Demetria is awesome!!

Demetria recently helped us purchase a home and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Communication was one of her strongest qualities. She was highly responsive, always quick to return calls, emails, and messages, and kept us informed throughout every stage of the process. We never felt we were left wondering what was happening or what the next steps would be. She helped us make informed decisions with confidence. Throughout the entire process, she was professional, organised, and trustworthy. She handled every detail efficiently and made what can often be a stressful experience feel much smoother and more manageable. We would highly recommend Demetria to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. Her responsiveness, expertise, and dedication to her clients truly sets her apart.

Prompt, clear, and reassuring

Maria & Mike from Luxe was fantastic to work with. They provided excellent advice on preparing me & my home, leading to high interest at open homes. Their communication was superb, keeping me informed every step of the way. Despite a challenging market, together they secured a great price, and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again

Professional negotiator who is an advocate for the seller

Mike and the team at Luxe are fantastic to deal with. He brings a refreshingly honest and practical approach to achieving a sale, and communicates clearly with all parties to deliver the best possible outcome. His extensive database of clients significantly widened our reach when marketing our property. He also engaged with buyers well beyond the local area, resulting in several offers from outside our region. From the outset, Mike provided an accurate estimate of our property’s value. He helped us understand its appeal to buyers (as well as what didn’t!), and advised on what improvements would make the biggest difference. He then tailored the sales and marketing strategy accordingly, and utilised his strong negotiation skills to achieve a great result in a challenging market. Mike is charismatic, well-connected, and genuinely driven to secure the best outcome. He treats you with respect throughout the entire process and is a true advocate for both your property and your goals. I couldn’t recommend him more highly to anyone looking to sell their home.

Dan did a great job selling our house in challenging market.

Dans experience really helped in this process. Knowing the market, understanding what buyers need to see and hear are the insights that Dan offers. Perseverance is important in a slow market, Dan continued to work for us and provided good advice which ultimately got us to a sale we were very happy with.
