Bought the House of our Dreams - I found Kathryn to be easy to communicate with, willing to answer all of the many questions we had as first-home buyers and ultimately helped us secure our first home which we love. Thank you Kathryn.

Thank you so much for your help with selling our home Kathryn. You went above and beyond to sell our property. Working with you was a pleasure, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. Your knowledge and expertise made the process smooth and easy to understand for us. It was very comforting to know exactly what we were signing for and the details and risks of our deal.

You made our real estate experience stress-free and enjoyable. Your relaxed and friendly approach put us at ease and you demonstrated excellent communication skills, keeping us informed at every step.

We highly recommend Kathryn for anyone seeking a knowledgeable and personable real estate salesperson.

Excellent Professional Salesperson
Kathryn managed this difficult sale with great professionalism and negotiated a deal that was ultimately acceptable to all parties. Our thanks to Kathryn for her efforts.

Meredith provided us with a comprehensive appraisal and arranged a meeting on site with herself and colleague Kathryn Binks, to discuss our various options. They impressed us with their professional approach and immediately we felt comfortable and relaxed. Their marketing recommendations and regular updates gave us the confidence to proceed with an Auction for this sale.

We attended the Auction which could have been stressful but in reality, thanks to Kathryn and Meredith’s support, the whole procedure went very well with a favourable result for ourselves and I believe for the Purchaser.

We are both very grateful to both Meredith and Kathryn for the continued afte- sale information they are providing and would have no hesitation in recommending both to prospective sellers or buyers.

Kathryn's market knowledge, communication, and proactiveness effectively guided us through the house purchase process.

Kathryn was an absolute God send. We completely entrusted her with the entire process of selling our investment property at such an uncertain time in the market. We felt nothing but supported and well informed throughout. Kathryn provided a superfast turn around on listing the property and gave us an excellent result. We were extremely grateful having Kathryn as our salesperson and definitely recommend to anyone looking to sell.

Through some very tough negotiations over a period of time, Kathryn finally got us over the line and now we have our perfect home! She also managed to do so when our finance was just hours away from expiring and we thought we were going to be off the market! Whilst I was quite stressed throughout the process, Kathryn always had a level of calm which she projected onto me, (me being absolute stress bunny) and between her calming influence on me and her quick sense of humour it made the process a lot easier and actually fun, dare I say, so of course we had a fair few laughs along the way amongst the negotiations.

I can say I do recommend Kathryn on account of her NOT being pushy like so many others, plus she has a sense of humour which always helps in a high stress situation such as buying a home😀

Couldn't ask for a better salesperson

We are so grateful that Kathryn was our salesperson. Despite the drastic turn in the real estate market since we listed, she remained positive and managed our expectations really well. Her market knowledge is hard to come by and her professionalism is outstanding. One of her best qualities is her communication skills. She kept us up to date throughout the campaign and made sure we knew what we needed to do and when, to secure the sale. She was proactive, overall extremely efficient and simply marvelous. Thank you!

Kathryn Binks handled the recent sale of my property on Brixton Road, Manly. At all times she was extremely professional,knowledgeable and supportive of me as the vendor. She was always proactive, available for any questions, concerns and delivered with no delay feedback/marketing reports. She has amazing listening and negotiation skills.

She achieved a great result in the sale of my property within five weeks of listing and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Kathryn to either a vendor or buyer.

We are very happy we chose Kathryn to market our home. She was at all times professional in her manner, she kept us well informed in terms of buyer interest and she achieved a great result on auction day. I don’t think it’s possible to find a salesperson who works harder for her clients than she does. We would definitely use Kathryn again in any future sale.

Laura and I would like to thank you for your fine work promoting our beloved property at Stanmore Bay. Your efforts to keep us appraised of progress and well advised all the way through the process, was greatly appreciated. The sale was for us, a daunting prospect. Our confidence in your recommendations and advice was in the end, well-founded. We would be happy for you to use this email as a testimonial.

Kathryn Binks has been so good to work with. Right from the get-go, she has explained the process and how it will affect us as tenants and kept us informed. She made sure that the open homes and viewings worked for us and that we were comfortable with everything. She has also been really easy to contact and promptly addressed any concerns we had. Overall she has made what could have been a very stressful time, super easy and her efforts are really appreciated.

Fantastic working with Kathryn Binks! She worked tirelessly with all of the buyers to have them bidding on the day. Throughout the process I have felt the sale of my children's asset was in excellent hands. Kathryn kept them well updated and ensured all questions and answers were explained to them very thoroughly and very clearly. Really happy with the end result, thanks Kathryn for the huge amount of time and effort you put into this sale.

I'm so happy with how the auction turned out. You put in so much effort and hard work to get my place sold for what we thought it was worth and you did. The amount of interest you gained exceeded my expectations and you gave amazing guidance throughout the whole process which made everything a lot easier. So appreciated thank you.

10/10 salesperson to work with
Kathryn was great to deal with. Came in with a straight-shooting attitude the whole way through the process. Gave us great feedback after each open home and what effect the market was having on our property. I would gladly sell another property with Kathryn.

Kathryn was a very helpful, and professional salesperson with great communication. A great result. Thank you Kathryn.

Couldn't Ask for any Better

Kathryn was absolutely amazing throughout the whole process. Nothing was ever an issue and she was always available to answer any questions that we had, no matter what time of the day it was. Kathryn explained everything in detail ensuring we understood the whole process. Very highly recommended.

"When we met Kathryn, we formed an instant rapport with her. We were rookies when it came to selling at auction, but Kathryn helped us through the process and was always willing to answer any question no matter how small. Kathryn worked with us to sell our house quickly without compromising our sell price, as she knew time was of the essence due to us having put an offer on another property. She genuinely wanted the best outcome for us. She maintained excellent communication throughout the entire process of selling our property. Kathryn was willing to work around our commitments in regards to organising times and dates for inspections, signing of purchase agreements, open homes, etc. to minimise disruption to our busy family life. Thanks to Kathryn we are now settled in our new home. If we were ever to move again we would definitely sell through Kathryn."

Thank you.

We would like to say, Coral and I were thoroughly impressed with the professional manner and the advice we received whilst going through the sale process. Your enthusiasm, commitment and communication along with your sense of humour made the whole sale/auction process straightforward and dare I say, a pleasure, and realised what we believe a very good sale price.

Could you also pass on our thanks to Craig the auctioneer.

If we have any friends wishing to sell we will certainly recommend you.

Sincerely

Kathryn was so incredibly proactive throughout the whole sale process and nothing was too much trouble. We received clear, concise and professional advice on the best way to market our property and Kathryn stayed in touch daily with updates on every person who came through our open home, and thanks to her proactive marketing, there were MANY! The auction process was painless and we would recommend Kathryn and Barfoot & Thompson to anyone even considering putting their home up for sale.

Kathryn was recommended to me by a family member, when It came time to put my Stanmore Bay house on the market. Kathryn has been absolutely wonderful to work with and has stayed focussed during some challenging times while endeavouring to sell my property. Please consider her for marketing your property as she has been excellent for mine.

Regards

Hi Kathryn
I just want to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your dedication and service to my family. The manner in which you sold my father's house, your enthusiasm and communication and all, made you amazing to deal with and we felt that we were in good hands throughout. Further, the extensive efforts you made in assisting my father and also myself and my wife and kids, is deeply appreciated.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for someone to buy or sell a house!

Warmest regards

Kathryn made the whole process of selling our house really smooth even though it was quite a complicated situation.  A buyer was found really quickly but they had a house to sell and their buyer also had a house to sell. 

Kathryn kept across the whole chain and made sure that from our point of view, it went without a hitch – whereas I know there were a number of things to overcome.  I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kathryn going forward – could not have been happier with our experience.

After six failed attempts at purchasing a property, the last person we thought we would be compelled to write a testimonial for would be the realtor. However, after being successful thanks mostly to the help and support of Kathryn Binks - we absolutely do!

Kathryn Binks is an honest and genuine realtor and someone we were lucky to have help and guide us through our purchase journey. We felt thoroughly supported by Kathryn who would keep us updated at every step, and provided invaluable guidance and advice that ultimately resulted in a great outcome for both ourselves and the vendor. Thank you so much Kathryn! We can’t wait to move into our home in beautiful Stanmore Bay!!!

Kathryn Binks came to us and was an absolute pleasure from the beginning to the end of our sale. She has made our family extremely happy.

Working with Kathryn Binks at Barfoot & Thompson has made the process of selling our parents house stress-free.  Kathryn communicated in a timely, professional and knowledgeable manner and gave thorough feedback on the market.  

The advertising campaign had a broad reach and the end sales result during an unprecedented time of a national Lockdown due to Covid19 was outstanding!  Kathryn is determined, works tirelessly, is awesome to work with and this alone made the process so much smoother for everyone involved.

I highly recommend using Kathryn!

"...I recently appointed Kathryn Binks from Barfoot & Thompson's Whangaparaoa office to market my home at Wade River Road, Arkles Bay. After meeting with other agents, Kathryn stood out to me due to her positive approach, experience and personality. I made the right decision appointing Kathryn, as she put an effective marketing campaign together which resulted in an attractive offer being presented after only a few days and a sold sign two weeks after launching my property to the market.
The best thing about working with Kathryn has been her efficiency and availability. Kathryn always answered my calls and questions promptly and her communication skills are outstanding. I felt very assured that my property was in very capable hands and I was kept fully informed at all times. Kathryn totally exceeded my expectations in this area as in the past I have found agents to be slow and poor at giving feedback and returning calls.
I would strongly recommend Kathryn to anyone looking for a hardworking, competent agent who goes the extra mile to achieve outstanding results for her sellers".

"...I have recently engaged Kathryn Binks of Barfoot & Thompson as the sole agent for the sale of my home and income property in Manly, Whangaparaoa. Before selecting Kathryn, I received a number of proposals from various agencies, but Kathryn's confidence and straight forward approach together with her local knowledge and experience in successfully marketing and selling home and income properties stood out from the others. I was immediately impressed by Kathryn's approach to the marketing of my property and together with her photographer they captured the true look and feel of the property enabling it to be presented at its absolute best. Kathryn also demonstrated considerable skill and expertise in adapting the marketing approach and keeping potential buyers informed as the campaign progressed in order to maximise the number of bidders on auction day. Being based in Wellington, I needed to have a high degree of trust in my agent and having Kathryn as the key local contact point throughout the marketing, viewing and overall sales process has proven to be the right decision. I would highly recommend the services of Kathryn Binks for her knowledge of the local home and income market, professionalism and total dedication to achieving the best result for my property."

"...She has proved to be hard working, thoroughly honest and a diligent salesperson and has returned my faith in the real estate profession. I would recommend Kathryn to any person present or offshore to handle your assets as though they were her own. Kathryn always kept me up to date with the state of play, often working late at night when I was in different time zones. Thank you Kathryn for your untiring efforts in achieving three successful sales on my behalf."

"...we would highly commend Kathryn, who went out of her way to keep us informed during the marketing campaign, and supported us during, and after the auction. We would give her high marks for the support, during, and after the event.
We made the right decision."

"...Kathryn has just completed the fourth property transaction for us, we have now purchased two properties and sold two. We have formed a solid relationship with Kathryn based on excellent service, performance and results! Kathryn has really excelled herself on our latest property sale and we
thoroughly recommend her services."

"...I have found Kathryn to be extremely professional, totally understanding in every regard and a real pleasure to work with. She has a really nice bubbly personality, is very genuine and made the whole process very easy. I will be definitely utilising her skills when purchasing my next property in the near future."

"...I was apprehensive about the auction method but I couldn't have wished for a better outcome. Whilst I was overseas I felt fully informed at all times and totally confident in Kathryn's abilities."
