Marketing our home with Lowe and Co with lead agent Clare Newton Smith

Marketing our home with Lowe and Co with lead agent Clare Newton Smith

In anticipation of putting our home on the market we went to Open Homes in Wadestown and adjacent area over the last two years. We thought two real estate firms stood out including Lowe and Co. and decided to contact both for preliminary discussions. The first was a presentation by Craig Lowe and we found this sufficiently persuasive to not look any further. We were impressed by the clear logical marketing plan outlined and his personality and signed there and then. The details of the plan were tailored to our home, the process described in detail and precise costing given. In the following few weeks the marketing was developed and it was during this process that we met Clare who proved very professional and pleasant. During the marketing Clare and others at Lowe kept in regular contact with detailed reporting. Seven offers resulted and we accepted an unconditional offer which was well above our expectations. Clare helped us liase with the new owners and supervised the post sale process with the same friendly professionalism.

Extremely helpful, friendly and very patient.

Being first home sellers, Clare helped us through the daunting process with patience and a smile. She was easy to deal with, prompt and professional. I would certainly recommend her to anyone planning to sell their house.

Tireless energy and professionalism

Clare is a fantastic agent as she is not only a professional who knows her market but she is a people person. Clare has an instant rapport with people and can easily engage with anyone. She is organised and follows up with all interested buyers, encourages open communication and optimises value for the seller. Clare is a supremely successful agent and we were a thoroughly happy recipient. Thanks Clare. I look forward to following your ongoing success.

Couldn't ask for better!

From the outset Craig, Clare, Shelley & the team at Lowe & Co have been fantastic. They explained the process and communicated with me every step of the way so I knew what was happening. They made a daunting and stressful task much easier for me with their professionalism, communication and friendly approach.

Above and beyond in every way, even advising on us on purchasing in another city after we'd sold.

Above and beyond in every way, even advising on us on purchasing in another city after we'd sold.

Right from the outset Clare provided us with expert advice and guidance, whilst never making us feel like she was pressuring us into any decisions. She gave us clear and realistic expectations of the current market, advice on how best to stage our home, and arranged staging and photography quotes for us. She kept us informed of the best marketing strategy, updating us regularly and answering all of our questions. She helped us to choose the best process for selling and made adjustments to account for a holiday weekend. Clare achieved the upper end of the price bracket we had hoped for, and kept the whole experience flexible and stress free. Even after we had sold Clare guided us through the auction process when we were buying in another city and helped us to obtain our dream house there. It was the first time we had ever taken part in an auction and we never could have managed it without her.

I am more than happy to sing Clare's praises

This is the second time I have used Clare to sell my property. I chose Clare because of her honesty and approachability she displayed from the first time I dealt with her. I was not disappointed the second time I asked her to act as my agent. Clare is easy to deal with and incredibly loyal. Not something I feel is always on offer in this industry. She's may have changed agencies but Clare is one of those people worth sticking with no matter who she works for!

Clare is an exceptional real estate agent!

Clare recently sold our house for us. We had the most wonderful selling "journey" with Clare; she is first and foremost a friendly and approachable person, she is also an exceptional agent who knows the real estate industry inside out. Clare kept us well informed throughout the process and reassured us when we needed to be patient! We highly recommend Clare, we are very pleased with the results!

Guidance from overseas

Guidance from overseas

We contacted Clare while we were still living in Australia when we saw a house we liked on trademe. She got back to us quickly, efficiently and was very helpful and friendly. We ended up flying to NZ that evening to look at houses the next day. Clare showed us around a number of properties in the area, price range and fitted the lifestyle we were looking for. This was all on extremely short notice (<24hrs) and on her day off too! After a whirlwind of a week, we bought a house at auction. Clare organised for us to bid via phone at the auction and also finding a mortgage broker. We couldn't have managed without her expertise!
