Rookie of the Year
Professional, easy to deal with and grounded. We never felt pressured at any point in the process and felt that Karen and Nicky had our best interests at heart throughout.
Straight forward service, nothing said that didn't happen, excellent communication, commitment and professional integrity.
Great service from Karen and being kept up with weekly updates. Plus someone who saw what I wanted to get for my property without me saying. I held back until the appraisal was finished and we came to the same conclusion. So yes I would recommend Karen totally. Julie

In my experience, Knud & Karen are honest brokers and really do their best for the vendor. I saw this when I was a potential buyer as well as when I was the vendor. They're also incredibly patient - I had a difficult property to sell and they stood by me to the end. I'd have no hesitation in recommending them.
Knud & Karen were easy to deal with, had great communication & showed genuine enthusiasm for what they do.
