About Kylee
Selling a home is a big deal and you deserve the best price for yours. Partnering with the right person is key to achieving this. I am that person. I strive to make the process enjoyable for you while providing you with expert information and perspectives to help you achieve the best price. I’ll make suggestions that can enhance the perceived value of the home. In addition, I’ll explore all possible ways to draw attention to your home. Due to the rapid changes in the market, you need someone who has their finger on the pulse. That’s why I offer the most current market information drawing on a wide variety of sources. During my career as a flight attendant I developed skills that you will experience when working with me. Being focused, energetic, and dedicated are qualities I’ll bring to you along with honesty and taking care of people with the utmost professionalism. As a mother of three children and supporting my husband with our dairy farming business, I am accustomed to long hours, hard work and multi-tasking. The Waikato region holds a special place in my heart. In my free time, I enjoy playing tennis or participating in my children’s sports communities. I welcome the opportunity to meet with you in person or chat over the phone if you wish. No matter where you are in your buying or selling journey, I would love to be able to assist you.

Absolute Superstar!!

Absolute Superstar!!

Brenda and the Rise Realty team showed exceptional market knowledge and commerciality when it came to getting our home on the market. The council CV's came out the week after we listed and this could have derailed our process quite easily (and a few buyers tried their luck!). Brenda's skill and experience made sure the value was well understood for the property and we nailed a contract in under 3 months at a price we were very happy with - and approx $250k higher than other well known agents projections - so clearly we had the best agent on the job! Thanks Team Rise Realty!!

Exceptional Sales Service!

Brenda and the Rise Realty team showed highest possible professionalism and the best sales service we have ever had from a real Estate Agent - and we have worked with many over the years! Her commerciality and knowledge of the end to end process made the purchase exceptionally easy, even with the unexpected hitting us in the 11th hour! Hugely grateful :)

Rise Real Estate took the stress out of selling!

Rise Real Estate took the stress out of selling!

Working with Rise Real Estate to sell our house has been an absolute pleasure. From start to finish, they made the entire process incredibly easy and stress-free. All the advice was always spot on, clear, informative, and tailored to our specific situation. Rise Real Estate’s expertise and professionalism were evident in every step, and all communication kept us fully informed throughout without feeling lost. We couldn’t be happier with the result and highly recommend Rise Real Estate to anyone looking to sell their property. Thank you, for the outstanding service!

Brenda is the best! She is very efficient, goes above and beyond and delivers exactly what you need

We couldn't thank Brenda enough for the support and knowledge around purchasing our newly built home. We first meet Brenda at one of the many open homes and she was the only agent who put in the time and effort to personally show us around Te Awamutu and the options available. We lived out of town so it was difficult to get over and Brenda made it all work without question she was there. She had a lot of knowledge about the area and advice and understood what we were looking for. There were a lot of time pressures but Brenda had such great communication and organizational skills to keep us informed each step of the way, and kept us on track with the least amount of stress. Brenda is super approachable and friendly in her delivery, she never made us feel like we couldn't ask her something and she does go above and beyond, she was always a phone call away. You won't be disappointed with her service we highly recommend her. Thanks again.
