Karen was very knowledgeable regards the buying process which was wonderful given it had been 13 years since we last purchased and we were engaging in an auction process for the first time. She was always so responsive to our queries and a reassuring voice when we needed one. We found Karen to be very transparent in her interactions with us and always demonstrate genuine care for all stakeholders involved in the property transaction.

Karen was fantastic to deal with throughout our entire experience in purchasing our new home. She always made herself available to answer any questions we had and went above and beyond to help get this deal over the line. Would be more than comfortable recommending Karen to both prospective sellers and buyers.

Karen is a professional agent and pleasant. I know Karen for 10 years. She has always been pleasant to deal with. She wants the best for you. She listens and acts in your best interest. I feel so lucky to know her and have her as my sale agent.

Karen sold our house to enable us to be closer to family going through significant health issues at time of market uncertainty, coupled with a failed prior campaign by local agent & the dynamic of the property itself been a little out of the box comparable to the post war homes it is surrounded by. Of particular notice was Karen's complete understanding of our emotive intentions & the professionalism in having to rescue us from prior listing which right or wrong had us well behind the eight ball from the outset. As if the pressure of our necessity to move wasn't enough, we demanded the right price to which Karen managed whilst needing to repair the house's appeal with a realistic honest approach to us the sellers & the many prospects she engaged over many months. We are now within reach of family, relieved & also empowered by her shared knowledge on what to do post settlement with respects to mail, utilities & even security (change door locks) for our purchase house! Bonus! Absolute champion human & great agent! Starr Family will be forever grateful

After interviewing many agents Karen stood out head and shoulders above the rest. She was engaging and genuine and had by far and away the best plan to list and sell the property. Her advice on staging came from a sense of knowledge and was inexpensive where as other agents seemed to have watched an episode of The Block the night before, giving advice that would have been expensive nor added any value to the sale price. Her marketing campaign was exceptional, open houses a huge success and her ability to filter and negotiate with prospects first class. As a result we surpassed any of the high end estimates given by the other agents. Karen also has a valuable network to draw upon and if you are the kind of person who needs to be reassured during the process shes the agent for you. 10/10

I was so completely impressed with Karen from our very first meeting. Karen has a lot more knowledge then just selling houses. her building knowledge is incredible. Karen is extremely professional and was nothing but an absolute pleasure to deal with. she made the sale of our property very stress free. Can not recommend Karen enough to anyone thinking of selling their property.

We are so impressed with our experience of selling our family home through Place Newmarket under the guidance of Karen McBryde. From the first discussion over the phone we were attracted to her passion for her industry, her warmth and her knowledge. She made the whole experience stress free and got us a fabulous price with a fast turnaround. She stood out to us as a dynamic, results oriented agent and we found her manner refreshing in a time of high stress for us as we navigated selling our family home and relocating across the country. Her familiarity with building codes, period features and quirks of older houses is something that also set her apart, her knowledge a reassurance to both the seller and the buyer. Karen presents herself professionally ensuring that your property is also presented to the market in the most professional manner. We highly recommend Karen to anyone looking to sell, as a five star agent! 🌟

Karen was a pleasure to deal with. She kept an open line of communication, no question went unanswered and were answered quickly. Nothing was a bother. She made the buying process as simple as possible.
