We have purchased and sold property from Karen over the last five years. Karen is a true professional who we felt we could trust from the moment we met her. Karen’s knowledge of Lorne and its surroundings is invaluable. We cannot thank Karen enough.
Karen helped my brother and I through a really difficult period where we were trying to sell an investment property in a location that required expert knowledge and experience dealing with the prospective buyers in the market. Her dedication, communication skills, and persistence in following up leads and guiding us through the sale of our first property was hugely valued through this period and we can't thank her enough for her support.
I found Karen great to deal with in selling my property. She always came when she said she would. She gave calm considered advice. Not subject to hyperbole. When things got more difficult with deteriorating financial conditions she showed good judgement. She was friendly too.
Having bought property through Karen’s agency over 10 years ago we decided for our recent sale and purchase to use her services again because she demonstrated a high level of professionalism and honesty as well as sound investment advice. Karen is one of those ‘what you see is what you get’ people and although our real estate dealing days are behind us now we want to take this opportunity to both recognise and thank Karen for her work which extends to advice regarding repairs and trades coordination when needed. A very sincere recommendation to speak to Karen when seeking a knowledgeable, experienced and personable agent.
Karen proved to be a first rate estate agent when I came to sell a property in Lorne I had owned for 20 years. If I needed little jobs doing, she knew the right 'tradies'. When I began to wonder if I would ever sell my property in the current climate - when mortgages have become so much harder to secure - she kept reassuring me. And she was right: I sold at a good price, and with an absolute minimum of fuss.
Karen provides outstanding service and professionalism when conducting a property transaction. Her feedback is always prompt, and equally as important honest and transparent at all times. She worked very, very hard in our case to get a more difficult transaction over the line . I fully and confidently recommend Karen to any party wishing to transact in property in her local area.
We met Karen from Great Ocean Road Real Estate when we were looking to purchase a house in Lorne. Karen has a great knowledge of property in the area, and was able to guide us in finding a property we absolutely love that has everything on our checklist. She was responsive and open through the whole negotiation process, keeping us very well informed along the way. We were very happy with her support and advice through the negotiation and settlement processes. Overall Karen has been a wonderful agent to deal with!
Excellent customer service from Karen. As well, she is professional, personable, knows her stuff and is genuine. Highly recommended!
Having dealt with a number of real estate agents over the decades I am confident in commending Karen Stribling to anyone considering buying or selling in the Lorne area. She is absolutely on the ball in every respect, her communication is excellent and she will go over and above to help facilitate, even in the small details. Your dealings with her will be a good experience.
Karen is a true professional and demonstrated this throughout all aspects of our sales process. Above all, Karen's local knowledge and clear, transparent communication, instilled great confidence. Our instructions were to get the best price within a timeframe - which was achieved with her excellent negotiation skills. We knew we had hit the mark with Karen. I highly recommend Karen to anyone selling a property - or indeed I would certainly reach out to her when looking to purchase in the area again. I know Karen will always strive to achieve the best possible outcome for all parties involved. Well Done!
My apartment sold in a week due to Karen's knowledge of her community and contacts. I appreciated Karen's experience and guidance; her commitment to the property and her attention to me was outstanding. It was a very positive experience with a great result.
I found Karen fantastic to work with through the process of purchasing a property in Lorne. She's a friendly, professional agent. Over the 12 months of looking we felt we were getting straight honest advise that came from a solid understanding of the Lorne market. I'd highly recommend Karen and the Great Ocean Rd Real Estate team.
