Above and Beyond

Right from the start, I appreciated Karen’s enthusiasm and quick responses with all the details I needed. She had some great insights about how to present my house in the best light and the set dressing she helped arrange looked amazing. I was out of Auckland during the sale process and she always kept me up-to-date with what was happening. Then when we had some surprises from the Council, she went above and beyond helping me to sort the issues out. I definitely got lucky having Karen as my agent!

Expert guidance and unwavering support

As first-time homebuyers, we felt very overwhelmed by the property market, unsure of where to begin. After hearing a glowing recommendation from a friend, we got in touch with Karen. Right from the start it was clear that we were in capable and caring hands. Her dedication was evident. She took us to view many homes and was patient with us while we learnt what worked for us and what didn’t. She constantly refined the shortlist of properties and showed us homes we wouldn’t have had access to otherwise. She explained each step of the buying process and worked tirelessly to find any information we needed. When we found a place that we loved, Karen went to bat for us during negotiations, she had our back! Thanks to her expertise and unwavering support we were able to purchase our first home – and we couldn’t be happier. Karen's genuine care and commitment makes her an outstanding real estate agent. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell. Thank you, Karen!

5 stars for Karen Leithead!!

Karen Leithead sold my house earlier this year. She’s amazing. The process was new and daunting for me, and she worked me through it with professionalism, clarity, care, and a fab sense of humour. I sold at a hectic time personally, and Karen’s support in preparing and showcasing my home was more than I expected. She went above and beyond, offering her time and expertise to help me out. She is knowledgeable and personable and really put me at ease. I’d highly recommend! Give her a call!

Top-notch communication!

Top-notch communication!

Karen was able to achieve a better result for us than we had initially thought possible, on top of the amazing result, the process was very smooth. A fantastic ability to both actively and proactively communicate at every step of the process meant we were never left wondering what’s going on. She had a brilliant market knowledge which helped us immensely given the unique circumstances of our sale. I would strongly recommend Karen, she will go the extra mile to achieve the best results for you!

If you're looking for the best...

If you're looking for the best...

...then stop your search at Karen. You won't find an agent who cares more (and it shows), will fight harder or go the extra mile for their clients more than Karen. To say that she took a tremendous amount of pressure off of me throughout the selling / buying process would be an understatement. Her total transparency, willingness to patiently answer every question (often more than once) and kindly proffer advice (when asked) was very much appreciated. I got the price I wanted on my sale, and I got the house and price I wanted on my buy. I have already done so twice and will continue to recommend Karen to anyone I know who is looking for an agent. It can be said that business is devoid of compassion and personality. Karen is the antithesis of that. F. Scott Fitzgerald said that "personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures". Well, Karen has personality down pat. Who she is as a person shines through and engenders trust. My trust was repaid. Gold star, Karen! Thank you. :)

Awesome house sale process.

Awesome house sale process.

I engaged Karen to market and sell my property in Glenfield in September 2024. Throughout the whole process Karen kept me up to date. I found her to be knowledgeable about the marketing process and what best suited my situation. She was always very professional. She dealt with my tenant in a very courteous manner and her communication with them helped during the process. The property sold after a short marketing period with a great result for all parties. I would recommend Karen to other vendors and would not hesitate in using her again.

Excellent result, awesome agent to work with.

Excellent result, awesome agent to work with.

Karen worked side-by-side with us to get the house ready for market. She spent a lot of time helping clean, tidy and stage the house for the photos and open homes. Karen offered expert advice on the marketing options and sale process. Karen goes beyond what you would expect from a real estate agent to ensure the process is seamless and stress-free. We would happily engage Karen again to help us buy or sell another property.

Great result in a difficult market

Great result in a difficult market

Karen did a fantastic job and went well above and beyond what we had expected. Karen assisted with suggesting and organising minor work to be completed to ensure the property was presented and showcast in its best light. Karen's communication was great and 'we were kept well informed of potential buyer feedback allowing us to make quick decisions to adjust our campaign as required. Most importantly Karen's hard work secured us an unconditional buyer within just a few weeks of the campaign commencing which was a great result with many other properties going unsold. We would definitely sell through Karen again should the opportunity arise.

Great to work with!

Karen expertly guided us through the selling experience and made the whole process a lot easier. She was always available when we needed her and provided clear and consistent communication about open homes, pricing options and next steps. We really appreciated her expertise and support during what could have otherwise been a very stressful time!

FIRST CLASS

FIRST CLASS

From the first day we met Karen, she started working for us (weeks before we signed the formal "engagement contract from Barfoot & Thompson)... Her knowledge, her vision, the selling potential of our property she could see it all before we ever could. Apart from being such an awesome person, kind, understanding, her conduct at all times was highly professional, she even volunteered her own time to help us out with the "grunt" work if needed. We found ourselves blessed with Karen as our Agent, she staged our property with such professional prowess that we sold it within a month. We are extremely grateful for all that she had done for us for the months leading up to the sale, a lot of setbacks but she was with us all the way with her back up team. We could write a book on Karen's talents as a Real Estate Agent. We highly recommend Karen, she is the best!, awesome in every way - you would miss out on a lot if you don't have her as your agent - we listened and took on board her recommendations and everything she recommended was reflected in the "turn around" time of the sale. We wish her continued success always.
