We had a great experience with Sara and Chris. They had good market knowledge and were practical in the approach. They covered a good range of marketing. The market was very slow when we sold, and Sara and Chris walked us through this to achieve a result which was less than we had initially expected, but reflected a slow market. It was a success to just get an offer at all. We would recommend them to anyone thinking of selling.
Sara recently sold our home. But that's an understatement! From the moment we saw the research and strategy they had in place to sell our house, we knew they were the agents for us! Sara, in collaboration with another Lowe & Co agent, Anita Corlett, organised everything for us, and made sure all was absolutely perfect in the shortest time we could have imagined to get our property on the market and showing it off brilliantly. They had great offers on the table within a couple of weeks of it being listed, much better than we could have expected in the current market and at the worst time of year for selling. I was actually overseas when we decided to sell, and I flew in to oversee things, but this was an absolute waste of my time as Sara and Anita were just all over everything! This was the least stressful house sale we have ever had, and considering we live the other side of the world, that is really an amazing achievement. We have friends who always sell their houses themselves, and grumble at the cost of agents. We felt like this, but being overseas had no choice. Now I am so glad we had Sara and Anita in our corner as I am absolutely certain any selling costs were more than outweighed by selling price achieved. They communicated with us regularly, gave us great information after each viewing, and absolutely made the selling process enjoyable and relaxed (I know... seems crazy!). We would not hesitate to recommend them.

Transparency and fairness are core to how RateMyAgent works. While it’s sometimes assumed that only positive reviews appear on our platform, that’s not the case.
Only clients involved in an actual transaction with an agent can leave a review. This helps ensure authenticity and prevents fake or anonymous feedback. Agent's have no control over what’s written - every review, whether positive or critical, is published and remains visible.
