Simply an awesome team to work with

My journey wasn't exactly simple due to a few unforeseen hurdles. This team all worked together to ensure we got a good result in the end. The marketing was excellent and the photos and video looked awesome. They were professional, and provided relevant advice. A fun group to work with as well! Overall I am really happy with the result and recommend them to anyone buying or selling.

Great real estate agent

Great real estate agent

Cory was the agent of the vendor, and we bought the house. Cory was very knowledgeable about the rural property and he was very available and helpful. Always answered his phone and answered any questions promptly - e.g. sending us maps of storm water drainage. Sometimes we've been to other open homes and the agents there haven't known a lot about the actual property - and had to refer to a piece of paper when asked basic information. His communication while we were making the offer was really good too. He made the process really easy. Thanks Cory!

Excellent communication

Excellent communication

We are pleased that we engaged Andrew and Cory to sell our lifestyle property. Communication was effective throughout the entire process and we were kept informed of progress through weekly updates and periodic meetings. We do however feel that the initial AML process is not fit for purpose, again Andrew and Cory helped us navigate this painful process. We would have no hesitation in using Andrew and Cory again if the need arose.
