Carmen’s dedication to her clients is supported by her business acumen and strong marketing skills. She prides herself on delivering sensible recommendations and places great emphasis putting together innovative marketing plans - of which she manages every stage, keeping a finger on the pulse at all times. She compliments this by ensuring her clients’ properties are portrayed in their best light, from having professional photography for the “wow” factor to using her eye for interior decorating to style the home appropriately for the target market.
With powerful negotiation skills, perseverance and persistence amongst Carmen’s skill set, she consistently delivers the results her clients’ desire and, in a tough or down market, gets them the best price possible. For Carmen doing her job well means just as much achieving the best results possible for her clients and customers. She always sees to it that people feel comfortable, informed and respected. She achieves this through her sheer passion for working with people, her ability to understand the things that motivate buyers and sellers, and her knack for reading situations and providing lateral thinking to solve any problems.
As a proud mother, wife and homemaker, Carmen and her family have enjoyed living in Albany since 1998, a great family area. They appreciate the same things other people appreciate about the area- the new development, the range of local and private schools, reserves and their scenic views... and everything so conveniently close by. Having also lived in and loved both country and waterfront properties, she can fully appreciate people’s different lifestyles, needs and wants.
Carmen believes health and fitness are an essential part of her life and, when she finds time, loves to play golf and tennis. Her husband Hans, who is also passionate about property, is a great support in her business.

“Thank you for doing such a marvellous job selling our home. We have bought and sold several different properties and have dealt with a number of different agents – if only we had found you sooner!
Your motivation, professionalism, enthusiasm and positive “can do spirit” puts you into an “elite” category and assured us peace of mind and security that we had indeed found the right person for selling our property.”
Troy, Amanda and Jade Tiller
“When selling our home, Carmen had a multi-level marketing plan rather than a single dimensional sales plan. The price suggested fore sale was right in line with our own ideas and was right for the market. We found Carmen warm, friendly and feedback was regular and frequent. We were happy with the end result and I recommend Carmen to you.”
Jeff Brook

“We were particularly impressed with Carmen’s professionalism, her outstanding negotiation skills and her “feel for the deal”. She is a person acting with full integrity, calmness and professionalism. Carmen is an upstanding and honest person whom you can trust….We regard Carmen Holtz as one of the North Shore’s stand-out residential sales and marketing consultants and are very pleased to be able to highly recommend her to anyone who intends to sell or buy a real estate property.”
Brandko and Valentina Veljanovski
“We employed Carmen Holtz of Barfoot & Thompson to sell our house recently. Carmen took us through the options and suggested a marketing plan that she felt would suit both ourselves and the property. She suggested a price bracket that we felt was realistic, and it proved to be. She allowed us to make the decisions, respected our privacy and guided us when asked…Thanks to her professionalism, we accepted an offer we were delighted with just two weeks after listing.
In the past we have found selling houses to be very stressful. This time, with Carmen’s involvement, her experience in the industry, her advice, friendliness and sensitivity to people and their needs, it was a pleasure.”
