Craig and team offer a fast, professional sales service, assisting with everything from initial appraisal to preparing the property for presentation, open homes and sales. They know the market and provide no-nonsense advice on how to get the best result for our property. We appreciate the straight-talk, efficiency and effectiveness of their approach - they simply make the whole process easy. We've used them before and we'll use them again!

We would like to express our great gratitude to Yvenna and Craig, who are dedicated, committed, trustworthy and professional. Their caring and thoughtful for clients are truly amazing. What a sensational service and success. Yvenna and Craig and their team are beautiful people and a wonderful team! 😊👍🌟

Craig appears to have a good vison of what home suits different individuals. Knowing Craig, i had no hesitation in using Team Yvenna and Craig to market my home. Professional in their work having been in the game for a long period of time. On two occasion visiting at night to explain things rather than over the phone. Was given good advice when negotiating for a no fuss outcome. Thanks Team Yvenna and Craig from Lodge Real Estate.

We had an outstanding experience working with Yvenna and her team (Team Yvenna & Craig) in selling our investment property. Having dealt with several real estate agents in the past, we can confidently say that this team stands out as one of the most professional and capable we have ever worked with. Their performance throughout this process has been nothing short of exceptional. What impressed us most was their strategic approach from day one. As soon as the property became vacant, the team immediately began planning and executing a clear marketing and sales strategy. Despite the uncertainty in the current market — including global instability and rising fuel costs — they remained confident, proactive, and highly organised. Within just three weeks of going to market, the property was successfully sold at auction on the first attempt, achieving a result we were very happy with. Equally impressive was how accurate the initial price appraisal was, which gave us confidence right from the beginning. Throughout the campaign, communication was excellent, and every stage was handled with precision and professionalism. The team provided clear guidance, managed all details seamlessly, and ensured we were well-informed and comfortable with each decision along the way. Selling property can easily become stressful, especially in a challenging market, but Yvenna and her team turned it into a smooth and well-managed process. We look forward to completing settlement, and we would have no hesitation in recommending Team Yvenna & Craig to anyone looking for a results-driven, reliable, and top-tier real estate team.

I’m very happy with the amazing job Yvenna Yue did in selling my second property. She made the whole process smooth, clear, and stress‑free, just like the first time we worked together. Her communication, dedication, and efficiency really stand out, and she delivers great results every time. I’m grateful for her hard work and will definitely be working with her again.

From the start, Eric was professional, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated to helping us find the right home. He was always happy to answer our questions, gave honest advice, and made the whole process much easier. We’re very grateful for all the support and would happily recommend him and the team to our friends!

Yvenna and her team are highly organised, they provide excellent communication throughout the process, my sale was secured within a matter of weeks, and they worked extremely hard for me. I would have no hesitation in recommending Yvenna.

It’s a privilege for Homes For Living to be associated with Yvenna & Craig. They are trusted professionals and we highly value their advice and we continue to build our trusted brand with them as close a close valued partnership. Thank you both

Craig and his team were fantastic throughout the entire process of selling our home. Communication was always clear and professional, and they made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. Their knowledge of the market, attention to detail, and genuine support gave us confidence every step of the way. We’re so grateful for all their hard work and would happily recommend Craig and his team to anyone looking to sell their home.

We had an excellent experience with Craig & team. We were initially listed with another company but switched to Lodge after failing to sell after 3.5 months. Craig was very approachable, and his team was efficient and effective with communication. We were kept up to date with upcoming open homes + private viewings, who had been through, and the feedback from each prospective buyer. He also personally helped get the property looking in top condition when he first took over the listing and with troubleshooting issues right up until settlement day. He provided useful advice when presenting us with offers. Should have gone with him from the start!

As we were selling our property in Hamilton while living outside the area, it was important to us to find the most reliable and professional real estate team to manage the process. On the recommendation of a family member—who had recently sold her Hamilton home through Craig Annandale and Yvenna Yue at Lodge Real Estate and had done extensive research—we chose to work with Craig and Yvenna. We’re very glad we did. From the outset, Craig and Yvenna’s team demonstrated exceptional professionalism and outstanding communication. We always felt that our best interests were their top priority. They kept us fully informed through regular weekly updates and group chats, ensuring we understood every stage of the process. Their guidance and support were invaluable, especially given the challenging market conditions at the time. The team’s strong local connections with tradespeople and home stagers also made preparing our property for sale seamless and efficient. We would wholeheartedly recommend Craig and Yvenna and their dedicated team—special thanks to Paula for her hard work—to anyone seeking a top-tier real estate team in Hamilton. Thank you to the entire Lodge Real Estate team for your commitment, professionalism, and hard work in successfully selling our property and helping us move forward with the next chapter of our lives.
