"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."

"After meeting with a few agents prior to selling my house in the West Lynn pocket of Grey Lynn Matt stood out way above the rest. He is on one of the most genuine agents out there. He listened to what I wanted, gave excellent advice, was always available when needed and managed to sell my house off-market prior to the sales campaign starting. Even though he could have raised his profile by going to market with my home he was fully invested in getting the sale through prior. He is a calm, measured, honest person which is gold when going through a stressful process like selling your home. I cannot recommend Matt O'Rourke highly enough and fully encourage anyone even thinking about selling to get him over for a chat and an appraisal."
