Karen was fantastic to work with. She's personable, easy to deal with,and kept communication clear and timely throughout. The whole process was smooth and efficient, with a great result achieved in a short time frame. High recommend.
We used Karen as our buyer's agent when looking for a home in Mount Maunganui and she was genuinely exceptional. Her knowledge of the local market is extensive — she knew the area inside out and had a really clear sense of what we were looking for from early on. She never pushed us towards anything outside our comfort zone or tried to upsell us on something that wasn't right for our family. When we found the right property, Karen guided us through making an offer in a way that felt both strategic and reassuring. She knew exactly how to structure the agreement — enticing enough to be taken seriously, but with the conditions that mattered to us ensuring we were properly protected. She went well above and beyond throughout the whole process. If you're buying in the Mount, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.
Your professional advice, personal kindness, tenacity, generous support, consistent communication, attention to detail with an upbeat and open minded attitude has been unwavering and fully appreciated. We have really valued working with you over these few months. We would "very highly" recommend you to anyone looking for an agent in the future. Your open attitude to working over Christmas with the apartment in the rental pool, (that you advised us on, to go for it), while offering to liaise with us and the management staff at Pacific Palms in-between short term rentals was above and beyond. Not to mention dealing with helping prospective buyers "get their head around" the body corporate fees structure, and benefits of having extra amenities, up-keep of property, security, privacy, and lock and leave options, whether they owned and lived privately or placed in rental pool for added income. You totally understood what was on offer from the get-go.
Before selling my home, Karen worked tirelessly to help us find a property in the area we were looking for. Although we ultimately purchased a home from another agent, I was consistently impressed by Karen's dedication and hard work. When I did list my home with Karen, I trusted her suggested method of sale and was ecstatic when I had an offer after just 7 days which resulted in the sale. Karen's professionalism and genuine care for her clients make her an outstanding real estate agent. If you're in need of assistance with buying or selling a property, I highly recommend reaching out to Karen. You won't be disappointed!
I would certainly recommend Karen as an agent she worked hard to sell my house in a tough market , always communicated with me throughout the sale process and after open homes Karen has a good knowledge of the market and always followed up on potential buyers I have no hesitation in recommending Karen and thanks for your hard work
We loved working with Karen and ended up with an excellent result at auction! Highly recommend.
Marketing was rather basic due to it being a bare section however appreciate the work and advertising in order to be able to get a buyer.
Karen went above and beyond in making sure we had all the information we needed to speed up our due diligence process. Her local knowledge was particularly helpful as we were purchasing from outside the area.
We’ve now sold two houses with Karen and we wouldn’t go with anyone else. She makes the whole process smooth, stress free and is genuinely enthusiastic and interested in the details of your home! Karen also recently sold a friend's house and they had the same amazing experience, which only reinforced what we already knew...she’s fantastic at what she does. Trustworthy, reliable and supportive whether you’re buying or selling. We’ll continue to use Karen for future sales and recommend her to anyone looking for an agent who you can trust AND truly delivers. Thanks again Karen, Cass + J
We had signed up for another agency and had 10 open homes. The campaign was slow and we were receiving low ball offers. Our agent then quit her job and we were left without an agent and were incredibly deflated. Karen had sold the house across the street from us, so we got her in knowing that she was familiar with our area and had success in the past. Right away she understood our situation and had faith that she could sell our beautiful home. Bayleys worked as a team and rather than having just one agent, we had a large team that worked together and supported each other. Karen and Shelley (the dream team) sold our home within two open homes and for a fair and reasonable price. If we sell our home in the future, we will be signing up for Bayleys again. We would highly recommend Karen for anyone selling in the Pāpāmoa area!
Karen works with honesty and integrity, breaking away from the typical estate agent stereotypes. She genuinely has her clients' best interest at heart and goes the extra mile to help you secure your dream home. We felt safe, supported and, truly cater for in Karen's hands - no question went unanswered. Thankfully, our house hunt is over, but if we ever found ourselves in this position again, we wouldn't hesitate for a moment to call on Karen.
From the moment I was ready to buy a property in Tauranga after selling my property in Auckland, Karen invested her time and energy into helping me find the right property. Karen is a true professional with a great work ethic and a friendly, approachable demeanor. She always puts her clients front and center. I would highly recommend her as an agent, whether you are selling or buying your biggest asset!
