The tight-knit team at Barfoot & Thompson Beachlands sell significantly more homes in this coastal suburb than any other real estate agency - and it's easy to see why.

All staff live locally, which means they can offer a great deal of area knowledge and the best advice when buying, selling or renting in Beachlands or Maraetai. Much like the area, the team is made up of a number of immigrants from the UK and South Africa who have settled here for the coastal, kiwi lifestyle.

Added to this local knowledge is a depth of experience in real estate, extensive skills and regular training, as well as having the vast resources of Auckland's leading real estate company at their fingertips.

Barfoot & Thompson sell one in three properties in Auckland, and all branches have access to in-house auction experts, excellent marketing tools and resources, a sophisticated website and listings system, and the ability to market properties through all 70+ branches in Auckland and Northland - creating far greater campaign reach and selling power.

The team at Beachlands also offers dedicated property managers to take the stress out of owning an investment property.

Beachlands and Maraetai are set among picturesque countryside on Auckland’s Pohutukawa Coast, just 40 minutes drive or a 30 minute ferry ride to the CBD. Homes are a mix of established and modern, often set on generous sections and with many offering stunning sea views. The area boasts beautiful swimming beaches, sports facilities, great shopping nearby, the harbour on your doorstep and good local primary and intermediate schools - all of which has brought many young families to the area.
