Tommy was super responsive and kept in close contact throughout the sale of my house. He gave excellent advice around the current housing market, pricing expectations and marketing options. I was recommended to work with Tommy by friends who noted his excellent knowledge of my suburb and speed of selling their house. Both these things were absolutely my experience with Tommy, I would highly recommend potential sellers to work with him.
Tommy answered all my questions about the property I have purchased. He was very knowledgeable about the area which is new to me. He was very informed about the surrounding properties in the close proximity to the one I was viewing.

Chris was honest and reliable agent to sell our home with, working with us to get the best outcome for our sale and also being realistic with the current market. We really valued his input throughout the process and would highly recommended Chris and Shane to anyone looking to purchase or sell their home. They are the best knowledgeable team to sell with in the area.
Shane was the perfect agent to sell our house, he had a buyer lined up before we even went to market resulting in an unconditional offer at the deadline! I found him very easy to communicate with, he’s very clear, thorough and his tips and contacts to get the house ready for market made the process really easy. He’s also been really good in communication with the lawyers between the offer and settling, as in the good service didn’t stop the day the offers came in. I’d highly recommend Shane and wouldn’t hesitate to use him if we were selling or buying again!
Shane was very open, honest, and informative about the property. He remained calm throughout and clearly explained the process at every step. He is hardworking and takes the time to ensure you fully understand everything, working alongside you rather than rushing you. Shane was very flexible with his time, making it easy to fit in with what worked best for us.

Chris provided an honest appraisal of our property, showing his excellent knowledge of the area and the market. He set expectations early on, and followed through with a quick sale which all parties were very happy with. Chris made the whole experience straight forward at every stage, always communicating at each step. We would highly recommend Chris and Shane to any potential buyers or sellers looking for a highly professional and experienced team.
Matt is very good to work with, kept me in the loop as to the progress. Very professional.

Tommy and I have been discussing the sale of my house for over 6 months and throughout that journey I have felt supported and had excellent communication around the pre go live process, during the sale process and after the fact. His market knowledge was very helpful in setting expectations around price, and he went above and beyond to get the sale over the line the day of the deadline working into the late hours of the night, and also negotiating more on my behalf. Tommy is indeed an absolute legend, in a profession that often gets a bad wrap, Tommy breaks the mould and is a genuine person who has the clients best interest at heart. It’s been an absolute pleasure working with you Tommy.
Professional, experienced and knowledgeable. Shane worked hard to obtain a sale on our Kelson home in a tight market. We were under pressure as we had a conditional offer on a house in Carterton. Shane's excellent negotiation skills got us over the line and we are now living in Carterton! We highly recommend Team Chris and Shane.
From the outset, it was clear that Matt is both passionate and highly skilled in real estate. As a first home buyer trying to navigate the process, I felt fully supported - Matt made everything seamless through his excellent communication and genuine willingness to help and answer any questions along the way. I’m so glad our paths crossed and I look forward to working with Matt again in the future.
