Testimonials -

I first met Julene when I was looking for an investment property.  She was very helpful to me but worked very hard for the vendor as I ended up buying the property paying top dollar.  She referred me to her colleague who found me an excellent tenant for the property.

I was overseas when the hot water cylinder leaked, my tenant got hold of Julene who help me out to organize a plumber to fix the leak and even got hold of previous owner to find out how to turn the water off to minimize damage.  That really is over and above what is expected of an agent and I am thankful for her help.

As my circumstance changed and I decided to sell the property, no question that Julene would be the listing agent and she didn’t disappoint in getting me the best price for the house which I am very happy about.

She is very professional, always upfront and replies to your call promptly.  I strongly recommend her to anyone who is selling his/her property.

We recently engaged Julene Foster to sell our house. The reason we chose her was very straightforward. Having known her for many, many years and having worked with her before and seen just how conscientiously she applies herself to achieve success, we are quite certain that no real estate agent works harder than her to obtain a satisfactory sale. This, combined with her extensive experience and knowledge of the industry, makes choosing her the correct decision.It’s as simple as that.

( Flat-out-Foster would be an appropriate nickname for her !!)

I would thoroughly recommend Julene to help in selling any residential property.  I had a challenging property which Julene successfully marketed and then sold at Auction. Julene committed to the task of selling my property with drive and enthusiasm. Throughout the marketing campaign and sales process, I received weekly reports, information on open homes and general interest from potential buyers.  I was really impressed with the manner in which I was fully informed throughout the whole process. I was so appreciative of her guidance, honesty and high level of professionalism.  She has a ‘never give up attitude’ and she succeeded.

Thanks again for all your hard work!

We have known Julene personally for a long time and periodically have engaged her when either buying or selling property. It is her ability to separate the personal side of our relationship when acting as our professional agent, a requirement we regard paramount in any property dealings we are involved in. Julene listens to what we want and it is her depth of knowledge of the local area in finding suitable properties that fit those parameters, without wasting any ones time. Thanks for your efforts in our recent purchase Julene, it's been enjoyable as usual. We say each home is meant to be our last shift, but somehow we know we will be contacting you again in the future.

I recently sold my Mount Maunganui property while residing overseas. Julene was my agent and I am absolutely grateful for her above and beyond the call of duty efforts to ensure the property was well prepared for the market. She was extremely well organised and reported back to me any developments promptly.  I was in awe of her energy and determination. Her knowledge of the market and many years of experience were invaluable. Her attention to detail was considerable and the staging, marketing and photos were a pleasure to see online. I am grateful for her efforts, where she left no stone unturned. With gratitude

I have worked with Julene on the purchase of a property and later on the sale of 4 properties. She is very committed and energetic, being totally focused on the job at hand. Also, she goes beyond what would normally be expected of a Sales Agent helping with resolving or addressing any issues. Most importantly I believe I can rely on what Julene says, acknowledging of course she will be driven to complete a Sale. I can strongly recommend Julene.

My husband and I had been looking for a home for some time and things really ramped up once we found Julene. Papamoa is ultimately where we wanted to live and while we knew that Julene was busy with other clients we always felt that she was fully focussed on us, finding homes to view that met our specs. It was clear to us that Julene has many years of experience and her knowledge of the market especially in the Mount and Papamoa was obvious. On auction day she was right there with us guiding us through the process and celebrating our success when the hammer fell. We feel fortunate to have had Julene working with us. We found her to be knowledgeable about the properties she presented to us, following up promptly on questions we had, while being professional and friendly and we wish her well.

A huge thanks to Julene for the work she did in selling my property. When working with Julene it is obvious that for her Real Estate is not just a job but a passion - as a result she gives 110% in all her efforts to make the process as streamlined and successful for you as she can.

Communication and feedback is prompt and detailed and you are well informed at all times which is very reassuring in what can be a stressful time.

Her drive and enthusiasm coupled with her many years of experience and the transparent way she guides you through the sales process makes her an agent that I unreservedly recommend.                                                                                                                        Bev Cochrane

15 April 2017- I have known Julene for the past 15+ years, both as a friend to the family and in her professional capacity. She is open and honest, and has always been trustworthy and reliable, willing to go the extra mile. She acted professionally & with integrity in my dealings with her over the sale of a property, and I would recommend her as a person with high standards and clear communication.

Yours sincerely – Robyn Walters
