Testimonials
We had a fantastic experience working with Matt O’Rourke from Barfoot & Thompson Grey Lynn, who successfully sold our property in March 2026.
Matt was upfront, honest and easy to engage with - the right guy to lead us through a process we had no experience in.
Matt provided clear, practical advice every step of the way. He helped us understand exactly what work was needed in order to maximise appeal to a broad range of buyers. He also provided sound guidance on why an auction was the preferred type of sale, the sales timeline, and advised on the right level of marketing to achieve the best result.
One of Matt’s strengths is his building knowledge, which proved invaluable, as he was able to confidently talk to prospective buyers about the potential of the property.
Matt’s advice was spot on. It really highlighted that selling a property is as much an art as it is a science, something that comes with experience, insight, and good instincts.

After meeting with a few agents prior to selling my house in the West Lynn pocket of Grey Lynn Matt stood out way above the rest. He is on one of the most genuine agents out there. He listened to what I wanted, gave excellent advice, was always available when needed and managed to sell my house off-market prior to the sales campaign starting. Even though he could have raised his profile by going to market with my home he was fully invested in getting the sale through prior. He is a calm, measured, honest person which is gold when going through a stressful process like selling your home. I cannot recommend Matt O'Rourke highly enough and fully encourage anyone even thinking about selling to get him over for a chat and an appraisal.

We asked Matt to sell our home in Grey Lynn, having remembered him from a few years earlier when we met him as buyers. From the outset, we had complete confidence in him and really appreciated his honesty, hard work and great communication. He also provided us with plenty of laughs along the way, which was much appreciated. Ngā mihi, Matt, for achieving an outstanding result for us in what was a very difficult economic climate. No doubt we’ll be in touch when we’re looking to buy in the area again.

We asked Matt O'Rourke to market and sell our home because of the favourable experience we had with him during the buying process. However, the selling process was a real eye-opener - the work Matt put in was nothing short of outstanding. His professionalism and the value he added throughout the campaign, especially during the negotiations, were particularly impressive. It was a real pleasure dealing with Matt. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone thinking of selling.
