“Are you hearing from your property manager enough?”

Hi - I am Sandra and I am the Branch Manager at Barfoot & Thompson City Branch.

One of the most common complaints we hear from our new landlords that move across to us is they experienced poor communication with their previous property mananger and that in fact, they would only hear from them when there’s a problem.

We believe great property management is not just about collecting rent. Its about protecting your investment, reducing stress, finding and keeping great tenants and that it should be proactive, not reactive.

That means regular updates, clear communication, thorough inspections, and keeping you informed before small issues become big ones.

Our team are here at City Branch are experienced, we manage nearly 1,000 properties across Auckland and the CBD, and we’ve built our reputation on strong relationships with both landlords and tenants. Ultimately, we understand that your property is a valuable investment, and you deserve to know what’s happening with it.

Our job is to give you confidence that everything is being looked after properly.

If you’re wondering whether you’re getting the level of service you deserve, or if you are self mananging and looking for support just comment the word rent and we will send across some information.

👑 King’s Birthday: The classic Kiwi tradition of pulling out the puffer jackets in June to celebrate a royal birthday that’s actually in... November. Classic.

But beyond the long weekend vibes, this weekend marks the unofficial start of winter—and a major mindset shift for the Auckland property market. ❄️🏡

Right about now, the winter property questions start creeping in:

Buyers either double down on their search or retreat to the couch.

Sellers face the big dilemma: “Do we push through winter, or wait it out for spring?”

Having navigated over a century of Auckland winters at Barfoot & Thompson, we know that less winter competition can actually mean sharper results for sellers. Both strategies are valid; it just comes down to your specific goals.

☕️ Using the long weekend to think about your next move? Skip the headlines. Drop us a DM or reach out to your local branch for a straight, honest take on the market.

Enjoy the long weekend! 👇

When it comes to investing, staying close to home isn’t just about location - it’s about strategy too.

Here are four of the most popular approaches that Kiwi investors adopt:

• Buy and Hold: Purchasing properties to rent out over the long term, aiming for consistent rental income and capital appreciation.

• Buy and Flip: Acquiring properties, enhancing their value through renovations, and selling them promptly for a profit.

• Renovation for increased rental yield: Investing in properties that require improvements to boost their rental income potential.

• Capital growth investment: Focusing on properties in areas with high potential for property value appreciation over time.
