Fantastic experience: Linda…Simply the Best! Linda instilled confidence right from the start of this journey. She had an exceptional understanding of the market around the area of our property, and this extended to the clientele that would be interested in our home. Her advice regarding marketing and promotion of the property was spot on. We found Linda easy to contact and approach every step of the process. There was no doubt she was working for us and desired the very best outcome. And that’s what we got!! We couldn’t have asked for a better outcome on Auction day. Thank you Linda for everything! You are Simply The BEST!

Fantastic experience: Excellent customer service. We first met Kristy when we came to view the property at 83 Langana Avenue. Although she represented the vendor, she treated us as if we were her own clients. She never pushed us toward the property and was always honest in presenting the true picture. Previously, we had met a few agents who claimed their properties were the best, but Kristy stood out with her transparency and professionalism. She also helped us view a few other houses so we could gain a better understanding of the Browns Bay market, which we truly appreciated. Kristy was very patient throughout the buying process and helped us secure two extensions from the vendor to obtain financial approval. She consistently assisted in communicating our requests and ensuring they were conveyed properly to the vendor. Once again, I would like to sincerely thank Kristy for the excellent job she did throughout the process of purchasing this house. I wish her all the very best in her future endeavours.

Fantastic experience: Kerry was very knowledgeable and went the extra mile when it came to assisting with our property purchase. I'd recommend him to anyone selling or purchasing a new home.

Fantastic experience: Excellent Agents. Louise and Kathryn managed the process of finding tenants for my property extremely professionally by providing thorough and regular communication and making sure that I had all the information I needed to make informed decisions. I was doing this from offshore and knowing that they were there looking after my best interests was very comforting. They found a great tenant in a good timeframe in a challenging market. Thank you Barfoot & Thompson Milford for your continued great service.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic, friendly and professional . Kerry and April marketed our home of 25 years with professionalism and care. They communicated with us at every stage and their advice was always well thought out and helpful, culminating in a successful sale.

Fantastic experience: Would definitely recommend Barfoot & Thompson when looking for a rental. Our Property Manager (Kathryn - Milford Office) was easy to contact, great communication. Any issues were sorted quickly with no hassles. Property Inspections were always stress free as she didnt mind if we had to change date/time of inspection to make sure someone was home due to dog being on the property.

Fantastic experience: An Agent of Exceptional Skill, Patience, and Integrity. I am writing to express my deepest gratitude to Lily Wang for her outstanding service in successfully selling my property. We encountered a situation where the buyer became quite emotional and upset. Where many might have escalated the tension, Lily handled it with remarkable patience and empathy. She calmly and professionally engaged with the buyer, listening to their concerns and de-escalating the situation with genuine care. Furthermore, her strategic skill was impeccable. Her timing in negotiations was perfect—knowing precisely when to communicate and when to pause. Her methods were wise and always aimed at finding a constructive path forward. Every piece of communication was timely, clear, and transparent, which kept me feeling informed and confident during every step of a potentially stressful process. Thanks to Lily's professional negotiation, compassionate handling of a difficult moment, and flawless execution, we achieved a fantastic result. She wasn’t just selling a piece of land; she was safeguarding my interests and ensuring a smooth transaction for all parties. I cannot recommend Lily highly enough. She is a true professional and an absolute asset to anyone looking to buy or sell property. With sincere thanks,

Fantastic experience: Great professional to work with. Scott is an experienced, knowledgeable, data driven professional who communicates well and is very organised. He provided sound advise, was able to organise marketing and all go to market details in a very short time frame when requested which resulted in achieving our sale time and price objectives. Scott has a depth of property experience which means he proactively navigates potential issues resulting in a smooth sales experience.

Fantastic experience: Great experience. Kathryn Thomas was excellent to deal with, she helped make the set up go smoothly, which I was very grateful for. All the staff at Barfoot and Thompson Milford that I dealt with were friendly and helpful.

Fantastic experience: Above & Beyond Property Managers – Incredible Support in a Stressful Time. We cannot speak highly enough of Kathryn, Louise, and Joseph and the incredible support they provided during what has been a very stressful time for us. Securing a new rental just one week before Christmas with such a fast turnaround felt almost impossible — yet they made it happen seamlessly within seven days. A special mention must go to Kathryn, our previous agent, who truly went above and beyond. Her dedication, professionalism, and willingness to help us at such short notice were outstanding. She kept communication clear, reassuring, and efficient every step of the way, and her genuine care made all the difference. Louise and Joseph were equally fantastic. Joseph’s customer service was exceptional — friendly, responsive, and always willing to assist — and Louise was professional, supportive, and efficient throughout the process. Together, they worked as an outstanding team. If you are looking for a reliable, professional, and compassionate property management team, especially during high-pressure periods like the lead-up to Christmas, we highly recommend Kathryn, Louise, and Joseph. Absolutely deserving of a five-star rating — thank you all so much!

Fantastic experience: If you want an agent who genuinely cares, you’ll love working with Faye Cui!

We felt like we had a friend and a professional champion in our corner. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Our family wish to express our heartfelt gratitude to Linda of Barfoot & Thompson Milford, who helped us appraise, market, negotiate and sell our cherished family home of 18 years. Linda was able to connect us to her best network of professionals to get the job done. This home has been treasured by our family for almost two decades, with so many wonderful memories made and great milestones reached while living here. We were ready for the next steps in life and we knew that we wanted to reach out to Linda as our listing agent as she has managed to achieve incredible results for numerous vendors in the Campbells Bay area. Linda is a hardworking and determined professional that has a robust partnership with her branch manager Henry, who gave us the best advice for optimising the listing to be a win-win situation for the vendor and buyer. We were so impressed with the swift and professional manner in which the negotiations were conducted by Linda and Henry of the Barfoot & Thompson Milford branch. Thank you for treating our property with the love and respect we gave it for all these years. All the best for your future endeavours, see you around the neighbourhood Linda!

I couldn't recommend the Milford team more.

Fantastic experience: As a newcomer to the complexities of selling and buying property, Eileen and Faye have excelled. They have listened carefully to all I have said to them, understood the emotions involved with the process, which has at times, been overwhelming, scary and exciting.

We definitely will recommend Linda to our friends and hope we can work together again in the future.

Fantastic experience: All the stress taken away. Barfoot takes the load, I relax in peace. My agent, Joseph, is fantastic. He is professional and diligent in every aspect of my rental management. He listens carefully to my concerns and he is also a champion for my tenants, so they love to stay there. He is protective of the condition and treatment of my rental so I have confidence in the long-term endurance of my property. I appreciate all his advice and trust him to help me maximize the benefits of owning a rental property. Between tenants the marketing and screening of applicants was efficient and effective resulting in very fast turnover. Any possible stress for me is alleviated because he takes the lead in every situation. He anticipates problems and has options already prepared when he broaches them with me. He works with me to resolve things in the quickest and cost effective way. He is a very pleasant and engaging man, and one of the faces of a very streamlined and professional organization. The Barfoot & Thompson procedures are a well established and well oiled machine that work for tenants and landlords alike, making renting a property and living in a Barfoot rental a pleasure.

The entire experience was pretty easy with his help even after the sale of the house.

Fantastic experience: Outstanding knowledge and professional service . Communication has been clear, prompt, and professional throughout the process. I would highly recommend Kristy and will definitely work with her again in the future.

Fantastic experience: I purchased my first home via Linda. As a first home buyer, I was nervous and hesitant about making my first offer.

Fantastic experience: Honest Property Manager - A rare gem. Joseph is an extremely honest and hard working property agent. Do not be dismayed by his youthful looks - this guy knows what he is doing. He is extremely honest - which sadly in business can be a rarity. Joseph was honest with me about market conditions from our very first meeting, but nevertheless worked very hard and got great tenants for me. He communicated with me throughout the whole process and didn't rush to take just any tenant. Joseph has very strong personal values, and these transfer over to how he conducts himself in his business life. You will be very well supported if you choose Joseph to manage your property.
