Karena and Nicky were superlative in every dimension.

Karena and Nicky were superlative in every dimension.

Karena and Nicky as a team were seamless in their 24/7 coverage of vetting the numerous prospects, to the point we only received those people that were genuine, and therefore did not waste time as evidenced in the four conditional offers that culminated in receiving a successful unconditional offer. Both ladies were always contactable no matter the hour and were constructive in being responsive and not reactive in deliver an exemplary communication style. Karena's marketing expertise covered all mediums to the point we experienced both onshore and offshore enquiries that we did not get from the previous two agencies Harcourts and Bayley's. Nicky for her role of negotiator, left nothing to chance in best presenting our property and in managing the ongoing interaction with the prospects. Putting the desired outcome of a successful sale aside, we could not have been any happier on the journey Team Karena and Nicky took us.

We have been working with Nicky for a number of years and can confidently confirm she is the best realtor we have ever dealt with. Her absolute professionalism, deep understanding of the market, and constant availability at all hours of the day truly set her apart. Nicky's communication style and flawless reputation perfectly align with the premium Sotheby's brand. She provides the perfect balance of being deeply supportive while remaining highly professional throughout the entire process. We highly recommend her.

Fabulous communicator and great teamwork. Chris and Emma work so well together.

Emma and Chris worked tirelessly for us and their communication was exemplary. We were always up to date and knew exactly what was happening at all stages of the sale process. We were very impressed with the auction and the way that it was run, their negotiation skills and total professionalism. We would use them again in a heart beat!

Outstanding Agents Who Made Selling Our Home a Pleasure

Outstanding Agents Who Made Selling Our Home a Pleasure

Matthew and Lilly were absolutely brilliant! From our very first meeting, we knew they were the right people to sell our home. They guided us through the entire process, and we always felt they genuinely understood both our property and our needs. After 29 years in our home, we had a strong emotional attachment to it, and coming to terms with the decision to move on wasn't easy. Matthew and Lilly showed exceptional patience, understanding and empathy throughout the process, giving us the time and reassurance we needed. We shared plenty of laughs along the way, which made the whole experience that much more enjoyable. We honestly couldn't have asked for a better team to sell our property. We would highly recommend Matthew and Lilly to anyone looking for outstanding real estate agents who genuinely care about their clients.

Great agent, great communication

We can't recommend Joe highly enough. From the first meeting to settlement, he made selling our property a smooth and stress-free experience. What stood out most was the communication. He kept us updated at every stage, replied quickly to our calls and messages, explained everything clearly, so we always felt informed and never had to chase for answers. He is professional, knowledgeable and genuinely cared about getting us a great result. Thank you, Carol,

A great result in a tough market

A great result in a tough market

Both Matthew and Lillie listened to what was important to us, and acted on this. We never saw the magic they did behind the scenes with the purchaser to get the offer we were presented with, but it was only just a smidge off our dream purchase price - we are incredibly happy with the result.

Complete support with excellent results

I have worked with Emma for two home sales and am looking forward to the next one. Emma’s professional, experienced and friendly handling of my sales let me relax through the entire process. I felt that I was in such good hands I could enjoy preparing my open-homes and going through the auction processes completely supported. Emma is an expert in her field. She is inspiring and calm and deals with every step elegantly and with humour as well. I absolutely recommend Emma to everyone who wants a satisfying selling experience with excellent results!
