Exceptional Service and a Fantastic Result

We had a wonderful experience working with Kara to sell our home. She was friendly, professional, easy to deal with, and always helpful throughout the whole process. She made everything feel simple and stress-free, and we really appreciated her communication and support. Our house sold in a short span of time after the open home, which was an amazing result! We’re very grateful for all her hard work and would happily recommend her to anyone looking to sell their home.

Kara is warm and friendly, clear communicator and great to work with.

Kara was very helpful and informative and guided us through each part of the process. She understood our needs and communicated clearly with all parties involved. I would recommend Kara to anyone who is in the market to sell their home. Communicative and responsive, we had a great time working with her.

Buying made easy

We meet Kara when looking for an investment property. It was clear straight away that Kara was the right agent to be working with. She helped with some good advice and knowledge. Kara also referred us to some more local experts who were amazing. All in all Kara made the process so easy and stress free.

Supportive and kind

Kara was supportive, patient, flexible, and kind throughout our whole journey of selling our house. From when we first decided to put the house on the market Kara helped us be realistic with what price we might achieve for the property and identified the key areas that would add value if fixed/improved. She was super patient and not pushy while we got those things done to get ready for the market. Once listed her support continued and we truly felt like she was always doing whatever she could to get the best result for us. Kara helped us navigate the confusing terminology, the complexities of buying and selling at the same time, and in the end achieved a sale with minimal stress for us.

Kara had a good sense of the people coming through and the buyers. She was quick to respond, meet us when necessary, reprint forms and repeat information when we needed it, and never made it feel like it was out of her way or inconvenient. She made every effort to meet us in the middle and was always professional. She is encouraging and positive, and makes you feel comfortable and at ease at a vulnerable time. She is very relational which is excellent for both seller and buyer alike.

Not Just Another Typical Real Estate Agent!

Not Just Another Typical Real Estate Agent!

Kara provided many strategic options and plans before and during our market campaign. Her team also provided extraordinary service, from organising a photographer on a sunny day (after seven consecutive days of rain), to drafting S&P agreement, and following up with my solicitor (who doesn't usually respond to all emails). She also shared lots of useful contacts from cleaners, handymen, builders, solicitors, estimators, and rental managers. She prepared and presented lots of comparable transactions before and during the marketing campaign. The informative information and resources helped me to make an informed decision throughout the sale process. Kara is also a talented "Marie Kondo" in Rotorua who can help you to declutter and get rid of stuff before a sale. I highly recommend dropping her an email to have a chat, even if you are just considering selling, renting out your property, or evaluating your options for your existing home and investment properties.

Helpful, patient and integral through every step!

We are so grateful that Kara was our real estate agent for the sale of our home. We had five different appraisals and felt Kara was the best fit for us. No question was ever too small or too hard, and she always made us feel comfortable asking anything without feeling silly. This was our first time selling a house, which can feel quite daunting, but Kara made the whole process feel simple and manageable. Her communication was exceptional throughout — from finance, to open homes, to helpful suggestions, and right through to going unconditional. We are absolutely wrapped with the outcome and the timeline from listing our house to going unconditional. We truly believe this was because Kara did everything she could to give our home the best chance of selling. One thing we especially want to highlight is Kara’s integrity throughout the entire process. She was genuinely interested in the people involved and doing the right thing, not just the sale itself. Thank you, Kara! We’re so grateful for everything you did and are excited for our next adventure.

Good strategy and support

Good strategy and support

Kara came up with a strategy to sell our house quickly after we had made an offer on a new property. Her communication was clear and she guided us through the process nicely. She also must have done a great job with those who came to our first open home as we got our winning offer the next day, which was better than we could have hoped. She was also flexible with the strategy as we worked through the negotiations with the offer, bringing the process to an unconditional deal within about 21 days. Great work and thanks Kara!

Kara helped me find the perfect home, on the first try!

I feel incredibly lucky to have worked with Kara Niles. I only viewed one house, and it turned out to be the perfect one. Kara’s understanding of the local market and her ability to match my needs so precisely made the whole experience feel effortless. Her communication was clear, timely, and always thoughtful. She kept everything moving smoothly and was always one step ahead, especially when it came to reviewing building reports and making sure I had all the right information to move forward confidently. Kara’s professionalism and genuine care really stood out. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a smart, reliable agent who truly listens.
