About Genene Aston

If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing well!

Barfoot & Thompson is a trusted brand with core values and market-leading technology that make them the standout choice in the industry.

The skills I’ve gained as a customer consultant for a major bank, a mortgage and insurance advisor in my own business and client services in our family-owned financial advisory business, relate well to my career in real estate. I am 100% focussed on understanding my clients’ needs, clearly setting out their options to enable them to make informed decisions, then implementing the agreed strategy with enthusiasm and commitment to obtain the best possible outcome.

Having bought my current home in a new development in Orewa in 2016, I am happy to call the Hibiscus Coast home. The lifestyle here is perfect for both young and old. The development in the area has been phenomenal, particularly over the past 10 years – I remember when the Northern motorway ended at Greville Road!

Previously, Auckland’s North Shore was my home for 17 years. During that time I oversaw the renovations of two properties and also a new build – my organisational skills and sharp eye for detail made it a very exciting and rewarding experience.

Since my husband and I emigrated from South Africa in 1999, we have faced many of the usual challenges that come with re-establishing oneself in a new country. However, these challenges have made me the capable and goal-driven person that I am today. Owning property helped us to regain the financial strength we lost when we emigrated. My second language is Afrikaans.

If you’re looking for a salesperson with a professional, but down-to-earth approach, who will give you top-notch advice and keep you informed every step of the way, then look no further!
