Karin Blaauw is a listing agent for the Hibiscus Coast and North Shore, with particular depth across Stanmore Bay, Gulf Harbour and Manly, extending through Matakatia Bay, Army Bay, Arkles Bay, Red Beach, Orewa, Hatfields Beach, Silverdale and Millwater. If you're weighing up selling anywhere on the Whangaparaoa peninsula or the wider coast, this is her home ground.
Over the past year Karin has sold 28 properties, averaging over $1 million each, with homes reaching an agreed sale in a median of just 27 days on market. That record sits on a foundation of more than 100 five-star reviews and a 5-star rating — from first-home sellers to downsizers, investors realising long-term holdings, and families relocating across the Tasman.
Her approach is deliberately unhurried and methodical. Prepare the property properly, put the information on the table early — title, council records, the home's history — and let a well-presented, honestly-priced home find its buyers without games. That method is why more than seven in ten of her listings come from past clients and referrals.
RateMyAgent recognises Karin as a Price Expert and places her in the top 20% nationwide for customer satisfaction — independent confirmation that her appraisals hold and her clients would work with her again.
Two decades in financial services in South Africa before real estate left Karin fluent in the technical side of a big decision, and bilingual in English and Afrikaans — a particular help to South African families making the move to New Zealand.
If selling is on your mind, start by knowing where you stand. An appraisal with Karin is honest, written, drawn from recent comparable settled sales, and carries no obligation to proceed.
