About Karen

Being concerned about the welfare of others has been my lifelong commitment and being involved in real estate allows me to do that as a continuation of my past career. From the time I was quite young I have been heavily involved in caring for elderly, making sure all their needs were met, communicating with families and managing change. It seemed natural to me that when I was offered the opportunity to come into real estate as early as 1993, I could and would transfer these important skills over to assist people to make decisions that are life changing. I thoroughly enjoyed the responsibility of ensuring needs were met, so moving into real estate meant nothing changed. I ensure my clients are well taken care of, the process of selling and buying property is well managed and that the decisions they are making are not treated lightly. Communication is such an important element of my business that I make it a priority. Since I first started in real estate in 1993 I have loved the interaction with my clients. I know that most of my ongoing business comes from repeat and referral business and that gives me a great sense of satisfaction. Katikati is home now and has been since 1996. My family is grown up and I have been blessed with two beautiful granddaughters. I enjoy the community and making a positive difference in people’s lives. My dedication to my job, and associate success along with my ongoing training, ensures that you are working with a competent negotiator and marketer - which I feel is important during your real estate journey - in order to achieve the best possible results. If you want results from a dedicated agent then you need to work with me. My Strengths are: Honesty and reliability, I am approachable, positive, assertive and driven with my focus being on getting you where you want to be. The benefits to you are that you can be sure that I will be working very hard to get the best possible result in the quickest possible time for you. I l

Purchase of a Lovey Village

Excellent service from Karen and I would certainly engage her again. Karen had been discharged from hospital the night before I asked to view my unit and was still so ill, we had to drive her to the location. The property had two other offers on it and I was thrilled when Karen to me I had won the bid. I found Karen very efficient and her knowledge of the area was excellent. There were some hiccoughs with the purchase (on my side only) and Karen ensured things ran smoothly. Karen called to see me after I moved in and gave me a lovely bottle of wine and a voucher from an excellent garden centre. Both were very much appreciated. Well done Karen, you made the experience of house buying so smooth and I am absolutely 100% happy with my purchase. Thank you

Great, spot on Karen got my house price spot on.

Karen was super friendly & valued my house spot on, I got the exact asking price. Chris took over selling my house in Waihi, built up the interest & I had several asking price offers to choose from . I would recommend The Tall Poppy Team to any one,they are a great team to work with.

A great Agent

Karen was great to deal with regarding selling my property. I would use her again without hesitation and would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling property.

Karen was very helpful and sympathetic to our needs .

Karen priced the house a bit higher than was attractive to buyers who were slow to pick up at that range. However after some waiting we sold at the level we were comfortable with.

Used Karen twice for sale of succesive properties

Karen is well established and known for residential property sales within Katikati and its surrounding district. She has a pleasant personality and is very easy to get along with. I consider her to be well versed in the rules and requirements of her profession. In addition I have found her to be hardworking, realistic and persistent. I appointed Karen in 2015 and 2019 to market our property in the town, with pleasing results on each occasion. Karen should be on your consideration list when contemplating who to appoint when you wish to sell your property.
