Complete care and confidence

Complete care and confidence

Chris and Emma worked as a team to sell my townhouse. They made me feel completely taken care of through the whole process, while being consistently positive and encouraging. I honestly felt like I didn’t need to worry about anything because they were so good at competently managing each step and communicating these to me. I knew they were generously looking after potential buyers at the other end as well. I was free to focus on preparing my home for open homes, and searching for my next property, instead of being bogged down in the details of selling. The feeling of being so well taken care of means a-lot to me, as a solo parent. Due to Chris and Emma’s exceptional work as well as the high end presentation that Sotheby’s offers, they achieved an excellent sale result at our auction. I experienced a smooth, enjoyable process with a great result and so highly recommend them both.

Worked hard for our sale

We cannot recommend Rod and Catherine highly enough. From the very beginning, they were professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to achieving the best possible result for us. What really stood out was their willingness to go the extra mile throughout the entire process. They kept us informed every step of the way. Their attention to detail, excellent communication, and dedication gave us complete confidence that our sale was in the right hands. I have to say selling can be a stressful experience, but Rod and Catherine made the process smooth and straight forward. Their hard work, expertise, and commitment ultimately helped us achieve a fantastic outcome. If you're looking for real estate agents who truly care about their clients and will go above and beyond to get the job done, we would highly recommend Rod and Catherine.

The most outstanding agent in Canterbury

The most outstanding agent in Canterbury

Sarouen was simply a lifesaver. She inherited our house from another agency, and selling it was never going to be easy. Sarouen not only managed the sale of the house but the house itself - she would often do tasks that were not really expected of her but if it presented the house better, nothing was too difficult. She is an excellent communicator and is very honest but always positive. She is a hard negotiator and genuinely wants what is best for her clients. She understood the mental load I was under with selling the house and took it upon herself to totally manage the property for me so that I didn't have to do a single thing. Most of all, she just cared so much for our circumstances and wanted nothing more than to help us move onto the next chapter. I simply could not have coped without her and if you have her as your agent, you can count yourself very lucky. She will be in your corner. This is by far the best experience I have ever had with an agent and if I were to buy or sell again, Sarouen is who I would go to!

Art genuinely cared for Mum and made a huge effort to ensure all our family was regularly updated.

Art genuinely cared for Mum and made a huge effort to ensure all our family was regularly updated.

Art is an excellent communicator and genuinely cares about his clients. He has good market knowledge and is highly professional. His recommendations were fair and he was focused on our needs. Art was particularly good at ensuring the house was well prepared for the marketing photography and videos, and for the Open Days. He was polite and considerate about when Open Days or Private Viewings were being scheduled. I would highly recommend Art to anyone considering selling their property with Sotheby's.
