Fantastic Real-estate Service.

Fantastic Real-estate Service.

"Damian and James from Sotheby's International Realty provided a fantastic service in selling my home from the initial valuation through to the final Sale & Purchase Documentation. I found them both to be very professional, diligent and thoughtful in their approach. They were straight up which I appreciated and open for negotiation on aspects of the sale. Damian and James provided great guidance and professional advice throughout the entire sales journey. I would definitely recommend them and Southerbys as an expert organisation to work with. In particular Southerbys marketing style and photography is outstanding."

Damian and James provided excellent service during the sale of our home

Damian and James are experts in the Bluff Hill market, and this showed during the sale of our home. Having that local knowledge, combined with excellent professional service meant we were very happy with both the process and the outcome.

Fully explained the process and achieved the best presentation of the property.

Damian offers a professional and stressless experience in what can be a major life discission. His knowledge of how to present a property and get the best market exposure is invaluable. We were left with a confidence that the sales process would be best in class and fully supported by a strong team.

We first met Damien when we were looking for an investment property. He was a breath of fresh air compared to the disengaged disinterested agents we had dealt with prior. Engaging Damien to sell our house was no-brainer and he didn’t disappoint. Great outcome. Great agent. Great guy.
