Team Phelps went the extra mile to achieve the sale.

Very pleased I had Owen involved as his past building experience helped navigate Council requirements with the right contacts to fix the issues that they raised. Exceeded my expectations with his efforts to assist with having the right people fix the issues as they came about. With able support from Kristin the team always kept me informed and I highly recommend them as your marketing agents .

Fantastic!

Simply the best. Exceeded every expectation.Wouldn’t hesitate to engage Owen and Kristen again or to recommend to others. As we were relative novices in selling properties their communications were pitched at exactly the level to enable us to make decisions. And always friendly they were a pleasure to engage with. Thank you both very much.

Totally on top of their game

They were in touch with the market and kept me well informed as to progress with the marketing. They were also on top with the legal requirements and needs of the contract process. I would recommend them to anyone.
