Mark & Lisa were recommended to me by a friend who sang their praises. As a result of this recommendation I signed with Mark & Lisa to sell my house and am happy to say it was the right decision. I found them very professional but also easy to chat to and they made the experience very easy. Nothing was a problem and they worked hard to get the sale over the line. They answered all my questions promptly and in a way that I could understand. I would use them again without any hesitation.

We have both bought and sold with Lisa Nielsen and Mark Boyd and have found them impressive both times. They are strong sellers advocates and the equally strong professionalism and integrity they’ve shown also gets the best from a buyer. Highly recommend them.

Selling my house with Mark and Lisa is one of the best decisions I made, an experience I will not forget. After 30 years in our home I was very anxious about selling and unsure who I could trust to sell the property. Choosing Mark and Lisa was easy they are people who know the area and care for what they do.A phone call a text they were always there to help reassure and guide me through all the processes. They are genuine people and the result reflects a special team I would recommend. Wish I had more houses to sel. Thank you Mark&Lisa ?

Mark and Lisa were fantastic in helping us sell our home. They were professional, personable and great communicators. We had the odd bump along the road in the selling process, however they showed their competence and experience assisting us through the issues. Our house was sold in just six days. We highly recommend Mark and Lisa. Thanks again!

We enlisted Mark Boyd and Lisa Nielsen to sell our family home. They were wonderful to deal with during the whole process. Their approach was relaxed and friendly - with a sense of humour when appropriate ! They kept us fully informed the whole way and clearly worked hard to get us a good outcome. Our family highly recommend them. .

Mark Boyd & Lisa Nielsen were absolutely amazing to deal with when selling our house recently. Great communication, always prompt & efficient and understood trying to sell & keep a house tidy with two small kids during L3 & L2 lock down was a little trying at points. Also loved how many interested parties they found by using the whole Barfoots network. We had a strong response on Auction day, giving us an amazing result. They aren't too many agents who are willing to give you an accurate estimated range they expect you to sell for, and publicly post the details whether it's good, great or under. It's this knowledge of the local market that made us feel great to sell through them. Strongly recommend to others.

Highly recommended! Mark and Lisa were very professional and extremely good communicators throughout the process of selling our property. They gave exceptional detail through every step - from discussing sale and rental options, giving us presentation tips, ensuring the best photos, coordinating viewings and right through to settling the new owners in. Having never sold via auction, they took the time to explain and answer all our questions. Their thorough, non-rushed, attentive, personable and communicative style made them a pleasure to deal with. Mark and Lisa know the real estate business extremely well and ensured great results for us. Mark's extensive knowledge of market trends and his wide promotional reach was an added advantage too. Thank you to you both.

Mark and Lisa were an absolute pleasure to deal with. They kept us informed at every stage of the process and explained everything. Due to health issues we had some challenges, but Mark and Lisa happily worked with us to find viable workarounds. Our home sold very quickly and we are thrilled with the outcome.

We couldnt be happier about our decision to have Mark & Lisa sell our property. From the get go the communication was always prompt and it seemed no question was ever a hassle. We also liked the knowledge / expertise they shared of the local property market. We really enjoyed the calm, personable yet professional manner in which Mark & Lisa carried out their job - even when working through the challenges of a pandemic! The whole process felt very comfortable and stress-free. The ‘extra’ help, such as finding a new home for some outdoor furniture after the sale, was very helpful and much appreciated. And testament to all of the above - our sale price was considerably above what we expected! Thank you Mark & Lisa for a wonderful result.

Mark and Lisa represented the vendor of the house I purchased. They were excellent to deal with - lovely people, very friendly and helpful, and right from the start they stood out from other agents I had dealt with. After viewing another house which I wasn't interested in, Mark was proactive in contacting me to show me the house I ultimately purchased. He and Lisa were also very responsive throughout both the negotiations and purchase, and they gave me a very kind and thoughtful gift after settlement. I'd certainly recommend them.

Outstanding results from a very professional and communicative team. We enjoyed working with Mark Boyd and Lisa Neilson in selling our home. They were very professional, friendly and efficient in dealing with all matters of the process. All avenues were well covered in the marketing of the property and it resulted in good attendance at the open homes and the auction, which ultimately reflected in a great sale price. I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to sell or buy a home.

Mark and Lisa sold our home with support, respect and care. They were there through auctions, multi offers and the final calls. They handled the process with professionalism, laughter and support. Thank you Mark and Lisa for your endless work and kind nature towards me and my boys throughout the process. Recommend you guys over and over again.

Mark and Lisa helped us navigate our way through what became a lengthy process with tact, wit and professionalism. Their attention to the detail and challenge of the process allowed us to always be on the same page as them. Ultimately their task of convincing us to ‘meet the market’ was helped in no small measure by their confidence and sensitivity. We concluded the transactions with trust still intact and that surely is a “Win-Win”. God Bless guys!

Mark and Lisa were great to work with: honest, straight-talking, communicative and motivated to help, and they made the whole process really easy! I really appreciated their expert advice, knowledge of the area, wisdom and guidance. Would definitely recommend Mark and Lisa to anyone.

Lisa and Mark were a pleasure to work with regarding the recent sale of our property in Te Atatu Peninsula. Both presented as experienced, professional and genuine Real Estate Agents and made the process very streamlined and pain free. We found them extremely responsive, easy to deal with and that their service represented good value for money. As a result we would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone else considering listing their property or to engage again should the opportunity arise.

Lisa and Mark were fantastic in helping us purchase our first home. They were always happy to help with any queries and always made themselves available when we needed to access the property prior to the sale going through. Lisa and Mark are very friendly people and were even helpful in choosing our wall paint colour :-) Thank you both.

We recently sold our home through Mark and Lisa at Barfoot & Thompson Te Atatu. How do I even begin to describe how lovely and genuine they are! Very professional yet very friendly. Would 100% recommend them to anyone wanting to sell their home. They made us feel comfortable and at ease every step of the way. Great communication skills, always easy to get in contact with and they just work absolutely amazing as a team! Thank you both very much for everything :-)

We recently sold a property through Mark and Lisa. We had a relationship with a bunch of local agents, but they got the nod as we believed they were right for our property. We enjoyed that they were genuine, honest and trustworthy. One thing that set them apart from the rest was their commitment. They never missed an open home even though the listing was over the Xmas / NY period. Other agents suspended their weekly open homes, or moved to 'by appointment only', but Mark and Lisa kept these going throughout this time. We appreciated the effort they put in.

We chose Mark and Lisa to market the sale of our home in Te Atatu Peninsula. From the outset we found them both to be very professional, organised and great communicators. They made the often daunting experience of selling a home more relaxing. We would have no hesitation engaging Mark and Lisa to sell property for us in the future.

We recently bought a place through Mark and Lisa and found them to be great to work with. As first home buyers we needed a bit of guidance and they were always available to help, and answered our questions along the buying process. A super team! We recommend!

We recently bought our new home through Mark and Lisa at Barfoot & Thompson Te Atatu. We had an excellent experience from beginning to end. They were both professional, genuine and great to deal with - we never once felt pressured or hurried and we're delighted with our new home.

Mark is a friendly and professional real estate agent. We found the entire process of selling through him to be stress free and straight forward which is a credit to his time in the industry. He provided us with plenty of expert insight into the local market and you could tell that he had done his research. He met with us numerous times and was always accommodating of our work schedules, often driving out to see us. He ultimately removed the worry and uncertainty we had with selling our house. Everything was explained to us clearly right from the start and there were constant updates over the open home period to let us know how things were progressing. He followed up on all potential buyers to keep interest high and also ensured they were finding the right house that suited them as well. We ended up with a great result and we're just really happy we were able to get Mark on board to help us sell our house. All round a top bloke.

"As overseas vendors we knew that honest communication and top notch service from Lisa and Mark would be important. From our first conference call, we knew that Lisa and Mark were on the same page. We weren’t desperate to sell, and Lisa was open about the vagaries of the current Auckland market. Lisa kept us updated, often daily, as the open homes were often rained out by horrific storms. When the fence blew down just before auction, Lisa had a fencer out and a quote to us by the next business day. Mark could put us in touch with the professionals required for various reports needed by potential purchasers. Due to subsequent feedback from viewers, we decided to give the place a facelift. Mark was ‘on call’ for 4 hours’ with the power company who required someone to meet them onsite, with 15 minutes notice, during that timeframe! Lisa and Mark also regularly met and provided access to the tradesmen. Not once did they just leave the place unlocked. Before one open home, Lisa and Mark filled 3 vacuum cleaner bags, vacuuming the mess left from the carpet layers! Due to a change in personal circumstances, we decided not to sell, and to move an elderly relative into the house. Lisa and Mark were incredibly understanding, and still met with the bathroom renovator and roofer so that we could finish the place before she moved in. For them to help us out like that - knowing full well that they wouldn’t be completing the sale – well that is what I call platinum service!” Hudson & Vanessa

We worked with Mark and Lisa to sell our house in Te Atatu South. They were very friendly and down-to-earth, which we appreciated - when you are going to be having someone coming to your home many times over the coming weeks for open homes, etc, it pays to enjoy being in their company! They also did a fantastic job of selling the house, finding us a buyer within three weeks and in a difficult time for real estate, just heading into Christmas. I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell.

We just moved to our first home with great support from Mark and Lisa. They are very friendly, caring and can think from our view. Will recommend to my friends who want to sell or get a property.

We worked with Mark and Lisa to sell our house on Matipo Road on the Peninsula. We met with one other agent but settled on Mark and Lisa as we felt like they really wanted our business and we weren't just another number. We found them both to be very professional and motivated throughout the campaign. They worked hard to get as many genuine purchasers to our auction and we managed to get a fantastic price for our property come auction day. We wouldn't hesitate in using them in the future or recommending them to anyone looking for a real estate agent. Thanks!

We recently sold our house and bought a new one with Marks help. He has a very relaxed style which we found working really well both on the seller and buyer side. If you are planning on selling your house I recommend you give Mark a call.

I have known Mark Boyd for nearly 20 years. He has always been an honest, caring neighbor, motivated and enthusiastic worker (we've worked on various projects in the past), and he has that rare ability to brighten other's spirits. It's rare to get all of that in one person.

I've known Mark for 35 years personally, and more recently in a professional capacity. I've always known him to be confident, honest and friendly - all traits that will serve him and his clients well. His professional manner and enthusiasm for what he does builds a confidence in you that he not only knows what he's talking about, but will take care of you and your interests. Mark has a great sense of community and is in touch with what's going on in the area, making efforts to network and be engaged with what's happening. I have no hesitation in recommending Mark as someone who will take a genuine interest in you as a client should you be seeking professional help with your real estate options.

Mark is really honest and hardworking and would strive to achieve the best results for his clients. He also knows where all the good coffee places are!
