Smooth and professional

The 'Lugton Experience' was very professional, and successful! I am a Hamiltonian and went with Lugtons as they are a Hamilton business. Choosing an Agent to sell our home, initially I thought we would choose from the many agents who we have met over the years and are very good agents, however my friend, Sandra Buchanan said she and her daughter knew an Agent, Jamie Barakat, who worked for Lugtons, and he was very professional and successful. So Jamie Barakat undertook to sell our home. have a

Hardworking and Knowledgeable

Jamie is an extremely supportive, hardworking and knowledgeable agent. He is responsive, honest and always give sound advice, we always knew where we stood in the market. The weekly update reports are awesome and provide a great record of what has been going on that week, it's been nice to look back on things and see how the sale has progressed. We would 100% go back to Jamie for future real estate needs and would have no issue recommending him to anyone unsure about which agent to go with!

Jamie has been amazing (again!). So lovely, professional, keeps me informed but has it all under control. Sold my house in a really tough market - and was kind while I dealt with the emotions of the fallen market value. I do believe Jamie is the best!

As an ex agent myself I was very impressed with Jamie's listing presentation and market knowledge I live in Auckland and had no idea on Hamilton market when my father in law decided to come and live with us (he is 90) we entrusted Jamie to look after the Sale. His professionalism and compassion towards Kevin was outstanding ! Thank you Jamie and team I would highly recommend you to anyone wanting to sell !!!!!

Great service, Jamie was very professional, knowledgeable of the market and well experienced. Straight forward with communications, updates us regularly, replies to our messages promptly. It was a smooth process considering we were overseas! sale price was a bit below initial expectations because when we started discussing selling the market was up then it went down. We adjusted and priced it instead of auction. Jamie and Lugton managed to sell it quickly within our desired timing - which is fantastic.

Selling our first home with Cory!

Cory was an absolute legend to work with. We could not be happier with the way he lead us through selling our first home, it wasn’t always smooth sailing but Cory provided us with great advice throughout that process and got the end result we were after. Such an easy guy to talk to and communication was excellent! We’d recommend team Townsend to anyone looking to buy or sell. Thanks team!

A consummate professional

Our house proved to be a difficult sell because of location and a depressed market. However we always found Jamie very professional and he offered good advice on staging and marketing. He was always willing to have open homes and his commitment and that of his team, helped us achieve a sale.

Cory was recommended to us by a friend in Stratford. We wanted to sell our rental quick and we needed someone who was going to take on the difficult task, especially as we had a tenant. He was super knowledgeable in regards to way the rental laws worked as he owns one himself. This was amazing, as I could ask questions and he would give me honest answers. When it came to selling the house he wasn't sure about the area as there was nothing in the area that had been sold recently. He took it upon himself to meet with the tenant , explain the selling situation and come to an agreement, along with doing amazing videoing and marketing. I was super worried that we weren't going to have anyone come and look at the house. Our first open home went so well! I was soo surprised! We ended up with two offers and decided to go with the buyer who we thought would love our home in the end. Cory worked so hard back and forth with negotiation and getting quotes with us, he defiantly went over and beyond my expectations with the selling of our rental. The process was extremely quick and easy, just what I needed in these stressful times. The best bit was that Cory was sooo chill! Plus we could banter with each other, made the relationship between us worth it! I'd 100% recommend Cory to anyone selling their home or rental, he is worth the investment! Thank you cory for all your hard work.

Jamie came reccomended to me by numerous people who had used Jamie in the past. Could not praise Jamie enough for the work that he put into the sale of my property. Jamie was extremely efficient in his communication and had a vast amount of knowledge in this area, which put me at ease during this process. Jamie went above and beyond for advocating for me as the vendor to ensure my needs were met. I highly recommend Jamie and will continue to use his knowledge and skills in the future.

Cory was great to work with

Cory's communication skills are second to none. All the way through agent purchaser engagement process, Cory replied to and keep me updated on all questions that I needed answering. His professionalism cannot be challenged and was a pleasure to work with. His communications were always prompt and there always a genuine approach to working with the purchaser. Cory will go a long way as a trusted real estate agent.
