Slide 1 of 26

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 We had been on the market but had withdrawn as it had become tiresome, so we knew what we did not want to repeat and tried to be clear on how we would like any potential sale to proceed.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.

Leigh and Owen Solomon

From the first phone call Karen was a breath of fresh air and super genuine. She was a wealth of knowledge and always went the extra mile to ensure we got the best outcome with our property. Her approach to sharing all feedback was open and honest which is what you need when navigating what can be a full on process! Bringing a great positive vibe from beginning to end, I would go back to Karen in a heartbeat and recommend her to anyone buyer or seller. Thanks again!

We cannot speak highly enough of Karen Flowerday and the exceptional service she provided in selling our house during a challenging market. Karen's expertise and guidance throughout the process were invaluable, and her hard work and dedication led to a successful sale with a one-month auction campaign. Her innovative and strategic marketing approach showcased our property in the best light possible. We were impressed by Karen's thorough communication and attention to detail, which kept us informed every step of the way. We highly recommend Karen Flowerday to anyone looking to sell their property.

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. Karen has a lovely friendly manner and even rescued us when we accidentally locked ourselves out. We highly recommend her as an agent and would definitely use her again in the future.

Dawn and Frank King

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.

Neil and Wendi

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.

Will and Lisa

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 Posted by Erin and George MacDonald (Buyer)

George & Erin MacDonald

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

Robert John and Adrienne Beynon Hodgson

We worked with Karen Flowerday for four months to secure our dream beachfront home. Despite the challenges we faced, Karen remained committed and professional throughout.

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

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!

Kelly Faile

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.

J & S Mitchell

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!

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

Gavin and Kim Kay

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.

John and Elizabeth Powell

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.

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.

Daryn Wrightson

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!).

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.

J & S Mitchell

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!

We had the pleasure of working with Karen for our first home purchase, and her exceptional service made the experience seamless. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication (putting in overtime while juggling different timezones) were outstanding, providing us with confidence and turning what could have been a daunting process into a stress-free journey. Beyond her expertise, Karen's warm and friendly personality made her a pleasure to deal with personally. We're grateful for her role in turning our dream of owning the property into a reality and can't wait to make our house a home. Thank you, Karen! Verified by RateMyAgent

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

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

Gavin and Kim Kay

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.

John and Elizabeth Powell

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.

Becs Short

Working with Karen Flowerday was an absolute pleasure. The other team who I spoke with (management due to a pre auction offer) along with material sent out by Bayleys was very helpful in understanding the auction process.

Kimberleigh Gillies

Karen Flowerday 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. Top sales rep

Karen communicated well during the whole process which incidentally didn't last that long as she found a buyer very quickly. Thoroughly recommend Karen as a very professional Sales Person. Verified by RateMyAgent

I highly rated Karen's comforting approach to finding the right house for me. Once found, she worked effortless to secure my dream location. (Verified by ratemyagent) Buyer

Ian White

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.

Daryn Wrightson

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!).
