I had the pleasure of working with Coy Zhao on the sale of my property, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the whole experience. From start to finish, he was professional, proactive, and fully committed to achieving the best possible outcome for me as a homeowner. Communication was always timely and clear — every update, market feedback, and potential buyer’s response was shared promptly, which gave me confidence and peace of mind throughout the process. Coy Zhao also demonstrated excellent negotiation skills and worked tirelessly to secure a very good price for my property. What impressed me most was the way he managed the relationship with my tenants. With patience and respect, Coy Zhao ensured smooth coordination of open homes and viewings, which made the whole selling journey stress-free and efficient. Thanks to his dedication, professionalism, and expertise, the entire process from listing to final sale was seamless and successful. I am truly grateful for Coy Zhao’s hard work and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for an outstanding real estate agent.

As first-time sellers, we were overwhelmed, but Coy demystified the entire process. He spent 3 hours with us explaining each step, recommended cost-effective staging tips that made a huge difference, and negotiated expertly after the inspection. Under current competitive market, Coy’s strategy was brilliant. He priced our home strategically to attract maximum interest, we got 30 groups open home visit within 2 weeks, which resulted in 4 offers in one weekend. We felt informed and confident throughout! His negotiation skills directly put more money in our pocket.

Claire was very thorough in her research and processes on both the property and the buyer side. While we did not achieve the price Mum was hoping for it was probably not possible in the particular circumstances, which became apparent while the house was on the market. Claire provided great support at every stage of the process, always keeping things moving and helping with anything we needed. She is a great relationship builder with both a steely resolve and beautiful presentation. While we did not see this, I imagine her follow up and buyer support was equally thorough, to ensure there was maximum competition in the final stages of the sale. She brought colleagues to a number of key meetings in the process, which was helpful. Claire was very cognisant of different family dynamics and Mum’s situation and move to a retirement village during the sale. At times we felt somewhat pressured to take a course of action or decision, particularly around timing, but as soon as we made our preferences clear for more time Claire adjusted and we moved forward. No detail goes unnoticed with Claire, which we valued, along with her care for our family home and our mother during this difficult time.

We had a great experience working with Claire. As everyone knows, buying and selling a house is never an easy task. From the beginning she was refreshingly frank, open and easy to deal with, which made the whole process feel very straightforward and comfortable. She kept us well informed at every stage, was always accommodating of our needs, and never once felt pushy. Her calm, genuine approach made a big difference, and we’d happily recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell.

We engaged Paul to sell our home after a chance conversation in the neighbourhood. He had excellent local market knowledge, and we felt very comfortable with the plan he set out for our home. As we progressed the housing market hit a couple of roadblocks through the external pressures of U.S/Iran. Paul took this in his stride and helped us navigate the challenges and presented a couple of options and strategies to deal with the change. We sold within a timeline that suited our next move, and Paul was instrumental in delivering this outcome. I highly recommend Paul to anybody who wants a transparent and well-planned process. Thank you.
