At HouGarden, authentic feedback from our partners and clients is what truly keeps us moving forward. A few weeks ago, Dan Keenan had the pleasure of sitting down with Juliet Wong from Barfoot & Thompson Highland Park — an accomplished agent with deep experience in Auckland’s eastern suburbs — to discuss her firsthand experience using HouGarden as part of her business.


Juliet shared how HouGarden has become an integral part of her marketing toolkit, helping her listings reach a broader and more diverse audience. In particular, she highlighted the platform’s ability to connect with Asian-speaking buyers — an increasingly influential segment in the Auckland property market.


From greater listing visibility to seamless communication across languages, Juliet emphasised that HouGarden allows her to bridge cultural and linguistic gaps, ensuring every vendor has the opportunity to reach the right buyers, both locally and overseas.


“Hearing directly from professionals like Juliet reinforces why we do what we do,” said Dan. “Our mission has always been to make property information accessible, accurate, and inclusive — empowering agents and clients to make confident, informed decisions.”


Beyond technology, what stood out most from the conversation was Juliet’s passion for her community and her clients. Her commitment to delivering exceptional service aligns perfectly with HouGarden’s own values of trust, innovation, and collaboration.


It’s these kinds of conversations that remind us how meaningful real estate can be — not just about homes and numbers, but about people and connection.
