Jacqui Kalka

What a massive result today! Way beyond what we thought. I am completely aware this terrific result was achieved by you putting in all the background work beforehand. Thank you for generating the interest, getting the bidders, attending to all the legal things, doing all the preparation work and getting all “the ducks in a row.” It has been a real pleasure to work with such a professional individual. Thank you for all your hard work.

We sold our unit through Jacqui Kalka and her service was beyond outstanding. My husband and I had never sold a property before and Jacqui patiently explained every part of the process for us, took time to offer advice, and was available 24/7 for any queries (no matter the size) we had. She did all of this with a smile :-) After each open home she would contact us immediately with details and even offered us extra open homes to match the times of our neighbours when they put their unit ( directly next door) for sale also. We felt this was above and beyond what we expected her to do! On auction day Jacqui and Ian were so professional and confident and ensured we achieved a price that we were delighted with. After dealing with Jacqui I can honestly say we would never consider using another real estate company - as we know who the best is! Even after our sale Jacqui has continued to be an outstanding example of what a real estate agent should be like! We moved to Waiuku, and with this Jacqui put us in touch directly with a representative for this area - we are so grateful for this!

I wish to comment on the recent sale of my sister's property. As executor of her estate I had the task of not only cleaning out the property but also preparing the property for sale. After a major refurbishing of the property I approached four local real estate companies with the view to having them appraise the property. The outstanding candidate by a country mile was Jacqui. Jacqui commented at our first meeting that she saw the property at a level which I felt was higher than I anticipated. I was truly skeptical and was not anticipating a sale in that region, however I agreed to differ with her and of course now must eat humble pie! The initial approach and their presentation folder, which followed a few days later, was what made the difference and set them apart from all the others. While not living in the area myself I had to rely on Jacqui totally to market the property and attend all the open homes which she did extremely professionally. After each open home she would email me with a progress report including numbers attending and potential buyers who she would follow up with. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome. Come auction day she had 5 registered bidders and around 45 others attending which created an exciting environment for the auction. With Ian as auctioneer (another true professional) the whole process was done and dusted within 30 minutes and Jacqui achieving a massive result. I was blown away truly. Right up to and including settlement, Jacqui maintained contact with me, first running the pre-settlement inspection and then advising me that settlement had taken place and she was handing over the keys.

Jacqui Kalka recently sold my house. She was very professional and friendly and gave a realistic price of what the house would sell for and it sold at a price in the middle of the price range given. She kept me informed throughout the whole process, and always turned up on time. I moved to Australia before the house sale was finalized and Jacqui took care of the house in my absence. I would recommend using Jacqui as she makes the whole selling process so easy.

Jacqui is the most wonderful person to deal with and made the whole experience of purchasing this property really enjoyable, even though it had 'tricky' moments. There is no doubt that in this case her negotiation skills and patience in dealing with clients made the sale possible. The process was quite daunting for us, but dealing through Jacqui and the strong sense of support she gave us made us feel that we could trust her experience completely which gave us confidence. Also that she would not mind if we contacted her any time for advice even late into the evening, (which I did frequently) made it so much less stressful for us. Her guidance was invaluable. Not only that, but the 'after sale' help Jacqui provided and the effort she has put in to make sure the property was in good order for us to take over has been very much appreciated. We are delighted with the outcome and will not hesitate to go through Jacqui again in the future. Thank you so much for providing this service to the public.

Jacqui Kalka and Tyla Gardiner recently sold my mothers’ house in Blockhouse Bay. My mother left the decision to my 2 sisters and I to choose an agent and we definitely made the right choice by choosing them. They worked extremely hard with marketing the house and we had a large contingent of buyers there come Auction Day. They made the process of selling very easy for us by having an excellent marketing plan, keeping us well informed with reports on every open home and how many interested buyers there were, keeping a close eye on the property while it was vacant and achieving a sale price well above what we were expecting. They definitely went the extra mile and we would highly recommend them to everyone wanting to sell their property. Thank you Jacqui and Tyla for all the hard work you put into selling my Mums house. You are amazing. We wish you all the best for the future and will definitely be recommending you to anyone we know that wants to sell.

Win and I would like to thank you for guiding us through the whole process of selling our house. We have very much appreciated the clear, calm and encouraging approach which you have displayed throughout. From your first visits, when you gave us what turned out to be a very accurate valuation of our home, through to the discussions about how to sell; the marketing, and finally the selling. We have been kept very well informed by you. When we initially thought about selling up, we were not looking forward to the stress of it all. So, once again thank you Jacqui and Tyla for making it happen so smoothly. Our Grateful Thanks.

Jacqui and Tyla have been consistently professional, helpful and sensitive to my needs. Jacqui's market knowledge, experience, and clear and honest communication make her a stand out. I feel qualified to make this statement, having worked with C level and senior leadership teams in corporate companies overseas, for many years, and I have bought and sold properties overseas, in highly competitive markets. Jacqui's determination to make it as easy as possible for myself and buyers made the whole process that much easier, which is why she consistently gets excellent results. Jacqui and Tyla make an excellent team.

This is to certify that Jacqui Kalka did an amazing job of selling my house in Auckland. Jacqui went out of her way to ensure that I was kept informed every step of the way and was always polite and professional in all my dealings with her. Right from our very first meeting, Jacqui managed to get a very professional portfolio together at a moment’s notice and was able to provide any additional information as and when required. She had all the latest technology to keep you updated and also kept a log of every client she showed through the premises and was able to provide a detailed report on her iPad. Jacqui was always very pleasant to work with and I was extremely pleased with the result she managed to achieve. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending her services as a real estate agent.

I just wanted to take a moment to let you know that I recently had the pleasure of listing my property with Jacqui Kalka. I had met with two real estate agents prior to meeting with Jacqui, and it was her knowledgeable, professional warm manner which gave me to confidence to choose her over all the others. I have to express how happy I am that I did, Jacqui is an excellent communicator and kept me informed at all stages of the process, nothing was ever too much trouble and she was always available for a phone call after hours. She impressed me constantly going beyond the call of duty for me, and I think that is clearly evident in the results she achieved for me. I am more than happy with the price I received for my property, it's because of her professionalism and care that I was able to purchase my dream property. I wish her every success and happiness & will always be grateful!! Thanks again!!!

I have been involved with several property sales, this is the first time I have engaged Jacqui and the auction process. I can tell you Jacqui is light years ahead of the more established real estate companies. Jacqui and Tyla team have exceeded all my expectation and are the most professional real estate agents I have ever met. I had a lot going on with both my and my mothers health problems but I had the confidence in Jacqui to weave her magic, the process was seamless. Even if the property didn't sell I would be giving you the same feedback. I now have changed my mind, real estate agents are now ranked above car salespeople.

Deciding to sell our property was a daunting prospect when we had moved to Perth, WA and were no longer close at hand. After getting a few agents from different agencies to go through the property and receiving their feedback we very quickly decided to list our property with Jacqui. Not only did her estimate of market value seem realistic, but Jacqui was the only agent to ring us in Australia to discuss options with us. Jacqui kept us informed every step of the way via email, text and the occasional phone call. No query was ignored and she was friendly, approachable and very professional throughout the process. When the property went to auction Jacqui rung us and kept us on the phone so we could hear first hand what was to become a very exciting auction. We were delighted with the price the property fetched and feel it is a testament to Jacqui's hard work. We would not hesitate to recommend Jacqui to anyone considering selling their home. Thank you for all your hard work and the result you achieved Jacqui!

We had met Jacqui through an open home in a neighbouring street prior to selling our house, and we were instantly drawn to her professionalism and when it came to the auction we were surprised at the turn out of active bidders and the top price Jacqui got for the property. We used Jacqui as the bench mark when interviewing other agents and it was very clear that no other agents came close to her professionalism and we had no hesitation in signing up with her for an exclusive listing. Jacqui talked us through a comprehensive plan for selling our home, the factors she felt were important and took our questions and discussion seriously. Throughout the process Jacqui kept us informed and at no time did we feel that she was unrealistic and kept us grounded with honest feedback and a professional opinion which was backed up by her wealth of experience in the industry and her knowledge of the clientèle in the area. On the days leading up to the auction Jacqui kept us up to date daily with feedback from registered bidders as she was in touch with the buyers regularly ensuring the interest and hype in the auction remained high. The price Jacqui got for us at auction far exceeded our expectations and has meant that we are now able to move to our desired location which we thought would be a few more years of hard work away. We have remained in contact with Jacqui and would thoroughly recommend her if you want to achieve top dollar for your property.

My property sold at auction with Jacqui Kalka. This sale was conducted very professionally, but very friendly. I was kept informed all the way, but not only was I kept informed my daughter also received the info. We had open homes on Sat and Sun, then an offer ,so the auction was brought forward, and sold. I am delighted with the way this was handled, Not to mention the results, the price is amazing. I can now pay some of my daughters mortgage off, in England. So an amazing result all round. Look after her she will be searched out by other companies. Thankyou for a great result, professionally handled, and a quick sale.

We engaged Jacqui Kalka as our sole real estate agent for the sale of our villa. Initially, we recognised Jacqui from her presence and extensive experience in the local real estate market. We were immediately impressed by Jacqui's tailored but flexible marketing programme. We were always in control of viewing times and we were fully aware of all the parties that had visited our property. As vendors, we were always keen on getting feedback from buyers. Jacqui provided immediate text updates after viewings and held weekly discussions on progress. Jacqui is very organised which made the process easier for us. We listed with Jacqui as we felt she was honest and had high integrity. We were proved correct! Our property was sold by auction where Jacqui and the auctioneer (Ian Keightley) performed a fantastic job. There were a total of five bidders on auction day which helped us achieve an amazing result. Jacqui and Ian both provided helpful advice on the auction process to assist us with our decision making. We would highly recommend the services of Jacqui Kalka for her professionalism and dedication to achieving the best result for her clients.

We have found Jacqui to be a really pleasant, friendly lady who has helped us immensely. She is open and honest in her communications and seems to have a natural ability to put people at ease in this very stressful time. I have found Jacqui not to be pushy in any way but has been able to get her point across re price etc without making things feel awkward in any way. I would highly recommend Jacqui as a real estate agent to sell your house and we will be recommending her to anyone we know who wants to sell.

Jacqui Kalka is, in my experience, one rare and exceptional real estate agent. Over the course of the recent sales campaign for our rental property, she helped turn what could've been a tortuous and unsuccessful process into an outcome that we, ultimately, were happy with. At times when things looked like they might go awry, Jacqui kept her cool and remained positive. She communicated clearly and guided us in a way that was always supportive and optimistic. In short, she worked tirelessly and incredibly efficiently for her vendor. For that we are extremely thankful. When we come to sell any future property, Jacqui Kalka will be the first and only agent we call. I can't pay her any greater compliment than that.

“My 82 year old Mum made the difficult decision to sell her home and move into a retirement village. Although it was Mum’s decision to move and even though she felt that the time was right, she was feeling very anxious and sad about leaving her home of 15 years. When we commenced the search for an agent it became more difficult than anticipated. We interviewed a few other agents that just weren’t the right fit for Mum and I. We were referred to Jacqui and Tyla by a prominent solicitor in the area. We immediately felt that they had the care and sensitivity we needed along with the warmth, energy and personality to make us feel at ease. Jacqui and Tyla go the extra mile and combined with their passion and personality, they stand out above the rest. “

“Having recently sold our home through New Zealand Sotheby’s International Realty, we can honestly say, it has been a pleasure having Jacqui Kalka and Tyla Gardiner as our real estate agents. They are personable whilst maintaining a high professional standard and they are extremely knowledgeable about the real estate industry. We found them to be open, honest and discreet, which is refreshing in this business. They were very helpful in their dealings with us and prospective buyers, but also made the experience stressless and relatively easy. Always readily within contact to answer the big and the small questions. Nothing was too much bother for them. We felt they went out of their way to help us in every aspect of the process and we have now made new friends.”
