About Karin

Karin Blaauw is a listing agent for the Hibiscus Coast and North Shore, with particular depth across Stanmore Bay, Gulf Harbour and Manly, extending through Matakatia Bay, Army Bay, Arkles Bay, Red Beach, Orewa, Hatfields Beach, Silverdale and Millwater. If you're weighing up selling anywhere on the Whangaparaoa peninsula or the wider coast, this is her home ground. Over the past year Karin has sold 28 properties, averaging over $1 million each, with homes reaching an agreed sale in a median of just 27 days on market. That record sits on a foundation of more than 100 five-star reviews and a 5-star rating — from first-home sellers to downsizers, investors realising long-term holdings, and families relocating across the Tasman. Her approach is deliberately unhurried and methodical. Prepare the property properly, put the information on the table early — title, council records, the home's history — and let a well-presented, honestly-priced home find its buyers without games. That method is why more than seven in ten of her listings come from past clients and referrals. RateMyAgent recognises Karin as a Price Expert and places her in the top 20% nationwide for customer satisfaction — independent confirmation that her appraisals hold and her clients would work with her again. Two decades in financial services in South Africa before real estate left Karin fluent in the technical side of a big decision, and bilingual in English and Afrikaans — a particular help to South African families making the move to New Zealand. If selling is on your mind, start by knowing where you stand. An appraisal with Karin is honest, written, drawn from recent comparable settled sales, and carries no obligation to proceed.

Fantastic first home sale experience. Professional, patient, great advice. Highly recommended!

Fantastic first home sale experience. Professional, patient, great advice. Highly recommended!

We had a fantastic experience working with our agent on the sale of our first home. As first-time sellers, we really appreciated her patience, professionalism, and valuable advice throughout the entire process. She guided us every step of the way and made what could have been a stressful experience much easier. The marketing campaign was excellent, especially the professional video, which attracted a large number of groups to our open homes. Thanks to her expertise and dedication, we successfully sold our property at auction. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, responsible, and hardworking real estate agent.

Karin is an absolute STAR!

Karin is an absolute STAR!

Karin worked extremely hard to assist us in making our property sale happen. She attended multiple meetings with the buyers - kept us in the loop every step of the way, and thought outside of the box to make the deal happen. I would recommend Karin any day of the week for anyone looking to sell their home.

Make the impossible possible!

Make the impossible possible!

After five months on the market with other agents and no success, we were starting to feel quite discouraged. Making the decision to move to Karin was one of the best decisions we made. From the very beginning, Karin’s attention to detail and expertise stood out. She provided valuable advice on how to present our home and guided us through every step of the process with confidence and professionalism. Within just five days of launching our campaign with Karin, we had five offers on the table, and five days later the SOLD sticker was up. It honestly felt surreal after such a long and frustrating experience beforehand. Karin is incredibly hardworking, proactive, and an excellent communicator. She kept us informed throughout the entire process and was always available to answer questions and provide updates. Her knowledge of the market, dedication, and genuine commitment to achieving the best outcome for her clients truly set her apart. We cannot recommend Karin highly enough. Thank you, Karin, for making what seemed impossible become a reality!

A Trusted Guide Through a Difficult Season

A Trusted Guide Through a Difficult Season

Selling our home was not just a transaction for us, it was part of a very emotional and challenging season in our lives. After months of uncertainty and waiting, Karin stepped in just over three months ago and brought fresh hope, encouragement, and determination to the process. From the beginning, Karin believed in our home and worked tirelessly to help us achieve a successful sale. Through every open home, update and conversation, she remained positive, supportive, and committed. Her communication was excellent, and we always felt cared for and understood during what was personally a difficult season for our family. What stood out most was not only Karin’s professionalism, but also her heart. She genuinely walked this journey with us, celebrated the wins with us and never lost faith along the way. We are deeply grateful for her dedication, kindness, and persistence and we highly recommend Karin to anyone looking for an agent who truly goes above and beyond for her clients. Thank you, Karin, for helping bring this chapter to a beautiful close. Juanita & Chris

Smooth sailing

Smooth sailing

Buying our new home was always going to be a nerve-wracking experience, and navigating an auction process added another layer of complexity. What made it easier was having Karin who was genuinely communicative throughout — we never felt left in the dark about where things stood or what the next steps were. Questions were answered promptly and without the runaround you sometimes expect in property sales. There was a patience to the process that we appreciated; we never felt rushed or pressured, even when things got tense around auction day. It's a refreshing experience when an agent makes what can be a stressful milestone feel manageable. We're really happy with our new home and grateful for the role they played in getting us there.
