Client testimonials

Slide 1 of 5

Karl & his team were very knowledgeable on the processes for sale, & enveloped us in their wisdom, which made the whole process seem seamless...Go you good things...& thanks so much for the great outcome.

Jeffs | Mangatangi

We had for years heard glowing feedback from friends and other farmers who had the benefit of using Karl and his team. Karl lived up to that for us, always willing and available the steer us through such a personal experience like selling not only our home but our life’s work. His knowledge and sound reasoning always gave us a sense of trust and peace. If we were to do it all again it would be with the same team.

Millar | Mangatangi

We enjoyed working with the Karl Davis Team - communication via WhatsApp proved very effective, providing prompt feedback on open homes and booking in viewings, the printed marketing updates were very thorough. The whole team worked well and in particular Seth Roe with his enthusiasm and professionalism. Thanks Karl Davis Team!

Austen | Hikutaia

The best decision I have made is to appoint Karl from Bayleys to market my property. I was approached by a few other agencies but approached Bayleys despite other agencies charged lower fees. I trusted Karl for his track records. Karl performed way above my expectations. He not only get my property sold in less than a month despite a relatively flat market, but at a price that is way above my expectations. Karl team is highly effective, they get things done. Well done Bayleys, for having such a fantastic team. Will definitely engage Bayleys service again.

Goh | Te Kauwhata

We had a fantastic experience working with Karl and his team to sell our property. From the very beginning, he went above and beyond to accommodate our needs, including meeting us early in the mornings to fit around our schedule. His communication throughout the entire process was excellent and we always felt informed, supported, and confident in the decisions being made. He provided honest advice and guidance when needed and we never felt pressured into making into making decisions we weren't comfortable with. We always felt that he had our best interests at heart. Karl worked tirelessly to find the right buyer and handled every aspect of the sale with professionalism and dedication. Thanks to the team's hard work and commitment, the process was smooth and successful from start to finish. We highly recommend Karl and his team to anyone looking to sell their property.
