Katie Bowen is Mahia’s go-to real estate specialist. A seasoned marketer turned local advocate who knows how to get results. After moving to Māhia in 2003 with her husband and three daughters, Katie combined more than fifteen years’ corporate marketing experience in New Zealand and overseas with an intimate local knowledge of the peninsula. She joined Bayleys in 2006 and has since sold over $100 million of property, building a reputation for smart marketing, tenacious negotiation and clear guidance through every step of the sale or purchase.

Deeply involved in the community, Katie has a broad network across the region and a genuine passion for sharing Māhia’s lifestyle — from fishing and diving to surfing, sailing and coastal walks. That love of place, paired with professional integrity and a calm, positive approach, means clients get a tailored strategy and a steady hand when it matters most.

Whether you’re buying your first holiday home, selling a family property or exploring development opportunities, Katie delivers energy, expertise and local insight to help you achieve the best possible outcome.

Client testimonials

Slide 1 of 24

We recently sold our holiday home in Mahia and had the pleasure of working with Katie Bowen. Throughout the process, Katie's communication and care of our property was excellent. Katie kept us fully informed, of all interest and feedback. Not always being present at our Holiday home, in our absence, Katie always ensured presentation was as we wished. We felt supported and confident that our home was in great hands. We are very grateful for all Katies work that resulted in the sale of our property and would not hesitate to recommend Katie to anyone looking to sell.

Katie was very easy to deal with and the communication was excellent. We are very happy with the whole process and the outcome.

Bryce and I have been very fortunate to have had Katie Bowen assist us with selling our Mahia Home. Katie was always in close contact with us throughout the selling process, offering solutions and encouraging questions all the way to sale. Her sense of humour and warm down to earth personality made every interaction with her a pleasure! She worked extremely hard to achieve a sale for us in a relatively short period of time and a tough market. We were told by friends that Katie was the ‘go to’ person to sell our home and they were right about that. She took away a lot of the stress that usually occurs when selling property and that’s pure gold. Thank you for everything Katie.

Tēnā koutou The proven outstanding sales history accompanied with exceptional professional service, expertise and conduct by Bayleys Resident Māhia Property Specialist Katie Bowen was the sole factor when deciding upon whom to appoint to market and sell my exceptional Māhia coastal property 934 Māhia East Coast Rd, Māhia. This was definitely confirmed by the successful sales result achieved at the recent auction of this property facilitated by Bayley's Gisborne. Special mention to Bayleys national auction manager Conor Patton whose professional negotiation expertise was instrumental in attaining the final exceptional sale price. I would definitely consider engaging the services of Bayleys Resident Māhia Property Specialist Katie Bowen for future marketing & sales of my next Māhia coastal property sale. Ngā mihi

In two words ... Katie Bowen. Her knowledge of her territory plus the legal needs of her vendors and prospective buyers are extraordinary. Add to that her 'roll up the sleeves and get it done' attitude. And if you have ever been a vendor you will understand the need for an understanding of what stress can do. And who is it that has that ability? Mmm ... Katie Bowen. Thanks for everything Katie.
