• Katie was great to work with for the purchase of our home. She was very professional in her approach, had great communication and was flexible to work around us as buyers as we worked through the sale of our old property and purchased a new one through her.
  Highly recommended.

  Whetu and Sophie

• Katie showed a genuine interest and care for us as buyers. Her communication was exemplary, with a clear personal touch as well.
  Some Real Estate agents can have a reputation as only caring about the vendor and the sale. This was most definitely not our experience with Katie. She was kind, considerate, listened to us and she acted in our best interests at all times.
  I have no hesitation in recommending Katie and I would certainly use her again for any property sale or purchase.

  Wayne, Grant and Julie Carter

• I engaged Katie Burke to sell my property in the Mount in July 2024.
  Katie was wonderful to work with. She was very professional but down to earth and was a great communicator during the process.
  In addition, Katie went beyond what I would expect from an agent.
  For example, as we were away for a period when the property was on the market, Katie offered to water plants, vacuum the property, mop floors and put out rubbish bins. Katie worked hard to get us a good price in a difficult market.
  I have no hesitation in recommending Katie to anyone wanting to sell their property and would engage her services again.
  For avoidance of any doubt I asked Katie if I could write a review about her services as I was so impressed with her work ethic and professionalism.
  Thank you Katie for all your assistance.

• Working with Katie was an absolute pleasure. Her exceptional knowledge of the area, pricing, and the real estate market was invaluable, and she consistently provided honest and clear advice. Katie's excellent rapport with other agents and her tireless efforts on our behalf made the home-buying process enjoyable. She's amazing and we are so grateful to her for all her work!

  Michelle and Manuel Efaraimo

• From the very beginning Katie was exceptional to work with. She is both very personable and professional, and comes with a wealth of knowledge around real estate. She took the time to really understand my needs and continually went over and above to make selling as stress free and seamless as possible. Nothing was ever a problem with Katie and she always did her best to accommodate both my needs as the seller and the needs of the potential buyers. Katie is also very realistic and honest in her approach which is something I truly respect and admire when it comes to real estate. In the end we had 6 offers on our property and Katie worked hard to close the best offer, which was a huge success. I would highly recommend Katie and without a doubt would work with her again. Thank you.

  Lara Christie

• Katie Burke, was an excellent agent and the best realestate agent we have ever dealt with, she listened to what we wanted and showed us only houses that fitted our criteria, all of which we liked. She was a pleasure to do business with. We can't recommend her highly enough. Thanks Katie.

  Janet and Bruno

• Excellent service and a great result! I'm very happy I chose Katie to list my property. She was always very thorough and took the time to make sure I understood the sales process and was making the right decision. I appreciated how she was always direct and honest while still being lovely to deal with. The results in a tricky market proves she has solid local knowledge as well as exceptional sales skills. Katie will be my first call when I make my next move.

  Rachel Hadfield

• Katie really does commit to achieving the best result possible for her clients. She worked tirelessly on our behalf to get our purchase over the line. She is very personable, pleasant and is in touch with current market trends and kept us up to date with all the latest legal requirements in buying and selling houses. We would highly recommend using her services.

  Geoff and Karen

• Katie made the whole experience of buying a home easy, especially since we were out of town. She collated homes that fitted our brief and arranged for us to come and see them all in one visit. She also recommended local experts as we required a building inspector and solicitor. We followed her suggestions and had great service from both. Her communication and advice throughout the whole process was excellent and we highly recommend her to anyone looking at buying a home!

  Mel and Russell

• Katie Burke was my agent selling my home.She was always available and able to advise with the upmost professionalism always keeping me fully informed. Katie is a lovely person I rate her very highly and would recommend her to anyone wanting to sell their home. She has done a stellar job selling my home, getting a very good price. THANK YOU KATIE.

  Peter Craven

• Katie is friendly and approachable and worked hard to make the buying process as easy as possible for us. We were out of town buyers so her knowledge of the area was invaluable and she always went out of her way to make herself available when we were in town. If you are looking to buy or sell a house Katie is your lady!

  Jenny and Dave

• Katie helped us to move quickly on a property, to secure it. She was responsive but relaxed, supportive and honest in her approach. We very much appreciated her frank but comforting manner in managing the deal from our end. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Katie.

  Toby and Kim

• Katie has been incredible from the get go and right through the whole process for us. She really is a genuine and kind hearted person and has made us feel at ease and supported. Things moved very fast with the auction being brought forward but Katie kept us updated and gave advice throughout. We never felt pushed into anything or out of our depth which can happen in situations like this. It was such a nerve wracking time but Katie made it a smooth process so we could enjoy the excitement!

  Clair and Jonny

• Katie was an excellent agent to work with, and helped us find a great place to live after a tough few months searching. We had a relatively specific list of requirements, and Katie did a wonderful job of finding us multiple homes that ticked all our boxes. She had a strong working knowledge of the respective suburbs and market, was very accomodating around our schedules, and was generally a delight to deal with. Would highly recommend.

  Hugh And Sophie

• We really enjoyed working with Katie as our buyer's agent as we searched for our first house. Katie is friendly, professional and very responsive and nothing was too much trouble. She guided us through each step of the process and we couldn't be happier with our new home.

  Florian and Rebecca Herrmann

• Katie helped us to secure a lovely family home. Katie was very attentive and always gave us her honest professional opinion. Katie is friendly, relatable and made the whole process a lot easier and less stressful (despite having some time pressures involved). We would have no reservations about recommending Katie to friends and family in the future.

  James and Katie Brown

• Katie and Charlotte were excellent to deal with. We felt well informed every step of the way and they made the process of selling our house seamless. The hard work they put in definitely paid off for us. Dream Team!

  Lucy and Dave Leppard

• Katie and Charlotte were great to deal with. They were friendly, approachable and very honest with where they saw our property sitting in the market. They had a lot of knowledge of the current market conditions and kept us up date regularly with buyer feedback. We had a successful sale at auction and found the whole process stress free. I would highly recommend them as agents and would certainly use them again.

  Cameron and Rebecca Russell

• The process of selling our house with Katie was a super easy one. Katie's communication throughout the process meant we were always kept in the loop as to what was happening, we were very happy with our result and would highly recommend Katie as an agent to anyone looking at selling.

  Andrew and Andrea

• “Katie was very professional yet personal in her approach to selling our property. She displayed a thorough understanding of the market and communicated really well. She was proactive and made the experience a memorable one. Highly recommended!”

  Patrick and Sjaan Rounds

• Trying to buy a property in another city under Covid level 4 restrictions was very daunting but Katie made it so much easier! Katie's knowledge of properties, surroundings, neighbours, neighbourhoods, doing a virtual tour at open home and telephone bidding was invaluable. With Katie, we were in safe hands and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone trying to navigate the property market in Tauranga.

  Neil and Dorothy Allen

• We were so stoked to find Katie and have her on the home buying journey with us. She communicated all the necessary steps with us and was always available to mull over our thoughts on various properties. She had great market knowledge and gained an excellent understanding of the type of property we were after. We felt she had our best interests at heart and always gave her honest opinion. We are so grateful for Katie's guidance and advice and would recommend her to anyone buying/selling in the area!
  
  

  Sam and Keryn Cashmore

• I had a fantastic experience working with Katie on purchasing our new home. There were many factors out of both of our control and took much longer than we would have liked but Katie was there all the way. From the time we first met at the property till settlement, Katie always had great communication, a positive outlook and very pro-active with information needed. I'm very grateful to Katie and the support she gave my partner and I in purchasing our new house. I will definitely be keeping in touch for working together in the future.
  
  
  

  Ryan Christensen

• Very Sensible and Down to Earth Person!
  
  If we have to sell a property again, we will with no doubt definitely deal with Katie again. Inspite of how stressful things were during the stages of selling, Katie made us feel like she understood our sentiments and our needs. She is not just a typical real estate person that is just interested in one thing! She has a heart and she was there to listen and not to push her way around or should we say "she's there to earn and to help at the same time...That's why we are very thankful to her. Well done Katie and continue to be compassionate to everyone!!!

• Selling a house can be a super stressful process but I did not experience this when selling my home with Katie. From our first meeting Katie was professional, knowledgeable, understanding, organized and supportive. Throughout the marketing campaign she communicated effectively with me and I felt fully informed throughout the process. Being fully informed about the market's feedback really assisted me in making the right decision when I received offers for my property. I was extremely pleased with the price I got from my home (this was within the estimate price range completed by Katie). I would highly recommend using Katie if you are selling or buying a home. She is an total Asset to Eves Realty.

  Katherine Price

• The thought of going through the process of selling our house was a daunting one. We asked ourselves multiple times "What if we don't find the right agent? What if the house doesn't sell? What if the agent is just in it for the money and doesn't care?". We had met with a few agents and we were feeling like we just weren't going to find the right one when we called Katie. Katie and Charlotte were at our property the next day and the fit was perfect! We felt comfortable, valued and listened to. These wonderful ladies made us feel like no question was silly (and there were lots). Dealing with a young child, open homes and viewings was a terrifying thought, but once we brought this up to Katie and Charlotte, they worked with us to find the best solution to make our lives easier. The thought and effort that went into selling our property was outstanding and we could not be happier that we chose these women to sell our house! If you're looking for someone to sell your property, please do not look any further than these two, I promise.. you won't regret it!

  Jason and Jen

• When we made the decision to sell a rental property we’d owned for 25 years it initially seemed daunting.
  
  Katie and Charlotte were wonderful.. they presented a comprehensive sale plan and went on to achieve all the agreed procedures in a timely manner – except for the end result – the house sold at auction 2 weeks earlier, 37% in excess of the appraised value!
  
  There were various maintenance improvements required, a thorough clean, and garden tidying. Katie and Charlotte seamlessly co-ordinated the Tradespeople to achieve all these tasks in preparation for the Staging. This was money incredibly well spent: the home was transformed!
  They organised two huge Open Days and numerous visits – even though the Auction was brought forward we really felt the house had received optimal attention and were thrilled with the final result.
  
  I’d thoroughly recommend Katie and Charlotte. They’re professional, efficient and just lovely ladies to deal with.

• A big thankyou to Mark and Katie for the way you both managed the sale of my property. Your knowledge and experience in real estate resulted in getting a great sale for me. I would not hesitate in recommending either Mark or Katie to anyone wishing to buy or sell property. Bill Anderson

  Bill Anderson

• We are more than happy to recommend Mark and Katie as the team to sell your property. We recently used them to sell our property at Papamoa. Mark came all the way to Rotorua to talk to us. He kept in touch with us about our plans and then when we decided to sell, we were more than happy to use him as our agent. The professional photos and in particular the video were a great selling point to showcase the locality of our property and the closeness to the beach. We were kept fully informed through the sales period and open home process through calls and written updates. The auction was handled professionally by Grant and Katie and Mark worked diligently with prospective buyers to ensure we had a better than expected sale price. Thanks again for such fantastic service. Sandra and Tim.

  Tim and Sandra

• Thank you Katie Burke for making the sale of our fathers house so seamless and delivering an exceptional outcome. Your communication throughout was exemplary and made the whole process so easy for the three of us. We would all highly recommend you and know you deliver as promised.
  Kindest regards

• I honestly don't know what I would've done without Katie! In a very fast moving market she was on the ball. Always in communication, actually listening and searching for properties that would suit. As a buyer I felt extremely confident working with her towards securing my dream home. Katie's professionalism and warmth makes her an absolute dream to work with.
  
  

  Nikki Jacobsen

• We were most impressed with the effort put in by Mark & Katie to find us a new home. With us having already sold our home in Coromandel and unable to spend time looking, Katie & Mark did all the leg work for us and then recommended and arranged viewing only of homes they knew would suit our needs. They worked with multiple other agencies to find us the right home and with their early recommendation to view and guidance through the offer procedure we were able to secure our new home. We highly recommend Mark & Katie to all prospective purchasers.
  Thanks Allen & Lynne
