Testimonials
Karin is totally amazing! She is a lovely person and a friendly, knowledgeable and professional agent who drove my campaign with passion from day one. I would highly recommend her to anyone who longs for a positive selling experience.' Elise - Heyns Trust Buying a house is normally a very stressful experience. We looked for our ideal home for over a year, but to no avail... until I met Karin. I am a very particular person and had a very tight budget. Karin understood exactly what I wanted, explained all the ins and outs in language I understood, steered me away from bad decisions, and found us our perfect home within two weeks. Always professional, honest, full of positive energy and on the ball, I highly recommend Karin to anyone looking to buy or sell in this tough market. Karin has an intensive network of highly professional people and on her recommendations I found the best people to help with our mortgage and an awesome lawyer. I truly felt expertly guided and supported, making our house buying experience a great one! Shelly & Richard Mackie Karin assisted and guided us through the entire process of finding and purchasing our first house in New Zealand. She went out of her way to help us find properties matching our requirements. She gave us the information needed to decide if a property was worth viewing. This meant that we did not have to drag the entire family out every weekend to view countless properties. She also arranged for us to go to open homes and viewings at times that suited us. After we found the perfect property, she assisted us in the negotiation process, and again went out of her way to help us secure the property. We would recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home! Chrisna & Anton I would like to say a big thank to Karin Blaauw and John Glover for their actions in selling a property for me on behalf of the owner, June Smith. Karin's was the first photo I saw on the Barfoot & Thompson website and what a good choice it was. I didn't realise that John worked with her also, but what a great team they made. Everything was explained to me, I understood most of it, and they helped me with a contact to get the house cleaned and garden spruced up and one or two other things that needed doing around the house. I did not feel pressured and I would recommend them to anyone thinking of dealing with Barfoot & Thompson. Neil Petersen We consider ourselves fortunate to have dealt with Karin Blaauw. She is professional, helpful and trustworthy. Nothing was ever too much trouble for her. We viewed different properties many times and she was always patient and understanding of our needs. She always answered and return our calls, well outside working hours. Even when our deal was completed, she was available to offer advice and guidance. Karin made a big impression on us with her bubbly personality and friendliness. We will recommend her without hesitation. Regards Madi La Grange & Willem Germishuys We feel fortunate to have met you during our first home purchase in New Zealand. You are truly one of a kind in your approach and made the entire experience worthwhile. Your knowledge and insights into the property market guided us in all our decisions. You were very patient, understanding and never allowed our emotions to get the better of us during this exciting process. You really exceeded our expectations of an agent and we always felt so comfortable and well taken care of. We are so excited to be moving into our new house at the end of August! We really can't thank you enough for everything you've done!! You're service and attention to detail is exceptional! With sincere thanks Robert, Dawn, Robbie and Joshua When we sold our house, Karin was amazing in her help to get us a new property, nothing was too much trouble for her. The hours she spent, searching and communicating with other agents was amazing. With her help, we can now move on to the next stage of our lives. Liz & John Abell Our property was listed with Barfoot & Thompson, Browns Bay. We had agents, Karin Blaauw and John Glover, sell our house for us. They were very professional, kept us informed and helped every step of the way. Their support, feedback and guidance were greatly appreciated. Liz & John Abell From the moment I was introduced to John & Karin from Barfoot & Thompson, I felt comfortable with their advice and guidance, regarding the sale of our property. The circumstances were not the easiest and through all of the emotion and decision makings, I felt I could trust them. They were really supportive and kept calm through it all. Seeing that a person can't help getting emotional in these situations, they constantly informed me of the trends in the market and the actual feedback, which helped me come to terms with the present position of the market. Through it all, their communication was constant and I am delighted to say that we did obtain a successful sale. I really appreciated their patience, guidance and help on selling our beautiful home. They took the stress out of the sale of our house and made the whole process very easy. I'd highly recommend John and Karin if you are wanting to sell your property. A big thanks from me and my family. Cheers Haydee
