10/10 - Karen and Murray are just wonderful!

10/10 - Karen and Murray are just wonderful!

This fabulous couple worked alongside us during the recent sale of our beloved first home. From the initial planning stages, throughout the campaign, all the way to the after sale excitement and hugs, Karen and Murray were extremely knowledgable, supportive, down to earth, professional and genuine every step of the way. At every turn, they made themselves available to offer sound judgement and suggestions, reassurance and guidance; always with a wee joke or anecdote to lighten my nerves. Their energy is so positive. We had worked with these guys when we bought a few years ago, and we knew they would once again have our interests at heart. We would, without hesitation, recommend Karen and Murray for your sale/purchase journey.

Professional in every way

We had the pleasure of meeting Murray when he knocked on our door pamphlet dropping and we knew immediately that we would certainly give him the job of selling when the time came. Then we met Karen and between this husband and wife team, they certainly made us feel confident with their professional knowledge, their kindness and thoughtfulness, their friendly nature and taking the time to understand our needs, and carefully guiding us to two house sales, one being a private sale to our tenant. We also took their recommendations for services that needed done to prep the house, and all the fabulous people who worked to make it better for selling were great. It was also with much pleasure that we watched how they gave the best and honest care to the buyers in that they spend a lot of time and consideration in respect of the "other side" of the sale. We have already asked them to sell our next house, our home, when the time comes for us to move. We have absolute trust and respect for Murray and Karen and would certainly recommend them to anybody who wants a good and honest property sale.

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Murray and Karen during our search for our first home in New Zealand. We first met them at a home viewing in the Wigram suburb, where Murray warmly welcomed us and patiently walked us through every detail we needed to know about the property. From that moment on, we felt completely comfortable and confident working with them. Throughout the entire process, Murray and Karen guided us with professionalism, kindness, and genuine care. They were with us every step of the way—always responsive, informative, and supportive—as we navigated the complexities of buying our first home. As newcomers to New Zealand, it meant so much to us that Murray and Karen made us feel not just like clients, but like family. Their warmth and sincerity truly set them apart, and we believe that these qualities are just as important as their professional expertise when dealing with clients. We are forever grateful to Murray and Karen for helping us find the right home and for being such a significant part of this journey. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring, and knowledgeable property agents.

Above and Beyond

I was referred to Murray through a work contact. As out-of-town buyers, my wife and I didn't know quite what to expect, but Murray asked us a lot of questions to determine exactly what we were looking for, and guided us skillfully through the ins and outs of home buying in Christchurch. Murray is a great communicator and a real people person. He always let us know what his considerations were when recommending homes for viewing, and always made us feel in control of the process. The day we found the home that we ended up buying was one I'll never forget. I flew down from Palmerston North just to look at one home in particular. Murray met me at the airport with bad news: the viewing had been cancelled. Murray and his wife Karen (who are a great team) worked hard all day to find good options for us--and one of them was perfect! Murray's willingness and ability to work in with other agencies certainly made me feel that our needs were his top priority.

Great communication and always looking for the best outcome

Great communication and always looking for the best outcome

Murray and Karen worked tirelessly in the process of getting my house to market. After multiple delays with contractors, finally we got to market and sold the house for a good price, Murray and Karen always focused on the positive , kept me forward focussed and were supportive and encouraging after several deadlines were missed . Murray and Karen did small extra things like help with water blasting and cleaning up after tradies had been on site. I was out of town so Murray and Karen ran the open homes and gave me feedback every step of the way. They really do work hard for the vendor and were really helpful for the first home buyer that secured my property . I would recommend Murray and Karen to take you through the house selling process, hold your hand , explain everything and talk you through any challenges keeping a nice balance and a cool non judgemental approach to the process for the un-initiated. I chose Murray and Karen because they are an honest hard working couple . Thank you

Murray & Karen Groves are very passionate & professional agents

Murray & Karen from the first time we met made us feel at ease and were open about the possible/probable outcome of listing with them. They are knowledgeable about the local area & market. They gave great advice, especially about the staging of our property which really paid off. They worked extremely hard with the buyers to get the best result. They were very passionate about the people involved in this sale (the buyers & us) They exceeded our expectations in this experience We would highly recommend them & would use them again

Very Good, we got our dream home for what we wanted

Murray and Karen knew what they were doing, and were there to help us the whole way. Sometimes I felt under pressure a bit but that could be due to our lack of knowledge as it's our first home

Murray and Karen were incredible, they provided great insight into the market and were able to provide clear guidance and support throughout the whole process. For someone who was a bit of a Rookie these two were absolute champions. Could not recommend them any higher, from day one they were completely on board with my thinking but also were consistence in sense checking for me. In the areas I felt anxious they took the time to chat through everything to ensure I understood. If you are looking for agents that care, listen and genuinely want the best for you, don’t hesitate. They are the best.
