Recommendation for Katy Zhou and GBR Realty

Katy and her team at GBR Realty have looked after the purchase and/or rental of two units for our family.
Their service has been excellent, they work hard and are ‘on the ball’ at all times. They always respond quickly and helpfully to communications and have been quick to find tenants who have proved very stable and suitable.
They respond to any maintenance issues quickly, and Katy takes an intelligent and strategic view of her role, making sure to maintain good relations with tenants and well as looking after her owners, so that both participants feel their interests are being understood. This makes for a harmonious relationship and good care of the property.
Their fees are very reasonable, especially considering the high level of service provided.
I can happily recommend GBR, and indeed I have recommended them to fellow owners who are now also using their services and are also very happy with them.

Katy was fantastic to work with. I live in the remote NT and bought a property unseen in Cairns, which had it's challenges but Katy was able to provide all the information I requested and helped make it a simple process. I found her to be genuine and her willingness to assist me, continuing even after the property had settled, is something I really appreciate and am grateful for.

I highly recommend Katy to anyone looking to either buy or sell.

Katy, the owner and main agent at GBR is the BEST agent in Cairns. Don't go anywhere else. Katy understands Cairns real estate better than anyone else and her motto is that she makes 'THE IMPOSSIBLE POSSIBLE '!
We found her motto to be 100% true!

Katy helped me choose a house with her professional knowledge that perfectly matched my needs, and after three years of living here, that’s even more confirmed that it was the hundred percent correct choice. Buying a house, especially a first self-living home, is such an important decision for most of people. I am so lucky to have Katy’s assistance and highly recommend her expertise to other buyers/sellers❤️

Katy organised every details when I could not visit my own property due to COVID restrictions. Once she even checked up the property at 10:30pm to prevent a potential water leakage. With her help, the property was well presented to the market in the shortest time.

Katy did a great job from all aspects of the selling my property. It was a rental property of mine that she looked after with great care, then when the time came to sell, she went above and beyond. From the moment I listed my property, she provided me with all the extra service I needed to get the house fixed and ready to sell for the best price. I am located in Melbourne, so all of her efforts were very helpful and I couldn’t have done it without her, especially with the current situations

Katy could not have worked harder for us in our property sale. After many agents had viewed our property and promised to get the price we wanted Katy matched us with the right buyer for a successful sale. I would confidently recommend GBR Realty for your real estate needs !

Katy was great to deal with in our recent purchase of a property in City View. We were doing a back-to-back sale and purchase which required someone to keep their eye on the ball. Communication was speedy and accurate. A real pleasure to work with Katy on this one. Five stars.

Testimonial From Another Happy Seller

Mine was investment property with a hardball non co operative female tenant. She made open home inspections a nightmare for Katy when she allowed us to have them. Tenants have rights, but in our case this 1 had too many & she exploited them ALL. Katy remained professional in her dealings with the tenant who demanded she remain present on ALL inspections. The property took a while longer to sell due to being tenanted but the end result was worth it. Thanks Katy.

Testimonial From Another Happy Buyer

We are delighted to write a recommendation for Katy Zhou of GBR Realty not only because she was absolutely magnificent in getting us the house of our dreams; she is a truly dedicated and professional realtor.

We lived interstate when we began searching for homes within the Cairns area; so it was important for us to find and deal with agents who had not only outstanding local knowledge but also ones who were flexible in their approach for how we could "virtually" inspect homes since we were not able to be on the spot physically due to Covid restrictions. Katy was able to bridge the distance gap seamlessly and her communication and professionalism throughout our "looking" process, really helped set her apart from the rest and made us feel confident in the property she was representing.

But what impressed us most about Katy was her dedication to both us as buyers, as well as to her clients, the sellers she represented. Even as negotiations were heating up, we ALWAYS felt confident that Katy was working hard to get us each to the best possible outcome.

She even helped the couple who sold us this house to finish moving out some of their last items! And that may sound amazing but that's typical of how we've come to see her; as someone who goes above and beyond the role of a professional's duty of care and we admire that from Katy.

Once again, thank you Katy for your help in getting us our forever home and for helping your sellers get settled happily into their new downsized life. For all these reasons, we would strongly recommend anyone to consider selling with Katy in her service area.

She knows the FNQ market well. She was dedicated until the end, despite a few setbacks due to legal issues and coronavirus state lockdowns which caused delays in the sale. Besides her many years experience living, working and raising her family in FNQ, she has expertise in dealing with Chinese-speaking market and community.

We recently purchased a property in Redlynch through Ms. Katy Zhou. Katy is a warm and friendly lady who has excellent knowledge in real estate industry and excellent communication skill. She helped us to find the property which best satisfied our needs. At all times, she responded very quickly to any enquiry we made. Katy and her team also provided us a brilliant after sale service. We are very happy with the result and would not hesitate to highly recommend Katy.

It was a first time for us to buy a house, everything's new to us. Lots of paper works and needed to organise. But Katy took time to explain for us. She is friendly, helpful and patience as well.

Glad the house we loved was looked after by Katy.

My Husband Chris and I signed up with Katy Zhou and Col Hancox at GBR Realty and exactly 1 week after signing up with them, we received an offer which we accepted. Col was in contact with us all the way through from beginning to end. Chris and I were very happy with the outcome. We will certainly be looking at using GBR Realty again and would definitely recommend them to our family and friends.

Katy Zhou of GBR Realty recently sold our apartment in Trinity Beach. When we first met Katy, it became clear that this lady is a dedicated, hard worker. She has a bright and honest personality and we felt completely comfortable with her appointment as our agent. It was no doubt that this agent was working on our behalf. Our first buyer changed her mind at the last moment due to family problems and Katy worked hard to find another. This buyer was difficult but Katy persevered to accomplish our sale. To anyone in the Cairns area, I would thoroughly recommend Katy Zhou of GBR Realty. We have sold a number of properties and we would rate Katy Zhou as the best agent we have had. Thanks to Katy for everything. We would happily speak with anyone who is considering using Katy Zhou of GBR Realty.
