simple and good

Worked well - simple and straightforward process. Missed communications sometimes (i.e. when booked in visits were cancelled, we weren't told at times) but nothing critical!

Professional and Supportive Throughout the Entire Process ⭐ (my top recommendation)

I had a great experience throughout the entire auction process. Shelley was fantastic to deal with from the beginning professional, knowledgeable, approachable, and always willing to answer the questions. Her communication was excellent, and she made sure everything was clear and straightforward, which gave the confidence every step of the way. I would also like to thank Dene and the rest of the team for their support behind the scenes. Everyone worked together seamlessly to ensure the process ran smoothly, and their professionalism and attention to detail were evident throughout. The entire experience was well organised and stress-free, and I truly appreciated the time, effort, and support from everyone involved. Highly recommend Shelley and Dene to anyone looking for a professional, trustworthy, and dedicated real estate team. Thank you for making the experience such a positive one.

Fabulous Experience

Dene was marvellous to deal with and always received regular and positive updates - even if there were no shows at Open Homes Dene always turned it into a positive. Never once did he discuss dropping the price like I have experienced with other agents. With the house being in a Family Trust there was a lot more running around for signing of documents and Dene was only too happy to sort this. I would certainly recommend Dene to sell your home if you want an enjoyable experience. Thanks Deno for a great result!
