A very good communicative result

A very good communicative result

These comments reflect on Carolyn Burn, not the company she works with/for. I bought a property advertised as a deadline sale. I do not do deadline sales as I consider them to be corrupt fictions of agencies. The advertising said unless sold prior. I told Carolyn of my intentions which was to make an offer in cash with a short deadline which would be my best offer. That was presented to the vendors. My discussions with Carolyn were open and after my own research I thought the offer was fair. If not successful it would be withdrawn after the deadline of mine. I also said any counter offers would most likely result in tearing up the contract. I realise agents have to represent offers which may have a counter offer so if it came back counter offered, I may just go back with a higher price if I didn’t tear it up. And that leads to nowhere. In short was the offer was accepted and the property was paid in full two weeks in advance of settlement date. Because of the very short time between the offer being accepted and payment. I did not want to go through the other contentious matter of paying an overly high deposit to the agency. The commission to them was settled at the same time. No double handling. This deal was closed quickly and sensibly thanks to Carolyn getting what I was attempting to do. Carolyn‘s good communicative skills between those intentions and the vendor who she represented well in closed the deal. So thanks very much, Carolyn. If I ever have dealings with this company again that you work under, I’ll only deal with you. Regards Barry Feickert

Top rate professional and personal service

Top rate professional and personal service

From start to finish I have been hugely impressed by the expertise, efficiency, responsiveness and care shown by Carolyn and everyone at Harcourts. Their knowledge of the market is outstanding and so we felt completely happy to act on their advice whilst we were navigating the process of selling our house in Picton. I have no reservation whatsoever in wholeheartedly recommending both Carolyn and Harcourts to anyone thinking of selling their house in this area. I would add that Carolyn has gone above and beyond the level of service/help I would normally expect from agent. This was particularly helpful to us in our circumstances as we were selling a property from overseas and the property we were selling belonged to my sister who had very sadly died. Apart from getting us over the line, we will always appreciate the kindness and sensitivity shown by Carolyn to us throughout the process.

A difficult time to sell but Brenda kept us grounded.

Brenda did her utmost to find a buyer and kept us informed on a regular basis.She was very professional and knowledgeable and helped us in a calm manner. It was not easy as the timing to sell was not the best but all came together for a good result.

Excellent Encounter

Excellent Encounter

After a less than enjoyable property transaction with another company we found Brenda. Brenda was even our Uber, we were parked up at the holiday camp and Brenda came and collected us and returned us later, all part of the service. The property we decided upon was not the one we went looking for, Brenda seemed to pluck it out as "I have another that might interest you" and although it stretched our buget we quickly realised it was the right one. I would have no hesitation in recommending Brenda for all your property transactions

Carolyn was very thorough and proactive which made the whole process easy. I was kept well informed throughout which ensured there were no surprises and we were able to progress through each stage with ease. Whenever I had a question Carolyn responded without delay and if she needed to get more information from elsewhere, she was very proactive about getting it. I am very happy to recommend Carolyn.

Brenda was good listener, knowledgeable, very professional, pleasant and friendly to talk too.

Selling your house is a very frustrating and stressful process but Harcourts made it as smooth as possible. The only quibble We have personably is after an open day in our case it was a Sunday, A quick message on paper to say how it went. It seemed like forever for the weekly letter from Brenda.
