James Doole | Residential & Coastal Sales — Barfoot & Thompson Remuera & Matakana I specialise in residential and lifestyle property across Remuera, Auckland’s Eastern Suburbs and the Matakana Coast, three locations where architecture, setting and lifestyle come together. Working between the city and coast gives me a strong understanding of how people live, move and invest across these highly sought-after markets. Property has been part of my world for more than 20 years. I completed my first renovation at 17 and I’m now 38, and since those early beginnings my career has spanned real estate sales, high-end interior design and residential development, supported by a Bachelor of Commerce qualification. I’ve been involved in property at every level, from concept and design through to presentation, marketing and negotiation, and that depth of experience underpins the advice and outcomes I deliver today. I have been fortunate to represent many discerning clients and significant homes, including a number of the highest-priced sales ever achieved along the Matakana Coast, as well as several of Remuera’s most notable transactions. Many of these have been completed discreetly off-market, reflecting the trust clients place in my approach and network. Clients value my calm manner, discretion and commercially informed guidance, along with a strong understanding of quality, architecture and what truly drives value in a home. My focus is always on preparation, clarity and thoughtful positioning, ensuring each property is presented to perform at its best. Whether providing confidential advice or managing a leading full campaign, I aim to create a considered and well-managed experience from start to finish.
