We've now sold two houses with Karen and we wouldn't go with anyone else. She makes the whole process smooth, stress free and is genuinely enthusiastic and interested in the details of your home! Karen also recently sold a friend's house and they had the same amazing experience, which only reinforced what we already knew...she's fantastic at what she does. Trustworthy, reliable and supportive whether you're buying or selling. We'll continue to use Karen for future sales and recommend her to anyone looking for an agent who you can trust AND truly delivers. Thanks again Karen, Cass + J

Karen approached us with specific buyers in mind. We had been on the market but had withdrawn as it had become tiresome, so we knew what we did not want to repeat and tried to be clear on how we would like any potential sale to proceed. Karen listened and responded exactly as we had hoped. After reading her appraisal we listed, and within two weeks had a multi offer, one of which we accepted. Karen was extremely helpful throughout the purchaser's due diligence phase, guiding us both through the process efficiently and enthusiastically. I would recommend her to anyone looking to sell or buy in Mount Maunganui. Her local knowledge is abundant, and her professional approach throughout the process was reassuring.

Karen went above and beyond to help us both find and secure the right property. She took time to get to know us and really took into account what we were looking for before suggesting properties to us. She was also always very responsive to any questions or concerns we had and worked hard to make sure we were very happy with the property we bought. I would definitely want Karen’s help when I bought/sold in the future.

Excellent outcomes! Karen recently worked really hard and was successful at selling our house for us, she was extremely organized, fantastic at communicating with us, a great negotiator getting us a deal we are happy with, she then was instrumental in finding us our new home and providing all the advice so we could make our purchase smoothly.

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 had the pleasure of working with Karen to purchase our new home. Karen reached out to us before the listing went live to gauge our interest and to allow us the time to view the property and get ourselves in a position to complete our due diligence promptly after the listing went live. Karen's approach throughout the process (including the auction process) was proactive and professional. We are very thankful for Karen's assistance and guidance throughout the process and we highly recommend Karen to anyone looking to buy a home.

Karen has been a delight to deal with in all aspects of her role as a professional, knowledgeable Agent during our recent purchase in Papamoa. Our first viewing was on Sunday - Wednesday we were at Auction so this was a fast, pressured, stressful time for us. Nothing was a problem to Karen, meeting all our often 'out the gate' questions and demands and she did so with such genuine kindness, a friendly approach, with the patience of a Saint! - sprinkled with a supportive smile and hug xx She made our journey an easy one when buying a house at auction, she went out of her way to help us with the house viewing & answer any questions as we went to auction.

Karen was amazing. We met Karen on a number of occasions, never to busy to meet with us and to be fair, although genuine buyers, we didn’t fall into a category of buyer that was in a position to make an immediate buying decision. She was polite and understanding and was even able to arrange for a couple of extensions to help us buy the home we wanted. We will continue to buy through Karen

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!

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.

Karen Flowerday did the job for us that the other three agents did not. Again, a typical achievement from a female that only cared for doing a good job, and actually cared about the seller as well as the buyer, and not the commission dollars. If we had to sell again, we would only talk to Karen, as we saw her in action and have full confidence in her. As a former mortgage broker myself, I do have many former clients with rental properties and homes, that I helped find the right financial institution for their purchase. I am so confident in Karen Flowerday’s ability that this referral will go to all of them, recommending to them to contact her. They won’t be disappointed. My husband and I wish Karen all the very best and much success in all her endeavours. John and Marion

Karen was super easy to work with. She worked with us to quickly secure a great property and was extremely helpful along the way. No question felt silly (and I ask a LOT of questions). She was patient, friendly, efficient, and got the job done quickly. We are super excited about our purchase. Verified by RateMyAgent

Karen Flowerday did the job for us that the other three agents did not. Again, a typical achievement from a female that only cared for doing a good job, and actually cared about the seller as well as the buyer, and not the commission dollars. If we had to sell again, we would only talk to Karen, as we saw her in action and have full confidence in her. As a former mortgage broker myself, I do have many former clients with rental properties and homes, that I helped find the right financial institution for their purchase. I am so confident in Karen Flowerday’s ability that this referral will go to all of them, recommending to them to contact her. They won’t be disappointed. My husband and I wish Karen all the very best and much success in all her endeavours. John and Marion
