We recently purchased a property and were expertly cared for by Gemma Troedel. As interstate customers, Gemma provided advice and information to us that was invaluable. From the moment we met Gemma, we felt comfortable and confident knowing she was looking after us. She helped us tick off the milestones and secure our little piece of paradise. She was in constant contact with us and her communication was excellent. Gemma went out of her way to help us secure the property and she was always professional and friendly in her manner. We highly recommend Gemma for any aspect of buying or selling real estate and will certainly call upon her services and expertise for any future transactions we may have. Look no further than Gemma Troedel to help you realise your real estate dreams! Thank you Gemma.
The excellent service and knowledge of the market by Karen Harman is second to none. I highly recommend Karen and her team to take care of your real estate needs. They are easy to work with and always go the extra mile.
Karen & Gemma did a fantastic job of identifying the perfect house based upon our brief. They were tireless in their efforts to intermediate on the price to reach something that I think was the right outcome for both parties. I would have no hesitation in recommending them highly for anyone looking to sell their house.
You guys are the best. Nothing was too much trouble or too hard.
I had heard of your reputation but not experienced it first hand, until now.
Short notice/no notice… twice… you were there to show us through. You made it easy to go through the process.
Everything you said was honest and true. All advice was so helpful and turned out to be the best thing to do.
We are lucky you were representing the property we wanted. Thanks so much for your guidance, and help. It made everything so easy.
Karen and Gemma did a fantastic job in selling our holiday home in Sunshine Beach. They worked tirelessly to ensure the home was always perfect for inspections, liaised with potential buyers to promote as much interest as possible, and always kept us fully informed. Karen and Gemma went above and beyond. They talked us through all the aspects to keep in mind with the market, consulted with us throughout the sale process, and in the end secured a sale for us within a few weeks. Thanks Karen and Gemma!
Best Premium Agent in Noosa-Peregian Corridor.
We have worked with Karen to buy and sell several properties in Sunshine Beach and Peregian Beach over the last ten years. On our latest sale at Peregian Beach, Karen was able to achieve a price 20% higher than the recommended list price quoted by another local agent. Karen is highly professional and her knowledge of the local market is second to none. Karen tells you the truth – not what you want to hear – and knows how to close a deal. We have and will continue to recommend Karen without hesitation to our friends and colleagues looking to buy and sell in the Noosa and Peregian area.
Gemma and Karen made the very daunting process of selling my home into a happy, simple process. Communication was never an issue, my phone calls and requests were returned and dealt with immediately. Their marketing style exceeded my expectations. I found the girls professional , honest, modern and happy people whom I actually miss seeing on a weekly basis. Thank you girls you’re awesome!
Karen and Gemma are one of the best real-estate teams I have had the
pleasure of working with. We recently bought a property through them and our dealings with them were faultless. Their friendly, professional and hard working approach made the process of buying our property easy and stress free. I could not recommend them more highly. Thank you so much Karen and Gemma for all your assistance. We could not have achieved this purchase in the short time-frame had you not gone above and beyond as you did.
In the past 25 years I have purchased four properties and sold one, so you could imagine how many agents I have dealt with over the years. Moving from Melbourne and finding a dream home is one thing, finding an agent that understands the dream and not just the sale is another. Gemma gets it – smart, honest, helpful, hard-working, and even when I gave her extra pressure, she went the extra mile. If I was ever to sell 15 Newport Street, Gemma is my agent. Well done.
Personalised touches and authenticity.
Gemma was an absolute delight to deal with during our purchase of this property. She is genuine, able to provide fantastic advice, and handled the process like a true professional.
Gemma stopped by following settlement to bring us gifts which were highly appreciated. She also has been a wealth of knowledge for us as new residents in the Peregian Beach community, from great tips on surf spots and restaurants to contacts with local trades people.
I highly recommend dealing with Gemma as she is a warm, friendly, knowledgeable and genuine professional who makes what can be a challenging experience run smoothly.
Karen is one of the best agents I’ve dealt with throughout all my real estate transactions. She operates with the utmost integrity and her market knowledge is comprehensive and current. Her negotiation skills are great and she patiently managed my interstate buyers through the differences and nuances in QLD real estate law and practice to achieve a great and quick result for me. I highly recommend Karen as a sales agent.
Expectations Exceeded. From the moment we met Karen and her team to the moment we took possession of the house we have been extremely impressed by their service and follow up. Service continued post possession giving us assistance with trades to maintain the house which was great as we are new to the area and had no contacts to call upon.
All recommendations were top class and now part of our Sunshine family.
Thanks Karen.
Great local insight! We had a fabulous experience buying our property through Karen earlier this year. Given that we are based interstate, Karen made herself available to us and arranged inspections around our schedule. Her local knowledge was invaluable and her relationships helped us to negotiate our sale. Post sale service continues to be great as we move into a renovation. We couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend her as an agent for the Sunshine Coast!
Thank you so much to Karen, Gemma and the team for handling our sale so quickly, professionally and without drama. Karen’s extensive knowledge of the local market saw us achieve what we wanted where others had failed.
Team Harman recently assisted us to sell our Sunshine Beach house. We appreciated the straight forward and honest approach to valuation, marketing & presentation. The house sold in a timely manner at the expected price.
Dear Karen and Bianca, What a terrific team. Bruce and I would like to thank you both very much for all the effort and hard work you put into the campaign to sell Mykonos 2. We realise it took a bit longer to sell and really appreciated your efforts and determination to get us a good result. Karen – we knew when we signed up that your wide knowledge and understanding, and long experience within the local area and market would stand us in good stead. Plus, of course your fabulous negotiating and selling skills. Your calmness and humour were also appreciated. Bianca – we found you to be a wonderful back up for Karen. Super efficient, meticulous, with great attention to detail, and very willing to help in any way. We know and really appreciate how much extra you did for us. You are a very personable and extremely hard working P.A. Being so far away, these things were important to us. Our very best wishes to you for the future, Wendy & Bruce
We recently purchased an investment property on the Sunshine Coast through Karen at Zinc Noosa. From the moment we arranged our first viewing through to purchase we were delighted by every interaction with Karen and Bianca. Not only were they super organized at every step, they were simply a pleasure to deal with. What could have been a difficult interstate process was made easy and enjoyable!
I am writing to extend our thanks and gratitude to Karen and Bianca regarding the sale of our Penthouse. The professionalism you both displayed during the campaign gave us confidence a sale was imminent. Your vast Real Estate experience showed in your dealings with the many prospective clients . Thanks once again, Ross & Sandy
Dear Karen, Thank you so much for all your good work in achieving a very quick sale of my home in Arakoon Crescent Sunshine Beach. It was wonderful that you were able to introduce a buyer to my property within a week of deciding to put my home on the market. As you know it was a difficult decision for me to make to put the property on the market after 16 years of enjoying this amazing beachside position with its stunning ocean views. I appreciate that your long association with the Sunshine Beach market was able to introduce a successful buyer from your database that must date back nearly 25 years since I first met you. The ease at which the negotiations and the final price that you achieved was a very satisfactory outcome and I could not be happier with the result. Given that I live overseas and I did not have to return to Australia at any time during the sale process is testimony to the professional manner in which you and your colleagues handled the complete sale and handover to the new owners. I sincerely hope the new owners will enjoy the property as much as I did. Thanks again for all your good work ,much appreciated. Kind Regards, Mark
“Karen clearly has strong knowledge and experience in the local market and was able to provide clear information and guidance on what was possible on the coast within our budget and requirements. She helped us narrow down our search really quickly and seal the deal we wanted in a really quick turn around time. Karen and her team are extremely accommodating and communicated frequently with updates to ensure that we were fully across all stages of the sale – the post-sale follow up leading to settlement was excellent and helped to make the whole process seamless.
“Karen and Bianca assisted us in the successful marketing of our beach home. We were greatly pleased with the whole experience.
Karen has an encyclopedic knowledge of every property and local sale over three decades, whether sold by her or otherwise. This provides a vendor with a level of confidence unsurpassed in the district as to where a property should be priced and pitched. She is practical and knows the marketing that is value and works.
Karen brings a calm and refreshingly professional approach to the sale process rarely found in less mature or experienced property practitioners.
We have no hesitation in recommending her.”
“I would like to thank Karen Harman for selling my property in Peregian Beach. I found Karen to have a very thorough knowledge of the area, which proved invaluable in helping to sell the property. It was due to this knowledge her persistence and her personal sales history on the Peregian Beachfront that Karen was able to secure a contract at a price that I was happy with. She did her very best to hold up the price in a slowly recovering and sometimes volatile market. I would not hesitate in recommending Karen Harman as she is in it for the long haul!”
Karen and her team were a pleasure to deal with. After actively looking to buy for some time, with quite specific requirements, we called on Karen to help us find our new home. Karen’s experience, portfolio and extensive network of contacts meant we ultimately found our house. But is was her great sense of humour and personality that made the process an enjoyable one!
We recently purchased an older property at Yaroomba in which Karen was the selling agent. She was very professional in her dealings with us whilst making what can be a difficult process quite easy from our point of view. She also went above and beyond what was required of her by acting as a conduit to the seller before settlement when we had some information needs that were important in the planning of the new house we intend to build on the site. We thoroughly recommend her as an Agent to use when buying or selling.
We have had the experience of buying and selling with Karen and have found both experiences excellent. We have consistently found her to be professional, communicative and honest. We would have no hesitation in recommending her services to anyone wanting to list. Karen’s sales knowledge in Noosa area is unsurpassed and she is earnest in her approach at all times!
I cannot recommend Karen highly enough. We dealt with many agents during our search for a new home on the Coast, and Karen truly stood out as the best. We had only a short time to visit the area, and Karen’s local knowledge about the market, as well as history about the area and specific properties was invaluable to us. She took time to get to know us and understand our needs and wants, was extremely flexible and a pleasure to spend time with. Karen always responded quickly, whether by internet enquiry, email or phone. In addition, Karen gave us excellent recommendations for services like designers, builders, solicitors, etc. Karen significantly reduced the stress involved with the whole process, and without a doubt she will be our first port of call next time we need a real estate agent.
We found Karen Harman a pleasant and well informed Real Estate Agent to deal with. We asked her to sell our property in Yaroomba. Though she seldom deals with properties this far south of Noosa she agreed to try to sell our property through Zinc Real Estate. We made it harder for her by not advertising or auctioning the property. The only advertising was on the Zinc website and in the Zinc window display. There was also a sign outside the house which was in a quiet lane-way. The property was beachfront but small and unpretentious but we were determined to try to sell it at a fair price. This was quite high for a prospective buyer thinking of buying at Yaroomba. Karen persevered and sold the property for our hoped-for price. She is now helping us find another property. Karen is an attractive and personable lady, always ready to give you a sympathetic hearing, tempered with wise advice gained from her years of experience in selling properties. She and her staff keep you advised of the state of the market and the progress of your sale. She appears to have a very substantial number of clients who are interested in buying or selling, and seems to know instinctively how to use local information to guarantee a mutually advantageous outcome for both parties. We would recommend her to anyone and were extremely happy with the result she achieved for us.
We have recently dealt with Karen Harman for the sale of one of our properties in Sunshine Beach. We have bought two properties through Karen over the past 10+ years and would not consider using anyone else for our real estate needs. Karen knows the Noosa area like no other and offers her clients an exceptional buying and selling experience. Her professionalism, courteous manner and honest advice enabled us to get the price we were looking for in a relatively tough market. Karen kept us up to date on all negotiations and developments and dealt with the buyer’s agent on our behalf. Karen’s knowledge of pricing and value in the Sunshine Beach are is second to none and we would highly recommend her if you are considering listing your property or if you are search of the perfect beach haven.
“Karen Harman is a super star! She is professional, honest and friendly and knows the local market inside out. This puts her in a very strong position when negotiating with buyers as she is able to expertly justify her Vendors price point thereby allowing her to achieve top dollar. She responds to enquiries promptly and thoroughly and communicates all feedback. Her database of loyal past clients is also an invaluable tool! We can’t recommend her highly enough!”
