Spring is almost here! 🌸🏡

Longer days, a little more sunshine and a fresh season ahead on the North Shore.

Spring also has a way of getting us thinking about our homes. Maybe it’s time to tackle those jobs you’ve been putting off, freshen up the garden, keep an eye on what’s coming to market or perhaps start thinking about your next move.

Whether you’re buying, selling or simply curious about what your property could be worth in today’s market, now could be a good time to start the conversation.

Your next move starts local.

Reach out to your local Barfoot & Thompson North Shore team for friendly, local property advice.

45 years in real estate brings a few stories - and plenty of lessons.

Our Managing Director, Peter Thompson, recently sat down with OneRoof to talk about his career, the changes happening across the real estate industry and why, despite all the technology available today, the human side of real estate still matters.

He also reflects on growing up around the family business and the importance of sharing knowledge and experience across generations.

“The generations have to pass the information down and be involved, otherwise there’s no point in being a family company.”

Winning is only the beginning 🏆💙

That was the theme of Barfoot & Thompson Summit 2026, and our North Shore teams came away with plenty to think about, talk about and put into action.

From AI and economic insights to leadership, client experience, incredible New Zealand talent and even a little magic, it was a day packed with ideas and inspiration.

For Takapuna Branch Manager Bronwyn Clark-Ashdown, Holly Ransom’s message really hit home:

“We may work in real estate, but we are really in the people business. Long after the property is sold, clients will remember how easy we made the process and, most importantly, how we made them feel.”

Browns Bay Branch Manager Darren James had a few takeaways of his own, including prioritising attention and client experience, creating a “to test” list, and exploring how AI can be used for so much more than an alternative to Google.

He also came away with one very important unanswered question…

How DID Brendan Dooley do those tricks?! 🤯😂

And of course, one of the best parts of Summit is simply getting together with colleagues from across the Barfoot & Thompson network, sharing ideas and reconnecting.

A fantastic day, plenty to take back to our North Shore teams, and a great reminder that winning really is only the beginning.
