Barfoot & Thompson celebrates Diwali

Barfoot & Thompson celebrates the cultural diversity of Auckland City next month by sponsoring the annual Diwali Festival of Lights on October 27 & 28.

Diwali is fast becoming a popular fixture on Auckland’s cultural calendar and the annual Diwali Festival now regularly attracts more than 100,000 people to this colourful celebration featuring the best of India from spicy cuisine to traditional music to the hugely popular Bollywood dance competition.

Director Peter Thompson says Barfoot & Thompson is pleased to reinforce its commitment to Auckland’s ethnic communities.

“Auckland is home to New Zealand’s most ethnically diverse population and Barfoot & Thompson is proud to have a similarly diverse team of salespeople representing at least 37 different ethnicities. Of our top 10 salespeople, seven were born outside New Zealand.”

“Not only has Barfoot & Thompson helped a number of new migrants establish very successful real estate careers, we have also helped countless migrant families find their first home in our city.”

“We have a clear goal to maintain our position as the real estate company of choice in Auckland and that includes being the real estate company of choice for the city’s many ethnic communities.”

Barfoot & Thompson looks forward to being part of this year’s colourful family focused Diwali celebration.
