Professional, proficient, approachable

From the moment I met Julie I was convinced I had engaged the right person to handle the marketing and sale of my property. This was especially important for me as I returned to Australia before the property was officially listed. I was impressed with Julie's frankness and market knowledge. Her regular communications kept me updated and up to speed with how things were progressing. I have absolutely no hesitiation in recommending Julie to prospective clients. For her honesty, no nonsense approach, knowledge of the market, approachability and absolute professionalism I give her 12/10!!!

Wonderful to work with

I very much appreciated Julie's professional expertise and her thoughtful and personable nature as she went above and beyond to achieve a wonderful result in the sale of our parents' home. Julie worked incredibly hard for us, marketed the home beautifully, and efficiently coordinated the many appointments, Open Homes and follow-ups. She took time to communicate promptly to us all of the updates and ensured that we understood the process to enable us to make informed decisions throughout. I thank Julie for her outstanding work on our behalf and highly recommend Julie as an exceptional agent.

Julie was incredible, we could not recommend her any more highly.

Julie was such a pleasure to work with as first time sellers, providing clear and helpful communication and helped to keep things really simple for us. Throughout the whole experience we were always kept up to date with the latest updates, and received speedy replies to all of our many questions. Julie's breakdown of the market and her valuation of our home prior to listing helped to give us a firm and accurate idea of what to expect, and helped to highlight her insight into the market. Her lovely and friendly manner while maintaining her professionalism helped to make the whole process much less stressful. Her tips and guidance leading up to and during the auction helped to give us greater confidence in what was an unfamiliar environment. Julie was an incredible help to us, and we could not recommend her any more highly.
