Testimonials

"After returning from an overseas trip my wife and I decided to purchase a section for future development but were being held back due to not being able to sell our home which had been listed for five months. Debbie phoned me after speaking to the person I was purchasing the land off and offering to see what they could do to help.

With no pressure and a very comfortable approach to helping us, Debbie got the ball rolling there and then on the Wednesday and organized an open home for the Sunday and consistently kept us up to speed with information and feedback from other members of the Barfoot & Thompson team.

The day of the open home we were called with the feedback and told they would be back in touch after talking to everyone that attended. This amount of reporting back to me and my wife was something we were not used to as we had to call the previous agent to find out what was going on. Wednesday morning, another call, with an offer which was sorted with not too much negotiating as Debbie was aware of our expectations, this went unconditional on the Friday and settlement the following Friday so you can imagine no time wasted and a great result in just over a week.

We are very fortunate to have the pleasure of working with Debbie and would highly recommend her to anyone who wants positive and best results. Once again Debbie, thanks."
