Choosing a property consultant to sell your most prized asset is an important decision.
But when you choose a Living Corporation consultant, you won’t have just one person selling your property. You’ll have our entire team.
Because we take a different approach to property sales. Our consultants work together to ensure the right buyer is found who will pay the highest price possible.
That’s the Living Corporation difference!
Meet our professional, knowledgeable and enthusiastic property consultant team:
Real estate is a serious business, but it can also be fun. When you meet Balclutha branch manager Katrina Garside you know immediately she has the skills and personality to lighten the burden of selling your most important asset.
When you arrive at her office you’ll be welcomed by Buddy, the exuberant pug. Katrina will quickly put you at ease, get to know you and explain how the sales process works.
She understands that selling your house is a big decision and that you want the best advice, to be kept informed AND to get the best possible price. You will find her refreshingly honest and open, enthusiastic about selling your property and able to give you a realistic appraisal.
A local identity in the Clutha District, Katrina genuinely cares about those whose houses she sells. She is an astute observer of people, who uses her listening and negotiation skills to great effect.
Together, Katrina and her husband, Keryn, make a formidable team – with vast local knowledge of the residential and lifestyle property market, combined with a lighter side that makes the process truly enjoyable.
With Katrina Garside as your property consultant you can relax, knowing the sale of your house is in good hands.
Thought it would be nice to pass on our feedback regards the recent sale of our home in Balclutha.
Throughout the entire process we found Katrina to be both proactive and positive. As you will appreciate the "sale process" can be both draining and disheartening at times. At stages our enthusiasm may have waned slightly but Katrina managed to put a positive spin on things at opportune times.
Katrina followed up potential buyers and relayed their feedback to us which we regarded as important...it kept us in the loop and, at the end of the day, this ultimately resulted in the sale of our home!
Be assured that Katrina's involvement in the real estate market in South Otago will only, I'm sure, be positive for Living Corporation.
Regards and all the best for the future.
Lindsay McCaughanSix weeks ago we moved into our new house and wanted to write to you about your agent in Balclutha
Katrina Garside, what a wonderful person, nothing was too much trouble, all our questions were answered promptly and if Katrina didn’t know the answer she soon found it. Both she and her PA Karen went the extra mile (or should that be a kilometer) to sell our house so we could move here. In fact they felt more like friends then estate agents, and should we ever get the urge to move again we wouldn’t hesitate to have Katrina as our agent again. We were very pleasantly surprised by the Kiwiana basket of goodies we received on completion – a lovely touch which were enjoyed.
I’d recommend Katrina to anybody needing to sell their property, so a big “thank you” from us both.
Shirley & AllanWithin a week of advertising, our house in Dunedin was sold for a price far exceeding our expectations. We are indebted to Keryn and Katrina (team Garside) of Living Corporation, Balclutha . They talked us through the process of presentation, and the intricacies and legalities of the sale procedures, in layman/woman language, ensuring that we totally understood the reasoning behind the methods. We felt secure and confident to place our asset in their hands and although we were initially sceptical of the By Negotiation phrase, it became evident that it was an indicator of the present market price. The entire transaction was stress-free.
We chose Keryn and Katrina Garside, due to a previous experience in Balclutha, a year or two ago, where much energy had been expended on our behalf. On the latter occasion, although Dunedin was not their usual trading area, we were justified in believing they would use their drive, professionalism, and extensive knowledge of the housing market, to serve us well.
Thank you both.
