Welcome Blake to the Parnell Branch!

In Blake’s own words…

I’m passionate about working with people and helping clients navigate one of the most important decisions they will make. For me, success in real estate comes from building genuine relationships, understanding my clients’ goals, and being fully committed to achieving the best possible outcome for them.

I chose to work with Barfoot & Thompson because of its outstanding reputation across Auckland, its proud family-owned history, and the professional culture that encourages excellence. Being part of such a respected organisation allows me to learn from some of the most experienced professionals in the industry while delivering trusted service backed by one of the strongest brands in real estate.

Before transitioning into real estate, I built my career in the hospitality industry — an environment where communication, attention to detail, and delivering exceptional service are essential. Working in fast-paced, high-pressure settings sharpened my ability to stay focused, understand people quickly, and consistently deliver a high standard of client care.

I also have a genuine personal connection to the communities I work in. Having grown up in Parnell and lived in suburbs including Mount Eden, Westmere, and Ponsonby, I have a deep appreciation for the unique character that makes Auckland special — from heritage homes to modern developments and the vibrant café and restaurant culture.

Outside of work, I enjoy staying active through fitness, running, fishing, and spending time outdoors making the most of Auckland’s coastal lifestyle.

I bring energy, determination, and a strong work ethic to everything I do — and I’m committed to delivering outstanding results for every client I represent.

Introducing Shawn to the Parnell branch!

In Shawn’s words…

For me, real estate is both personal and practical. A home is where life happens, but it is also one of the most important financial decisions many people will ever make. My role is to help clients feel informed, supported, and confident at every step.

As a Residential Salesperson with Barfoot & Thompson Parnell, I bring a friendly, patient, and highly trustworthy approach to every client relationship. I believe strong results are built on transparency, integrity, and attention to detail. Whether I am working with a family searching for their next home or an investor reviewing opportunities, I make sure every transaction is handled with care, precision, and clear communication.

Before moving into real estate, I built my career in accounting and banking, working in both China and New Zealand. Most recently, I worked as a financial accountant in the Treasury Team at Heartland Bank. This background gives me a strong understanding of numbers, risk, market trends, and strategic asset decisions, allowing me to provide clients with practical, data-driven insight when it matters most.

I also hold a Bachelor of Business, with a major in Accounting, which supports the analytical approach I take to property, pricing, and investment conversations.

I have been fortunate to achieve strong sales results and positive client feedback, but what matters most to me is that every result represents a successful outcome for the people I work with.

I speak English and Mandarin, and outside of real estate, I am a dedicated fitness enthusiast and self-proclaimed gym rat. Like property, fitness rewards consistency, discipline, and showing up with purpose.
