Ray Qu started his real estate career in 2008 and has worked in Barfoot & Thompson’s Central, Eastern and Southern offices. He has since been very successful in his career and in his first year in the industry, sold 22 properties to a value above $10 million. This was a major achievement especially in the tough market during that time.

Now working for the Browns Bay branch, Ray’s success continues. His success not driven by luck but through a structured, focused work ethic, a ‘never give up’ attitude and not to mention strong negotiation skills.

His decision to join the Browns Bay branch was driven by his strong belief that the North Shore (Bay area) is an upcoming area with great potential for first home buyers and investors. Working for Barfoot & Thompson offers him a wealth of knowledge from over 1300 other salespeople working together to help find you your dream home. Ray knows this area and the wider Auckland real estate market well offering you insight into the area that would best suit you.

Ray came to New Zealand in 1997 and completed a Bachelor of Science (double major) at the University of Otago. He then ran a photo shop and copy centre in Epsom and Remuera. His experience specialising in photos, flyers, signage and catalogues enables him to put effective marketing material together for his clients.

Ray also holds a Bachelor of Engineering degree from Shenyang University of Technology. He worked in China for a top industrial instrumentation factory (Technology and Sales Department) for over ten years and this background helped him develop strong skills in marketing, public relationship, client service and negotiation.

Ray loves his job and is true and sincere in his approach. Working very hard to build a solid reputation among his clients, his focus is to impress. If you are thinking of buying or selling, Ray would love to help you through it.

"Being overseas ,we selected 5-6 agents/agencies to send us appraisals for our property prior to us deciding to put it on the market for sale, and Ray’s was the most enthusiastic, prompt and positive appraisal we received. We found him very motivated and comfortable to work with. He kept us well informed on the progress and responded to emails promptly.

Towards the latter part of the sale when we were not happy with the prices offered by various potential buyers, we decided to take the property off the market and place it on rent. Ray did not lose his motivation and kept at it and managed to get us a buyer at the eleventh hour.

Having a rental contract signed up with the Rent shop and a renter ready to move in and a sale offer by Ray in the other hand was a tough decision for us. We decided to go for the sale as Ray convinced up it was a better option via his email explaining the sale option against the rental option in detail

In conclusion it was a good experience working with Ray and we definitely would recommend him to our friends."
