Straight-talking, hard-working, lateral-thinking agent; exacting standards; compassionate heart.

Straight-talking, hard-working, lateral-thinking agent; exacting standards; compassionate heart.

From the 'get-go', Neal showed his massive experience in bringing our heritage 1880s property to the market. Missing the mark four years ago in a falling market, was tough for us all, but this time he succeeded at lightning speed, offering us an off-market listing with no marketing costs! And getting a price above RV. We appreciated the Sothebys style of management where qualified buyers are shared across agents; it was a real asset having an agent for the buyer and Neal for us the vendors. Excellent negotiation skills. Plus, Neal has a great gift for staging and takes pride in presenting your home as if it were his own.

Exceptional from start to finish

We were blown away by our experience with Kassie. Her knowledge, communication and attention to detail were all outstanding start to finish which was reflected in the swift sale of our property. We worked with Kassie to buy our section aswell as selling our home and could not be happier with her exceptional support throughout both processes.

Excellent and seamless experience!

Excellent and seamless experience!

I had such a great experience purchasing my new property from Kassie! I reached out to book in a private viewing of the property we ended up being successful in purchasing. From the outset, her communication was prompt, clear and very easy to manage. Upon meeting Kassie, she was extremely friendly and approachable- making me feel supported throughout the whole buying process. Kassie was only ever a phone call away when I needed something. Thank you so much Kassie, for your professionalism and for ensuring a smooth and positive transaction. I couldn't recommend her enough

Fantastic Real-estate Service.

Fantastic Real-estate Service.

"Damian and James from Sotheby's International Realty provided a fantastic service in selling my home from the initial valuation through to the final Sale & Purchase Documentation. I found them both to be very professional, diligent and thoughtful in their approach. They were straight up which I appreciated and open for negotiation on aspects of the sale. Damian and James provided great guidance and professional advice throughout the entire sales journey. I would definitely recommend them and Southerbys as an expert organisation to work with. In particular Southerbys marketing style and photography is outstanding."

Friendly and professional. Highly recommended.

Friendly and professional. Highly recommended.

We only had a brief meeting with Kassie as her colleague was our main contact. We found Kassie to be warm and inviting us into the property. She knew all the related information on the house, and we felt comfortable placing an offer and it being accepted, after just one open house viewing. Kassie helped us to move the settlement date with the Vendor which was really appreciated.

Grounded Professional with Excellent Communication, Process and Negotiation Expertise.

Grounded Professional with Excellent Communication, Process and Negotiation Expertise.

Kassie is a star. While you won't find Kassie's name up in lights, we can assure you she is an utter professional when it comes to selling property. Her process is thorough, her marketing eye exceptional, and her personal communication regular and appropriate. We had multiple interested parties, but the process identified our eventual buyer, the one who would in comparison to others, pay what our expectation was, and in the range that Kassie had appraised at the outset. Kassie nurtured the eventual buyers and us to an end result where all parties were happy. Thanks Kassie and the team around you.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Nicky

We bought a property from Nicky two years ago and were so impressed with her professionalism and warmth at the time that she was the obvious choice when we wanted to sell. She did not disappoint. We found her responsive, knowledgeable and supportive throughout the entire process. She went above and beyond to get us the best possible price even though the market is challenging. We would not hesitate to recommend her to others.

Damian and James provided excellent service during the sale of our home

Damian and James are experts in the Bluff Hill market, and this showed during the sale of our home. Having that local knowledge, combined with excellent professional service meant we were very happy with both the process and the outcome.
