#2. Sales Partnership, North Shore Region, 2016

Top Salesperson at Beach Haven Branch 2012, 2013, 2014, 2016

My love for the North Shore started when I was born in the North Shore Hospital. I went on to spend my formative years exploring the shores of Great Barrier Island, barefoot and carefree. From there, I settled down with the boy next door and have 3 beautiful children and two dogs.

One of my first jobs was working voluntarily in a Swaziland refugee camp and since then I've spent several years as a phone counsellor with Woman's Refuge and have been actively involved in work as a respite carer with CYFS.

To complement my community work, Real estate allows me to assist people during what has traditionally been a very stressful time. I'm motivated by 'making the move smooth' and helping my clients achieve their real estate goals. I'm passionate about marketing with a creative edge that works to achieve the best result. I listen to my clients, learn about them, focus on the basics and deliver on my promises. My testimonials are a proud record of my top results.

Together with my husband, I have purchased and renovated numerous properties since first entering the real estate market in 1989. I'm a great believer in investing in property and I can definitely enlighten you on the dos and don'ts with investing!

So if you're thinking of buying or selling or just need some real estate advice, you can be assured that if you work with me, nothing is too difficult.

I'll go that extra mile even to the Barrier and back for YOU!

Recommendations

Kari-lee and Jonathan are everything you need from real estate agents and more! During our thorough research of the market and agents in the area they stood out above the others - their honest, friendly professionalism and down-to-earth integrity showed through from the very first meeting. A number of their testimonials say "they go that extra mile" and they really do. Their advice was sound, the trades people they recommended were excellent, Jonathan provided his time and muscle for some challenging gardening issues and their marketing strategy faultless. All very much appreciated and went on to produce an excellent result far exceeding our expectations. We can not thank this couple enough and highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell a property.

"I cannot thank you enough, Kari-lee and Jonathan. You achieved a brilliant result for me and made the whole business of selling my home less stressful! You bring in-depth understanding of both people and the real estate market to how you assist people with buying or selling a home. I have experienced you in both roles. You give realistic and sound advice and go the extra mile - for me that meant keeping me informed about suitable listings and when it came time to sell my home I couldn't have asked for better guidance from you or greater effort on your part, even including providing help with cleaning up my garden!

You are a real estate agent team, I feel I can put my trust in 100 percent! Thank you again, you lovely people."

Just wanted to say thank you so much for all your help, guidance, advice and hard-work you put into selling our home. We really felt we had the best agents selling our home. We appreciated your honesty and feedback throughout the entire process and really valued your tailored approach to marketing our property.

It was great getting to know you over the last 4 weeks and hope to be in touch for the sale of our next place!
