Kate is amazing, she goes above and beyond for her clients . She is professional but friendly at the same time. Her warm manner makes you feel like you are in great hands. She is helpful and kept in contact through out the whole process. We have used different companies in the past (Ray White & Bayleys ) and Arizto's and Kate's services were much better than these companies. We would reccomened Kate to any of our friends and family.
There's not many occasions I would bother writing a review for anyone but Kate absolutely deserves an 5 star review. This was our first home buy and as everyone know this is a very exciting but very stressful experience. we have been looking for houses for very long time and we have met tons and tons of agents along the way. some good but some not so good. when we met Kate we knew she is honest about everything and also a person very easy to work with. as I remember we put an offer through on the same day we met her. she helped us a lot through the process but without being one of those annoying agent. she was extremely proffesional and very on time on all the requests we had from her. I would definitely work with her again with knowing her best interest is to look after her clients as best as she can. can't recommend enough to anyone else who needs her service. Thank you Kate for helping us make our first home dream come true.
Kate was great to work with. Her knowledge of the house was extensive right from the first open home. While it wasn’t an easy sell, Kate worked tirelessly to get it over the line for both parties. She was professional yet gave some personal tips and opinions which helped us see the houses potential
Kate was immediately warm and friendly, while maintaining a professional approach. She explained the Aritzo process (online offer), stayed in regular contact (but not too much), offered practical advice throughout, and even went as far as mowing the lawn to ensure we had a good moving-in experience.
Kate is an excellent communicator, and understood our (rather delicate) situation straight away. She was sensitive to our emotional attachment to our home of many years; at the same time hard-nosed about the financial realities. She brought strong knowledge of the market in Christchurch, including the right moves to allay any lingering worries from the Earthquakes.
Kate is a very approachable and flexible real estate agent. She was helpful and available throughout the sale process. She always gave timely feedback and made a successful sale. The marketing photos were also excellent. I would highly recommend Kate.
Kate gave us helpful, well researched sales information in 2019 and 2020. When we engaged her to sell in 2021 and told her we were serious this time, Kate was straight into action, involved and enthusiastic. She gave us excellent advice and showed warmth and diplomacy in dealing with neighbours in adjoining flats and even across the street. We were astonished when she brought her weed eater to tidy the land belonging to a terminally ill owner. Her can do attitude was reflected in the speed of the sale, in spite some resistance from the sitting tenant. I believe the timing of the sale was crucial to her obtaining a price far above our expectations. I cannot recommend Kate too highly. She is straight and direct in dealing with information, yet sensitive and tactful in dealing with people. I am delighted she enabled first time home buyers to secure the property. Kate made the process of selling easy and pleasant. I recommend Kate and Aristo wholeheartedly. The flat fee was the icing on the cake!
Kate communicated with us every step of the way through our house sale and was professional in all her interactions with us. Although she was not familiar with the area, she did her homework to increase her knowledge of the local community. Kate seemed very thorough and encouraging throughout the process. A pleasure to deal with and we have already recommended her to others.
Kate from the first time we spoke to her put us at ease with her knowledge and experience in this market. What impressed us most though was her genuine caring way of dealing with us oldies who had zero experience in selling a home. Kate went above and beyond what we would have expected and spent an extraordinary amount of time preparing us to sell. We couldn’t have managed this without her patience and time she spent really getting us results that exceeded our expectations.
Kate was a dream to work with, very knowledgeable, communicated and kept us up to date at all times. If I sold again I would not use another agent - I would go straight to Kate.
We recently purchased a property Kate was the listing agent for and it was a seamless purchase, with Kate readily available to honestly answer all questions we had and make the process super efficient and easy. Nothing was too much trouble and Kate was very friendly and easy to deal with, both during and after the purchase.
We were extremely happy with the very seamless process of the sale of our unique property which sold a lot quicker than we anticipated. Kate did an amazing job with the marketing, presented it in the best way possible and we benefited immensely from this. Communication is certainly one of her strong points and at no point did we have to do the chasing. This is our second involvement with Kate, the first was with a purchase where we received the same professionalism - we will certainly seek her out if we require an agent again.
