Listing with Katie Gerrets comes with a promise – to work hard for every client to achieve their goal. She’s a firm believer in being proactive, not reactive. And she works seamlessly behind the scenes to ensure every property transaction runs smoothly. Selling Canterbury comes easy for Katie. A lifelong “Cantab”, Katie has lived all over the province. She grew up in the portside community of Lyttelton, before a passion for horses took her family to a lifestyle property at Swannanoa, and later West Melton, where she still lives. She laughs when she says she knows her way around and can comfortably tell you the best places to be! One of those places, she says, is any stunning Canterbury beach where you’ll find her in her spare time riding a horse on a sunny day. With a background in running her own equestrian business training horses and their riders, Katie knows a thing or two about stress and success! She knows a horse must have trust in its rider, and confidence and resilience are key. These are qualities she brings to her real estate career, and she says her “work hard” approach is a no-brainer as far as she’s concerned. In fact, her friends often tell her she works too much, but she laughs them off because she thrives under the pressure. Bubbly and professional, Katie always has her client’s best interests at heart through the whole process, and says communication is a key part of that. She enjoys developing a strong relationship, built on trust, with both vendors and buyers. The ability to listen and understand, be well organised and negotiate are all attributes she brings to the table. Katie says she loves people and steering them through one of life’s ‘big’ experiences, is her calling. Call Katie Gerrets today.
