Simply the Best Forget the Rest!
From the moment we met Bronwyn we knew we had found the right agent. When she made the statement "I will get you top dollar" it was not some glib remark, it was a call to action that simply rang true! ...and then very quickly that result of top dollar happened. We followed, to the letter, every suggestion Bronwyn made, and then actioned her advice..... What a star! We are very, very happy with the result, and for the guidance along the way.

FULL COMPLEMENT
Bronwyn introduced us to the property when it was first listed. Having never lived in suburbia I had a few reservations but after viewing and Bronnie taking us, by request to several more viewings, we realised this was the property for us in every way. Bronwyns local knowledge and expertise
ensured we secured the property without any fuss.

Gail and Ray Dalton (Buyer)

Best estate agent I have ever encountered
Bronwyn is excellent. She has gone over and above the norm to get my property sold. She is extremely efficient, knowledgeable and dedicated. I was leaving NZ and it was so wonderful to get the sale through so soon, as it helps a lot with me settling and buying here in the UK.

Bronwyn was on the ball all the time, and did not spare any effort or time to get this sale done. It is so refreshing to have had this experience with her.
And most of all, she is a wonderful, kind and considerate person, whom I came trust and like a lot very quickly.

Paul And Ella (Vendor)

Very helpful in our purchase
It's important when buying a property to be able to trust the agent you are dealing with. Of course, the real estate agent is working for the vendor but we found Bronwyn to be fair and realistic in our negotiations, and very helpful since the deal was sealed arranging access when we needed it and getting answers to our various queries promptly.

Murry (Buyer)

No substitute for experience
There’s no question that Bronwyn is one of the best in the industry. We’ve transacted with BK many times over the years and her no BS approach is refreshing, and a pleasure to work with.

Let’s face it, you’re spending a potentially life changing amount of money, and the agent that you work with is critical in assisting you to make that decision. Bronwyn has an uncanny ability to match people with property, and all the while giving you all the information that you need to know, and nothing that you don’t.

We wouldn’t hesitate in using BK again.

Great outcome
We asked Brownyn to help with the sale of my father's home. It was a big decision for him to make as it was his home for 30 plus years. Brownyn was kind and respectful and gave us expert advice to make the whole thing less stressful. We have ended up with a good outcome which might not have been possible without her knowledge and expertise.

Leigh & Neil Rutherford (Buyer)

Bronwyn achieved a great result for us. She was very professional and a pleasure to work with.
Bronwyn made the sale process very easy for us. She had sound, accurate knowledge of both the market and the potential pool of purchasers and she gave us really good advice at every stage. She and her staff were always respectful and friendly and they kept us informed of progress at every stage.

Bronwyn and her staff were very professional in the way that they dealt with us and there were effective systems for dealing with one of the vendors living in a different city. There was also a tenant living in our property and they did a good job of marketing the property and working with the tenant to ensure that potential purchasers could view the property.

We have no hesitation in recommending Bronwyn and The Agency to anyone wanting to sell a property.

Good communication and updates on our property.
Bronwyn helped us sell our home in which proved to be a very tough market. We were kept informed with weekly reports with who had interest in our home and the marketing sites showing online interest.

A job well done!
Bronwyn was a pleasure to work with, she was extremely friendly and personable.
I had the utmost confidence in her at all times and she kept us informed of all goings on.
When it came to the crunch she again proved her worth not only in selling but helping us to achieve our future property moving forward. Great job, well done.

Bronwyn knows her business and made us feel completely at ease during the whole selling process. Selling and buying can be such an incredibly stressful time, but her assurance and experience facilitated a smooth transaction. We wouldn't have trusted anyone else in Gisborne with the sale of our house - we can't recommend her highly enough.

Michelle & David (Vendor)

Professional and Efficient!
Bronwyn was instrumental in the quick sale of our property.
We were initially unsure whether to renovate and rent or to sell as is, we asked Bronwyn if she could find us someone who wanted a bit of a project, and didn’t want to spend too long on the market we would sell.
She certainly delivered. As soon as we gave her to go ahead, she took people though and an offer was accepted right away.
Always professional and with efficient communication made working with Bronwyn a great experience.

First house purchase in Gizzy :)
Kathryn helped us immensely as we were new to Gisborne, we told her out remit and she found us a great house.
Covid could have potentially provided a curve ball, but everything was carried out within regulations and we settled on time.
Would definitely use Bronwyn Kay again!

Sally & Lee

Very happy with every aspect of Bronwyn's service

We found the whole process with Bronwyn and her team to be first class. We felt that the initial valuation range was very optimistic, but we got very close! We were also impressed at auction time that Bronwyn suggested we increase our reserve (usually it's the other way around) and while we didn't quite reach it on the day, her suggestion resulted in another $10K. Very happy, thanks everyone.

Bronwyn made it happen!

I had found my dream house online, with little time remaining until the tender closed. I needed an unconditional cash offer to have any hope of being considered in getting this beautiful home which had generated so much interest. I owned my own investment property, however I didn't have the money upfront to make an offer and the bank weren't coming to the party. I had talked with another real estate agent who also couldn't give me a solution. I had almost given up, then I spoke to Bronwyn...she very quickly came up with a plan to make it happen and by krikey was there some action! Within one day my own house was listed, and in one week I locked in an amazing unconditional cash offer on my property, which enabled me to put in an offer on my dream home. Wouldn't you know it, the ducks lined up and voila - success! I can't thank Bronwyn enough - with a near impossible situation and tight time restraints she made it happen. I have no hesitation in recommending Bronwyn to anyone wanting to sell. She's clearly a savvy professional who has incredible drive and passion for what she does. There's no way I could've done it without her. Thank you Bronwyn.
