“Some people dream of success, while others wake up and work hard at it”

Karen's market knowledge was excellent; she provided all the expertise and updates we sought. We knew the outcome would be achieved, as Karen did not get sidetracked; she stuck to the mission and did not give up. Brands don't sell homes; people do. I would highly recommend Karen to manage the sale of your property. Thanks, Karen.

I was very pleased I chose Karen Parkes as the real estate agent to sell my home. Karen was very knowledgeable especially as she has been in realestate for many years & also living on the Mornington Peninsula. So this gave me confidence that she would sell my house. I was able to call Karen any time & she was always very helpful if I had any queries. I would definitely recommend Karen & her staff at One Agency Peninsula to assist with selling their home.

From our first meeting I had great confidence in Karen Parkes & One Agency Peninsula. I felt at ease with Karen's honest & sincere manner. Karen's knowledge of the area was terrific. Karen was patient, listened to all I had to say and answered all questions honestly - anything she was not sure of she got back to me on, in an efficient time frame. I was very appreciative of Karen's assistance with getting a broken window fixed. Genuine people to work with I would highly recommend Karen & One Agency Peninsula.

Hi Karen, I just wanted to sincerely thank you for all the advice and effort you put in to getting my property ready for sale and then on the market.

We had the pleasure of dealing with Karen as the listing agent for our property in Reeves st Blairgowrie. ONE of the reasons we chose Karen is because she has excellent knowledge and understanding of the Real estate market on the Peninsula and in particular, Blairgowrie. Karen's communication, dedication and professionalism was truly remarkable , so much so we were happy to give her a second listing. Both sales were very successful, and we highly recommend Karen Parkes if you are selling.

We spent 6 months down on the Peninsula searching for our dream property. After spending countless hours online, travelling from Melbourne each weekend to view properties and speaking with agents, we couldn’t quite find what we were looking for. Upon meeting Karen at an open inspection and discussing our profile, Karen immediately understood our needs and was able connect us to the property that ticked all our boxes. Being first home buyers, Karen provided us fantastic guidance through the entire process. Her experience and knowledge of the Mornington Peninsula was reassuring and helpful for any unanswered questions we had throughout our buying experience. I highly recommend Karen and regard her as a trusted friend.

Hi Karen, We would just like to say that we were very happy with your efficient service in selling our house in Blairgowrie in November last year. Thanks for keeping in touch (with no pressure) with us on a regular basis over the past few years because as you know we had difficulty in making up our minds about selling and as you know we had always promised you the sale. Cheers Andy and Gayle
