Excellent communication through the Whatsapp from Jeremy and the team. Appeared to have good market knowlegde of sales market in Timaru. Very professional team.
I originally chose to go with another agent from another brand, it was a disaster! So we decided to get in touch with Julian as we had heard so many good things about him. We were not disappointed. His communication was excellent, from appraisal to auction day, everything was easy. It was the first time we were selling our home, and we were not even stressed about it as Julian knew exactly how to anticipate our requests and communicate effectively. He also managed to get awesome results, which makes us very happy. Thanks Julian for your commitment and your kindness, now we know why you are the Top #1 Agent in Timaru !
Rhonda was fabulous. We were moving towns so only had 1 weekend to look at open homes. She dropped everything to give us a private viewing, and showed us through every nook and cranny of the house. She maintained regular communication after the viewing, checking in to see how things were going with our house sale. When it came to the purchasing stage, she was very helpful with anything we asked, and flexible when we had an unfortunate delay. The whole sale felt very personal, she knew how much we loved the house and made sure we got it! I would highly recommend Rhonda!
Sheyanne helped us buy our first home and we cannot thank her enough for her help and guidance! Shey had a great understanding of what our family was looking for and would go above and beyond often accomodating last minutes viewings and working around our busy schedules. Sheyanne put us at ease from the start during a process we had imagined would be stressful and daunting, yet her fantastic communication and clear expertise meant that we always felt prioritised and supported. We would highly recommend working with Shey and team Kartolo at Harcourts if you are looking to buy or sell your next property.
This was our first time selling. We opted for a quiet listing and they guided us through every step. Great communication, really supportive, and we got a great outcome. They made a new process very straightforward.
Very professional. Friendly.
We were impressed with Ricky's clear communication from our initial meeting through to the successful sale. Selling the family home was a challenge, and through all stages of the selling process, he showed understanding and empathy. We would definitely recommend Ricky to anyone wanting an agent who gives realistic and sound advice, pays attention to the details, and delivers.
Our sale was complicated due to it being an estate sale with a few siblings. and we did not make it easy for him. He stuck with us and got us a good result in the end. We thank him so much. Nga mihi OJ.
Team Kartolo (Jemima, Jeremy, Jorja, Mackenzie, and Sheyanne) are great to work with. They don't just list the property and forget it, they seem to have endless energy, and work hard to sell our property for us. They organised plenty of open homes, kept on fine tuning the sales process for us, and most importantly checked in regularly and kept us updated about what was going on.
I met Sheyanne at my first open home and found her to be genuinely engaging, interested, and supportive as I entered the subsequent phases of the purchase. As a first home buyer, I especially valued Sheyanne’s warmth and understanding. She took the time to answer my questions, provide reassurance, and guide me through each step with genuine care and gave me the time I needed. Sheyanne’s communication was always timely. She worked efficiently, professionally and with kindness to ensure all parties achieved their desired outcome.
