Fiona clearly understands the market very well and is very good to deal with due to her effective and genuine approach. Her response to a last minute glitch was excellent and it was very quickly resolved.

Team Horne - professional, attentive and results driven

We chose Fiona Horne and her team to sell our family home and couldn't be happier with the outcome. The team was professional and attentive throughout what has at times been an emotional experience. Their guidance on the right marketing strategy and their communication during a short campaign played a major role in achieving a fantastic result. We highly recommend Team Horne.

5 Stars for Team Connie and Mel

The service we received from Team Connie and Mel was five star, Mel presented a very professional approach and strategically engineered the marketing to obtain exceptional results with a sale within the first week of launching. Which is an exceptional result given the current sluggish market. Thanks so much.

Mel was knowledgeable, reliable, and a joy to work with—made the process smooth and stress-free.

Working with Mel was an absolute pleasure. She really knows the market and gave great advice that helped me feel confident every step of the way. Her understanding of the local area and current trends made a big difference throughout the process. Mel’s communication was always clear, timely, and honest. She kept me in the loop without overwhelming me with information, and was always quick to respond to questions or concerns. I never felt out of the loop or unsure of what was happening. What really stood out was her professionalism. Mel is dependable, organized, and clearly cares about doing right by her clients. She made what could’ve been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. I’d absolutely recommend working with Mel—she’s knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely a pleasure to work with

Selling a house the easy way

Dealing with Connie Cawood and Team Connie and Mel has been a 5 star experience. Starting with explaining the process in a clear and concise manner, giving us a clear understanding of the whole selling process. To giving us a clear understanding of what we could do to improve our chances of a successful sale and giving us a list of very competent people and contractors to help that happen, who got and presented the house in a fantastic manner. Right through the process we were kept updated with great feedback adding up to a successful, hassle free sale.

Steve has been diligent in his research and always helpfully with any queries. He has been available whenever needed and always positive and cheerful. He always took the time to explain clearly what was needed and what was happening with patients and humour. We always deliver we’re in good hands. He has been critical in making this move possible.
