explains things clearly, and offers clear information and advice, while still supporting us to make our own decisions. He managed the relationship with the purchaser very carefully, and enabled us to get a great outcome.”

Vicki

I recently sold a house with Will El-Haddawi and while this can be a very stressful process, I felt 110% confident by partnering with Will. He was candid, provided great feedback, explained all details clearly and managed the actual sale negotiation brilliantly. In addition, he was extremely responsive to every one of my questions, no matter how small. Will is very professional and did a very in-depth market analysis to help us determine a selling price. Will and his team marketed our house well and we were able to get an offer on our home after the first open home. I would highly recommend Will, and if you are looking to sell or buy a house, I would recommend Will as your first choice.

Lorene Earnshaw

Gratitude to Will El-Haddawi
Many thanks for your excellent professional service and the successful sale of our home. We especially appreciate the advice that you gave us on how to present our home, and the best marketing strategies. Through the entire process, your professional manner, honesty, reliability and the vast knowledge, provided us security and trust knowing that we chose the right salesperson.

All the best for the future and we are certainly recommending people to use you when they are looking to buy or sale their property.

Faris Mohammed & Esraa Hussin

A Hard Working Salesperson
Will is a great salesperson. He is genuine, hard working and is very helpful at speeding up and simplifying the sales process. He has great advice and is always keen on sharing it. It was a great pleasure selling our property with Will.

Kahtan & Sawsen

As the house sale has been completed, I just wanted to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude for your professionalism and dedication throughout this process. You have consistently gone the extra mile for us. Being overseas, I was expecting to face difficulties and challenges, however you made it a much easier experience for us. Thanks again to you, Cuong and to Barfoot &Thompson staff for this successful transaction.

Mohamad Simawy

Thanks to Will El-Haddawi and Cuong Nguyen, from Barfoot & Thompson. They made our experience for selling our house stress free and also helped us in making tough decisions and in setting the right price on the house through the auction recently. We knew Will as I had purchased my house in Auckland in 2010 through him and we met Cuong recently and both of them have guided me in last four weeks regarding the sale of my property. We were able maintain a good rapport and we found both of them to be very calm, professional and methodical. They have been good listeners and gave us the right advice throughout. They quickly found suitable buyers for our property through their marketing strategies including the photography and videoing and discussing in detail about different ways of selling our place. We were provided with updates every week and they got us involved in decision- making. We trusted them fully and we were lucky to have them as our salespeople. From the beginning and throughout the closing process, they were always on top of it, and were readily available when we had questions and they patiently and knowledgeably walked us through any questions we had. We appreciated their constant calmness, solid groundwork and dedication to get the job done from start to finish. We would like to thank them for their professionalism in handling the sale. We would highly recommend them to anyone who is purchasing an ideal home or selling a home. We wish them all the success.

Vasu & Chitra Pai, Auckland

We feel we were so lucky to have a person like you when purchasing our new home in Viola Ave, Mangere East, Auckland. Your advice on this purchase was excellent and paved the way for us to get all the details right.

We are so happy and thankful for your friendly attitude and excellent service. Thank you for the wonderful present too.

Maddu & Lusum - 24 December 2020

Will El-Haddawi recently sold a property of ours in East Mangere. This was a new venture for us and we have been impressed by Will’s professionalism, methodology, and explanations so we could understand how progress was being achieved. Will led us through the objectives of the four-week marketing campaign and kept us well-informed with market and buyer feedback. Ultimately we followed his advice and guidance and on auction day, as he had promised, there were multiple buyers bidding at the auction. The outcome was a huge success with the bidding and final selling price well exceeding our expectations. We have no hesitation recommending Will and Cuong at Barfoot & Thompson, to anyone with a property to sell and would like, again, to acknowledge their wonderful delivery.

Jayne & Graham

Good morning Will,

This email is to advise you how much we appreciate, love and are in so much awe of your amazing work efforts with your partner Cuong (King Kong), towards selling our beautiful home in Haddon Street, Mangere East.

You both were so professional, understanding towards my parents needs and wants, you listened and always kept us up-to-date about the progress of each open home. You made sure we knew about any visits outside open home hours and also cared about our safety and well being. You both knew it was my parents first time putting up their home for sale and on the market since living at this residence for 34 years. It wasn't easy going through all this process but you both made a way to make things easy for my parents to understand, feel comfortable with everything going on and they never had second thoughts.

The outcome of the auction was fast, easy, amazing and so emotional for all of my siblings, me, especially my parents because you both worked hard and never backed down once. We saw how hard, patient, loyal and trustworthy you both worked on getting the results we all wanted and you both succeeded 100% and we are forever grateful to you both.

We will definitely recommend you both to all our family, friends and even neighbours in a heartbeat, with no questions ask.

Will and Cuong, thank you so much. It was a pleasure to meet and work with you both. May God bless your work and your families.

Now we are on a new journey to look for a new home for my parents. Looking forward to finding that new home with you both.

Kindest regards

Karina, Vaosefa & Ainofo Lesa

Will and Cuong were so professional and helpful. They went out of their way to make sure I understood everything that I signed. They went the extra mile and travelled a long distance on more than one occasion. Have no qualms in recommending them both. All good wishes Will and Cuong.

Kind regards

Diane

We really appreciate your work. I just had casual discussions with you when you were door knocking, and now you have sold our rental property. We appreciate your prompt service, well done! Ka Pai! Looking forward to work with in future.
Kind regards

Nirmla and Manoj Kumar

I just want to say a massive thank you to Pipal and Will from Barfoot & Thompson for being so helpful and professional for buying my first home. I would highly recommend to anyone who needs a genuine advice and friendly service for buying & selling house.

Joohan

Will recently acted as agent for the sale of our apartment in Manukau. He was truly professional in all his dealings. His communication was exceptional, keeping us informed every step of the way. He negotiated on our behalf to obtain a good price, very close to our asking price. We would highly recommend Will to others who are looking for a top class estate agent.

Kevan and Helen

"From the outset of our interactions, Will has shown strikingly positive energy and professional approach to the case at hand. Needless to say, the case in question was to sell our family house. This was exactly that attitude that made me to pick him over the other agents. And then during the course of the marketing campaign, he relentlessly maintained that unique positive attitude, which was so contagious that even house viewers picked it up and ultimately got converted into the bidders at the auction. We felt comfortable about him being our representative throughout the whole experience of selling the house. As a result, he met our expectations by achieving the highest possible price in the current market."
Thanks for your help.

Alex - Vendor, Kirkbride Road

We have recently sold our apartment and had Will as our agent. He was absolutely amazing, and was able to secure a price for us that exceeded our expectations. The sale required extensive negotiations as well as some fairly creative thinking and Will was able to keep things running smoothly, and keep us informed every step of the way. I have already recommended him to my property investor colleagues. He did an excellent job!
Regards

Ellie

After signing Will as our property agent we felt comfortable with his positive attitude towards our expectations. His level of communication has been outstanding since the start. He worked tirelessly and went above and beyond our expectations to sell our property in a difficult market. He is well informed about the ever-changing property market and therefore made it easy for us to trust him to sell our family home. Thank you Will!!

Azeem & Arfa

It was a pleasure working in collaboration with Will. He is an organized, hard worker, conscientious and with a meticulous approach. I was quite lucky dealing with him as an agent. He made it very easy for me to understand the whole property sale process. As, it was something new for me. He was always responding to my e-mails and text messages and that made it easy regarding ongoing communications. With his effort and excellent follow up strategy; my unit was sold via the Auction at the best price. He would be deemed as a big value added to the business. I would highly recommend him to prospect vendors and buyers.

Rayan-Tarik Jalil

Will El-Haddawi is very honest, friendly and stays in touch with every word that has said about the house, I highly recommend other people to sell there house with Will El-Haddawi, he's a person that has everything you need when it comes to people and selling houses.

Jabbar Edan

Will El-Haddawi has recently sold our two properties in Mangere by Auction. From the get-go Will was professional, honest, efficient & contactable 24/7. Our marketing campaign ran smoothly and we were always kept well informed with market feedback etc, thanks to Will's strong communication skills. Come Auction day we were totally comfortable Will had delivered a successful marketing campaign & had buyers interested. We were thrilled when both our properties sold under the hammer on Auction Day with results exceeding our expectations.
Thank you Will (& Frank), we would not hesitate to recommend you to any of our friends or family in the future.

Wendy & Garry

I would like to thank Will from the bottom of my heart for the professional work he has done in the sale of my property. He just took over the load of worry from day 1 until the property was sold. Every time I saw or spoke to him, he always assured me not to worry that everything will be fine. I will recommend his services to anyone I know who is interested in buying or selling a property. I praise God for leading him to me. May God Bless the team at Barfoot and Thompson for all the excellent work you are all doing to help people.
Thank you Will. Have a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

Mataina Maoate

Will is a very professional real estate person that does his work to a very high standard. He is proactive in his dealings, keeps you up to date with open home feedbacks, or any other details that is required. He allowed other real estate agents excess to sell this property, therefor we had lots of people from other areas in Auckland who showed interest in our property as well. I could contact him at any time and he was available and if call missed he will call be straight back. He is very approachable and a very good attitude overall.
I would recommend him to anyone that needs to work with Will for any property dealing. I would also like to thank Frank for his hard work and exceptional professional attitude. Very well appreciated by my children too. To both Will and Frank, Good luck for the future and thank you so much for such an awesome marketing.

Sushil Murthi

On behalf of my small and young family I would like to commend this gentleman for his professionalism. We sold our property and were being literally forced in a corner by the salespeople who were helping us relocate into better house. The moment I spoke to this gentleman I knew he had the X-factor. As we did not want to relocate to South Auckland due to work commitments I was very hesitant to engage seriously. However this guy's professional attitude can change any person's mind. We found the best possible house we could and the price we paid was unbelievably lower than what we expected and we are just glad that he made us look at buying in South Auckland. A great guy with very transparent approach. Excellent salesperson!

Ramiz

Crikey! It is the best the news for us today! Thank You very much.
Guys, you have done a terrific job. Very professional. Every dealings were fast, satisfactory & transparent and that's exactly how we want it done. Very happy!
Many thanks.

Paul & Libby Jessop

"I have found Will and his team excellent at all levels of the sale of our property. He was informative, accurate and available at any time to assist or answer queries which as a result kept us relaxed and comfortable with what would normally be a very stressful process and recommend him to anyone thinking about selling their property."

Steve Huggard

"Will and Rowan made a great team, each bringing their respective strengths to the table to achieve a result for us that exceeded our expectations in every way. From first contact, through all our dealings we were impressed with their professionalism, knowledge and integrity. Attention to detail, an intelligent marketing campaign and great use of the Barfoot & Thompson organisation meant that our unique property got the attention it needed to achieve a good price. Will and Rowan are a pleasure to deal with and we would have no hesitation working with them again or recommending them to others. A job well done!"

Rob Benson

"On behalf of our family, we would like to express our many thanks for your hard work and commitment on marketing and selling our property in The Gardens. We were very impressed with your up front and honest approach, professionalism and keeping us informed of progress the whole way. The interest in the property was absolutely overwhelming, we couldn't believe the amount of genuine buyers that viewed the property, this was due to the full comprehensive marketing campaign that you had personally undertaken, and the staging presentation of the house made the property into a show home. What was truly amazing was the outcome of the sale of the property, the auction was a great success, with a genuine bidding war that resulted in a sale that was well above market value. In fact unsuccessful bidders of the property were blown away with the final selling price. We have absolutely no hesitations in recommending you to anyone who wishes to sell their property, and again we would like to say thank you very much for the wonderful service."

The Clark Family

"I would also like to take this opportunity to thank both Will and Rowan for their support, patience and determination in selling my house. It has been a lengthy process, a new experience for me, but made easier with transparent information to make sound decisions. Both Will and Rowan persevered with all my questions and delays, to ensure I was comfortable with my decisions, and ultimately my house was sold. The extra mile and care taken by Rowan to assist me with plumbing maintenance, as well as liaising with various inspectors, while continuing to facilitate open-homes, has not gone without appreciation. I fully understand this was a personal touch as a professional, to ensure the process runs smoothly without any glitches and to make it less stressful and pressured for the 'seller', me. :)
Thank you both very much, and I look forward to your faces on 'SOLD' signs outside houses."

Nga mihi maioha, Peata Leef

"As an overseas investor, I have mentally prepared myself for indefinite wait, endless negotiations and even possibly confusing communications. But to my amazement, Will El-Haddawi from Barfoot & Thompson was truly efficient and professional in helping me to secure the apartment of my dream without fuss - from the minute I touched base with him till the time he brought my offer to the vendor, it was a breeze and I was extremely pleased with my buy. I am sure it was due to his confidence and expertise in meeting the expectations of the Vendor and the Purchaser. From the start and even after closing the deal, he was impeccable and thoughtful in taking of my interests and needs of a new owner. I can only say," Thank you, Will! You are just awesome!"

Lee

"I just to say a big thank you again, for looking after me so well, you certainly made our yesterday and truly God answered our prayers, now we can breath a little easier. I was so glad that you were honest and staight with mum, you kept me informed with everything that's happening.
Once again thank so much for all your hard work."

Tali Vaka'uta

"Will did the hard yards to achieve a high price for me despite very low levels of interest in my unit. His communication and level of persistence was excellent, and he negotiated a fantastic deal; a great bloke.

Horst Jeske

"Many thanks to Will and Rowan for having sold the property in the time specified and at a price that was
acceptable. Well done!"

Karen Masilamani

"An experienced professional estate agent with whom we had worked successfully in the past initially recommended Will El-Haddawi to us. After talking to both Will and other agents, we chose to work with Will. We chose him because his presentation and work were professional and organised, he listened to us, and was straight up yet pleasant. He had an energy that leant us confidence in his ability to get the job done well, and it was. When we had issues to work through he went the extra miles to help us, taking on tasks I would not have expected of him, keeping us informed at all stages. We were so happy and impressed with Will we would not and do no hesitate to recommend him."

Darryn McCalman

"I would like to thank you very much for all your help in selling 8/113 Wallace Road. Even though we didn't get to meet you, you made it so easy to conduct our business with you. Thank you for your professionalism and for keeping us up to date with everything as the sale progressed.
You did a wonderful job for us and we are very grateful.

"We are very happy and were overwhelmed with Will's work with us. We have to say he took every thing on his shoulders from scratch, because we do not have experience in buying, selling or marketing. He has had long sessions with us explaining his marketing campaign and recommendations for it. He explained every single step and advised us on things that we would've ignored or regarded as not important but proved to be very important later. He was always there for us to ask him about any thing at any time. We have to apologize to him for being
some what slow in doing some points he asked us to do, but with his follow up we did it. We are very happy with the price that we sold the house for. We will recommend Will to our friends to get his help if they plan to buy or sale their houses. (we have already started doing that).

"I write this testimonial from my recent experience of the two Real Estate Agents from Barfoot and Thompson - Will El-Haddawi and Ping Greenwood.
I found their team work and professionalism to be first class. From the moment they took instructions to market my property the advise and the moment to moment reports they [provided me of the progress proved to me that they knew what they were doing, and that they undertook their assignment with remarkable dedication which produced a sell well beyond their expectation at the auction.
I recommend them very highly to anyone wishing to market their residential property."

"As a first home buyer I didn't know where to start or how to find what I was looking for. Will listened carefully to my wants, understood the needs of our family and spent time researching the market to present well picked properties he thought would suit us. Not only did he get it right, and quickly, but he made the whole process easy and fun. Thank you Will for finding the perfect home for us, and well within budget. If I am ever looking to purchase another home, you will be the first person I call!"

"I first made contact with Will El Haddawi who was working for Barfoot & Thompson at an open home; it was one of many that I had seen. had a good talk with him about what I was looking for and the price range and did not think any more about it, until a couple of days later Will El Haddawi had a list of places to view This went on for just under a month as he was finding out the real type of house that I wanted, he was relentless and never gave up. Then out of the blue a house came on the market He got me over to view it and now I am moving into it soon. Will El Haddawi then found a buyer for my house with in three weeks a very good effort by him and his team? I found Will to be a very professional person and I would recommend him to any one who is looking for a new home."

"Thank you for your email regarding your correspondence about the sale of our house on Corsair Cres. We are very happy to have sold the house, and if the bidding at the auction had not reached a satisfactory level, we would not have sold. We want to thank you for all your hard work on our behalf for a sale, and wish you every success in real estate. Our thanks and best wishes to Joyce and Brett also. Barfoot is always our first choice for buying or selling real estate, because of your good corporate values and service.
Now we are purchasing another property by the beach (settlement next week), so you have played a vital part in helping us achieve our goals."

Malcolm and Della McAllister

"I have known Will since the last three months. I met him when I was trying to purchase a property. I found Will to be very honest, sincere and friendly. I liked his quality of understanding us and our needs and to suggest an appropriate property to suit our needs, without putting excessive pressure. He appears to be very knowledgeable in getting all details about the property and suggest the right price for the same. I am fully satisfied with his services before and after the purchase and would recommend him to any person looking for houses."

"We have found Will to be helpful and courteous to deal with. He is always easy to get hold of and follows up on enquiries straight away. He has been professional at all times and kept us fully informed. We would recommend him to anyone buying or selling."

Thanks, Vicki Sykes

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you on behalf of my Mother and family in the recent sales of her two properties.

I particularly appreciated the consideration you showed during the planning and execution of the sale of the first property.
You were very patient and understanding in dealing with my elderly Mum's wishes and at times when the situation became awkward
your professionalism really shone. Your consistent updates and communication made a huge difference and we always felt in touch with what was happening in the market place.
I know it wasn't easy to negotiate offers through a third party and usually after hours but your patience proved it's worth in the end with the success of a sale.

Because of your understanding the second house was an easy decision for my mother and myself to use your services once again with Barfoot and Thompson.
Your honesty in relation to the market and true value of the property was invaluable information that would be the key to any successful house sale.
Your efficiency and hard work ethics certainly paid off with an extremely quick sale within 3 days of being placed on the market.

We would certainly recommend your services to anyone looking for a sales person that really does work for the vendor."

Chris Piper

"We have been extremely impressed at the way Will Haddawi and the wider Barfoot & Thompson team managed the sale of our house in Mangere Bridge in May 2011.
Will was attentive to all of our wishes from our very first meeting and his constructive suggestions for the sale process worked very well.
Throughout the promotional and house inspection phase Will was very communicative about how everything was going - irrespective of whether positive or negative feedback was the order of the day. We felt informed about the inspections, items we needed to action based on customer comments, how the response to various advertising channels was going and we always felt like we were his most important customer. As a vendor based in Europe and with the differing time zone, his communication skills were especially helpful to us.
The auction team also made a highly professional impression on us and they also played a vital role in helping us achieve our desired sale price.
I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend Will and the Barfoot team to future vendors."
