Client testimonials

Slide 1 of 34

We appreciated their professional approach, weekly detailed written reports and overall communication. A true team that went the extra mile. We feel we got maximum value for our property.

McKinney | Waihi

Working with Karl, Lee, and the KDT Bayleys team has been an absolute pleasure. They kept us regularly updated throughout the entire sales process, providing feedback from all interested parties and viewings. The team's emphasis on customer care and communication, led by Karl, has made the entire experience effortless and stress-free. Karl and Lee's extensive industry knowledge and vast network of contacts sets them apart from others. We would not hesitate to work with Karl and the team again for any of our future property needs.

Murdock | Miranda

We have purchased and sold multiple properties in the Waikato are over the years and to say Karl, Lee and the whole team are the best is an understatement. Their professionalism, attention to details and knowledge of the current market environment is faultless. They consistently went over and above for us and always made us feel involved throughout the process. To trust this team with your real estate needs is a no brainer, no other company or agent can provide the level of service they can, there is always a team member available to answer a call or take potential purchasers over the property, they don’t miss a beat!

Jones | Patetonga

Not only does Karl Davis have a reputation in being the best in the business he backs this by offering a service no one else can match. Our agent Seth Roe was exceptional – A young lad with a very bright future in Real Estate. Nothing was ever a problem and his honesty and transparency refreshing. When you list with the Karl Davis Team you don’t get someone offering the world and delivering short of those targets, you get industry knowledge, great communication and proven results time after time. They understand the pressure of a vendor selling what is often their biggest asset and when I trusted them with my home, they always made me feel part of an educated decision process and always had a clear, confident direction throughout the campaign. I would not hesitate in recommending this team from Bayleys to anyone looking to sell their home or investment property.

Ellis | Karangahake

With nearly 20 years’ experience specialising in the lifestyle and farm market in the larger Waikato area we had no hesitation recently listing our lifestyle block with the Karl Davis Team. We have known Karl personally for over 40+ years and he has proven success with previously selling our other properties over the years. What you get with Karl is a team, and we appreciate the team environment he has built; Working with Karl, Lee, Grace and the rest of the team provided us with unwavering resources and communication throughout the entire process from start to finish! Do yourself a favour and list your property with a team that has proven results in the area and continue to give back to the local community.

B & M Karl | Waitakaruru

Lee Carter did a brilliant job setting up the relisting of my property enabling maximum exposure and interest whilst keeping me informed at all times and Karl Davis is a straight shooter his expertise and experience in real estate drove the sale process to an outstanding result. 

Douglas | Kaiaua

When I decided to sell our 8-hectare block in Miranda I didn’t hesitate to contact Lee and Karl at Bayleys. They worked diligently on gathering buyers for the auction day. They put together a strong marketing plan that targeted the right buyers and the communication from the entire team was outstanding with regular updates and feedback, I was kept informed throughout the whole campaign. On the auction day I was impressed by the negotiation process, at no point did they stop trying to get the price I was hoping for. I knew I had a great property with views out over the Firth of Tames but it was up to them to market it and find the right buyer. I would highly recommend contacting the Karl Davis Team if you are wanting to sell your property, I have no regrets!

Boulter | Miranda

Without a doubt, the best team I have worked with in real estate, and I won’t sell with anyone else! Karl has managed to create a team with such experience, knowledge, and unwavering dedication to the sale of my property. The whole campaign was seamless and although the property didn’t sell on auction day, they never over promised anything, and I felt involved the whole time. The work they put in to get not one but two offers in front of me was faultless and gave me so much confidence in any decisions I had to make along the way. Grace & Madison in the office provide a level of service not experienced in many businesses, enabling the sales team to do what they do best. The communication & efficiency is another layer of strength added to this team. I have used Karl, Lee and the team to both purchase and sell properties recently and the team culture is second to none, I would highly recommend anyone in the Waikato area to use Karl, Lee and the team to sell your property, big or small they have got you covered!

Anderson | Patetonga

I would like to extend a huge thanks to Karl & Seth for all their help working with us to secure the purchase of our new property. While doing their best for their vendor, they went the extra mile, with Karl driving over to show us the property well within 24 hours of us initially contacting him, and completing and presenting our offer the afternoon of us viewing. Seth also went above and beyond driving back to town that evening to meet with the vendor, coming down to see my partner at home and then myself who was out for dinner with friends. From there he went back to the vendor that night, and our offer was accepted the next morning. We were on a tight deadline to complete the purchase of a new property to become unconditional on our property we were selling. With these two on the team we went from viewing to unconditional within 48 hours. I don’t doubt without these two going the extra mile, well outside “normal” office hours we would not have met the deadline we had to find and purchase our new home. If you’re looking for a team that will go the extra mile & think outside the box to find solutions that will keep both parties happy, then the Karl Davis team are it. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to sell, or even buy property in the future.

D & K Hope | Waihi purchasers

We have been looking for a lifestyle property for quite sometime down in Hauraki/Paeroa area, and Bayleys have been our preferred company from the start. Everybody from the Karl Davis Team has been so helpful and always kept in touch when suitable properties came onto the market. We have finally found a beautiful property that is just perfect, and we would not hesitate to recommend Bayleys to anybody that is looking to purchase in a rural or semi rural area. Great service, with very quick communication and local knowledge.

Breedveld | Ngatea purchasers

When it was time to sell our lifestyle property, we talked with several agencies and determined that Karl Davis Team at Bayleys, Ngatea, would best meet our needs for taking our place to market. The agents and behind-the-scenes support staff collaborated with us at each step of the appraisal, marketing, and sale process. This collaboration included exploring options for selling, assessing choices of photography and videography professionals specialising in real-estate presentation, and co-writing text for print and web ads. The team demonstrated deep local and sector knowledge, extensive experience selling rural lifestyle properties, and care in considering our aspirations at critical decision points. They were good people to work with and we are grateful for their "heavy lifting" through to the end--and the resulting success. Thank you, KDT, Bayleys, Ngatea.

Kennedy-Simpson | Ngatea

The entire process, from our initial conversation with Karl about listing our property to its successful sale, was executed flawlessly. Karl was consistently prompt and attentive to our needs at every stage, keeping us informed after each open day and viewing. Even when interest was low, he and his team left no stone unturned in their search for a buyer. Their dedication and communication were exceptional, and we highly recommend Karl and his team to anyone considering selling their property. In fact, we were so impressed that we have since listed another property we own with them.

Brian & Robin | Pukekawa

Nice people to deal with, if they did not have an answer to a question they went and found it and phoned you. Kept well informed all the way through, and on auction day were the best negotiators. What more can you ask for.

Ireland | Thames

I found the team at Bayleys very easy to work with. They kept me fully informed throughout the whole process from listing to a successful auction. Very professional. I would certainly recommend them - 10/10!

Darnell | Morrinsville

I found the team at Bayleys very easy to work with. They kept me fully informed throughout the whole process from listing to a successful auction. Very professional. I would certainly recommend them.

Hart | Patetonga

Knowing Karl from the area, when it came to selling one of our sections, we wouldn’t have called anyone else. They are truly the best at what they do – Why would you go anywhere else?! The constant communication, not only from Karl but Lee, Connor and the admin staff in the office is exceptional. From a vendor’s point of view the process felt seamless and we were kept up t date with weekly reports and feedback from interested parties who viewed the property. On auction day they did not stop calling on these people to be involved until the last possible moment – resulting in a sale on the day! Karl and his team managed our expectations and exceeded them, when it comes to selling more property in the future, we wouldn’t go anywhere else. We would highly recommend this team to achieve results!

R & K England | Miranda

The level of service and knowledge that Karl and his team provided me during the sale of my property was exceptional. They were all easy to deal with, and nothing was a problem. Karl is supported by strong resources and a team that go above and beyond to get things done. Even in this tough market they left no stone unturned to give me the best possible chance on auction day, they achieved this with multiple bidders in the room resulting in a sale which I was happy to accept. If you are thinking of selling, don’t go anywhere else!

Cranfield | Meremere

Working with Seth and the wider team was a great experience in what can typically be a stressful time. Seth – Mature beyond his years conducted himself with constant professionalism and knowledge of the industry he has emersed himself into. The details were explained thoroughly, and clear communication was a high priority throughout. They all did a great job on the sale of my property, from start to finish I was impressed! I wouldn’t hesitate to go anywhere else other than the Karl Davis team at Bayleys when selling any property.

Flynn | Turua

We couldn’t be happier to work with Karl and the team from Bayleys. Their attention to detail was second to none, the communication and reporting systems they have in place during the campaign gave us nothing but confidence throughout the entire process. The auction was competitive and Karl, Lee and the team created an environment which was supportive, knowledgeable, functional, and transparent and at no time we felt under pressure or excluded. We’ve seen first-hand why they are one of the best real estate teams in New Zealand. We couldn’t recommend the team more highly and happy to tell anyone that will listen.

Gabb | Paeroa

It is with the greatest pleasure that we were given the opportunity to have Karl and his team from Bayleys Real estate to market and sell our property with a very successful auction. From the advertising to the result it has been a pleasurable journey. They have all gone out of their way with the utmost professional care and we cannot thank them enough. We would recommend their services to anyone who wishes to undertake a stress less and enjoyable ride to the selling of their property. Thank you so much guys.

Roebuck | Turua

Great team, great communication, outstanding knowledge and expertise.  Not only were we a purchaser but soon after a vendor.  We were well looked after, well informed and 100% satisfied with the hard work Lee, and his team put in.

O'Meara & Bax | Hikutaia

Recently we made the decision to list our property with Team Karl Davis and took the option to go to auction, we had previously purchased a bare block via auction through Karl’s team. Both my wife and I actually enjoyed the whole process and believe that was a lot to do with dealing with Karl and his team. All the team at Bayleys are very passionate about what they do and professional. Behind the scenes where genuinely happy for us when the hammer fell. If you are looking for a premier real estate team that gets results  then we don’t think you could get any better than the team at Bayleys , and more so Karl’s team.

McKenzie | Puriri

When it came to selling our lifestyle block, there was no-one else we would want representing us than Karl and Lee from Bayleys.  Their professionalism is next level, while their down-to-earth approach makes the entire process easy, comfortable and as stress-free as possible. With an unprecedented amount of interest in our property, Karl and Lee worked tirelessly to make sure all potential buyers were contacted and, when we got a pre-auction offer, worked to ensure all interested parties were there on the day. The auction went perfectly, giving us the result we wanted.  I can't recommend the Bayleys team highly enough.

P & K Lance | Karnagahake

When it came to selling we knew we wanted to use Karl and his team at Bayleys.  Karl and his team were always just a phone call away and provided fantastic support throughout the auction process and negotiating. They maintained great communication throughout the sale process which resulted in a fast sale of our property.  Thanks Seth, Lee, and Karl!

Jordan & Sarah | Paeroa

It is the expertise and passion that drives the Karl Davis Team to achieve results; from devising a plan with flexibility, though to completing the deal, their communication and commitment was faultless. The support Karl and his senior team gave to Seth is invaluable, well-done Seth you were great to work with. Great Result – highly recommend!

Saunders | Kaihere

We would definitely recommend Karl and his team to anyone thinking of bringing their property to the market. Karl & Lee made the process a breeze and we were thrilled with the final result.

Heappey | Pipiroa

I had no hesitation in choosing Karl Davis to sell my section and with the country going into an abrupt Covid level 4 lockdown I was hesitant in proceeding; Karl and his team trusted their processes and we continued with the auction campaign. Bayleys quickly moved into a new way of conducting the auction under these circumstances with a live auction from the auctioneers living room. There were seven buyers on the phone, all given the ability to bid on my property. Karl’s philosophy was to never over-promise, and his focus always remained on getting me the best price possible for my property. Karl and his team went above and beyond in such extraordinary circumstances, a quality not seen in every sales agent. I would recommend them to anyone wishing to sell their property with someone who genuinely understands the area and current market.

Jeff Alley | Paeroa

I chose Lee because I trusted him, and throughout the process he came through for me, answering queries and using superlative negotiation skills to the benefit of us both.

Veldsman | Ngatea

We recently sold some lifestyle blocks through Bayleys. We found Lee and the team to be great to deal with and Lee worked tirelessly for us, all were sold in quick succession achieving asking price on all lots – Thank you guys!

Mead | Waitakaruru

To say we achieved a great result was an understatement and what this came down to was not just that the whole the process was professional and polished, but that Karl possesses a magic that other agents just don’t have, resulting in a sale that set a new precedent, redefining values in the area.

Skilling | Komata

The Karl Davis team worked exceptionally hard for me and my family getting this one over the line. The integrity and honesty, passion and commitment that they all show is outstanding.  There was no need for them to work as hard for me as they did, but gee I appreciate every single ounce of effort they put in! 

Hawthorn | Kerepehi

Karl and his team worked tirelessly for seven weeks while our property was on the market, he runs a smooth operation with admin & sales support making it easy despite complexities with our subdivision. We were thrilled to receive over 26 tenders including multiple cash offers, and that would not have been achievable without Karl and his outstanding team.

Stevens | Waihi

My family and I have found this experience working with Lee and the Bayleys team awesome, they went above and beyond. An absolute pleasure – Thank you!

Pui | Kaihere

Bayleys Real Estate Ngatea recently sold our property by auction and it was an amazing experience. They run a very slick operation. The agents were attentive and worked hard for us, the auction process and the auction itself was organised, transparent and achieved a great result for us. Overall a class act!

McLeod & Workman | Paeroa

Skilling | Komata

The Karl Davis team worked exceptionally hard for me and my family getting this one over the line. The integrity and honesty, passion and commitment that they all show is outstanding.  There was no need for them to work as hard for me as they did, but gee I appreciate every single ounce of effort they put in! 

Hawthorn | Kerepehi

Karl and his team worked tirelessly for seven weeks while our property was on the market, he runs a smooth operation with admin & sales support making it easy despite complexities with our subdivision. We were thrilled to receive over 26 tenders including multiple cash offers, and that would not have been achievable without Karl and his outstanding team.

Stevens | Waihi

My family and I have found this experience working with Lee and the Bayleys team awesome, they went above and beyond. An absolute pleasure – Thank you!

Pui | Kaihere

Bayleys Real Estate Ngatea recently sold our property by auction and it was an amazing experience. They run a very slick operation. The agents were attentive and worked hard for us, the auction process and the auction itself was organised, transparent and achieved a great result for us. Overall a class act!

McLeod & Workman | Paeroa

We appreciated their professional approach, weekly detailed written reports and overall communication. A true team that went the extra mile. We feel we got maximum value for our property.

McKinney | Waihi

Working with Karl, Lee, and the KDT Bayleys team has been an absolute pleasure. They kept us regularly updated throughout the entire sales process, providing feedback from all interested parties and viewings. The team's emphasis on customer care and communication, led by Karl, has made the entire experience effortless and stress-free. Karl and Lee's extensive industry knowledge and vast network of contacts sets them apart from others. We would not hesitate to work with Karl and the team again for any of our future property needs.

Murdock | Miranda

We have purchased and sold multiple properties in the Waikato are over the years and to say Karl, Lee and the whole team are the best is an understatement. Their professionalism, attention to details and knowledge of the current market environment is faultless. They consistently went over and above for us and always made us feel involved throughout the process. To trust this team with your real estate needs is a no brainer, no other company or agent can provide the level of service they can, there is always a team member available to answer a call or take potential purchasers over the property, they don’t miss a beat!

Jones | Patetonga

Not only does Karl Davis have a reputation in being the best in the business he backs this by offering a service no one else can match. Our agent Seth Roe was exceptional – A young lad with a very bright future in Real Estate. Nothing was ever a problem and his honesty and transparency refreshing. When you list with the Karl Davis Team you don’t get someone offering the world and delivering short of those targets, you get industry knowledge, great communication and proven results time after time. They understand the pressure of a vendor selling what is often their biggest asset and when I trusted them with my home, they always made me feel part of an educated decision process and always had a clear, confident direction throughout the campaign. I would not hesitate in recommending this team from Bayleys to anyone looking to sell their home or investment property.

Ellis | Karangahake

With nearly 20 years’ experience specialising in the lifestyle and farm market in the larger Waikato area we had no hesitation recently listing our lifestyle block with the Karl Davis Team. We have known Karl personally for over 40+ years and he has proven success with previously selling our other properties over the years. What you get with Karl is a team, and we appreciate the team environment he has built; Working with Karl, Lee, Grace and the rest of the team provided us with unwavering resources and communication throughout the entire process from start to finish! Do yourself a favour and list your property with a team that has proven results in the area and continue to give back to the local community.

B & M Karl | Waitakaruru

Lee Carter did a brilliant job setting up the relisting of my property enabling maximum exposure and interest whilst keeping me informed at all times and Karl Davis is a straight shooter his expertise and experience in real estate drove the sale process to an outstanding result. 

Douglas | Kaiaua

When I decided to sell our 8-hectare block in Miranda I didn’t hesitate to contact Lee and Karl at Bayleys. They worked diligently on gathering buyers for the auction day. They put together a strong marketing plan that targeted the right buyers and the communication from the entire team was outstanding with regular updates and feedback, I was kept informed throughout the whole campaign. On the auction day I was impressed by the negotiation process, at no point did they stop trying to get the price I was hoping for. I knew I had a great property with views out over the Firth of Tames but it was up to them to market it and find the right buyer. I would highly recommend contacting the Karl Davis Team if you are wanting to sell your property, I have no regrets!

Boulter | Miranda

Without a doubt, the best team I have worked with in real estate, and I won’t sell with anyone else! Karl has managed to create a team with such experience, knowledge, and unwavering dedication to the sale of my property. The whole campaign was seamless and although the property didn’t sell on auction day, they never over promised anything, and I felt involved the whole time. The work they put in to get not one but two offers in front of me was faultless and gave me so much confidence in any decisions I had to make along the way. Grace & Madison in the office provide a level of service not experienced in many businesses, enabling the sales team to do what they do best. The communication & efficiency is another layer of strength added to this team. I have used Karl, Lee and the team to both purchase and sell properties recently and the team culture is second to none, I would highly recommend anyone in the Waikato area to use Karl, Lee and the team to sell your property, big or small they have got you covered!

Anderson | Patetonga

I would like to extend a huge thanks to Karl & Seth for all their help working with us to secure the purchase of our new property. While doing their best for their vendor, they went the extra mile, with Karl driving over to show us the property well within 24 hours of us initially contacting him, and completing and presenting our offer the afternoon of us viewing. Seth also went above and beyond driving back to town that evening to meet with the vendor, coming down to see my partner at home and then myself who was out for dinner with friends. From there he went back to the vendor that night, and our offer was accepted the next morning. We were on a tight deadline to complete the purchase of a new property to become unconditional on our property we were selling. With these two on the team we went from viewing to unconditional within 48 hours. I don’t doubt without these two going the extra mile, well outside “normal” office hours we would not have met the deadline we had to find and purchase our new home. If you’re looking for a team that will go the extra mile & think outside the box to find solutions that will keep both parties happy, then the Karl Davis team are it. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to sell, or even buy property in the future.

D & K Hope | Waihi purchasers

We have been looking for a lifestyle property for quite sometime down in Hauraki/Paeroa area, and Bayleys have been our preferred company from the start. Everybody from the Karl Davis Team has been so helpful and always kept in touch when suitable properties came onto the market. We have finally found a beautiful property that is just perfect, and we would not hesitate to recommend Bayleys to anybody that is looking to purchase in a rural or semi rural area. Great service, with very quick communication and local knowledge.

Breedveld | Ngatea purchasers

When it was time to sell our lifestyle property, we talked with several agencies and determined that Karl Davis Team at Bayleys, Ngatea, would best meet our needs for taking our place to market. The agents and behind-the-scenes support staff collaborated with us at each step of the appraisal, marketing, and sale process. This collaboration included exploring options for selling, assessing choices of photography and videography professionals specialising in real-estate presentation, and co-writing text for print and web ads. The team demonstrated deep local and sector knowledge, extensive experience selling rural lifestyle properties, and care in considering our aspirations at critical decision points. They were good people to work with and we are grateful for their "heavy lifting" through to the end--and the resulting success. Thank you, KDT, Bayleys, Ngatea.

Kennedy-Simpson | Ngatea

The entire process, from our initial conversation with Karl about listing our property to its successful sale, was executed flawlessly. Karl was consistently prompt and attentive to our needs at every stage, keeping us informed after each open day and viewing. Even when interest was low, he and his team left no stone unturned in their search for a buyer. Their dedication and communication were exceptional, and we highly recommend Karl and his team to anyone considering selling their property. In fact, we were so impressed that we have since listed another property we own with them.

Brian & Robin | Pukekawa

Nice people to deal with, if they did not have an answer to a question they went and found it and phoned you. Kept well informed all the way through, and on auction day were the best negotiators. What more can you ask for.

Ireland | Thames

I found the team at Bayleys very easy to work with. They kept me fully informed throughout the whole process from listing to a successful auction. Very professional. I would certainly recommend them - 10/10!

Darnell | Morrinsville

I found the team at Bayleys very easy to work with. They kept me fully informed throughout the whole process from listing to a successful auction. Very professional. I would certainly recommend them.

Hart | Patetonga

Knowing Karl from the area, when it came to selling one of our sections, we wouldn’t have called anyone else. They are truly the best at what they do – Why would you go anywhere else?! The constant communication, not only from Karl but Lee, Connor and the admin staff in the office is exceptional. From a vendor’s point of view the process felt seamless and we were kept up t date with weekly reports and feedback from interested parties who viewed the property. On auction day they did not stop calling on these people to be involved until the last possible moment – resulting in a sale on the day! Karl and his team managed our expectations and exceeded them, when it comes to selling more property in the future, we wouldn’t go anywhere else. We would highly recommend this team to achieve results!

R & K England | Miranda

The level of service and knowledge that Karl and his team provided me during the sale of my property was exceptional. They were all easy to deal with, and nothing was a problem. Karl is supported by strong resources and a team that go above and beyond to get things done. Even in this tough market they left no stone unturned to give me the best possible chance on auction day, they achieved this with multiple bidders in the room resulting in a sale which I was happy to accept. If you are thinking of selling, don’t go anywhere else!

Cranfield | Meremere

Working with Seth and the wider team was a great experience in what can typically be a stressful time. Seth – Mature beyond his years conducted himself with constant professionalism and knowledge of the industry he has emersed himself into. The details were explained thoroughly, and clear communication was a high priority throughout. They all did a great job on the sale of my property, from start to finish I was impressed! I wouldn’t hesitate to go anywhere else other than the Karl Davis team at Bayleys when selling any property.

Flynn | Turua

We couldn’t be happier to work with Karl and the team from Bayleys. Their attention to detail was second to none, the communication and reporting systems they have in place during the campaign gave us nothing but confidence throughout the entire process. The auction was competitive and Karl, Lee and the team created an environment which was supportive, knowledgeable, functional, and transparent and at no time we felt under pressure or excluded. We’ve seen first-hand why they are one of the best real estate teams in New Zealand. We couldn’t recommend the team more highly and happy to tell anyone that will listen.

Gabb | Paeroa

It is with the greatest pleasure that we were given the opportunity to have Karl and his team from Bayleys Real estate to market and sell our property with a very successful auction. From the advertising to the result it has been a pleasurable journey. They have all gone out of their way with the utmost professional care and we cannot thank them enough. We would recommend their services to anyone who wishes to undertake a stress less and enjoyable ride to the selling of their property. Thank you so much guys.

Roebuck | Turua

Great team, great communication, outstanding knowledge and expertise.  Not only were we a purchaser but soon after a vendor.  We were well looked after, well informed and 100% satisfied with the hard work Lee, and his team put in.

O'Meara & Bax | Hikutaia

Recently we made the decision to list our property with Team Karl Davis and took the option to go to auction, we had previously purchased a bare block via auction through Karl’s team. Both my wife and I actually enjoyed the whole process and believe that was a lot to do with dealing with Karl and his team. All the team at Bayleys are very passionate about what they do and professional. Behind the scenes where genuinely happy for us when the hammer fell. If you are looking for a premier real estate team that gets results  then we don’t think you could get any better than the team at Bayleys , and more so Karl’s team.

McKenzie | Puriri

When it came to selling our lifestyle block, there was no-one else we would want representing us than Karl and Lee from Bayleys.  Their professionalism is next level, while their down-to-earth approach makes the entire process easy, comfortable and as stress-free as possible. With an unprecedented amount of interest in our property, Karl and Lee worked tirelessly to make sure all potential buyers were contacted and, when we got a pre-auction offer, worked to ensure all interested parties were there on the day. The auction went perfectly, giving us the result we wanted.  I can't recommend the Bayleys team highly enough.

P & K Lance | Karnagahake

When it came to selling we knew we wanted to use Karl and his team at Bayleys.  Karl and his team were always just a phone call away and provided fantastic support throughout the auction process and negotiating. They maintained great communication throughout the sale process which resulted in a fast sale of our property.  Thanks Seth, Lee, and Karl!

Jordan & Sarah | Paeroa

It is the expertise and passion that drives the Karl Davis Team to achieve results; from devising a plan with flexibility, though to completing the deal, their communication and commitment was faultless. The support Karl and his senior team gave to Seth is invaluable, well-done Seth you were great to work with. Great Result – highly recommend!

Saunders | Kaihere

We would definitely recommend Karl and his team to anyone thinking of bringing their property to the market. Karl & Lee made the process a breeze and we were thrilled with the final result.

Heappey | Pipiroa

I had no hesitation in choosing Karl Davis to sell my section and with the country going into an abrupt Covid level 4 lockdown I was hesitant in proceeding; Karl and his team trusted their processes and we continued with the auction campaign. Bayleys quickly moved into a new way of conducting the auction under these circumstances with a live auction from the auctioneers living room. There were seven buyers on the phone, all given the ability to bid on my property. Karl’s philosophy was to never over-promise, and his focus always remained on getting me the best price possible for my property. Karl and his team went above and beyond in such extraordinary circumstances, a quality not seen in every sales agent. I would recommend them to anyone wishing to sell their property with someone who genuinely understands the area and current market.

Jeff Alley | Paeroa

I chose Lee because I trusted him, and throughout the process he came through for me, answering queries and using superlative negotiation skills to the benefit of us both.

Veldsman | Ngatea

We recently sold some lifestyle blocks through Bayleys. We found Lee and the team to be great to deal with and Lee worked tirelessly for us, all were sold in quick succession achieving asking price on all lots – Thank you guys!

Mead | Waitakaruru

To say we achieved a great result was an understatement and what this came down to was not just that the whole the process was professional and polished, but that Karl possesses a magic that other agents just don’t have, resulting in a sale that set a new precedent, redefining values in the area.
