After a wealth of experience and life-skills gained from five years living and working in the UK and Europe, I am part of the Beach Haven Barfoot & Thompson team and concentrate my business mainly on the North Shore, extending to West Harbour and beyond. Prior to this I worked in Environmental Services at NSCC and have spent considerable years in customer service and hospitality roles.My focus on customer service means that I will always go that extra mile with responsibility and accountability. My values of integrity, commitment and focus are not "for sale."In my spare time I love to paint, and the local landscape of Beach Haven provides much inspiration. I love animals and most outdoor activities, particularly fly fishing, hiking and roughing it in the great outdoors. If you can't track me down pounding the North Shore streets, you may find me tramping through unexplored bush tracks, at an art premiere, sitting with a picnic basket on the beach or fishing for trout for a summer evening barbecue.Often accused of being a workaholic, I live and breathe my career seven days a week. Real estate is not just a 9 to 5 job for me; it is a way of life and I intend to live it to the full. Challenge me, I thrive on it!
Very simple, Tess Ross needs no testimonial. Tess Ross is an exceptional real estate agent who knows her market, the needs of potential clients and is professional at what she does best, and that is selling real estate. Couldn't ask for a better agent. Thank you Tess Ross."Annette Reece, 13 Lancaster Rd, Beach Haven, Feb 2013
"I would like to thank you for your excellent service during the recent marketing and sale of my property at 22 Melba Street. I have been very impressed by your professionalism and commitment. The marketing exceeded my expectations, as did the energy of your continued efforts to secure a backup once an offer was in place." Diana Kirk

You should be very proud of her."Peter & Barbara Greenhalgh
"Just a quick email to say thank you so much for all the help and support you've given me through this long house buying process.I was ready to just give in on several occasions, but your positivity and enthusiasm kept me going.Your support throughout the whole process kept me positive, and I know my low end budget and high end standards were not ideal, but we got there in the end!!I already have recommended you to everyone I know looking to buy or sell and you'll definitely be my first port of call if, or when, I decide to start the whole process again." Lisa McTavish July 2013
"After meeting Tess in 2009 we knew she would be the one who would find us the right home. She was like a dog with a bone and would not give up, eventually finding the home, where we have been happy for the past 2.5 years. She kept occasional contact throughout that time, and due to this we have used her again recently to market and sell that same house. Tess is approachable, professional and knowledgeable about her "patch". We have recommended her to our friends who have also had success with her service and recommend her to anyone else.Many thanks Tess. S & F Kemplen. May 2012
"Tess was wonderful. Thank you sooooo much for all your hard work. This was not an easy section to sell I know, but Tess came up with the buyer when we least expected it. It has been a pleasure to work with you Tess .Thank you so much." Judi Paape PrincipalKristin Junior School
This is to testify that Tess has been a ‘God send’ to me, selling my unit. Being in my 70’s, and nervous, she smoothed the way to calm my fears and I can now face my future outside Auckland.Not only has Tess been like a good friend, but her expertise is beyond question, and I feel very lucky to have had Tess by my side all the way. Always an optimist, she is brilliant and knows her job backwards."I would have no hesitation in recommending Tess to anyone. Olga Mather
