About Paula O'Brien
After originally applying for the position of administrator in 2018, I was encouraged to join as a salesperson by Hayden Clarke, our Kerikeri branch manager. It was an easy decision that resulted in completion of my real estate licence very quickly and I took the leap with absolutely no regrets.
I have lived, worked and brought up my family in Kerikeri since 1999. I have a wide network of contacts having worked in the fitness industry and local pharmacy as well as being involved in various community events over the years.
With an eye for style and design, I am able to offer my clients advice and expertise on how to present their home to its full potential, maximising interest and increasing saleability.
I'm a good listener, problem solver and enjoy communicating with all personalities. I have a genuine interest in helping people achieve their real estate goals, while also keeping the process as smooth and enjoyable as possible.
I'd love to chat with you about your property, whether you are just in the thinking stages or ready to sell now.
Give me a call today and we'll get your journey started.

Testimonials
You couldn't do better than employ Paula O'Brien if you want a professional agent working for you.
Recently on deciding to sell our property we invited several local real estate companies to submit their proposals. After due consideration we chose Barfoot and Thompson to be our agent. The professionalism of their rep Paula O’Brien during the most difficult of times (during two lockdowns) was impressive to say the very least. She kept us regularly up to date during negotiations and went well above what was expected normally with her constant communication. After previous bad experiences with selling property we could not recommend her and the company more highly.

We put our home on the market just before the coronavirus Lock-down took hold. Based on the recommendation of a local mortgage broker we appointed Barfoot & Thompson sole agency and as a consequence met you.
In that one meeting and subsequent meetings you never failed to impress us. Your professionalism, your attention to detail, responsiveness and service delivery were first class. Importantly, at no time did we feel pressured by you, and with your friendly personality it was always a pleasure to have you here in our home.
Sadly, because of health issues and with advent of coronavirus, we had to take our house off the market and its sale did not eventuate. However, if we were to put it back on the market you can rest assured there is no other realtor in town who we would rather employ. You are a credit to Barfoot & Thompson and to your profession.
Thank you.
Kind regards
Mike and Maggie Isle-
We chose Paula from Barfoot & Thompson to sell our house as we loved her easy manner and great enthusiasm for the whole sale process.
We were not disappointed. Everything progressed smoothly because of her hard work and great communication throughout. Nothing was too much trouble and her positivity was infectious.
We thank her wholeheartedly for completing the process without any stress on our part and wish her success in the future.
Lianne and Dan Schischka-
Moving to Kerikeri
From the moment we met her, her friendly manner put us at ease. She went out of her way to show us a variety of properties, and as we are new to the area, drove us to our viewings. Since then she has answered any questions we may have and has supported us through the purchase process. She is a highly professional salesperson and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone.
