When buying a property I employed Karen to do that. I found her to be very helpful because Karen was flexible with her time. She was prepared to accommodate me on short notice and showed me the property I was interested in. I would happily recommend Karen as she was prepared to work outside the “normal business hours” for her clients. Her friendly outgoing personality was easy to deal with. I would employ her again because of her efficient communication, prompt replies via phone, text, email or in person. Karen made the purchase of a “big ticket item” a stress free event.

As a buyer in a part of New Zealand I’d not purchased in before, Karen was a complete god send. Karen worked for us like old fashioned real estate agents used to, showing us around homes with patience and knowledge of the area; helping me to plan days succinctly whilst also taking into account my travel time and child requirements. Karen did a lot of the leg work I was expecting to do myself, she really did save me time and sanity especially as it took us a while to find a place…I’m rather picky. Karen was completely professional throughout the whole process, and in my opinion went well and truly above & beyond. I have already been telling people to go and see Karen if they’re looking to buy or sell. We will definitely be working with Karen in the future.

We would like to express our appreciation for your expertise in the recent sale of our house. You provided us with sound advice and guidance, all the while still remaining considerate of our aspirations in regards to the sale of our property. Karen, you put in the time and effort to advise us on the presentation and were always available to us. This facilitated getting us what we felt our home was worth and was a valuable part of the service you offered. Your professional and ethical manner steered us, as well as prospective buyers, during the whole process while maintaining transparency throughout. There was always relevant feedback and informative Marketing Reports. This made the entire process very fluid and reassuring for us. We would have no hesitation in recommending you as our Real Estate agent of choice to those who are looking for a quality service that satisfies all parties.

Karen Grootscholten was very helpful when selling my property because she was proactive at all stages; marketing the property, and showing people from her database through the home. She was always quick to respond. We would happily recommend her because Karen was very efficient with finding buyers, her communication was excellent. She got the price I wanted in a short time frame which I stipulated to her. She sold the property within a week, so very happy and we would definitely use her again.

“I decided to list my house with Karen Grootscholten from Bayleys because of the publicity through the newspaper and because we had dealt with her in her previous job. We knew Karen to be very helpful and advisory. On meeting with Karen I could just tell she had a way of good professionalism and a terrific character. Throughout the selling process I found Karen to be very considerate of my health and age and made sure that I was completely comfortable throughout what could have been a stressful experience for me. Karen is a person who likes perfection and is always punctual. Anybody dealing with her will find out, (like I did) that she can move heaven and earth. I can honestly recommend her to anyone.”

"Karen was absolutely stellar. Super informative, professional and detailed reports about buyer interest and feedback. She sold the property at the upper range of her estimate, having been very careful not to over-promise. Karen also emphasised the importance of waiting for the right buyer who loved the property. If you are serious about selling your property, and finding the right buyer, you can't go wrong with Karen!"

“I have sold and bought many houses over the years and I can say hand on heart that Karen has been the most dedicated reliable agent I have ever had the pleasure dealing with. When she says she is going to do something it is done, when she says she is going to achieve something it is achieved. She has sold for us above market expectation twice in the last year. She has all the attributes you want in an agent, punctuality, courtesy, reliability and above all someone you can trust. A pleasure to deal with. We highly recommend her to you on your journey.”

Right from the outset Karen was the hardest working agent we have ever had the pleasure of working with. Throughout the process, despite many curve balls including covid19, Karen made our experience seem smooth and relaxed. Not once were we left wondering if the house would be sold, for Karen it was only a matter of when. For anyone looking for an agent who not only will get results, but will make your sale experience an enjoyable journey, Karen and her team at Cambridge Bayleys are the perfect people for the job!

We found Karen & Vicki an absolute pleasure to work with. We like to be very involved with the process and they were really accommodating of this, as well as extremely organised, professional and hard working. Karen and Vicki were always punctual and had excellent communication including timely and informative reports. Throughout the whole process we never found a single typo or grammatical error in any of the super well written marketing materials, which is a real testament to their attention to detail. They obtained for us the great result that we needed to move to our next chapter, and we’re very grateful to them for their dedication and work ethic.

From the first moment that we met Karen, we were extremely impressed with her professionalism and when we asked her to market our property, that level of professionalism far exceeded our expectations. From the first time that Karen and Vicki viewed our property, we were completely blown away by the intensity of their enthusiasm. Overnight they structured an auction campaign that was tailored to accommodate my shift work and communicated a plan that was a great compromise for both parties. Karen kept up the superb communication throughout our auction campaign and were very reliable, punctual and honest. We have lived in New Zealand for 18 years and have brought and sold many properties over this period, and we can honestly say that Karen and Vicki have been by far the most impressive agents that we have ever dealt with. We highly recommend Karen and Vicki, and hope that we get an opportunity to work with them again in the future.

Karen and the Team provided a quick and easy service when selling our property from afar. We appreciated the knowledge and honesty that she brought and were impressed by her willingness to go the extra mile. Great agent, great team, amazing result.
