Recently, Leila and David successfully marketed our home in Remuera, and we achieved a pleasing sale price at auction during a challenging and difficult marketing environment, due in no small way to their unstinting hard work and total professionalism.
We found Leila to be both kind and wise and at all times cognizant of the fact she was acting as the vendor’s agent. She was thorough and kept us fully informed throughout the sale process.
They both knew our expectations but were very honest and frank in their assessment of market value, never building our hopes needlessly.
We would recommend Leila and David to anyone and everyone.
Connect with us for tailored guidance - no commitment required.

Our own database of buyers.
When you choose to work with us, you gain access to our private database of buyers, developed from unmatched experience of more than twenty-five years in this market. It is ours, not the company’s. The first calls we make are to people we have already met. Many with long relationships in luxury property, and many are buying from overseas.

You deal with the two of us, throughout.
We are not a franchise. Every member of the Barfoot & Thompson team liaises with us as the main contact for your property, so the full network works for you, while the responsibility stays with the two of us. Plus, you'll always have both of us on your campaign; never handed off to an assistant.
Every home is different, and so is every campaign.
What does not change is the care we take, the discretion we keep, and the standard we hold ourselves to, from the first conversation through to settlement.
Why David MacDonald?
With a background in engineering and property development, David launched his real estate career at Onehunga in 1995 - almost 30 years on, including a move to Remuera in 2006. Known for his straight-up approach, David is a skilled negotiator who holds integrity, trust and honesty as paramount. Always ready to go the extra mile, including hands-on help getting properties market-ready.
More selling power that's negotiated, not processed.
As Auckland’s market leader, we can create buyer competition at a scale that franchised and boutique agencies cannot match. But creating competition is only part of achieving the best result. The final few percent is often won in the negotiation, and that comes down to pure experience.
It is the part of this work we are known for, and something we never delegate.
