I engaged Katie based on her photo. I wanted someone who portrayed “real”, not marketing hype and who was pleasant. I wanted a no-frills sale in the sense that I wanted a fair price for my property but I didn’t want to be “sold to” or badgered by an agent. And most importantly I wanted someone who I was confident would work for me, rather than the buyers. I wanted a clear intelligent communicator and Katie proved to be all that I required. She worked with what I wanted (no open homes, masks to be worn) without qualms and kept me informed during the process. Although I knew the market had slowed and thus a sale could take more time than a year ago (and prices could be lower), Katie was extremely positive that she could sell the property and was very supportive during the process. She managed the marketing well, putting thought into how to best portray the home. Although she consulted on this, I found no fault with her judgement. Her experience shone through, making it very simple to agree the marketing. Watching other nearby properties languish, I was not hopeful of a quick sale. I was pleasantly surprised by the speed of sale (a little over 4 weeks) and getting a realistic price. I can only put the pace of the sale down to Katie’s expertise in the local market and her hard work. For an effective and immensely pleasant agent to work with, you couldn’t go past Katie.

It was our good fortune to meet you while purchasing our beautiful Cromwell "Victorian" Villa. You conducted such a professional, transparent and seamless Sale and Purchase transaction that we ourselves considered a 'fair' deal was struck. You went beyond the call of duty to ensure our shift into our new home and into the Cromwell community was warm and friendly. Katie, you are a very special Bayleys 'Gem'.

From the outset Katie's relaxed, yet professional manner puts one at ease. Her approach places the vendor front and centre of all decisions, and she is always alongside to guide and advise as required. Katie comes with undoubted integrity, she does what she undertakes to do and gets it done in a no-nonsense manner, including delivering on expectations of a timely sale at a great price.

Our first contact to Bayleys was directly with Katie and it was clear that Katie knew the area very well and had the type of local knowledge we were looking for. Katie is a real professional, she has a relaxed, but no-nonsense approach. She was up front with the facts of what type of market we were going to be dealing with and made quick and valuable recommendations in relation to the property. She also went above and beyond in organising property repairs for us. Finding the right buyer in a tricky market was always going to take time. Katie had no hesitation in recommending different approaches to market the property and she was very proactive in keeping me up to date with any news over time. I would have no hesitation in recommending Katie to anyone in the Cromwell / Bannockburn area, Katie is a real pro!

Because my agent Katie looked after me superbly well. She kept me informed along the way and never lost her confidence that my property would sell. She hung in and helped me to do the same. She was honest in her dealings with potential buyers and eventually achieved the sale price I wanted. I couldn’t have asked for anything more.

Awesome communication throughout the whole process nothing was too much trouble and I feel we ended up with the best price we could on the day despite difficult circumstances of selling at this time

Happy with personal contact of your rep.

We recently purchased a property in Cromwell which Katie was selling. As we were from Dunedin and had travelled through to view the property, Katie had the necessary paperwork and information all on hand and ready for us to take away from day one. We expressed our interest in buying the property and Katie helped us along the way by offering advice and mapping our path to secure it. As we were yet to sell our own property she went above and beyond in her availability to us to also offer advice and answer any questions we had about our own property sale. Without Katie's support and drive throughout, we don't believe we would have managed to obtain our new home. Thank you Katie for everything you've assisted us with - we're very happy with our new home and appreciate your help.

We have had a hassle-free transaction so no reason not to recommend.

Good & prompt service.

Katie was a pleasure to work with as I reside in Australia - She did absolutely everything to market and successfully sell 21 Jollys Road, Cromwell. Katies negotiation skills were first class.

In case you want to know … We bought our Cromwell house through Katie Seymour. We were moving from quite a large property in Wairarapa. Katie fairly represented the new property and on several occasions as required cut to the chase with a minimum of BS. The process, although quite rapid in one sense, was also quite lengthy. Katie kept us in the loop resulting in the purchase of a gem of a house. We’re happy. You likely will be too should you deal with Katie.

Very easy to deal with :)

Your Cromwell agents are top rate, Katie Seymour in particular.

The agent worked hard to get my sale. Actually she coaxed along three sales to make it all happen the day before the Christmas shut down.

Efficient and easy to deal with.

10/10 simply because of the agent we used, honest, reliable, and trusting. Katie puts a good face to an industry that is full of surprise agents.
