This is the second home Kim has sold for me . Such an easy process being kept in touch with the necessary information, not just communication for the sake of it. Honest, realistic help with pricing using her market knowlege we achevived a great result .
In the beginning, everything about the sales process was explained clearly to me. The photographs taken in and around the house were excellent. The advertising in the various mediums was very effective. The Open Homes were conducted efficiently and I was kept up to date with a written report after each one. Adam explained the comments from each of the attendees and we would discuss their possible interest. Being unfamiliar with the auction process Adam helped me understand what I could expect and calmed my nerves on the day. The auction was a huge success; we achieved a great result. Adam was very professional and I would be happy to recommend him to anyone else wanting to sell their home.
Client liaison excellent. Consultation on all key marketing decisions also excellent. No faults with the reactive marketing strategy. Acknowledgement to Andrei in particular for personal attention, open home management and pursuit of prospective buyers. Brent & Katia also acknowledged in different roles. However, with hindsight, client market expectations set too high which influenced decision to sell in first place and first, best offer was declined. Not a criticism, simply a warning that, in a difficult market, sellers should be conservative in their 'bottom line' view of sale price, independently of agent assessment.
Nick and Nicole were both great communicators with excellent negotiating skills. They were both very responsive to any needs that we had. Would definitely use them again. Their professionalism and expertise is second to none.

We didnt realise our listing was being shared with all agents. Thought there would be one client then would wait for summer.
Katie is a superb real estate agent. We were impressed with Katie's communication right from the beginning to the very end. Katie was always friendly and personable, yet professional. She is very experienced in selling properties, and in particular had previously sold other direct-fix houses, which was helpful for our situation. Katie was 100% reliable, always answered our (many) questions promptly and accommodated our unique family situation. Katie went above and beyond what we would have expected, was very patient and thoughtful, and assisted with the various hurdles we had along the way. She did a great job of welcoming and communicating with all potential buyers when they came for open homes, or contacted her in other ways. Katie has very good negotiation skills, and worked really hard to get our house sold as soon as possible. Our family would not hesitate to recommend Katie to anyone selling their home. The other team members at Bower we dealt with were also pleasant and professional to deal with.
Colin & Justine were both great agents. They are both very professional but also very understanding, friendly and approachable. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.
