I was initially very hesitant about selling my property again, as my previous experience with a real estate agent had not been positive. However, when the time came to sell, I chose Katie because I considered her to be the Mahia expert. From our first meeting, Katie was well prepared, providing information on past and current property sales in the area, along with different sales package options. She immediately put me at ease and explained every step of the process clearly. Throughout the entire journey, Katie kept us well informed by both phone and email, right through to the final sale. Her support and professionalism continued even on moving day, when she came to visit us. I would highly recommend Katie to anyone looking to sell their property.

We chose to work with Katie because she helped us purchase the land originally and had also previously sold another property for us. Given her strong presence in the area, we felt confident she would be the right person to help us through the sale. Unfortunately, the experience over the time it took to sell the land was disappointing and, at times, quite disheartening. What we struggled with most was the lack of communication and engagement throughout the process. Updates were infrequent, and in most cases, communication was initiated by us rather than Katie. There was very little sense that our property (or us as clients) were a priority. Selling land is understandably different from selling a house, and we appreciate that it can take time, but we still expected to feel supported and informed along the way. Instead, the process often felt impersonal and disconnected. By the end, even after the sale finally went through we didn’t receive so much as a phone call to acknowledge the result, congratulate us, or thank us for our business and patience. After such a long journey, that really stood out. We stayed with Katie because she dominates the local market and we felt we had limited alternatives, but overall, it was not a positive experience. We had hoped for a more genuine level of care, communication, and professionalism throughout what was a significant and emotional process for us.

As buyers, we had a lot of questions about our impending purchase. A lot. Katie kept coming back with the answers, and still with a smile. Katie really went the extra mile, and she knows the district well.

We had an outstanding experience working with Katie. Katie’s in-depth knowledge of the market meant she could provide realistic insights on pricing and timing which gave us confidence in making decisions. Communication was excellent throughout-responsive and proactive and willing to explain every detail. We always knew what was happening and what the next steps would be. Katie was not only professional but also a genuine pleasure to work with.

Katie was knowledgeable and kept us up to date on activity and interest in the property. She was quick with actions and helped us with a speedy sale.

We recently sold our holiday home in Mahia and had the pleasure of working with Katie Bowen. Throughout the process, Katie's communication and care of our property was excellent. Katie kept us fully informed, of all interest and feedback. Not always being present at our Holiday home, in our absence, Katie always ensured presentation was as we wished. We felt supported and confident that our home was in great hands. We are very grateful for all Katies work that resulted in the sale of our property and would not hesitate to recommend Katie to anyone looking to sell.

Katie was an amazing sales person. She explained everything to me so clearly, was very friendly and very easy to get along with. She certainly put the work in to sell my house and I would certainly recommend her if you want to sell your home.

Thanks Katie, for a job well done. You showed how well you know the Wairoa market and achieved a great result in a short time. Katie was easy to work with and nothing was any trouble.

We found Katie very professional, kept us well informed of happenings throughout the process, is certainly knowledgeable about the Mahia district and its trends. She used the services that Bayleys offer tactfully and continually gave us positive vibes. We would have liked to have been given more guidance in price expectations rather than, I assume the company policy, of allowing the market to dictate the value. Overall we were very pleased with Katies role in achieving what we consider a faur price

Katie has a very detailed knowledge of the mahia area and maintains great contacts. We are certain this what makes her a great agent and getting exceptional results. She ensured we were up to date during the campaign, never provided false hope and was always extremely informative. To top this off she has a great personality and it makes you feel like the only client she has. Katie knew exactly what we needed to do to market our property and that resulted in a great sale. Best agent we have ever dealt with.

We knew we were in safe hands throughout a very successful process. Thank you Katie

We have bought and sold the property of 39 Kuku Avenue Mahia Beach through Katie Bowen. She has gone beyond her duties as a real estate agent to help us understand the procedures of marketing and presenting a worthwhile property. Her professionalism was quite remarkable and she guided us through every step resulting in a most satifactory out come. We have no hesitation in recommending Katie to any buyers of Mahia property.
