“Following the re-location back to Sydney of my family, we decided to put our family home on the market, 27 Hartland Ave, Glendowie. With 3 kids having attended the local school, we knew plenty of people to ask for a recommendation as to who we should entrust as the agent responsible for the sale. Funnily enough, we kept hearing the same name, Lynette Boyd from your office. So the decision was basically made for us by the strong name and reputation she has established over many years of working in the local community.
From my very first e-mail to Lynette, to an e-mail address I found on your web page, I found her to be extremely responsive. She kept us thoroughly informed throughout the process, with multiple updates via phone calls, e-mails and texts every week. This was particularly important for us as we had originally planned for my wife to come over to Auckland to take care of all the necessary details, Lynette made this unnecessary as she took care of all of it. Ultimately she got us the result on the auction day, we were able to sell the house in NZ (albeit with very heavy hearts and a lot of emotion), and now we have been able to purchase a fantastic Sydney property.
Thanks Lynette for your attention to detail and strong emphasis on customer service and attention to detail, you certainly lived up to our expectations and as an individual you reflect very well on your overall company Barfoot and Thompson St Heliers.

“We dealt with Lynette knowing that she is a true professional. She did an outstanding job with great results. He communication and reporting was excellent. Would recommend Lynette to anyone thinking of selling a property”
– Trish & Colville Wallace (32 Esperance Rd)
“It was a difficult time deciding to sell the family home of some 50+ yrs, and I chose to go with Lynette as she was very understanding of the situation and made me feel very comfortable and explained the whole process in a way that was easy to understand.
During the time Lynette had the property and operated the open homes she regularly kept me informed either by text, email or phone call on how the progress was going. She would also email a weekly report updating on the effect of the advertising and open home comments.
I found Lynette to be extremely professional and the marketing campaign she set gave a very realistic view of the property.
I believe Lynette has a very real knowledge of the current market and helps to set prices at a realistic and achievable figure.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Lynette to any one either selling or buying as I am sure they will get the same honest good service that I received”
– Raewyn Morris ( 72 Kildare Ave)
“My mother sold her apartment at today’s auction. Importantly the whole process has been highly professional and the agents – Joanna Deighton and Lynette Boyd – have done a great job. Their advice to us on price, marketing options, regular feedback from open homes, communication and courtesy to my elderly mother have been much appreciated and well considered. The outcome and advice regarding price were as they expressed so that our expectations were in line with market.“I want to thank you so much for the excellent outcome you achieved on the sale of my property in Maskell Street recently.
I have always been impressed by what you give back to Auckland as a company but I congratulate you on the service level you obviously build into the culture of your agents and staff.”
– Chris Lambert ( 4/5 Tuhimata Street)
“Lynette was particularly helpful because I live on Waiheke and she was willing to co-ordinate workmen and access to the property when I couldn’t. I was particularly impressed that she agreed to meet prospective buyers or their builders on one occasion at 7am in the morning and another at 7.30am and it was the latter buyer that bought the property. I think the results at the auction due to the number of bidders speaks for itself in terms of the work that she did with prospective buyers.”
– Claire Barker (11 Sayegh Street)
“We have found Lynette a very friendly, honest,reliable and enthusiastic person. Lynette loves what she does you can see by her presentation and sense of commitment.”
– Evelyn and Michael Jaffe (22A Sayegh St)
“Great agent, good to work with.”
– Atesh (3 Navarre St)
“Lynette was a fantastic agent to deal with. Her communication and approach was well executed as she genuinely understood the emotion of the process in selling the family home (that has remained with us for four generations). Lynette and her colleague Mark were very proactive and we appreciated the continued communication and updates for the duration of the house being on the market. It was a difficult process to deal with a number of family members, however Lynette’s professional approach drove us to achieve the result we wanted. We will be happy to refer Lynette, and B&T St Heliers to any of our friends and family who require an agent for buying or selling their homes.”
– Estelle Tikitau (9 Bean Place)
From the outset you were extremely organised and provided all the necessary information regarding current sales and a realistic marketing programme. As this was the third house you have successfully sold on my behalf I knew that would be the case!
You were in contact immediately after each open home and keen to discuss how the programme leading up to the auction was going and had buyers interested from your previous dealings with them.
On the day of the auction you were able keep all 4 bidders working towards, what in the end was, a better than expected outcome.
I have no hesitation in recommending you, and your team, as an extremely focused professional and will certainly invite you to market and sell any other property in the future I choose to sell.”
– Sharyn O’Brien
“We have known Lynette for over 11 years, and she has become more than a agent to us, our kids know her by first name and we wouldn’t think of going to anyone else!
She helped us sell houses as our family has grown, and has given us the heads up on properties on the market that we have shared with friends and family.
Lynette has always been both professional and friendly and has even stepped in to help sweep floors in preparation for our open home!.
I would thoroughly recommend Lynette as one of the truly good real estate agents, she is hard working and deserves every commission she gets, Barfoot & Thompson are lucky to have such a valuable employee.”
– Sam & Scott Fowler, Samantha Fowler, General Manager Air NZ Holidays
“We would like to thank you for the fantastic job you did in helping us to sell our property recently.
Your professionalism and complete commitment to do the best you can impress us every step of the way. The attention you paid to small things such as getting there early to put the signs out on open day, making changes to the advertisements on a weekly basis, and keeping us up to date all the time particularly gave us confidence that we were in great hands.
We liked your straight-up approach, and we appreciated your dedication and positive attitude when things were moving a bit slower than what we were hoping for in a tough market. Your networks of contacts and market knowledge was very helpful to us.
We also appreciated your willingness to go beyond the call of duty and business and advise and assist us in other aspects as well. We have come to know you as a caring person with a great sense of humour, and we would like to recommend your services to any prospective seller or buyer. Please feel free to contact us at any time if we can be of assistance to you.”
– Steve and Shelley Malan, Ex 2/11 Elizabethan Gardens
“I would like to commend both your office and in particular Lynette for the outstanding service we received whilst my home was listed with Barfoot & Thompson, St Heliers.
Lynette was utterly professional at all times, her level of feedback and weekly reports were excellent, her marketing ideas were great and I particularly appreciated her ongoing enthusiasm and consultative approach while we worked together to achieve an outcome that I was comfortable with.
Lynette was at all times, very easy to deal with and I would have no hesitation in recommending her to future clients looking for a realistic and approachable sales person.
Please pass on to Lynette my sincere appreciation for her commitment and diligence, persevering where I feel many agents may have given up!”
– Mary Ann Davison, 2/271 Kohimarama Rd
“Throughout this program she kept us fully informed of all interested parties attending the two open homes held each weekend. It was clear, she was very good at qualifying potential buyers and getting their idea of the properties value and its desirability to them.
Lynette was able to, through her good negotiating skills, put together a sale, which satisfied the buyer’s position and meet our desire to have a clean unconditional sale.
I cannot speak highly enough of our satisfaction with all aspects of Lynette’s work. Although she has been working as a Real Estate salesperson for a number of years she has been able to maintain, what I believe is the most important aspect of sales, enthusiasm.
She is able to develop a good rapport with potential buyers but is definitely focused on obtaining the best possible deal for the vendor.”66
