A true professional who always went the extra mile to make the sale go through smoothly.

A true professional who always went the extra mile to make the sale go through smoothly.

Nik was always very responsive and communicated quickly and effectively. He made himself available to assist with letting in tradesmen and well as potential buyers. His advice to paint, recarpet and generally freshen up the place was invaluable. The suggestion to use the professionals at Smart Staging was really the icing on the cake and we can confirm that it was their furnishing the house to such a high standard that created a lot of interest and ultimately assisted in securing the sale. Nik has experience and knowledge that took the stress off us wondering what to do next and made the makeover seemless. He took on little jobs like sourcing an exit cleaner and giving them access out of hours when we were working on a tight time frame. He did everything he stated he would do and all the open homes were on time, well patronised and Nik reported back as soon as they were over each time. We were selling on behalf of an aged parent and were not anywhere near the location of the house and Nik kept the tradies to their timetables and everything flowed. As we were frequently unavailable due to hospital visits and in the middle of the sale process, the death of my parent we were very grateful that Nik just ran the marketing campaign for us. He was empathetic but never let up on being in the right place at the right time whenever he was needed. We are truly grateful that he took on this project and it had a very successful outcome. He comes highly recommended as an excellent Barfoots Real Estate agent.

Excellent service throughout the entire Sales process.

Excellent service throughout the entire Sales process.

I chose Drue after a careful selection process across multiple agents. His energy and clear communication were exactly what I needed to hear. His knowledge of complex issues and of the local market are excellent. The property I had for sale was not straight forward but Drue and his team reassured me that every hurdle would be overcome. He has a can do attitude and not once did he push back on any reasonable requests I had. I really appreciated Drue’s honesty and constant communication. Drue and his team achieved the result I was after in a reasonable timeframe, in a soft market during winter. I would have no hesitation in recommending Drue and his team. Great job Drue and all the best for the future!

Clear answers and practical support throughout

Clear answers and practical support throughout

We had a very positive experience working with Nik on our property purchase. He was always available, responsive, and patient throughout the whole process. We especially appreciated his openness and honesty — he disclosed everything he was able to disclose, which helped us feel informed and confident when making decisions. He also shared useful contacts and professional recommendations that made it easier to assess different options and move forward. Whenever we felt stuck or unsure about the next step, he provided clear options and practical guidance rather than pressuring us. His support, knowledge, and calm approach made what can be a stressful process much smoother. We would happily recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a property.

Nik has great communication skills he is clear and straight up. He also has great networks of trades people who are reliable and get the job done. We were out of town, and Nik sorted some of the issues we weren't able to through his contacts. Nik is a great asset to those he sells houses, his attitude gets it done. Thank you

Kathryn knows her stuff and the results she achieved for us proved this.

Having never sold at auction before Kathryn made this journey a stress-free and enjoyable experience. She made things clear when needed and kept us updated and fully informed of the process. The response generated from her marketing was exceptional, proving she knows her market and just where to pitch at. Thank you, Kathryn, for the pleasing result and your easy-going caring manner, it has been truly appreciated by us.

Reassuring and Honest

Drue gave me honest feedback on getting the house ready for sale and was very supportive. The market was in a rough place, down on the past and I had moments of panic and anxiety about the sale. Drue always put my mind at ease and listened to my concerns.
