What our people say about us
Dylan invested time in getting to know us, to understand our story, and create a solution that matched the reality of the market, and our objective. The consistency and perseverance demonstrated his commitment to his clients, and the depth of understanding of what mattered to us. Because Dylan did his ground work, when the time came for a potential sale he was able to move quickly, and just get things done. Vendors who are looking for true quality of service, commitment, transparency and understanding, then this is a one stop shop.
Justin
Dylan was lovely and was a complete delight to deal with. It was a weekend and he made the viewing happen. From start to finish, we had a stress-free experience buying a house with Kat and Dylan. I highly recommend them for your next house to buy! (Or sell!)
Jaclyn
Buying a home is quite a daunting experience but Dylan was a delight to deal with as a first home buyer. Very smooth process as far as KC&CO are concerned. Always very good clear communication whether it be in person or via text/email.
Amber
Selling or buying Kat is your person! Honest, realistic, high level of integrity, easy to talk to, makes you feel heard, allays fears, provides relevant information, no unnecessary sugar coating, very professional, very realistic competitive fee structure, friendly and personable, highly recommended.
Susan
From our initial interaction Dylan was fantastic. After missing out on one property, he kept us in mind for the next and promptly got us a viewing. Throughout the process he was friendly, quick to respond and supportive. He did everything in his power to help the process along. Despite a few logistical bumps, we managed to settle in to our new home with the help of Dylan and his team.
Layna and Tyler
We found Dylan very helpful and professional throughout our buying process. He kept us well informed with each step and is a friendly, down to earth person. Thanks Dylan and Kat Campbell!
Narelle & Zhan
Kat has been awesome with her communication and keeping us up to speed as purchasers, we would of had at least three times the amount of communication with Kat than we did with our own agent selling our house! She made the whole engagement in the sale & purchase very transparent and easy to understand and was responsive to questions when they occurred.
Paul
Kat and Dylan were brilliant with our house sale, having never sold before we wanted someone who would help us through the process and communicate clearly to ensure it went smoothly. They went above and beyond our expectations and worked hard to get our house sold in a difficult market - and it worked! Kat and Dylan did a great job keeping us updated each step of the way and being honest and transparent in regards to every recommendation they made, which we really appreciated.
Marissa and Doug
We met Helen while on the hunt for our new home. As in all walks of life you come across those and these. Helen undoubtedly belongs to these who truly make a difference. Helen not only deeply cares for her clients but for the prospective buyers just as well. This shows in her unique style of communication, which is always prompt and comprehensive, her experienced and effective manner and her honesty. A rare find - a species almost extinct in the Real Estate environment!
Joe & Elke
Thank you Kat and Dylan and the team. You did an amazing job with selling my property in a challenging market. Kat you went above and beyond the call of duty with the handover process. Thank you so much.
Karen
We have had the pleasure of working with Kat since 2019. From buying our first home off her, to selling that house in 2022 with her and now selling our latest house at the start of the month. We have always found Kat’s approach with us is very easy to understand, her communication and professionalism was always something we liked as a vendor and a buyer over the years. We definitely recommend Kat and KC&CO to anyone selling or buying.
Brock and Olivia
Kat was exceptional during the sale of our home, providing excellent service with a professional, and down to earth approach, she operates with a high level of integrity and great communication throughout the process which relieved a lot of the stress often associated with selling! We were extremely happy with the outcome. I can't rate Kat highly enough and wouldn't hesitate to use her again in the future.
Leah
Kat and her team did a great job selling my house in a pretty difficult market. They were extremely organised and have great systems in place to make everything run smoothly. I would highly recommend KC&CO.
Belinda
Kat was very good with keeping us informed about the process and the differing stages that we were at as things progressed. Gave us all the information that was needed and very timely.
June
We felt totally at ease with Kat upon our first meeting. Our confidence in her and the team at KC&CO increased daily, what could have been a very stressful experience, ended being an enjoyable fun time. Kat gave us good advice as to what was needed & kept us posted with all developments during the whole process. We highly recommend Kat and her team for any real estate needs.
Rosemary
Sold my house, Dylan was very good with all the extra bits that come along with selling, when owners live elsewhere. Checking new carpet was good, and again once the problem was remedied. Getting the garage door sorted when it was needed, turning the mains water on and off for insurance purposes as house was empty and most important, selling the house. At all times Dylan was easy to deal with and attentive when required.
Neil
We were working with Kat and Dylan. Both were a pleasure to deal with and very professional. We would have no problems recommending to anyone selling. We were selling in a difficult market, yet they still managed to encourage people through our place, and had it sold within 3 months.
Chris and Lauren
The market had slowed down but KC&CO. made selling our rental a breeze. They had a great knowledge of the current market, managed our expectations, amazing communication, great negotiating skills and results. We had weekly updates on who had gone through the property, the feedback and next steps. I dealt with Kat & Dylan, what a team! Can't recommend them highly enough! As a side note, I had dealt with a larger firm of real estate agents when I bought the property, the experience was not great. KC&CO. definitely dot all the i's and cross all the t's meaning there were no surprises on completion day.
Helen
Dylan is a true professional. Honest, diligent and a very kind person. He always responded to our questions immediately. The entire buying process was very easy. We highly recommend Kat and Dylan Campbell and their team to anyone, for selling or buying. 5 Star Service.
Elli and Jens
Kat & Dylan are experienced professional salespeople. They have great local knowledge and work hard to achieve the sale you want. Their communication is constant, and they help to make selling your home a less stressful experience.
Pat
I engaged KC&CO. to sell my property in April 2023. Even though the property market was depressed I felt reassured that I had chosen the right company to market the property. Katarina Campbell has a wealth of experience in the real estate industry which she uses to assess what are the best options for the vendor. My property sold in no time at all with thanks to Katarina and would recommend anyone else thinking of selling to use KC&CO.
Graham
Kat and team were so great and I was so appreciative of the help and support I received when selling my Nelson house from Western Australia! The experience was made easy and smooth dispite the distance. I’d highly recommend Kat when selling or buying property. She is honest and reliable. I’ve brought most of my houses through her in the last few years living in Nelson. She is a star and her team are awesome.
Debbie
Kat and her team go above and beyond to sell your home. Great clear communication with no surprises. We were very happy with the results they got for us and made a stressful time so much easier. Full of knowledge and an agent you can trust to be honest and do their best for you.
Paula
Kat and her team were fantastic from the get-go. Maintained excellent communication with me through the whole process. Created a successful marketing campaign and went above and beyond to help me get my property ready for settlement, as I was no longer living locally. I would highly recommend Kat and her team, as they are professional, efficient and clearly very experienced. Kat has a very approachable and down to earth manner, that I really appreciated.
Keryn
Kat was so good to deal with, we felt relaxed with her right from the start, she worked around the kids and pets with no problem. Excellent communication, always kept us up to date on everything and there to answer questions, we never felt like we were being inconvenient to contact her about anything. We felt she was very honest in her opinions when we asked for advice and most of all we never felt pressured to accept an offer, she was so friendly, understanding and open about everything. The weekly email updates were excellent and we loved the service, being buyers ourselves we found the houses with a plan and 3d walkthrough so much better to make decisions about a house prior to seeing it. For us selling our house it meant the people coming though were very genuinely interested as they had a lot of info on the house already. I wouldn't hesitate to use Kat and her teams services again and would recommend her 10 fold over anyone else.
Linda and Carl
An all round incredible real estate agent. I have now sold two properties with Kat and both times I have really appreciated her knowledge and support throughout the process. Kat took the time to really understand what I needed as a seller and I trusted her to present my home in a way that would achieve a timely and successful result. Kat is incredibly down to earth, approachable and takes a lot of the stress out of selling a property.
Nadia
Kat was an incredible agent to work with. Never selling before she was able to guide us through the whole progress step by step clearly explaining everything. Kats knowledge, professionalism, communication and partnership with us enabled the process to be stress free and easy. Service was excellent and we would highly recommend her to anyone to buy or sell their home. Thank you Kat!
Rachel
I picked Kat to sell my home as I appreciated her intelligence and liked her direct manner. My home sold quickly and the whole process was very straightforward. I would recommend the team to others.
Alannah
Kat Campbell and her team were amazing to work with. They work very hard to provide you with the best care and results. Kat made the entire process of buying and selling stress free. She is also great at explaining and making sure you understand the contracts etc. I highly recommend Kat Campbell & Co. Real Estate.
Chris and Molly
I would recommend Kat and her team to anyone wanting to sell or buy. They did a great job selling my house in the first few weeks of listing Really liked the great communication and integrity that shone through.
Michelle
Kat - what can I say! You’re an absolute miracle worker! You and your whole company! What I thought was impossible… was certainly made possible. I love how straight up you are, and there’s no sugar coating anything.. you’re an absolute legend. ❤️❤️❤️
Jess
Totally blown away with Kat and her teams service from initial consultation through to the confirmation of sale! Kat is a true honest professional and had not only our interests but the buyers interests first and foremost, it just gave us confidence that we knew where everyone stood in the process. We were thrilled with the communication from her team, the weekly updates with viewings and trademe were always on time and very helpful. A really polished performance and great experience. We would highly recommend Kat to anyone thinking of selling.
Nick
Helen Ruston has sold three properties for my family in the last two years. Helen has been thorough in her research, honest and up front with all aspects of the sales process, patient and informative as the process progressed. I would recommend Helen to anyone selling, her ability to help elderly that haven’t sold before through the process is kind and supportive. Helen has many years of experience at what she does, and on three occasions I have witnessed her professional kind attitude.
Jeanette
We are very happy with the services that Kat and her team provided for us. Kat is very personable, has a lot of knowledge of the local market and she is a great communicator. What could have been a very stressful time in our lives, proved to be very easy. Kat's attentiveness left us at ease and very confident that we made the right choice asking her to help us sell our home.
Jeremy and Julie
Kat's professionalism was first class. After reading her bio and then meeting for a property appraisal, without a word of doubt she was the agent for us. We were impressed with her knowledge of house prices in the area and particularly in relation to the one we were selling. Her on the spot knowledge was backed up by the data presented in her market appraisal of our house. Her systems and processes are impeccable. To this end everything is delivered when stated and backed up by her staff who have a role in the process. Kat was realistic in price expectations and was on the mark for us to get a price we were happy with. She was accessible, an excellent communicator and lovely to deal with. We highly recommend her to anyone wanting an expert agent. Working with a boutique office was perfect for us as they could offer a more streamlined and personal experience for our house than larger competitors. Everything was done with style.
Tina and John
Professional, honest and personal. Good communication throughout the whole sale process. Great load off my mind to know the sale was in good and trusting hands.
Tom
Kat was incredibly responsive and made the purchase of our new property so easy. After searching and placing offers for over a year - Kat made purchasing this property a reality. She works as much for the vendors as she does the buyers - would hands down go back to Kat if we ever need an agent in the future. Thank you Kat!
Craig
Our listing was super easy thanks to Kat, in 2 days we were sold, signed and moved out in 7! Thank you so much for your hard work and coaching along the way, I wouldn’t go anywhere else next time! Amazing agent!
Alicia
We were already aware of Kat’s work ethic and commitment from earlier dealings with her, so we chose her to sell our house with complete confidence in her abilities. Kat provided good and honest advice from the start when we were getting our house ready for market and carried this on throughout the entire process. Her excellent negotiation skills were put to good use when she brought us multiple offers well above the asking price and we were delighted with the resulting sale. We would not hesitate to recommend Kat and would use her services again in a heartbeat.
Alex and Julian
Thank you Susa for restoring our faith in the Real Estate profession. Your total professionalism and attention to detail meant that our property was not only sold promptly but also at the price we hoped for. Thank you for all your efforts on our behalf.
John
Kat is a pleasure to deal with and has a well-organised team supporting her. Kat knows the Stoke property market better than anyone. Our house sale was nice and quick. Kat gave us an accurate appraisal and priced the property well.
Brylee and Nathan
Thank you Kat for a positive selling experience. Kat took on board our wishes for a quick sale and settlement and we trusted her advice to market our property accordingly. We were very pleased with a fantastic outcome which exceeded our expectations regarding timeframe, price and settlement period. We would not hesitate to work with Kat and her team again in the future. Thanks again for all your help!
Ben and Tessa
With the way the market is and the options for agents available, it could be easy to expect a substandard service.... not so in this case, not even close, Kat was there when she said she would, did what she said and her insights, suggestions and personable manner had us both relaxed in the knowledge that "this girl is the one"!! Kat's signage oozes professionalism, her reputation is second to none and that continues through to the action, she communicates beautifully and is impeccably presented, all of which come together for a complete service that I attribute to the very, very good price we accepted for our home. Incredible experience and would definitely recommend.
Wayne and Hayley
We always knew we were going to use Helen to sell our home since the day we brought our section from her 5 years ago. Her passion, honesty and integrity is evident in everything she did. The sale was like no other. We as vendors and the purchasing family were so pleased with the experience, we have been able to stay in touch long past the sale because the transaction was done perfectly for everyone. The only stressful thing was how fast it sold, went unconditional and possession took place - phew!!. I would recommend no other agent whether you are selling or buying.
Miriam and Aaron
Kat and her team handled the sale of our property with professionalism from start to finish. The whole process was incredibly easy. Kat has great knowledge of the current market and how best to market your property. We appreciated how all of Kat's team worked in great unison to get things done and nothing was a problem. We would recommend Kat Campbell & Co to anyone selling or purchasing a home.
Megan and Troy
After living at our property for 33 years we needed to move to a house on one level so that we did not have stairs to climb. The thought of what do we do and where do we start seemed a huge task to us, however we chose Kat Campbell to sell our loving home and she was amazing. Kat was so helpful with her many years of experience in Real Estate and her knowledge of the area we do not quite know how we would have done it without her help. Kat gave us such good advice on the best way to market our property and was so patient with our endless questions and always available if we needed help in any way at all. Kat was very professional, friendly and nothing was ever too much trouble for her so we would highly recommend her to anyone that was wanting to buy or sell a property as she does make it happen and always with a smile.
Max and Jill
I can only say great things about Susa and her team, everything went smoothly and I was kept up to date on a regular basis. I can thoroughly recommend her. Many thanks.
Julie
Kat was personally recommended to us, and I can see why. From start to finish we were guided in every aspect of the sale of our home, right down to detailed advice on presenting our home for photographs. We had multiple offers before our first open home so the results were excellent, but we also really appreciated the personal touch from Kat and her team. We were pleasantly surprised by the cost difference between Kat Campbell & Co. and other real estate agents as well.
Hannah and George
We have just had the privilege of working with Kat Campbell for the second time. Kat is exceptionally good at what she does, her genuine personality, honesty, integrity and her passion make selling with her stress free. Kat is proactive and cares about her clients and also her buyers. We will absolutely be using Kat Campbell & Co. again in the future.
Aleisha and Clint
Helen Ruston was recommended to me by a dear friend who was also a friend and previous client of Helen's. When we met, I had no hesitation in taking her on board. She was respectful and listened carefully to my needs for the sale process. Helen had wasted no time and arrived equipped with all the information needed to get us up and running. Helen produced such an excellent and efficient result for me, all the time being considerate, supportive and with integrity.
Jenny
We would like to say a huge thank you to Helen Ruston from KC & Co. Helen you are extremely patient, professional and your "nothing is a problem" attitude is amazing, we would recommend you to everyone. Thank you again for selling our beautiful home xx
Andrew and Angela
After 9 years in our little house on the hill, we want to thank our dear friend Helen Ruston for her amazing efforts. The marketing photos that were produced were simply stunning and we knew people would love the house. Helen kept her focus, drive and right throughout, her sense of humour. Thank you so much Helen – you are a superstar and we absolutely recommend you to everyone for their real estate needs.
Stu and Nicky
We were very nervous buying our first home, and Kat helped to make this journey seamless and exciting. Kat was not only doing what her client asked of her but made sure we were well informed and understood everything that we needed to as first home buyers. Thank you very much. Look forward to well into the future dealings.
Stephanie and Adrian
I suspect many buyers don’t feel impelled to congratulate or celebrate the vendors agent. Certainly I have never felt the desire to before. But as a buyer I was so impressed with the experience of dealing with Susa that it would be remiss of me not to express that. Susa was incredibly easy to deal with because of the clear values she lives and breathes - honesty, integrity, care and responsibility. It was clear she had the very best interests of her vendor at heart, as she should. But at no stage did we feel less than respected or valued. She has great instincts, is a straight talker (rare in an agent) but also has a warmth that enables you to trust her very quickly. It was the first buying experience that didn’t feel stressful or inauthentic. As long as we remain in Nelson, Susa will be my first port of call for all things real estate and the only name I use if recommending to friends.
Halcione
A huge thank you Kat for your true professionalism in selling my parents house and helping them find their next home. It was a very stressful process for them to get to the decision to sell and go through the process, you were so so kind in your handling of the sale and taking the time to explain and understand their needs. You went above and beyond and the changes that have happened will improve their lifestyle immensely. The family can’t thank you enough.
Claire
We want to thank you very much for the professional and friendly way you handled the purchase of our new home and the sale of our previous house. You stayed calm and patient and kept us informed all the time. If we had questions you responded promptly. It was also very much appreciated that you did not forget us after the purchase and sale and stayed in touch. We have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone who needs a real estate agent.
Jack and Anja
I have very much appreciated your honest and professional style of marketing my house and would be very happy to recommend your services to anyone thinking of selling their house.
Carol
I have short-term memory loss, however Kat supported me through the complicated process of my house sale with efficiency and tact.
Ann
Kat is the most professional, organised and competent real estate salesperson I have had the pleasure of working with. She has a fabulous personality and a calm demeanour and she keeps you fully informed throughout the process of selling and buying! Her fees are reasonable and value for money. The presentation of our home on the website, facebook and her brochures was top notch. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kat to anyone looking for the best real estate salesperson/company in the Nelson/Tasman area!
Amanda and Ivan
I couldn't recommend KC & CO. high enough. After listing our rental right before Covid lockdown and having no luck, we changed and relisted our property straight away with KC & CO. It was stress free for both us and our tenants and it was sold within 7 days! As you can imagine, we were very happy with the outcome and how easy it was for us! Thanks for making the whole process smooth and easy!
Krissy and Tom
Selling a home that we loved was very difficult, being overseas made it more difficult but Kat and her team communicated well to us. They delivered what we asked for and we are very happy our home went to the right people. We will be forever grateful.
Claire and Al
I found Kat to be friendly, understanding, very efficient and thorough. I was feeling anxious with all the hoops one needs to jump through to sell and buy a house but Kat really helped with all of it and put my mind at ease by giving great advice on lawyers, mortgage brokers, registered valuations etc. Kat even gave us some excellent advice on purchasing our new home, which got us the house!! I am so pleased we chose to go with Kat and would highly recommend her to sell with, I know I will definitely work with her for any future sales.
James
I never thought I’d say selling a property was a breeze, BUT that’s exactly what it was selling with Kat. Kat and her team are very professional and went above and beyond to guide us through our sale. I couldn’t recommend Kat & CO. more highly. Plus she got my sense of humour which is a bonus.
Naomi and Scott
Kat made the experience of selling our house easy. We hadn’t sold a house for a long time and her informative, transparent professionalism set our minds at ease straight away. Kat has a friendly, yet professional way of dealing with people and we felt we were in good hands the whole way through. We basically went away for a week and the following Wednesday the offers were on the table. Well done to Kat and her competent team, we really appreciate all you did for us and we would recommend you to anyone buying or selling property in a heartbeat!
Paulette and Garry
We have dealt with Helen a number of times through buying sections so there was no hesitation in going back to her to sell our home. Helen is caring and just wants the best outcome for you and the buyer but she also has the drive to get the job done. We will definitely be back to see her again in the future and recommend her for selling your home.
Stacey and Shannon
Kat did an incredible job selling our house. Her professionalism, experience, communication and partnership with us throughout the whole process was outstanding. We would have no hesitation recommending her to help you buy or sell your home. Thanks Kat!
Andrew and Rachel
Kat once again came up trumps in selling my house. It is the second one she has sold for me. Kat is a true pro in this field, Always thinks of the clients, has answers to all questions and has a great sense of humour to get you through. Thank you Kat and team for your work and good wishes in your business.
Jennifer
Helen was recommended to us to sell our parents home, when we met Helen she was empathetic and compassionate to our situation. After one week on the market, we were presented with 7 offers! We couldn’t of been happier with the outcome, but more importantly the respect and caring nature Helen showed us throughout the whole process. If we are ever in the market to sell, Helen will be the first and only person we call.
Mark
There’s no better testimonial than a repeat customer! We were pleased to work with Helen Ruston this year to sell a home she originally sold us eight years ago. We couldn’t recommend Helen highly enough – she is always available to take your call or answer your email. We are grateful to know a skilled real estate expert who is also kind and generous.
Don and Angela
Kat is a true professional. Honest, diligent and diplomatic. Kat’s hard work got my house sold in one week and for a great price. I highly recommend her to anyone that is considering using Kat Campbell & Co to buy or sell. 5 Star Service.
