Nick graduated from Massey University in 2013 with a Bachelor of business studies majoring in Finance and Valuation and Property Management and he’s since been a high-performing member of the Barfoot & Thompson North Shore Commercial team where he has specialised in office Leasing and investment sales.
Being involved in hundreds of sales and lease transactions throughout the years has given Nick a wealth of knowledge in the commercial industry but he prides himself most on his determination, high energy and positive attitude which he believes are the most important when dealing with his clients and separating himself from his competitors. “I’m always aiming to achieve record-breaking results but what’s most important is that my clients experience is positive and they want to work with me again in the future”.
Nick believes his determined and competitive nature comes from his background in Rugby and Cricket where he represented both North Harbour and Auckland, respectively, at age-group levels and his love for both sports came from being part of a team and consistently developing his skills. It is the same attributes he brings to his role in commercial real estate.
Nick recently became a father to daughter Greer and he loves spending time with his family outside of Auckland, often in Whangamata or Taupo, where watersports or snowboarding are top of mind and the occasional round of golf with friends and clients is a close second.

Max specialises primarily in investment sales and corporate leasing on Auckland’s North Shore. Over a period of more than six years, he has established a long track record of exceptional outcomes over hundreds of transactions with Barfoot & Thompson Commercial.
Dedication to delivering the best possible result for any client who chooses to work with him, his commitment to market knowledge and maintaining a world class database, allows him to deliver exceptional outcomes across the board.
Max graduated from the University of Auckland in 2011 with a Bachelor of Commerce degree majoring in marketing; a valuable skill set which is leveraged to ensure each property is presented in the absolute best light, and with maximum exposure through targeted channels.
Outside of work, Max is mostly on the water; sailing, surfing, foiling, kitesurfing, and fishing. Given the North Shores coastal location, you’ll be hard pressed to find a stronger advocate for commercial property north of the bridge which is reflected in his knowledge and enthusiasm within the sector.
We work with both Tenants and Landlords to assist with their leasing requirements and building vacancies in the office sector as well as connecting relevant service providers such design and fit-out companies, tradesmen and furniture providers.
When working with Landlords, presenting their building in the best light and through the most appropriate marketing channels is key, but equally important is taking a proactive approach and leveraging our extensive database of companies in a targeted fashion; a strategy that separates us from our competitors and often leads to a successful tenant placement.
When working with Tenants on their specific commercial requirements, our goal is to provide a complete service to ensure the best office solution. We help companies refine their ideal requirement, and then provide them with a detailed range of options suitable to their needs which we can do exclusively to take the hassle out of the process, giving the Tenant all the info they need to make an informed decision while letting them focus on their day-to-day business.
Commercial property investments appeal to a large market of investors. Over the years, through running successful marketing campaigns we have developed a significant database of local investors and developers that we’re able to tap into to gain exceptional results through a competitive marketing process.
Whether the properties are large or small, tenanted or vacant, through the correct campaign method directed at the right audience, most often, the best results are gained through buyer competition.
Albany’s commercial landscape has hundreds of unit-titled, office developments that change ownership frequently. We have been involved in many sales throughout the years and we’re able to draw on this experience to connect sellers with buyers efficiently and achieve excellent results.
Navigating through hundreds of listings online to find a new space for your company to lease can be challenging. We can work on your behalf to make the process easy as possible to ensure you’re presented with all the options to make an informed decision when deciding to stay or relocate premises.
Depending on the size of your company, it may be suitable to start this process anywhere from six to eighteen months out from the current renewal date.
Space requirements
We ensure you spend time upfront to determine your ideal space requirements. Through evaluating current work place strategies, fitout requirements, industry benchmarks and understanding what is unique to your business we develop a detailed accommodation brief.
Proven processes
With an understanding of your requirements, we canvass the market for the most suitable relocation options. We then engage both prospective landlords and your current landlord in order to achieve the optimal outcome in the shortest space of time.
Leverage
The concise brief of your requirement goes to landlords with buildings that meet your needs. Landlords are then given a time frame to respond. The competitive process involving numerous building owners often produces a good selection of competitive terms for consideration.
Total market coverage
Our comprehensive property knowledge of Auckland allows us to cover the whole market. We have an excellent relationship with all of the landlords in and around the area who own property suitable to your requirements.
One point of contact
Working in a partnership, we provide consistent and accurate information to you. We find this method to be far superior as you are not hearing different versions of events or conflicting information from multiple parties. Landlords prefer to deal with an agency that has been appointed by the tenant.
