Tessa Karauria

Business Development Manager and Team Leader

Tessa is known for her ability to approach every situation with an open mind, always remaining respectful and finding the best solutions for her clients and tenants to create mutually beneficial results. She enjoys dealing with people and the fact that property is an incredibly diverse, fast-paced industry where no two days are the same.

Tessa is a dedicated mum and raising a family has taught her a thing or two about dealing with people and the all-important art of negotiation! She is able to read situations and people with ease, balancing compassion and kindness with strength and firmness when necessary. She knows good negotiation skills usually mean avoiding creating problems and instead creating win-wins.

In her role as team leader for the property management team, Tessa provides invaluable support to the wider team, leveraging her experience and expertise to ensure smooth operations and exceptional service delivery. Certified with her Level 4 Property Management certificate and as a REINZ accredited Property Manager, she believes in leading by example, guiding the team with a blend of professionalism and empathy.

Tessa understands that the constant market fluctuations along with legislative changes facing landlords can be confusing and difficult for them to keep up with. That’s why she always has her finger on the pulse so they can rest assured that Tessa is ensuring they are adhering to the latest requirements and operating their property portfolio for maximum return at all times.

Tessa believes in working hard and goes out of her way to look out for her clients’ best interests, truly going above and beyond their expectations. She recognises that her clients place a great deal of trust in her and considers it an honour to take care of their assets. Backed by the considerable resources of Bayleys and the entire team, Tessa’s clients know their properties are always in good and safe hands. And when it comes time to cash up, Tessa can also assist to link people with the right Bayleys agent to offer a one-stop-shop service.

What can we say about Tessa Karauria, our Property Manager Extraordinaire. Tessa manages a number of rental properties in our Wanganui portfolio, and they couldn’t be in better hands. She is prompt with communication, efficient, effective, and her practical, can-do attitude is reassuring. Nothing we ask of her is too much bother, and the inspection reports are always thorough - not much gets past Tessa if you’re a tenant! We value the trusting relationship we have with Tessa. Thank you.

The Property Management team at Bayleys Whanganui are excellent. They take care of everything to do with my rental property, meaning I don't have to worry about a thing, knowing that it's in the best of hands. I would 100% recommend them to any landlord.

We had a scheduled property Inspection this morning and was just hoping you could pass on my thanks to Tessa. It's a bit of a stressy time at the moment, being the school holidays and having the kids home trying to destroy the house every 2 seconds, so I was in a bit of a grump when she showed up. But she was super easy going, friendly and relatable and fully put me at ease about everything, her attitude has honestly salvaged my mood for the rest of the day! She's both a credit to the team and her role as a property manager.

So far we at 61 Fitzherbert have no complaints and are so far happy with the service you provide on behalf of the landlord. We feel that the service and communication is very friendly and prompt. Yes I would recommend your service to friends and family. Thank you and Merry Christmas

Tessa has been great, I would have no hesitation in recommending her and the team.

The wonderful team at Bayleys Property Management are awesome. I found them compassionate, helpful & competent when I needed a rental (dog friendly even!) Ongoing I’ve found them responsive to maintenance issues etc, also fair and reasonable in regard to inspection times. As a renter I class them number 1 and should I require a property management team in the future to manage my own property I wouldn’t hesitate to get them on board. They’ve nailed the balance between tenants & landlords hence the 5 stars from me.

We have found Bayleys property Managers to be very professional and knowledgeable. They communicated extremely well with us and looked after our property whilst working professionally with a difficult tenant.
