Kath D Cruickshank

Family comes first. Whether it’s her real family, her work family or her family of customers, you’d be hard pushed to find a more loyal sales consultant than Kath. Arguably unparalleled in her rich real estate experience, Kath Cruickshank brings a huge 24 years of skills and knowledge to the hoamz team. Having started no less than three successful firms during her real estate career, since diving headlong into the industry in 1989 Kath’s been on a one-woman mission to provide the best experience for her clients. And by all accounts, she’s succeeded. Pages of testimonials from clients tell a story of an agent who really cares and wants the best for people. A self-confessed workaholic, Kath’s always available for her clients and has won many awards for her committed service. Kath’s well known locally not only for her real estate credentials, but also as the warm welcome behind Frankton’s ‘On the verge’ café. The locals’ favourite saw industrious Kath baking up a storm and meeting friends new and old alongside showcasing some of Queenstown’s most desirable property in her neighbouring agency, Frankton Real Estate. Having earned a well-respected position in Queenstown real estate, she’s chosen to come back home – to hoamz. As one of the founders of Southern Lakes Real Estate (hoamz’s former name), Kath worked with the team in 2003 and is delighted to be back among familiar high-performing faces. With the backing of her hoamz family, she’s ready to step back from being a business owner and focus on what she does best – helping people to buy and sell property. Dynamic Kath manages to combine business with pleasure by working alongside her children, all of whom are experienced real estate professionals. An expanding brood of grandchildren keeps Kath busy outside of office hours, along with a passion for music that’s shared with the whole family. After a lengthy and rewarding career in the industry Kath shows no signs of slowing down – the twinkle in her eye tells you that she’s enthusiastic to stay in real estate for a long time to come. We applaud you, Kath! Testimonial

I used Kath Cruickshank to sell my rental property in Frankton. I could have used any agent in Queenstown, but I knew Kath would be the right person to go to. I am living in Melebourne now, and Kath made it so stress free for me. My property sold within ten days. Kath is very professional, experienced, honest, and reliable.

We have known Kath Cruickshank since 2006 when we purchased a property in Frankton. When we decided to sell it was done in a friendly professional manner and sold very quickly. Kath is a kind friendly person who is very honest, therefore we would have no hesitation in recommending her in any real estate matters in the Queenstown and Lake District.

Kath Cruickshank has recently sold our property for us, of which we were very pleased. We found Kath honest, up front and responded to any of our requests in a very timely manner. The service we found to be well above what was required, and would certainly not hesitate to use her again or recommend her to anyone else.

Kath I just wanted to thank you for selling my property in Frankton a couple of weeks ago and for helping me buy a new property just blocks away from my old house. I was told that you were the local real estate guru for the Frankton area and now I know it's true. I guess having been a local for so many years has given you the true knowledge of the area and the trends of the market and prices. Anyway thanks so much for making everything so easy and for all your extra work in getting 2 deals put together in such a short time, a sale and a purchase in 3 weeks!

You helped us with the sale of our Bob's Cove property and did such a good job we looked you up when it was time to sell another property - this one in Frankton. Your advice was spot on and just shows that local knowledge is really valuable in any market. You helped us get above our asking price and had 2 unconditional buyers within 5 days and that was way beyond expectations. I knew you are and have been the local expert on Frankton real estate and have your finger firmly on the pulse of all of the Wakitipu but especially in Frankton. You also assisted us in the purchase of another property near Remarkable's Park and once again you put together a sale that both the vendor and ourselves were very happy with. As usual you worked hard for both parties to make sure everyone was pleased. What else can I say? Only that if we ever want to buy or sell again in Frankton you will be the agent we would use. We also consider you a dear friend now as well.

Kath was an absolute pleasure to deal with and professional in how she managed our house sales. Once we made the decision to sell Kath took care of everything. With her friendly, kind and helpful way she was prepared to work very hard for us and we appreciated the support. Kath made us feel like we were her top priority, always available and kept us informed throughout the sale. That personal touch ensured us we were in good hands throughout the process.
