Let me introduce myself

With a career spanning over twenty years in sales and administration, Karen McRae is a go-to real estate agent in Mid Canterbury. Since joining Property Brokers in 2002, she has built a loyal client base of repeat clients who appreciate her emphasis on family values, trust and integrity.

Karen's prompt and professional communication style ensures a stress-free experience. Karen has a flair for making connections, and she enjoys that her role allows her to be part of a family's personal journey. Karen appreciates the value of building and maintaining strong relationships, and always puts her client's needs first. Her in-depth local knowledge, understanding of having a strong marketing plan, and carefully considered advice will help you achieve the highest possible price for your property.

Karen was placed in the Top 20 Property Brokers Agents nationwide for 2013-2014, 2015-2016, 2019-2020, 2020-2021, 2021-2022, 2022-2023, 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 years as well as Top Residential Agent for Property Brokers South Island for the 2010-2011, 2013-2014, 2015-2016, 2016-2017 and 2022-2023 years.

Having been raised on a farm near Hinds, she is rurally inclined, but she's also lived the city life of Christchurch and has been settled back in Ashburton for the last 30 years. This allows her to relate to home buyers and sellers from all backgrounds.

Karen is a proud mother of two sons - Cameron, who has followed in her footsteps, and is a Real Estate Agent, and Ryan Guppy, a Builder - both based in the Selwyn area. She also has two lovely daughters-in-law and is now delighted to be a grandmother to twin girls, Addie and Evie, born to Cam and Laura.

Karen enjoys the flexibility her real estate career offers, allowing her to give back to the community through her volunteer work with the Cancer Society. She regularly drives patients to Christchurch for treatment ad helps with various fundraising efforts. A particular highlight has been her co-ordination of the well-known Cancer Society fundraiser - Relay for Life.

In her spare time, Karen enjoys walking, spending time with friends and family and playing a round of golf. A much-loved addition to the McRae/Niles family is Indie, a dear wee Schnoodle who is thoroughly spoilt and adored.
