“We were very happy to have had Darren as our salesperson for the sale of our house. Real estate salespeople are a mixed bunch, and the fear is usually of finding someone not too dissimilar to a used car salesman playing fast and loose with your money. We found Darren’s understated, genuine approach very reassuring, and more importantly, we found it had a positive influence on any potential buyers, to the extent that we managed a price well beyond our expectations, and well beyond our previous salesperson’s efforts. Highly recommended” Martin & Kath

The story began in 1923
Val Barfoot bought a

In 1934, the Barfoot brothers were joined by Maurice Thompson and in 1940 the business became "Barfoot & Thompson" as we know it today.

From those small beginnings in Newmarket, we quickly grew to become Auckland's market leader. For over 100 years we've remained steadfastly family owned.

The current Directors - Peter Thompson, Stephen Barfoot and Kiri Barfoot - are the grandsons and the granddaughter of the original owners.
