Polly is a great communicator kept us in the loop throughout the process, and presented us multi offers within the first 2 weeks of the house being on the market. The whole process was seamless and we will definitely be working with Polly again in the near future.

We recently contacted Polly about potentially selling our property, and have been blown away by her knowledge, professionalism and support as we have moved through the selling process with her. She has made the process seamless with clear and regular communication, in depth local market knowledge and warmth and sincerity we have been so grateful for.

Polly made what we thought would be a daunting task of buying our first investment property so easy and stress free. We consider ourselves so lucky to have brought a home through her.

We cannot fault both Polly and Chris at BeReal Estate. They were honest with our expectations, regularly communicated feedback and are both very down to earth, which we feel contributed to the sale of our house. 100% would use their services again.

BE Real Estate made the sale of my property a very easy and stressless experience. From the first day on the market to the day in which the offer came in I was kept well informed of all options and procedure to the sale. Chris and Polly were absolutely brilliant to deal with, the way my home was marketed was very professional. I certainly recommend BE Real Estate.
