We were out of town buyers looking to buy a property in Kerikeri and Barb Linton was the listing agent. Barb made the whole process exceptionally easy - she was in constant communication with us and gave us other options to view the house when bad weather meant our flight couldn't land. Would absolutely recommend Barb to anyone looking to buy and sell property in the Far North - she is honest and works hard for her sellers and buyers.
Hi Barb and Nathan, Thanks for the effort you both put into the process and the timing luck we had with the new place being vacant! Settling in pretty well but moving ain't for the faint hearted or elderly!! We are more than happy with you as a team if you are looking for referrals at any time. D 'n A.

Barb was very pro-active in getting interest in our property. She kept us well informed of how open homes/viewings/negotiations were progressing and went above and beyond in assisting with a small leak that occurred during the heavy rains. We would have no hesitation in recommending her to other vendors. Thanks Barb and the whole Ray White Kerikeri team!
