James Doole

With years of experience in real estate sales and property development, I have extensive knowledge and a large skillset which my clients have benefitted from throughout the years. 

My job is to market your home in a way where it stands out from the competition, attracts the most appropriate buyers and creates a competitive environment to ensure you the best possible outcome. My goal is to exceed your expectations in every part of the journey.

Every home deserves an exclusive strategy and an independent marketing plan. My personalised approach to every home I market, assures you a tailor-made experience matching your specific needs and expectations.

In addition to my real estate expertise, I have a background in high-end interior design. I set up a major interior design brand, where I customised and created many luxury homes, and managed a development company building multi-unit townhouse developments in New Zealand. This experience has given me a unique perspective on what buyers are looking for and enables me to provide you with guidance on how best to present your home to attract the most appropriate buyers.

I have chosen to work from Barfoot & Thompson Remuera, where all my clients benefit from my truly professional colleagues and a support network that services the largest numbers of qualified buyers in the region.

I will be working between the Central Eastern Suburbs and Ti Point/Matakana, with my main focus on Remuera. I am very excited about this opportunity to show my skills, attitude and dedication towards providing you with an exceptional customer service.

I aim to go above and beyond to ensure you an experience never seen before.
