City of Sales

"Mitre 10 Changing Rooms" was one of my favourite TV shows growing up. So it was a privilege to have a conversation with Andy Dye, who played the role of "Handy Andy".
Following a stint on Celebrity Treasure Island, and presenter with Radio Hauraki and Classic Hits, Andy joined Barfoot & Thompson.
Andy has been with Barfoot & Thompson since 2004 - firstly as one of the top salespeople in the Bays, and currently as Manager of the Ellerslie office.

Sharon has one of the most extraordinary life stories I have heard.
Against the odds and after a childhood filled with difficulties most of us could not imagine, she has gone on to have a remarkable career and a happy, loving family.
From founder of Green Acres, At Your Request, and Beauty on Demand franchise groups to host of Candid Camera to marketer of high-end rural properties with Barfoot & Thompson, Sharon's career is as astonishing as the rest of her life.

Munish Seth started his real estate career in 2004 and since then has achieved over 800 sales. He has been in the Barfoot & Thompson top 25 three times, has spoken at the Barfoot & Thompson Convention, and has been top salesperson at the Dannemora office seven years in a row.
With a masters degree in history, a law degree, and postgraduate qualifications in sales and marketing, Munish is uniquely qualified to be one of Auckland's top real estate salespeople.
Shveta Seth has a law degree, works in partnership in the business, and together with Munish looks after their two children.

After briefly considering a career in farming, Garth joined the business in 1959, making tea for the company accountant.
Garth went on to have an almost 60-year career, working alongside three generations of Thompsons to make Barfoot & Thompson what it is today. Retiring in 2017 to start a new career as an international triathlete, Garth has shown the same tenacity, ambition and competitive spirit that brought him considerable success in his business career.
The travel restrictions of 2020 provided an opportunity for me to catch Garth in Auckland for long enough to reflect on his business and sporting career.
