Testimonials

"To: Alex They say selling your house is right up there with divorce in the stress ratings, but my experience with you was anything but. The professionalism from all your office, the quality of the photography and the thoroughness of the entire process is to be commended. Thank you so much for the relaxed, encouraging and endlessly positive attitude you showed me and of course for the excellent result we achieved! To: Carolyn Vernon (Manager Remuera) I really appreciate the time you took yesterday at the auction to ensure I was comfortable with the proceedings. It was not required, but reflects the efficiency and professionalism I have received from your office since I first contacted Alex. I have no hesitation in recommending Remuera Barfoots should the occasion arise. Joanne Jennings - 31/05/16 This letter is to say thank you to Barfoot and Thompson for their excellent service in achieving the recent speedy sale of our apartment in Victoria Avenue and in particular the agent we chose, Alex Baker. At all times Alex was a pleasure to deal with, his courtesy and total availability was very helpful to us during an anxious time (as all real estate transactions can be). Alex is ever enthusiastic and positive, but never 'over promised and/or under delivered'. He remained cool, calm and collected when we were feeling the pressure. The final result was very pleasing to us, and once again Alex was totally supportive through the entire campaign; he is both knowledgeable and a very good communicator, every step of the way. We would not hesitate to recommend him to other couples contemplating that ?big move?, likewise the efficient team at Barfoot and Thompson, Remuera. Brian and Sally Kilonback - 10/05/16"
"I wish to place on record the highly professional, energetic and successful service I have received from Mr Alex Baker LL.B in respect of sale of two properties in the Eastern Suburbs of Auckland. I had some brief dealings with Alex while he was in practice as a Lawyer, I recall being impressed with his energy and attention to detail at that stage. As a consequence when some ten or so years later, I wished to sell a property in Speight Road, Kohimarama, I engaged Alex as my agent. He had by then switched occupations to a Real Estate Agent - I do not recall the firm he was with at that time, but it was not Barfoot and Thompson. Another decade or two later I wished to sell another property in Melanesia Road, Kohimarama. By then my impression was that Alex had further honed his skills and with years of experience behind him, was at the top of his game. He knew practically all there was to know about the market in Auckland. He gave advice on the sale succinctly, promptly and in such a way that I was persuaded to proceed as he recommended. The outcome was a successful sale, (at the reserve price) at Auckland at Barfoot and Thompsons well appointed facility in Shortland Street, on Wednesday the second of March 2016. I recommend Alex Baker LL.B of Barfoot and Thompsons Remuera Branch with complete confidence. The Honourable Robert Smellie CNZM QC"
