We engaged Kale to sell our 2 unit in central Tauranga. He has been very responsive and energetic throughout the sale process, which i s why we selected him. The final purchasers provide difficult to deal with, however Kale managed them well and moved the process through to successful conclusion. Kale made the effort to understand the property properly and understands the local market well.
Kale had prior experience and knowledge on certain specifics we encountered when we went to market. His confidence allowed us to adopt a different perspective and agree on the strategy he suggested. This meant we felt confident we could leave the sale in his hands. Kale was well informed about the property market and in particular about properties in our local area. His communication meant we never had to chase him, he always managed to answer the question before we asked! Kale was always on time for appointments and was professionally courteous at all times.
I invited Kale to sell my house based on his excellent ratings on this web-site. When rating an agent, it is difficult not to be heavily influenced by the final result, which in my case was quite disappointing. Three open homes did not lead to a credible bid, and eventually the house was sold 10% under his up-front market assesment. While he obviously can't be blamed for what the market is like, it did feel as if Kale had already given up on this aspired price before the first open home had even happened, and this has probably cost him a few stars in this assessment. On the good side, he seems to know his stuff, the process was overall well communicated, the sale itself was professionally handled, and Kale was willing to go out of his way to ensure some bits and pieces were handled, which was very much appreciated as I'd already left town. At the beginning I was a bit unclear about which peripheral activities his team would/would not get involved in (out of: house cleaning, photography, staging, gardening, etc) and maybe the agency could have a better network of support professionals for these, but this is just a minor point for consideration.
Kale kept us informed of all the feedback from our open homes and was very professional to deal with. Had a great outcome at the end and a price we could not turn away from. Great experience from start to finish.
Bought and sold through Kale. He exceeded expectations throughout the entire process. He was responsive, an excellent communicator, knowledgeable, helpful, and made purchase and sale incredibly easy through every stage. Also I'm pretty sure he doesn't sleep and just works.
Our dealings and communication with Kale spanned over a year. Over that period of time, we had to frequently pause negotiations due to illness in the family. Kale was always understanding and compassionate. Finally, we were able to proceed, and the Sale of our Property was an easy and successful process. We would like to thank Kale for his professional, enthusiastic and understanding manner at all times.
Communication stars and market knowledge experts!

Kale and his team were efficient, professional and got the job done. Kales professionalism was to a high standard and made the selling process flawless. Kale was very thorough with process and enabled a great outcome. Big Thankyou!
I was very impressed with Kale and the teams support through the process. It was a quick turnaround for the property and everyone was really helpful to get it over the line with ease at short notice. Would highly recommend them to anyone.
We took Kale and the teams advice for marketing and price strategy, and they have achieved a great result in a short timeframe.
When we first met Kale it seemed like things might not work out but as we dealt more with him the things got easier and we got to know him better. Things progressed at a smooth pace for us. Once things progressed, Kale was always helpful, and quick to respond. He helped arrange things at short notices and made it work. He helped us get the home faster than we thought. We could tell that he had a good understanding of the market and value. We are very happy with our purchase and our agent Kale Kirk.
