Vanessa Bickerton & Veronica Zhang

Team V&V – Bilingual. Strategic. Results-driven.

We’re rejoining forces at Barfoot & Thompson to grow together as the Kiwi-Asian go-to team for West and Central Auckland.

Vanessa brings over 10 years with Barfoot, strong compliance and strategic experience, and a calm, ethical approach to all kinds of situations — family trusts, estates, bereavement, divorce, or life changes.

Veronica brings fluent Mandarin, a solid finance background, and excellent networks in the Chinese community — connecting directly with local Kiwi families and overseas buyers and investors.

Together we reach more people and leave no stone unturned. Whether you’re downsizing, selling a family home, unlocking land value, or exploring development options (Unitary Plan, granny flats under the 2026 rules, subdivisions), we focus on clear communication, honest advice, and getting you the best outcome.

Specialising in residential sales and development properties across West and Central Auckland.
