To be robust and resilient, and actually emerge with accolades over a career spanning more than two-decades (and still ongoing), is testament to the qualities of Leila. The Auckland property market has been through crests, and troughs, new accommodation styles, expansion and diversification. Leila has seen it all, and emerged triumphant. Truly a necessary companion in any property process.

Leila's outstanding sales records and achievements confirm her commitment to delivering the very best professional and personal service to her clients. It is this commitment that has led her to be twice bestowed the honour of REINZ salesperson of the year, be inducted into the Barfoot & Thompson Hall of Fame in 2008 and be awarded numerous other real estate awards throughout her career.

Leila has developed quite a reputation for integrity, honesty and a keen insight into the property market. She complements these renowned qualities with a firm work ethic and ability to achieve the best return on investment.

Thoroughly family-oriented, Leila is careful to find the right balance between her work and personal life. Quality, family time is important to her and she always encourages this time to listen and connect. She is also heavily involved in her community, being a part of the Life Education Trust and helping with various Barfoot & Thompson charity events.

Being caring and empathetic to her clients' needs, is one way that she develops their trust and respect. She is all about working for the individual and helping them reach their goal. Leila can easily relate to a variety of people and loves working with diverse people from all walks of life. She especially enjoys the challenge of marketing different styles of houses in all different price brackets.

"We have a serious commitment to achieving the best possible prices for our clients. I believe in dealing with all clients and prospective customers with absolute respect and in the importance of maintaining total confidentiality.” Leila MacDonald

What my clients say

The most important and valuable asset which many people own is their home. Hence it is so essential to be very careful when reflecting on the choice of real estate salespeople when selling. From our perspective we decided to choose ‘The Biggest and also The Best’ which without doubt for us, was Barfoot & Thompson combined with Leila and David MacDonald. What an amazing team they have proved to be. Without any doubts, our choices have been inspirational. With many years of experience and background knowledge, Leila and David have both been excellent. The price they obtained exceeded our wildest expectations. They have been so supportive and also demonstrated very clear thinking when required at such a stressful time. We have no hesitation in recommending them to all prospective vendors. Warmest regards.

The biggest decision we had to make in selling our home was to choose a saleperson who not only knew the local market, but also knew the worth of our property. It was a no-brainer to engage Remuera’s “Queen of Real Estate” Leila MacDonald. When we started to lose faith in a fickle market, David and Leila never did, taking a no-nonsense approach, successfully selling our property on auction day and meeting our price expectations. Great job Leila and David.
