Since beginning her real estate career in 2002, Katherine has made a big impact on the city’s market in general. Having lived in Hamilton for 25 years, Katherine has an intimate knowledge of Hamilton, but, coupled her experience in the thoroughbred industry (as a jockey), she also possesses a broad appreciation of the Waikato region’s rural landscape and its villages.
She first joined the real estate industry 18 years ago, and during that time she has consistently been among the company’s top – salespeople. She has closed more than $350 million in real estate sales, and has sold upward of 700 homes.
Katherine has an infectious enthusiasm, is great with people, and has a formidable will to ‘get things done’. She has a charismatic knack for getting on well with a wide variety of people, and shows sound judgement of character.
She is certainly astute in assessing buyer intentions, and reads signals well. Katherine is tenacious and is a skilled negotiator, and when it comes to instilling a sense of ‘urgency to buy’ in people, she is the envy of many of her colleagues. Katherine adds value on behalf of her clients by possessing a sharp eye for presentation. She advises clients on the most advantageous features of a property, and she skillfully highlights these in her marketing efforts. This regularly gives her an edge over competition.
The above skills are also put to good use when pointing out the potential of a property in the eyes of prospective purchasers - providing ideas and thought-provoking opportunities that may not be immediately evident.
Property presentation is a critical marketing component, she says. Her ability to communicate opportunities has, unsurprisingly, assisted many clients develop dozens of properties. This has allowed Katherine to learn about, and gain a sound understanding of, multiple uses of land. “Often the best value for a property is found by thinking outside the square – experience is what provides you with this thought process,’ she says.
“My aim is to make the experience of selling your home as enjoyable as the outcome,” Katherine says.
We used Katherine Foster of Eves Real Estate Hamilton to sell our home of 47 years ,on the recommendation of a family member who had previously used Katherine in the buying of their house and spoke highly of her.
Using an innovative and comprehensive marketing campaign Katherine had a Cash Unconditional sale at our top price with 2 and1/2 weeks
She then totally supported us through the buying process arranging viewings of other agents listings,arranging builders reports etc and using her experience and expertise in assessing the many properties on the market,any pitfalls there may be and their appropriateness for our needs
Katherine has turned a potential stressful experience for a couple of oldies into a stressless,even enjoyable experience through her friendly nature and professionalism.

Being a real estate agent from Auckland I had very high expectation. Sean helped me furnish the property and mowing of the lawns as the property was vacant. I was recommended Sean and would recommend him to vendors wanting results.

Katherine and Sean held our hands through the buying process. We were both nervous but they provided us with great advice and made it easy. We viewed a number of properties and ended up buying a home under our budget. We love our home!

We engaged Katherine & Sean to help sell our rental property and what was the best way to approach the market, as it is or to renovate. Their honest knowledgeable advice saw that we achieved a fantastic result which was better than expected and they helped facilitate the tradesmen for us. What an agent!
