We would highly recommend Linda, nothing was a problem.

Linda kept us informed on every step of the listing process and followed up with a phone call after every viewing. Her local market knowledge was invaluable and set us up with clear expectations from the outset. Overall we had a very positive experience and a very happy to reccomend Bayleys and Linda Riordan

Nothing less than awesome

From the first contact, before seeking an appraisal, I knew my property was in safe hands. Clear communication, and a plan from the start on how to achieve the best results made it an easy stress free sale. Leanne, Dave and crew took care of everything from start to finish and everything in between including some unexpected visitors 😂 I would recommend these guys to anyone in need of a realestate agent and wouldn’t hesitate to seek there services again.

Great to work with

We first sought Nikki and Gareth's advise for an appraisal on our home. They did this willingly knowing we were considering a private sale to someone we knew. Their clear communication and willingness to assist was clearly evident from the outset. When we then decided to list our home they were very easy to engage, had great ideas on how to list, advertise and display our home to get the level of sale the home deserved. Advertising and photos were outstanding and they had potential buyers viewing within a couple of hours of listing. Nikki and Gareth certainly saw the potential and their knowledge of the local market, the best approach to market the property and timing of the sale had an offer on the table the next day. Communication with us throughout the process could not have been clearer and made the process of knowing when potential buyers were coming through and feedback from viewings easy for us.
