As a first home buyer I had no knowledge of process. Karen not only guided me through the process she reassured me when we found the perfect house and didn't want it slipping through our fingers. Still amazed we found our dream home.

Our thanks to Karen Tippett for the recent sale of our much loved family bach in Waihi Beach. From the beginning her assistance was invaluable, due to storms we were unable to get to Waihi Beach from the Waikato and she viewed the property and got it on the market with very little input from us. Karen kept us informed and followed through on everything she offered and was able to put our mind at ease from a distance, in fact we only met up with her in person to sign the Sale & Purchase Agreement. We would have no hesitation in recommending Karen as an agent.

Nice and easy to deal with. Good communication and was happy to answer any questions.


We had three appraisals and all were much the same with their price indication. Karen kept us informed at all times, she wasn't pushy and seemed very relaxed in our company which was important to us. We ended up with a result that was very close to our expectation.

Karen looked after me every step of the way with a great result and my lovely home going to a wonderful young family. Highly recommended.

At a very sad and emotional time in or lives, Karen navigated her way with sensitivity and kindness to achieve the eventual sale of our home, to the relief of us all.The whole team at Rain and Horne couldn’t of been more helpful.

Always happy and ready to go again. Went way beyond any other Estate Agent we have used over the years. Top Notch!!!

Karen gave me really good advice about what needed renovating to secure a sale. I followed her advice and my property sold incredibly quickly. In fact it went unconditional less than a week after it was put on the market! Karen was supportive, knowledgable, professional and respectful. I wholeheartedly recommend her.

We found Karen to be open and honest with good local knowledge where nothing was a problem and was able to secure a deal that we were all happy with.

We absolutely loved working with Karen in the purchase of our new property. Such a positive, kind and reassuring presence in every part of the process, who feels like a part of your team. Could not recommend her enough!

Great to be able to communicate our needs as well as the procedures for our sale..No guess work in her process of market situation. Amazing commitment for all parties
