We met Karen during our search for a home in the Mt over the summer. We immediately felt comfortable with her, she had a great balance of formal, professional but relaxed and fun. She was skilled in understanding what we were looking for in our new home and it was her idea to suggest a home in Papamoa (we were determined not to look there!) We walked in loved it immediately and basically bought with Karen's guidance on price that evening. We would totally recommend Karen whether you are buying or selling and happy to chat to anyone about our experience.

We were so lucky to have Karen as our real estate agent, she is diligent and professional. She took great care in finding out exactly what we wanted in a home, taking time to show us multiple properties and call if a new listing became available. Helping us through a challenging multi-party negotiation process, after placing an offer on a property. Keeping us updated throughout negotiations and offering excellent advice. We would highly recommend her as a real estate agent. Kim & Gavin

Karen was referred to me by a good friend which gave me piece of mind & trust from the get-go, I knew then I've a great agent in my corner. Karen was an awesome agent to work with. After 4 months of house hunting, she found the right property for me once she knew exactly what I was looking for and settlement date was made a week out from Christmas, so happy with the huge effort & result. Karen is such an excellent communicator, direct and a straight shooter and willingness to go the extra mile to get the right result for you. She was always available at any time of day to help & kept me updated with everything all the time. I highly recommend Karen as an agent to anyone else looking to buy or sell.

Having worked at Bayleys Mount Maunganui for 3 years, it was a very difficult decision to make as to which of the amazing agents to chose to sell our investment property in Papamoa. It was a bit of a risk choosing a relative “newbie” such as Karen, but honestly, we couldn’t be happier! So many times, throughout the process we would say “wow, we’re so thrilled we chose Karen, she’s amazing!”, she really was that good! Her passion and energy were infectious and made what could be a stressful process, truly enjoyable. Her drive, her professionalism and her knowledge of the market are absolutely brilliant. We’ve bought and sold many properties in our time, but this was our first in a really tough, rapidly declining market, and Karen walked us gently through the process, achieving an amazing result for us, weeks under the average days to sell, and despite some enormous obstacles. The team at Bayleys are the most exceptional in the business, and Karen has shown that she belongs right up there with the best of them!

It was great to find Karen to work with after 15 years of no real estate activity. Karen seeks to determine your needs and goes the extra mile to ensure you understand all the relevant issues when making such a large decision. Even after the conclusion she has remained helpful and informative.

When we found out that our house south of Taupo had gone unconditional, we only had three weeks to find a house to move to in Tauranga, so I sent many emails to real estate agencies regarding their listings. Within half an hour Karen had emailed me back and then called me to help with areas that were good for us, and details (property files) of each property that we were interested in. The biggest help was that she even helped us with listings that belonged to other agencies! After a couple of conversations and many emails, we met with Karen who dedicated a day to driving us around several areas and many houses (not all her listings, so she had arranged to show us other agent's listings). I honestly don't think we would have found our new home without Karen's help. Even after purchasing the property Karen has been amazing to deal with to get measurements and recommendations for contractors. We highly recommend Karen. She is truly a one stop shop which made a stressful time so easy and smooth (and dare I say enjoyable!).

From our first phone call Karen was so easy to chat with, so positive and kind. She listened well and was so thoughtful in her communication, like we had been friends for years. We were able to share a laugh and some tears come auction day! It was just such a great experience to go through. She has great market knowledge, was extremely professional and lots of fun. I would highly recommend Karen to anyone. She was an absolute pleasure to deal with.

After a few long tedious months of looking for a suitable property to purchase, Karen found one she thought would suit our search. We loved it, but felt it was too far out of our reach, for a number of reasons. She carefully kept an eye on progressions, with gentle updates. After a few changes in the campaign, it became within our reach again. After another 3 weeks of negotiations and fulfilling clause after clause, we managed to secure the property of our dreams. Without Karens positive and honest approach, we would never had been able to achieve this dream. We couldnt recommend her more! We are over the moon with our new home. Thank you so much Karen.

Right from our first meeting with Karen we knew she was the Realtor we wanted to sell our home and in the weeks to follow this first impression never changed. She worked tirelessly to market our property and always kept us updated with everything she did. This was big for us as we are big communicators ourselves and we wanted to know what was happening at all times. Karen knows the market very well and was able to bring potential buyers through who were serious and not just tyre kickers. When the offers came in she guided us very well and talked us through all scenarios until we were able to accept the right one and we could not be happier. Karen isn't like many other realtors who we find are all talk and no substance, she will work for you the seller all the way to a great end result! Thanks very much Karen from two very happy sellers!
