What a privilege to work with Karin Smith@Realty…twice!
Buying and selling ain’t easy! Yet for both events five years apart Karin made it seem so. Buying our three bedroom house at Tamborine Mountain in 2019 was uncomplicated and faultless for both the seller and the buyer. Naturally, Karin was the first local real estate expert we turned to when selling became imperative this year. Just a quick phone call provided excellent advice with regard to market value, and low and behold, Karin also had an ideal financed-approved buyer, ready to inspect immediately. Whoa! Just too easy! But maybe too quick – the house had long term tenants. Karin expertly and patiently shepherded the buyer and the seller (us) through to an amazing 5 1/2 week turn around with constant contact and liaison with the buyer, advice to us on presentation and who to contact locally to help with the exit clean, the exterior clean-up and repairs needed. In the end the buyer was delighted. The seller as well. Could we have got more for the place? Probably. But the sale would have taken longer, been more complicated, and caused stresses not needed in this day and age. As well as being an attentive real estate agent Karin Smith is a remarkable human being. Personable. Always friendly. Always positive. And always thinking of her clients ahead of any other considerations. Tamborine Mountain and the clients she has represented, and will do so in the future, are truly lucky to have this gifted woman helping achieve such important, and sometimes complex goals.

Fantastic agent
Karen is a fantastic agent who walks you through every step of the selling process and supports you at all times.

Energy to Burn
Karin displays a comprehensive knowledge of the real-estate market on Tambourine Mountain and confidently leads the buyer through the many decisions that need to be made regarding the sale process. We knew at the outset that we were ‘time-poor’ (not residing on the mountain), however Karin had the energy, drive, and creative solutions we needed to see the house sold quickly, and for the right price. Karin communicates well, and often, keeping us fully informed as the sales process unfolds.
Honesty and integrity were clearly evident which gave us confidence the property was in good hands. Karin has a wide network of connections on the mountain and was highly recommended to us by ‘word-of -mouth’. She did not disappoint.

Karin Smith above all other agents.
Above all other agents we interviewed Karin proved her extensive market knowledge by easily providing a comparable market analysis that gave us confidence in her ability and professionalism to achieve a very satisfying result on completion of sale of our home. Karin was always available and ready to discuss our concerns or queries regarding the market and potential buyers and kept us informed as the sale progressed. Overall Karin’s warmth and friendly manner coupled with her professionalism makes her a high performing and results driven agent in the Tamborine Mountain market. We always had confidence in Karin’s ability to sell our home.

Above and beyond
Karin went above and beyond what you could reasonably expect and hope for a real estate agent. After searching for a property for more than 12 months, Karin helped us find the right property within a short timeframe. Karin was extremely thoughtful, honest, and kept us up-to-date regularly. Nothing was too much trouble. If you’re looking for a truly helpful, genuine and trustworthy agent we highly recommend Karin.

Would recommend Karin to everyone.
Karin as an agent is knowledgeable, respectful and determined. This is the 2nd time we have delt with Karin. First we purchased a home she was the agent for and due to that experience we asked her to sell that same property 7 years later. She kept us informed, her communication was excellent and her friendly manner made for a quick and succeeding sale. We highly recommend her.

Five Star Excellence in Service
Selling a house can be one of life’s great stressful experiences, but not if you have a realtor like Karin on your side. In the sale of our difficult property we found her knowledge of market requirements, her network of tradies needed and her communication skills to be of the highest standard. We were impressed with her loyalty and integrity as well as her persistence and extraordinarily hard work and long hours undertaken on our behalf. We wish her well and have no hesitation in recommending her to a wider public.

Jacqui Bennett

Karin recently sold us our dream home. During our search we encountered aggressive and unscrupulous practices by other agents but Karin was a breath of fresh air. Her knowledge of not just the property but also the local area was unparalleled and her integrity and professionalism was clear at all meetings. Nothing was ever a bother for her and she went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and well informed at all times. Highly recommend this agent.

Jenny and James Husher

She is knowledgeable, experienced, helpful
I absolutely loved my experience of selling my home with Karin. Her assistance throughout was unbelievable. No where in my many years of owning houses was I blessed to have an agent with such honesty and good character. I highly recommend Karin to both buyers and sellers

Liz Druce

We are beyond thankful that we chose Karin to sell our property. Throughout our home-sale journey, she has been there every step of the way. She even advised us on finishing touches before we had our first open, and helped us with advice and support to purchase our next property once our house was sold. She went above and beyond to sell our quirky home for the highest price.

Karin is reliable, consistent and has exceptional communication. She conducted herself openly, ethically and professionally with all parties involved, and organically built relationships with our potential buyers. Karin also helped us to remain emotionally grounded during the wild ride that is home-selling! She is warm, honest, and committed to getting the job done. She provided us with a huge amount of detail about the people who inspected our property, and gave us weekly reports outlining how our property was tracking online. She also has the best commission rate around! We can’t recommend her enough. Thankyou Karin – we’re so grateful for you XX

Rob and Naomi

Thank you Karin, for helping us secure our family home on the Mountain. The service you provided was impeccable, you were extremely patient and showed great compassion and kindness when making such an important decision.
Your local knowledge was absolutely extraordinary and we will be highly recommending you and will both buy and sell through you.
Thank you.

Jane

Just want to say what a legend this lady is, nothing was too much trouble. Always upbeat and pleasant and SOLD our house in 6 weeks.
Thankyou from Craig and I, our house got the perfect new owners and we are super happy to pass it on to them. All because of Karin.

Suellen and Craig

Deb and John Greenwood

We would like to say THANK YOU Karin for making the process of selling the house so simple and stress free. From the first time you came to inspect the house, you listened and understood, what you said you would do, was done. You listened to what we said, you had empathy, we could contact you at anytime and communication was very important to you. You should be very proud of your skills as a Real Estate Agent.
Thanking You

Helen

I loved working with Karin to sell our home and would highly recommend her as an excellent sales agent. The whole process was super quick, efficient and simple with no fuss. Innitially we spoke with Karin and took her advice about pricing the property. We then went to work to present it for the sale. We had an enquiry the same day we listed it and a contract within 24 hours for the listed price. Karin is a pure delight to work with and we couldn’t have been happier with the result.

Marguerita Vorobioff & Laurie Ratcliffe

Just wanted to express my gratitude to Karin Smith for helping us purchase 62 Magnetic Drive in Tamborine Mountain. She did an excellent job.

What I liked best was that she made herself available to us practically at all times of day, regardless of it being a holiday or late in the day. Other agents we worked with would get annoyed when we would message them during such times to the point where if I saw their name I wasn’t even interested in looking at the house altogether, but with Karin, I felt much at ease throughout the entire process.

Yesterday, she popped in with a very thoughtful gift that we all enjoyed and didn’t expect.

If we do end up selling our home, we will certainly use her assistance as we know she will represent us well to buyers with a great deal of professionalism.

Farid

I recently sold my home of 15 years & purchased another home on Tamborine Mtn through one of your salespersons, Karin Smith. She was professional in manner & appearance and at the same time mindful of my feelings & expectations & very easy to be with. This was my 1st real estate experience since my husband’s death after 30+ years of marriage and she found me a home that suits my needs perfectly. She is an asset to your company. Sincerely, Jeanine Henderson.

Jeanine Henderson

“Whether a seller or a buyer I would definitely choose Karin to represent me. As a recent buyer at Tamborine Mountain (2019) I was so impressed with the professional manner and skills she used to represent her sellers and their property. It was under contract in just two days! Karin had achieved the asking price with alacrity, and then continued to represent seamlessly the good-will achieved between sellers and buyers during and even after the 45-day settlement period. Absolutely no hesitation recommending Karin…you are fantastic! Andrew”

Andrew Carroll

Thank you so much for everything you have done to get this place sold, not only quickly (a huge plus on this mountain) but also for a great price, your estimated market value was so accurate! Please know that I am truly grateful, you have been so easy to talk to and our decision to list our home was very hard but you were so understanding about our situation and compassionate to our needs. We couldn’t have found a better agent.

Felicity Mann

Well Karin had my house for sale for a year until the right buyer came along. How fantastic when it all happened. Karin quickly got on the job for me to find my next place. It was wonderful and all went so smoothly. There are not many people I trust but Karin is one of then. Thank you so much, you are an amazing person.

Margaret

Amazing Job Karin for selling our house for a record price for the area. We know it wasn’t easy but we got there. Very commendable. Will always recommend you.

Harold

Selling was the most stressful thing I had done. After dealing with other agents, Karin came in and walked us through the sale of our house and was there every step of the way.

Simon

Its not often that I meet someone who does what they say they will do. Karin did. She sold our house for what she said and did everything she said she would do. Thanks Karin for being so professional.

Fred

I have known Karin for a number of years and love her down to earth and friendly attitude. Whilst she was selling my homes, I was very impressed how calming Karin was as I find selling a house stressful. Thank you so much for everything you did to help us move on.

Julie

We were not for sale when Karin knocked on our door one day asking us if we had any thoughts about selling, as they had a keen buyer who was very interested in inspecting our property. We agreed and from that day, our lives were thrown into emotional turmoil as we wrestled with the prospect of selling our much loved home. Karin was very patient with us as we rode the emotional rollercoaster, eventually guiding us through the selling process with professionalism and genuine understanding. She is down to earth, refreshingly honest and we would thoroughly recommend Karin to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate.

Mike

Karin had been working tirelessly for me, with no guarantees for over 6 months to find me the perfect home. She listened to what I wanted, not what she wanted to sell me and eventually approached the owners of my new home, who at the time, were not on the market. Karin negotiated the deal with professionalism, dedication and a bold honesty that is a rare quality. She was very helpful every step of the way and should be congratulated. I have been very impressed by the level of service provided by Karin and would not hesitate to recommend her to any of my friends or associates.

Andrew Elefantis

Karin was absolutely awesome when it came to selling our home. She was so easy to talk to and compassionate to our situation. We listened to her recommendations and got the result we wanted. Thank you Karin for helping us move onto our next chapter in life.

Christine and Mike Harris

Karin Smith was absolutely fantastic in selling my home. She is very personable and nothing was ever too much trouble. Thank you for your professionalism.

Steve and Annette

I would like to take this opportunity to say how impressed I am with Karin and your team. She has made the whole process of buying our new home and investment enjoyable and seamless with her friendly, no fuss or pressure approach. I would strongly recommend Karin Smith to anyone for that reason.

Amanda Drysdale

Big love to Karin Smith, such a beautiful heart centred agent. After looking at many properties on the mountain to call home, she hands down is the best. #feelingblessed.

Bess Taylor

While selling our cherished house was an emotionally taxing experience, Karin provided a professional service that was underpinned by a caring attitude for what we were going through. I would highly recommend Karin to sell you house.
