Michael Hinds has sold two properties for me now and I really couldn’t recommend him more highly. The first, in a challenging market, sold in seven days, which was frankly miraculous at the time. That in itself is a testament but it’s his manner of working that really impressed me. He works tirelessly, is generous with his time and doesn’t treat anything as a rush or a transaction. He genuinely cares about his clients and I got the feeling he really cared about me and my family. He was patient, calm, respectful, completely reassuring in the way he dealt with an older client. Above all he is professional, even in testing situations. Michael is empathetic, measured, and principled, taking the high road at all times, and is always on hand to offer calm, considered and wise counsel. His ability to calmly unpick complexities, without adding to the stress, is a very special quality. Michael is very astute in the market but also a very decent human being. He is hardworking, principled and completely focussed on doing the best for his clients. If you want someone that is not just very good at what they do but is also one of the good guys, Michael is your man.
I was selling my father's house and approached a few agents for appraisals. Alexia stood out immediately above the rest: her appraisal was considered, polished, thorough, and she explained everything clearly. She was very respectful of my father's situation and his affection for his house, in which he'd lived for 40+ years (he had just moved into a rest home). Alexia focussed on the property's strengths and marketed it well, resulting in plenty of open home visits and enquiries. My father and I were both very happy with the final result. Her dedication and enthusiasm were much appreciated. I would 100% recommend Alexia to anyone selling their property.
Jodie took great care to learn what my husband and I were looking for. She never rushed us. Her knowledge of the market and being able to see the potential in each property really helped us feel we were making a great decision. The day we made an offer she was so calm and poised and that really made us feel the same. We absolutely felt taken care of through the entire process.
