Testimonials

Sue Davidson

After almost 60 years the family home was put on the market for the first time. Mum had used First National for the sale of the farm, so was never going anywhere else. 

Karyn came to the house and quickly put Mum at ease (it was a huge decision for her!) Everything was explained simply and clearly so there were no surprises anywhere throughout the whole process. 

She accommodated Mum wanting viewing by appointment only. 

Fortunately it was a quick smooth sale. Karyn kept us updated throughout (even though I was across the Cook Strait for a lot of it!) 

Karyn was involved right up until settlement day making sure relevant people had access to the house as Mum had moved to the red and black province prior. 

Karyn is approachable and is respectful of her clients needs/opinions . I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone wanting to sell their home.

Carolyn and John

My husband and I recently bought a home from Karyn Hodgson of Roper and Jones Maungaturoto.

After Karyn listened to our needs , she went in a mission to find us a property.  Our search lasted for 6 months.

We decided to solely use Karyn as our agent and quickly realised Karyn offered a professional service, quick to respond, going out of her way to provide us with new listings and information.

Hubby and I are gratefully appreciative and would recommend Karyn to any prospective buyer or seller, as being professional, honest and hardworking

Many thanks Karyn

Kind regards

Carolyn and John

Good luck with all your future endeavours.

Alumita and Ian

Husband and I after 43 years in our loved family home made the hard decision to sell and move. After looking at several houses in Maugaturoto, we found our perfect house real easy with First National Kaipara with their agent Karyn. Lovely home and amazing garden! Unfortunately too small to fit all our furniture. Karyn was so lovely and knew that I really loved the house and garden. We told Karyn what we needed from our forever home. Karyn called us a few days later to tell us she had a place for us to look at, also told me it had a blank canvas for me to work with in the garden. All I can say is Karyn really listened! She had found our forever home!

Thank you Karyn for also being there for all our queries and guidance with the purchase……cannot wait to sit and watch the sunset with a glass of wine on the deck  of our forever home.

To say that we cannot wait to move to this property is an understatement.

Alumita and Ian

Karyn and the team at First National helped us navigate our way through to the successful sale of our property; we were very impressed with their professionalism and communication skills , always keeping us up -to- date with progress ,and going the extra distance by making numerous personal visits to the property to ensure both the seller and the purchaser were comfortable with all aspects of the sale. We highly recommend their services.

I found Karyn to be polite, approachable and very professional. She disclosed everything I needed to know about the property I was viewing and provided all written information needed. Karyn’s non-pushy manner was refreshing, yet she was more than happy to research detail for my later enquires. Her communication skills were excellent, and I was impressed by her prompt, informative, concise replies. When my computer and printer both broke down at a critical moment, Karyn calmly came up with a solution of emailing the documents direct to my solicitor. She showed good attention to detail, ensuring accurate information was obtained for the legal documents and enabling settlement to suit both parties.

Karyn did a perfect job of helping me surprise the children with the keys to our new holiday home (that I had kept a secret) when I took them to it for the first time for a ‘camp night’. She gave us a huge gift bag with  a beautiful wine, and loads of other amazing gourmet treats, that we were able to start enjoying straight away.

This was really an unexpected and especially lovely touch that clearly showed Karyn’s thoughtfulness. I would happily recommend Karyn’s sales and marketing consultancy services to anyone.

Thanks Karyn!
