KARL VERMEULEN

Born and raised in the Eastern Beaches, Karl possesses an affinity and knowledge of the area that comes with being a local.

When the opportunity arose in the late 1990’s to turn a burgeoning interest for real estate into a bonafide career, Eastern Beaches was the obvious place to start.
More than a decade on and the Eastern Beaches remains at the core of Karl’s business. It is here that Karl has established an extensive and loyal customer base. It is in the Eastern Beaches that he has honed his knowledge of the New Zealand Real Estate industry.

Over the course of his 15 plus years in real estate, Karl has experience his fair share of booms, slumps and recovery cycles. It is the experience gained from being at the ‘coal face’ that makes him the best agent qualified to sell your home and/or invest.

Whilst the real estate market is anything but consistent, Karl’s commitment to providing clients with the highest level of service & knowledge has been unwavering. His high level of repeat business is testament to this.
