Cara in a great RE agent

Cara in a great RE agent

When i first saw the Cairnmuir Cres house i knew it was the one for me. Cara had previously shown me a house in the area that wasn't quite right, so i already knew her from that. I ended up spending several months looking for a new house and chose the Cairnmuir house in the end for its location, views, and size, even though it was quite a bit older than most of the other houses I had considered. I visited the house several times before making the decision to buy and Cara was always welcoming and respectful of my situation: I depended on the private sale of my own house, which took a lot longer than I expected. I relied a lot on Cara for her knowledge of house buying stages and processes. We touched base at least weekly for a long time. Cara didn't ever push me into doing anything I wasn't completely happy with and she explained the processes at each step of the way. I would completely trust Cara to assist me in real estate decisions if I ever have to make them again in the future.

Having had a great deal to do with real estate agents in NZ of late on both sides, selling and purchasing, I wish all real estate agents were half as hungry, half as informative, half as motivated as Cara has been through the heartbreaking process of selling our family holiday home of 52 years. I simply cannot fault her in everything she did for us. It is a privilege to offer this review. Keep up your amazing work Cara, thank you once again from the bottom of my heart.

We recently sold our rental property in Cromwell, Cara Shanks gave us great marketing advice, communication through the whole selling process was excellent with daily updates when needed and then gave us awesome support through the auction process by being online with us as it all happened. I would not hesitate to recommend selling your property with Cara Shanks.

Communication with Cara was quick and easy on the many occasions we spoke. There was plenty of back and forth. My counters were questioned but I believe always conveyed to the seller along with my views. Likewise I received the same. Post the agreement on rates, Cara was excellent in assisting with the handover of the property and continues to be. I would utilise Cara as my agent again. I am happy with her service and the end result.
