My husband and I were nervous about the process and the big task of advertising, preparing and selling our house in an unsteady market. Kathy did an amazing job for us. She was reliable, professional, knowledgeable and more importantly for us, she was trustworthy. From the very beginning, Kathy clearly explained the process and set our nerves at ease. She communicated every step of the way, whilst being flexible around our schedule. Our house sold within four weeks and we truly believe it was because of the advice and guidance Kathy gave. We will definitely be forwarding Kathy's details to any friends or family who are selling/buying. Thank you for everything you have done Kathy!

We recently had the pleasure of engaging Kathy Evans and the Barfoot & Thompson team to sell our property in Papatoetoe. We found Kathy to be very knowledgeable of the local market and personable to deal with. With us living outside of Auckland, we were particularly blown away by the level of care and contact Kathy provided. From checking on our property when a freak tornado ripped through the area; arranging cost effective yet gorgeous staging; to arranging and meeting various contractors on-site - all these things would've been administrative nightmares for us, yet Kathy handled them on our behalf as part of her service.

We felt well-informed after each open home, and throughout the sale's process through to settlement. We attended the auction virtually and found the process to be straightforward.

We wouldn't hesitate in recommending Kathy.

After 10 months of searching, we can’t thank Kathy enough for living up to her promise and finding us our first home. We met Kathy at an open home and from the start she was genuine, open, a great communicator and nothing was ever too much trouble. After missing out on that house at auction, she made it her mission to find us a home. A month later she followed up on that promise and found exactly what we were after. She didn’t have to follow up but she went out of her way as that’s the type of person she is. Kathy is a rare find, she’s someone who cares, listens and keeps her promises. Of all the salespeople we dealt with, Kathy really felt the most genuine and we honestly believe that without Kathy’s help we would still be house-hunting today. Thank you Kathy for being so approachable and making buying our first home a breeze, if only we found you sooner!

I met Kathy when she was referred to me to sell my mum and stepdad's home in Takanini. From the moment I met Kathy she was transparent regarding the whole selling process including fees and how the advertising works. She answered all my questions and made filling the paperwork out a lot easier than I remembered when I had previously sold a home.

Kathy's communication was always clear and positive, she made contact when she said she would. Not once in this process did I wonder about her integrity and I found her support and communication so beneficial.

There were 2 COVID Lockdowns during the time she was selling mum's home and open homes, so Kathy kept my stepdad's family, the tenant and myself well-informed, and followed through on any action she said she would take.

When approaching the auction, Kathy gave us all the information so I could make an informed decision regarding lowering the reserve price and how this process works. I truly believe that this is the reason that we received such a good price for our parents home. I also believe that Kathy advertised mum's home well as a 'do it up'. Again it was being transparent of how her house currently was.

I want to say a huge thank you to Kathy as it has been a two-year process regarding the selling of mum's home as her and my stepdad have gone into a rest home. Especially with the step family dynamics, this process of selling mum's home has now given me peace for what has been a long process. I will highly recommend Kathy to anyone I know that is planning to sell their home.

Kathy Evans led the marketing of our late parents’ family home in Papatoetoe. She managed the process with both enthusiasm and respect, promoting the open homes and ensuring we were kept in the loop at every step in the process despite the issues created by the COVID-19 restrictions of Levels 3 and 2. She was a dream salesperson to deal with, going above-and-beyond, and the price we received was beyond our wildest dreams. We would recommend Kathy to anyone who wants to sell their home and get the best the market can deliver.

Grant and I would like to thank you very much for the exceptional service you gave us during the selling of our house in Papatoetoe. It can be quite a daunting process but you took the stress out of it, keeping us informed on what was happening at all times.

As we live out of Auckland, we would like to thank you for being on hand for phone calls or by being at the house when things needed to be attended to. Also, could you please pass our thanks on to the whole team at Barfoot & Thompson who were also involved in the sale.

We would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone else for a great real estate team!
