Drew helped me buy my first home and made the whole journey feel so much easier. He helped me navigate everything from dealing with my lawyer and mortgage broker to getting things fixed around the house. I’m so happy with my new home and really grateful for all his help.
We had another great experience working with Nicole when selling 1/229 Glenfield Road. This was actually the second time we’ve used Nicole to sell a property, which says a lot about how happy we’ve been with her service. Nicole is professional, friendly and incredibly easy to communicate with. She kept us well informed throughout the entire process, was always available to answer our questions no matter the time and made the whole experience as smooth and stress-free as possible. We really appreciate Nicole’s knowledge, dedication and attention to detail, and we wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. We highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a reliable, professional and hardworking real estate agent.
We had a great experience with Nicole throughout the process of purchasing our first home. She was friendly, professional, and had excellent communication from start to finish. Her great customer service made what can be a stressful process feel much more enjoyable and straightforward. Overall, it was a really positive experience, and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!
David and Hannah were a pleasure to work with, from the start their market intel and knowledge surpassed those we had in tender. Communication was outstanding, always well informed and prompt. They were just exceptional through out the whole process, would highly recommend.
Vivian is an exceptionally dedicated and responsible real estate agent. Having worked with her on several occasions, I’ve always trusted her professionalism—but this time, the sales process was especially challenging and complicated. Vivian stayed incredibly patient throughout, kept us constantly updated, and never gave up despite all the hurdles. Her hard work, persistence, and commitment were absolutely instrumental in getting the property sold successfully in the end. I cannot thank her enough and truly admire her outstanding work ethic and dedication. I highly recommend Vivian to anyone looking to buy or sell property—she is simply excellent to work with!
David was incredibly honest, helpful, communicative and friendly, we have had some bad experiences with agents in the past so it was a breath of fresh air
Nic and the team were recommended to us by a friend who had recently sold. The property we were selling had some issues, in that it had not had a final inspection and CCC issued for building work carried out over 20 years ago. Nic had the knowledge and experience to arrange some remedial building work and get the CCC over the line with Council. Then the team used their deep understanding of the local market and potential buyers to target developers, and achieved an excellent result from a pre-auction offer. Nic and the team were responsive and helpful throughout the process, and I have no hesitation in recommending their services.
experience and low key approach appreciated
Good knowledge of local real estate market. Helpful and realistic about sale and determining how house would sell at this time
Working with Lily Zhang to sell my property was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Her communication style is excellent—she kept us updated at every step of the process and was always highly responsive to our questions. Lily demonstrated a deep understanding of the local market, and her strong negotiation skills helped ensure a smooth and successful sale. We highly recommend Lily to anyone looking for a dedicated, highly professional real estate agent.
