I used Karl Leathley to sell my home in Raumanga last month and he was outstanding. Before choosing a real estate agent, I conducted a lot of research to see who would be the best choice based on the investment they make into selling the property (time and effort, not necessarily financially) and how they promote their listings. Karl Leathley stood out in this respect: his organic rankings are excellent (meaning people find listings on his site easily), his social media presence was strong, and I could tell he put a lot of work into his listings. I spoke with Karl and then met with him at my home. He answered all my questions, providing objective data regarding how many homes he sells, how long listings typically stay on the market, and providing lots of information on comparable properties in the area. When I saw my listing I was blown away. His hard work and knowledge of what it takes to sell a home really paid off - my listing looked amazing. The first open home was the biggest Karl had seen with 120 people through. From this open home multiple offers were generated - one of which I chose to accept. 7 days after listing the property I had a signed agreement for sale and a few days after that it went unconditional. I've recommended Karl Leathley to everyone I know. He's a true professional and a genuinely nice guy. I realise it won't always be this easy to sell your home, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find a better real estate agent!

I was looking to buy a property out of Auckland and chose Whangarei,Karl was the first person I met there and I found him to be most helpful in buying the property I chose. He was honest and reliable and willing to go out of his way to help with the purchasing of the property . He made all the disclosures on the property that were very important for me to know so that so that I could make a decision based on reliable and truthful information. Karl was a very friendly person to deal with and has put me on to a rental company to look after my investment in the future . I would have no problem in rcommending Karl to anyone who is looking to buy a property in his district.

I never actually met Karl until well after the sale, but that didn't matter - his communication was excellent and respectful. He worked hard to get the sale and even exceeded the market appraisal. I bought on a low and sold on a high, and Karl finished on a high. Highly recommended!

As first time home sellers we knew very little about how to sell a house. Karl was able to advise and guide us through all the stages of selling, from preparing the property for sale,to marketing and right through to the auction and successful sale of the property after three weeks on the market. During this time we lost a much loved family member and Karl went above and beyond our expectations of a real estate agent, managing the sale of our property in a way that allowed us to take time out from the process. We have found Karl to be very professional, knowledgeable, organised, "straight up" and honest and would not hesitate to recommend his services.

Karl was extremely professional and helpful throughout the sale process of our new home and it was a pleasure to have him involved in the purchase

Karl provided a strong, professional knowledge-based service to the marketing of our property. As a result, we were able to achieve a quick sale and at the top end of the current market value Karl had appraised the property at. Up to date knowledge re engagement from buyers through using a video, was certainly hugely advantageous to our sale. With Karl's eye for detail, this provided a professional presentation of our house and was the key to engaging prospective buyers. We would highly recommend Karl to all prospective sellers and buyers.

Very open and knowledgeable, communication skills are excellent.

Karl was professional friendly and helpful. Honest and upfront with good knowledge of the area , I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and would certainly use him again.

Karl was a pleasure to work with at every stage of the selling process. He was always honest and straightforward, and boy did he work hard for us! Our rural lifestyle property took awhile to sell, and Karl came out weekend after weekend, hosting 20 open homes in the end! He also understands rural properties and knows how to sell them. I would be delighted to sell another property with Karl--anytime.


My experience with Karl was reassuring and very confident, made selling the property very easy and stress free. Karl is friendly and easy to get along with and really knows what he is doing with his knowledge of the property market and how to present properties for sale. I would not hesitate to reccomend Karl Leathley to help with the sale of your property. 10/10 sincerely Brent Maindonald.
