Lara Robus

I love real estate and the excitement that comes from meeting people from all walks of life, the thrill of being involved in their life-changing decisions, the challenges involved and the continuous learning. My goal is to make the process as enjoyable as possible for my clients and support them through the buying and selling process.

My working background includes sales and marketing, small business owner and sailing around the world on superyachts. When you have an insight into peoples’ characters, as I have in past roles, it’s much easier to understand their needs and goals and deliver on what they are looking for.

I’ve met a number of salespeople over the years from the Kerikeri branch when buying and selling myself, so joining the team at Barfoot & Thompson Kerikeri was an exciting next step for me. It’s a friendly supportive environment that came highly recommended.

I’m a people person, an empathetic listener with excellent communication skills and I strive to provide solutions.

Being a wife and a mother to an active seven-year old keeps me busy and on my toes. I’ve lived in Kerikeri for 10 years now and I adore the outdoor lifestyle that the Bay of Islands has to offer - on and off the water. Sailing is still a big passion of mine and I love spending time with my family, friends and pets.

Live a life you don't need a holiday from!

I can’t wait to meet you. Give me a call for your free, no obligation appraisal and let’s start your next real estate journey together.
