A great buying experience

Mel is a genuine, warm and personable agent; traits that can often be lacking from her peers in the market. As buyers, we found her to be incredibly helpful, an excellent communicator and an expeditious facilitator when it came to negotiations. Text messages and phone calls were responded to promptly and requests handled very nicely with no air of ‘too hard basket’ or pressure from her side. From start to finish we found Mel to be a pleasure to deal with and a breath of fresh air in the real estate market.

Highly recommended

We needed to sell our property in St. Heliers, and as we hadn't sold a property in the area before, we knew we needed to find a good Real Estate Agent. After reading through the various Agent profiles, Mel's profile stood out as someone who was local, knew the area well, and more importantly, was plugged into the local community. After meeting up round the property, Mel produced an appraisal report advising on the best method of sale, likely price range, and estimated time on the market. We signed on with Mel, and she then organized the advertising, staging, photography, and timelines, all very efficiently. The reno work took a bit longer than expected, and Mel's advice in delaying the campaign until after Easter was invaluable, as was her take on whether to go ahead with the campaign given the recent crisis in the Strait of Hormuz. When the advert went live, we were very happy not only with the quality of the pictures, but also Mel's video of the home - it was excellent. With the property having sold successfully pre-auction, we cannot recommend Mel highly enough for her warm, professional manner and advice during the campaign.

No nonsense professional

I am extremely pleased that I engaged Murray and his team to sell my home. Murray is a no-nonsense professional who got the job done, with excellent communication throughout the entire process. He was patient and empathetic, showing a genuine understanding that selling a home is not an easy experience. The office team went out of their way to assist wherever they could. I am incredibly grateful to everyone involved for achieving such a quick and successful sale.

A calm, professional team we trusted completely

From the very beginning, David and Victoria were amazing to work with. Warm, professional, calm, we felt completely supported and knew we were in great hands. Their communication was always clear and consistent and we really trusted their guidance throughout. This was such a big move for our family and having a team we genuinely trusted made all the difference. What could have been a really stressful time actually felt smooth and manageable, we were never overwhelmed. David, Victoria, Amber and Michelle worked really well together as a team. Proactive, organised and so easy to deal with. They were always positive, approachable and nothing was ever too much trouble. We never felt rushed or pressured and we always knew they had our best interests at heart and were working hard to get the best outcome for us, which they did. They made the whole experience feel calm and clear from start to finish. We’d absolutely work with them again and I’ve already been recommending them to friends and family. A huge thank you once again, we’re really grateful.
