Millwater Agent
Rita has been with Barfoot & Thompson since 2009 and understands the benefit of working for a family business with a great reputation.
She gives her clients 110% of her time assisting them with anything that needs to be done before their home goes on the market, making everything seem so easy and stress-free.
Most of her business comes from returning clients and referrals. This is something of which she is particularly proud, and believes is a result of her excellent customer service.
Rita Oliver is a highly professional salesperson, very hard working and has done a great job with the marketing and selling of our property. She has a very positive attitude, is an excellent communicator and is very direct and honest. We have no hesitation in recommending Rita to everyone selling or buying a property." Garry Wellfare & Lesley Andrews - Orewa
I used Barfoot & Thompson for both the sale of my existing property and the purchase of the replacement property, as I felt confident with the Sales Person involved. At all times she was completely professional and best of all, delivered an end result above my expectations. I would have no hesitation in recommending her services to anyone." David Mortimer - Torbay
