Whenever I needed help or guidance Nikki was there for both of us. We are so thankful for her support, thank you again so much Nikki for everything we cannot express how grateful we truely are 🩷
I first met Hariett at an open home where I was a hopeful bider. Though I was not the successful purchaser on this property, Hariett continued to pursue something that she knew I was looking for. Hariett kept me informed of other properties listed with Bayley’s and properties coming on board. Hariett has excellent communications, and dedication to her role whilst not being overally pushy or invasive but giving just enough to always want me to look further. She knew what I was looking for, why I was looking, and for how much, hence keeping me informed of potential properties that met my brief. As a result, I had a trust in Hariett, that whenever she sent me something to review, I would take a look. Far from some agents who would just mass email me anything, Hariett took the time to consider my personal requirements and purpose. Eventually she hooked me up with with the perfect home, in the right area, within the price range specified. Her follow up since, messages to say ‘hi’ and happy holidays is lovely. A pleasant and vibrant personality whilst remaining high functioning character is a credit to her endeavours within the real estate industry. Many thanks Hariett!
Harriet’s enthusiastic approach to everything she does was invaluable for us as first home sellers. From staging the home to the photos and descriptions on the sale listings she catered to our taste while ensuring it was professional and approachable. Harriet’s understanding of the finer details of sale helped to make the whole process really easy for us, she was able to explain to us in layman’s terms some aspects that were initially quite tricky to get our heads around. We couldn’t have asked for a better agent to help us with this milestone. Thank you for everything!

Bronwyn is so lovely. She supported us through selling our mums home which wasn’t easy for us. She is always straight up and realistic, and the sale was smooth and fast. My kiddos enjoyed her company too, and her cute little dogs 😆❤️
