Testimonials

Very many thanks for all your hard work and achieving a great sales result. It has been far less stressful than I had imagined, even during level 3 lockdown. You have been honest and taken time to explain each step, kept me updated, always there to answer questions, given me feedback from viewings, always positive and cheerful and a pleasure to work with. I chose you because you know the area so well and have such a great reputation. You have good connections with local developers and residents who have lived in Torbay for many years. I will recommend you to all my friends without hesitation. 03-Nov-2021 – Angela Cadwallader

Geraldine Zareian was recommended to us by a friend. She was patient, honest and accommodating. She helped us to purchase our property at 4 Dee Place, and felt she supported us every step of the way. Geraldine is an excellent agent who made the purchase of our new home easy and stress-free, we could not have done it without her help and guidance. I would readily recommend Geraldine to anyone who is thinking of selling or buying a home. 15-Nov-2021 – K and A Woodley

Geraldine and Andre Zareian of Barfoot & Thompson were chosen to market our home, which we have lived in for 26 years, because Geraldine and Andre are well known in the industry and have great work ethics who work together to get great results. They explained the process of selling the house, advertising and how the auction would work. On the 8th day, we had a pre-auction offer. The auction was brought forward by 2 weeks and on the 12th day the house was sold. We had a total of 51 viewings through the house by appointment only, due to level 3 lockdown and 7 bidders at auction. Geraldine and Andre were in contact daily, keeping us up to date and the advertising was exceptional. If you are looking for a professional, friendly and hard working team to get you house sold, then look no further than Team Zareian of Barfoot and Thompson for results.

Geraldine surpasses all the other agents I have worked with. I found her very easy to talk to, she displays a calm mannerism, and is supportive of my decisions. I trust her and her experience in real estate. 23-Aug-2021 – Margaret Bright

Geraldine Zareian of Barfoot and Thompson was chosen recently to market our home which we had lived in for the last 55 years. Geraldine has great knowledge of the Torbay area and marketed our property to a wide range of potential buyers. These included property developers and also families who wished to look at purchasing a home to renovate. Geraldine was very patient throughout and explained the marketing and auction process to us very well at all times. Geraldine and Coy Zhao worked together as a team on the marketing of our home and gathered a large volume of enquiries at a time when we were suddenly thrown into Lockdown. Despite this, we had a very successful auction, selling over our expectations, which included 16 registered bidders on the day of our auction. We are very happy to recommend Team Zareian to anyone looking for a true real-estate professional. Regards Marie and David Gray 11-Sep-2021 – Roger and Marion Hill

Geraldine and her team were an absolute pleasure to work with. She was very professional in every part of our selling process and sold our home quickly and at a price that we were very happy with. My wife and I would recommend Team Zareian to any prospective sellers or buyers, they will not be disappointed! Thank you Daryl and Steph 02-Aug-2021 – Daryl Quinn

* Patience * Tolerance * Positivity * Personal Ethics * Professionalism * Excellent Communicators * Values * Relationships That’s what you get from Geraldine and Andre! They both complement each other. I have known Geraldine for almost seven years when I met her at a show house. She is never judgemental, free with her advise and expertise and when I decided to sell seven years later, I remembered the agent who cared to communicate even when I had no intention of selling. She is as genuine as you get and Andre is detailed and thorough in everything he does. They are the calibre of agents you want to take care of the sale of your property. 01-Aug-2021 – T Govender

Geraldine was very supportive, measured and kind in helping us through the often stressful experience. Her wealth of knowledge gained over her lengthy career was reassuring and professional from start to finish. 01-Aug-2021 – Miranda Thorpe

Geraldine is such a lovely lady, caring, helpful with an eye for detail. Geraldine was a wonderful guide to the whole procedure while giving us the freedom to make our own decisions. We were very happy with the outcome and would highly recommend Geraldine to anyone looking to sell their property. Thank you so much Geraldine. 22-Jul-2021 – Sandra Greenwood

Geraldine is a fantastic agent. She acted as our buyers agent and worked extremely hard to find us a home that met all our criteria. She always communicated in a timely manner and was polite, professional and good humoured which was important during what could have been a very stressful time. She is very trustworthy and her honest professional opinion was much appreciated. We would have no hesitation in recommending Team Zareian to anyone. 22-Jul-2021 – Anya Duffy and Rob King-Borrero

Is it possible to give 10 stars plus another 10 stars for Adrian too? Throughout the whole process I have nothing but high praises for Geraldine and Adrian, selling a house is daunting but this was such a pleasant experience from start to end. We appreciate all the help and guidance it couldn’t have been any easier. Thanks, heaps for all the hard work and dedication you put into selling our family home my children and I appreciate all of your help and support.20-Jul-2021 – Rahul Rama

Geraldine was excellent to deal with. She listened to what we have to say and acted accordingly. She was able to get us a good price for our home within a month of advertising it. She is, in my opinion, a salesperson rather than an order taker. 20-Jul-2021 – Allan Roberts

I had contacted a few agents prior to my selection for selling my house and knew as soon as I met Geraldine that she was the one for me. She had a very caring nature and didn’t deliver the “clinical” approach as some do. Whilst absolutely professional and knowledgeable about everything related I felt as though my friend was selling my house. Geraldine also introduced me to some great contacts to help with other matters and the whole process went through seamlessly. I would highly recommend Geraldine for selling anyone’s homes. 07-Feb-2020 – Loraine Packman

All of the Zareian family were helpful and nothing was too much trouble. I found it extremely helpful with planning for the open homes as at first I found them quite stressful. We would refer Team Zareian to anyone wishing to sell. 05-Feb-2020 – Linda Gibbs

We have bought and sold several houses over the last 10 years and each time Geraldine was the first person we contacted when we decided to make the move. She is extremely genuine, and has always given us straight up, honest advice. We were extremely impressed with how hard she worked on selling our last property, with a great outcome. Her integrity is second to none! Unfortunately we purchased our current property through another agency and we were dismayed at how poorly we were treated compared to how Geraldine operates. We highly recommend Geraldine whether you are buying or selling, or both. 13-Mar-2020 – Pauline Ridland

We had a wonderful stress free experience via selling with Geraldine & her team. Geraldine is extremely proactive in every way. Not just a very productive agent but a naturally understanding & very likable person to know. Ange & I highly recommend her family & the Barfoot Team.  Thanks so much for making the selling experience stress & hassle free. Cheers. 04-Mar-2020 – KAREN SMITH

Geraldine was recommended to me by a friend and I am very happy with my experience. This is my second time I have sold a property with Geraldine’s assistance in a couple of years and I would totally recommend her. She is a strong, honest and caring agent who puts everything into making such a stressful time be as chilled as possible. Geraldine has great knowledge and experience in property sales around the North Shore and everything went to plan for us. We ended up selling for our reserve price and it sold quickly (which was necessary for my circumstances) Thanks Geraldine! you are the best xx 10-Feb-2020 – Kayleen Crompton

Geraldine has been amazing from the moment we engaged her. She has consistently kept us informed and up to date and met with me weekly to encourage me. We have been delighted with the service she has given us. 08-Feb-2020 – Helen Hughes

Geraldine went above and beyond to assist us as overseas property owners to get the property ready for marketing and attend to all issues that arose from us not being in the country. 16-Apr-2021 – Gary Cox

From start to finish, Geraldine and Team Zareian have been wonderful; their expertise undoubtedly helped us reap the massive reward we received at auction. Even when they were inundated with viewings at the Open Home weekends, they managed brilliantly to ferry people between the home and income dwellings. We have nothing but praise for them and would recommend anyone looking to sell to contact Geraldine before all others. 30-Nov-2020 – Robert Herriott
