In a market where one in three Auckland homes is sold by Barfoot & Thompson, growth truly starts from within. As a leader in New Zealand’s real estate industry, the company continues to dominate residential sales across Auckland — accounting for around 40% of transactions — and maintains a significant presence throughout the North Island.
This week, Barfoot & Thompson held a full-house induction event for its newest recruits, spanning agents, branch managers, property managers, and support staff. The gathering highlighted the company’s commitment to nurturing talent from day one, emphasizing its core values of integrity, community, and family. These principles were evident in every introduction, conversation, and interaction throughout the day, setting the tone for the next generation of real estate professionals.
Lucy and Zoe Fisher from HouGarden were delighted to attend the event, welcoming the new team members into the Barfoot & Thompson family. They shared insights on market trends, digital tools, and strategies for connecting with diverse buyer communities, particularly through HouGarden’s multilingual platform and data-driven solutions.
The induction not only celebrated the arrival of fresh talent but also reinforced the importance of support, mentorship, and collaboration in sustaining Barfoot & Thompson’s market-leading position. With guidance, training, and innovative tools at their disposal, these new recruits are well-positioned to contribute to the company’s continued success and to make a meaningful impact in Auckland’s dynamic property market.
HouGarden looks forward to supporting this talented cohort as they begin their real estate journeys, helping them reach multicultural buyers, leverage technology, and deliver outstanding results for clients across the region.
