Excellent agent with very professional approach

Very friendly and easy to work with. Tony guided us through the process, selling in a difficult market. He offered sound advice but never pressured us into any decision we were not comfortable with. He kept us all informed of market trends in our area and of all open home and viewing activity

Professional, Supportive and Great to Deal With

We had a really positive experience working with Team Shirley-Nicole when purchasing our new home. From the first time we viewed the property, she was friendly, professional and very easy to communicate with. They were always patient with our questions and took the time to explain things clearly, which was especially helpful as there were quite a few things we wanted to understand before making our decision. Throughout the whole process, they kept us updated and were quick to respond whenever we needed anything. They also helped coordinate communication between us and the vendor and made the process of working through the details much easier. We really appreciated their professionalism and patience, without ever feeling pressured to make a decision. Buying a new home is a big decision, and having an agent who was helpful and reliable throughout the process made the experience much more comfortable. We are very happy with our new home and would definitely recommend Team Shirley- Nicole to anyone looking to buy a property.

A successful sale!

Selling our home with Michael Chi recently was a flawless experience from beginning to end. In the beginning he showed a depth of knowledge about the Mellons Bay area and what made properties achieve their potential, based on his experience appraising and selling many similar properties over the years. Through the pre-sale and sale process he displayed a calm, professional and friendly manner with easy and prompt communication. He used his extensive contacts to organise a second round of photographs at short notice on a weekend - trying to find a blue sky, sunny day in July. Fantastic support and feedback throughout the open homes period. As sellers, we always felt Michael was on our side. On auction day, Michael was instrumental in negotiating with the potential buyers and achieved a great result in a difficult market. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Michael Chi - he is a great professional and a gentleman in the truest sense of the word.

A very capable Agent willing to go the extra mile to assist.

Angela demonstrated strong and accurate market knowledge and was very professional in her dealings with us. She clearly has strong negotiating skills as a result of her long experience in the agency field. She is also well connected to people in related fields who could be called on to assist in the sales process eg finalizing CCC where one didn't exist.
