Katie has worked with us twice now on two properties on the waterways at Pauanui, and our experience has been excellent. This sale has been a tough market for us all to navigate and she has kept us fully informed along the way and ensured our experience as vendors was easy and seamless. Would highly recommend. We are very happy with the result.
After the initial marketing campaign and no response or offers , we came up with a new marketing idea. This wasn't as successful as hoped, but Kate was on the ball and took people that were after other properties to view mine. Though it wasn't the figure I was hoping for, after much thought I decided it was time to move on and accepted the (only) offer. Thanks Alyce, Kate and team .
"Kate has been amazing. Her guidance and support throughout the entire process have been invaluable. She possesses a friendly, easy-going manner that I truly appreciated, and she is extremely efficient. If anyone is looking for a great agent, Kate is your lady! 😀"
Kate has been amazing with helping us purchase in pauanui. Her knowledge of the area is second to none, she really has gone the next level to make this work for us. We have never had an agent work so hard to make our dream come true.
Kate was very good with communication and going out of her way to contact leads which eventually lead to a sale. Kate was encouraging me to ask for more and did her best to get a higher price but with a downturn in the market it was difficult. I wanted a quick sale for another project so I lowered my price to meet the market.
Katie’s market knowledge and professionalism were excellent.
Alyce was a pleasure to deal with. Her manner, confidence, maturity and professional approach persuaded me from first meeting to engage her. She was realistic, thoughtful and competent throughout the process. Her advice was free of hyperbole, sensible on price and time frames, and of high quality. She confidently and expertly managed a compromise deal, in the heat of an auction, which was fair to all parties. Her communications were frequent, relevant, with good attention to detail. Excellent to deal with and highly recommended.
Great to deal with kept us well informed and very approachable Over estimate of market initially but able to get a satisfactory deal done in good time frame
Katie and her team were amazing, guiding us for over a year to find our dream holiday home in Pauanui. From the start, we met Katie and were struck by her friendly, professional approach — her calm confidence instantly put us at ease. As we didn’t live locally, she became our go-to person, tirelessly presenting new listings, off-market gems, and properties she thought we’d love. We did numerous day trips to Pauanui, where she’d show us through half a dozen houses in an afternoon. What stood out was Katie’s patience. Over the year, our ideas and “must-haves” evolved, yet she never made us feel like a burden. She listened, adapted, and kept the process stress-free, even as we refined our search. Katie’s genuine nature shone through — she was never pushy, never spoke ill of vendors despite their sometimes lofty price expectations, and her local knowledge was really appreciated, from pointing out great locations to offering practical advice. We’re thrilled with our holiday home and owe it all to Katie. She made a daunting process enjoyable, and we’d choose her again in a heartbeat if we ever sold — though we have no plans to let this place go! If you’re buying or selling, Katie’s the one to call — her outstanding service is unmatched.
