An amazing experience with Sarah and her team.

An amazing experience with Sarah and her team.

From the moment I contacted Sarah for an appraisal, she was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her communication was clear and prompt, and she has such an easy, friendly manner that instantly put us at ease. We were won over by her attention to detail, her thoughtful marketing approach, and the way she explained the best timing and strategy for bringing a property to market. I especially appreciated the detailed plan she provided — from photo dates to launch timelines to open home schedules. It gave us clear milestones to work towards and meant getting our home ready never felt rushed or overwhelming. Throughout the campaign, both Sarah and Simone (another fantastic member of her team) kept us fully informed. We received updates straight after every open home, followed by more in‑depth feedback within 24 hours each week. We always knew exactly where things stood and how the campaign was tracking. We did have a small hiccup when our first buyers weren’t able to meet their conditions, but Sarah didn’t miss a beat. She jumped straight into action and, the very next day, presented us with three stronger offers. We moved forward with one of them, and just five days later we were unconditional — and absolutely thrilled with the outcome. We were also lucky enough to work with Sarah on the purchase of our next home. She and Johnnie (another amazing member of her team) introduced us to a beautiful property in Bay View that we instantly fell in love with. They guided us through the entire process and turned what could have been a stressful experience into something smooth, positive, and genuinely exciting. We will forever be grateful for the incredible experience we had with Sarah and her team. Their professionalism, care, and dedication made all the difference.

Great professionalism!

What a pleasant experience buying my first home with help from Sarah and her team. At times some things were out of our control for timings and deadlines, being the purchase of the home was during the xmas/new years holiday period and lawyers etc were on holiday but Sarah kept a positive attitude reassuring me and giving guidance through the whole nerves triggering experience. Thank you Sarah for helping me purchase my dream home and your professional guidance along the way.

From Overwhelmed to Sold — Effortlessly

From Overwhelmed to Sold — Effortlessly

Selling our home after 16 years felt like a huge and slightly overwhelming step, but Sarah Knight made the entire process feel effortless. She brought a bubbly, positive energy from day one, paired with a high level of professionalism and organisation. It was clear she knew exactly how to approach the sale of our property, and her strategy gave us complete confidence. Elaine worked alongside Sarah during our open homes and was equally professional, friendly, and welcoming. Together, they made a fantastic team. As someone who was very out of touch with the selling process, I felt completely supported — Sarah and Elaine had everything under control from start to finish. We are incredibly grateful for their guidance, expertise, and the genuine care they showed throughout the journey. Highly recommend

Happy Sale

Having previously listed with both Ray White and Harcourts when selling another property, we only wish we had chosen Sarah and Jonny back then as well. From our very first meeting, their professionalism, marketing expertise, and strategic advice gave us complete confidence and put us instantly at ease. Throughout the entire campaign, no problem was ever too big and no question went unanswered. Sarah and Jonny were proactive, highly communicative, and genuinely committed to achieving the best possible outcome for us. Their attention to detail, strong negotiation skills, and ability to adapt when needed made all the difference. We are incredibly grateful for their hard work, guidance, and unwavering support — and most importantly, for delivering such a fantastic result. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sarah and Jonny to anyone looking to sell.
