You don’t close over $400million in sales, sell more than 600 homes and consistently remain in the top echelon of salespeople without a reputation for creative thinking and understanding human nature. A reputation Katherine Foster has earned in a career she began in 2002, and that became a passion.

Several decades living in Hamilton and its environs has given her a broad appreciation of the Waikato region, its city and its villages, the landscape for the residential and lifestyle real estate she specialises in.

Katherine’s ability to think laterally adds value for both vendors and purchasers. Her vendors appreciate her sharp eye for detail and ability to hone in on and highlight the most advantageous features of a property. “Presentation is a critical marketing component,” she points out.

As an astute assessor of buyer needs, she uncovers fresh opportunities and applies her sound understanding of the potential in a property, and of multiple uses of land, to her clients’ benefit.
Her tenacity and highly developed negotiation skills coupled with genuine enjoyment of people and property have seen her consistently stand out in her field.

Katherine loves animals and family life. She also loves real estate, and wants to ensure you love it too. “My aim is to make the experience of selling your home as enjoyable as the outcome.”

If people need recommendations for an agent in future you guys will be it. Reputation is everything in business particularly in a place the size of Hamilton. I can easily see how Katherine has built such a good stable of buyers and sellers.

• Within minutes of meeting Kathrine we rated her, she has an air of someone who knew what their talking about, however had a real empathic side to get the best result, Katherine provided honest advice and sales guidance that would mean we would be more likely to secure a property that made us want to go back to her, she was honest and I believe got a better price for her vendor due to her actions and made us feel like more confident to buy. Would use in the future.

• Top honest, most straight to the point, relatable Agent in NZ
  My Husband, and myself have dealt with many Agents over the decades, not once have we able to make a positive comment as to how professional they have been.
  This experience with Katherine, has been unbelievable! From her knowledge, of how the markets are at this current date, her professionalism, and approach, with regards to purchasing a property. She was undeniably the best ever. Most of all, the honesty...what you would call a straight shooter, that is what sealed the deal with her.
  We wish her every success in whatever she may pursue in the future, and will put her name out there amongst all our colleagues, that may wish to purchase properties.
  Would be great to see the Real Estate Association...employ many such personal as Katherine, what a great Ambassador she is. This would be highly beneficial to the Real Estate Industry.
  From mu Husband, and i Katherine, never stop being who you are...a very sincere person, and you were a pleasure to deal with...a breath of fresh air.

• Couldn’t ask for more
  Kath is amazing, she goes above and beyond to get the job done. She supports you throughout the whole process and takes all the pressure off by going the extra mile to get results. Her large network allows her access to a number of buyers and having worked in the area previously she knows what is happening with the market. Kaths communication is top notch, she is easy to talk to and makes you feel comfortable asking ‘dumb questions’, she keeps you well updated throughout the process and continues to touch base after sale to make sure everything is sorted. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kath to anyone looking to sell

  Kate & Kurt

• The Kitchen Sink and more
  We engaged our journey with Kath after visiting an Open Home and then we realised Kath and Mackenzie were the perfect team for our own Home Sale. Kath initially listened to what our House meant to us and then went to work with Marketing, Staging and the Sell Journey that eventuated. It's been absolutely amazing to work with them both and their Trust in ensuring the customer's needs are met is followed through by keeping to their values and commitments. Thanks very much and wish you every success going forward. Ngaa Mihi Nui ❤. Kotuku, Maria, Jack, Maia and Alo

  Kotuku & Maria

• Energetic, direct, determined, experienced.
  It’s a tough market to sell. You need someone that will take the reins and get things sorted, like fencing for the dog before move in, and provide a range of ideas, options and contacts to sort all the things that need to be done.
  
  And the important thing, getting a sale that suits everyone. Making us understand what is a realistic price - without insulting -, and showing the buyers what they are getting for their money is more than just a home.
  
  Without her experience and the skills, we wouldn’t have got more than expected.
  

  David & Kim

• Katherine is doing excellent job .She is very knowledgeable and I never had any problem understanding her specially when it's my first property to buy . She approached me after I visit the property for first time and Also , after the money was reduced . She was very helpful .

  From my perspective and past experience with Real Estate industry I feel that Kath provided additional support, guidance and staging to ensure that we got the best price possible for the sale of our home, and the outcome was well beyond what I could have imagined. Kath also supported us to find the perfect new home, and again her support and guidance with this allowed us to make a fully informed as well as the right decision for our family.

• We used Katherine Foster of Eves Real Estate Hamilton to sell our home of 47 years ,on the recommendation of a family member who had previously used Katherine in the buying of their house and spoke highly of her.
  
  Using an innovative and comprehensive marketing campaign Katherine had a Cash Unconditional sale at our top price with 2 and1/2 weeks
  
  She then totally supported us through the buying process arranging viewings of other agents listings,arranging builders reports etc and using her experience and expertise in assessing the many properties on the market,any pitfalls there may be and their appropriateness for our needs
  
  Katherine has turned a potential stressful experience for a couple of oldies into a stressless,even enjoyable experience through her friendly nature and professionalism.
