Client words
Straight advice. Steady hands. Strong results.
“Upfront, honest and easy to engage with.”
We had a fantastic experience working with Matt O'Rourke from Barfoot & Thompson Grey Lynn, who successfully sold our property in March 2026. Matt was upfront, honest and easy to engage with - the right guy to lead us through a process we had no experience in. Matt provided clear, practical advice every step of the way. He helped us understand exactly what work was needed in order to maximise appeal to a broad range of buyers. He also provided sound guidance on why an auction was the preferred type of sale, the sales timeline, and advised on the right level of marketing to achieve the best result. One of Matt's strengths is his building knowledge, which proved invaluable, as he was able to confidently talk to prospective buyers about the potential of the property, which was essentially a "blank canvas" opportunity. On top of that, he had a strong feel for the market and was already well connected with potential purchasers before we even began marketing. Looking back, Matt's advice was spot on. It really highlighted that selling a property is as much an art as it is a science, something that comes with experience, insight, and good instincts. Auction day itself was seamless. Matt and the B&T team ran a superb auction, with every detail taken care of. We were absolutely thrilled with the result and couldn't have asked for a better experience.
