We had very good communication throughout the sales process, and very professional service.

Through previous contact we had determined that Fiona was one of the few agents in our local area that we wanted to work with. She and her team have done a very good job in reaching a successful outcome for us.

Expert local market knowledge, great communication.

Strong lines of clear communication, answered every call/text either straight away or within a very short timeframe and we always knew what was happening and received reminders for open homes etc. The whole team is friendly to deal with, we wanted to house moved quickly and they delivered, they knew the neighborhood and priced the home right from day one and handled puchaser questions calmly and protected our bottom line. No problem too big or too small that they didnt get sorted immediately. Received an offer within within just three weeks. We highly recommend them to any buyer or seller.

A difficult sell, achieved with optimism and perseverance.

I found all of the staff at Team Connie & Mel to be incredibly polite, optimistic and perseverant. Mine was a very niche/difficult property to sell, but we got there in the end. The team employed good tactics with regard to changing the marketing approach in order to reach a broader audience and keep the listing fresh. They achieved a result that I was very pleased with, enabling me to move forward with the next chapter of my life.
