We recently sold our home and had the pleasure of working with Kane and Paulette. From start to finish, both agents provided top-tier service, demonstrating outstanding professionalism and communication that made the entire process seamless. Communication Style: Both Kane and Paulette were excellent communicators. They were proactive in following up, answered all our questions clearly, and responded quickly to any concerns we had, ensuring we never felt left in the dark. Market Knowledge & Preparation: Their knowledge of the local market helped us set realistic expectations and provided invaluable advice on preparing our home to stand out. We particularly appreciated the time they took to explain different sales methods, specifically helping us understand the advantages of selling 'by negotiation', which resulted in the best possible outcome. Kane’s Personal Approach: Kane is a thoughtful and thorough communicator. He is extremely perceptive, always reinforcing our own suggestions while offering expert guidance. He genuinely listens and possesses strong interpersonal skills, making him a pleasure to work with. Negotiation Skills: Kane put our interests above all else. He demonstrated this by proactively inviting competitor agencies to take their buyers through, intentionally creating a larger pool of competition. He ensured we secured the highest market price, along with an extended settlement date, all within just one week! Kane and Paulette are highly strategic professionals. We recommend them both to anyone looking to sell their home.

We had a very pleasant meeting with Sonia, thanks to a recommendation. We are grateful to have had someone with expertise and good advice. Sonia was always available and her communication skills are second to none. We are fortunate to have a very successful outcome which we put down to professionalism, supported by Lodge colleagues with open homes, and advertising. Impressive.

Bill's market assessment was exactly in the range we considered valid. He didn't oversell or over-promise and the sale process unfolded as he had explained. He kept us informed of progress along the way, particularly regarding the auction expectations. He is very friendly and open, and we never felt pushed down a particular path. This is the second time Bill has sold a property on our behalf and we will definitely use him again when the need arises.
