Communication skills are unsurpassed. Pleasant and direct with the facts. Expresses an in-depth knowledge of the market place and value for the dollar in property discovery and ultimate purchase. Negation is a ‘discussion’ with George. No pressure but a total reliance and expression of market comparisons and all aspects of purchase value. A total professional. Knows his market, client and how to craft a positive conclusion with the marriage of the two. Look forward to his skills again in the near future Capt FE Barker USN (Ret)
Great experience working with Brendan. He was professional, responsive and easy to deal with throughout the purchase. Communication was clear, the process was smooth, and we really appreciated his support. Highly recommended!

Kathryn has represented us both as vendors & purchasers. In both instances she worked tirelessly to get us the results we needed. She is 100% trustworthy & will always have your best interests at heart, not the mighty dollar! Kathryn has set the bar so high that we wouldn’t consider using anyone else in the real estate industry.

I bought a property Kathryn was selling. I found her to be very easy to deal with, flexible, kind and efficient. Furthermore the person who did the building inspection for me commented on how good she was to deal with. I throughly recommend dealing with Kathryn.
Chloe did an excellent job as our agent
I can thoroughly recommend Chris & Emma if you want agents who are dedicated to get a successful outcome for all.I was kept informed every step of the way which was a big plus for me being in the senior age group.You will not be disappointed engaging Chris & Emma of Sotherb'ys International Realty to sell your property.
Harrison kept in touch with us the whole way through , a perfect gentleman at all times. I would not hesitate to recommend Harrison to all Buyers or sellers! Great experience! I felt Harrison had a very good knowledge of the market, prices etc Very happy to negotiate, always kept in touch. Very professional
Brendon showed us several houses .He had excellent market knowledge and was very good to work with.
Leeann was always positive and truly understanding of our desires and motivations. She listened, made suggestions and was led by us through all of the steps of our selling journey. Leeann made us feel as if we had a home that others would love and she was complimentary about how we had it set up. We felt that Leeann's confidence to find the right buyer played out as it went to market and sold in less than a month! Her knowledge of the market and the best time of year to take action was second to none. Post auction she swept into action and her skills as a negotiator were excellent. We would work with Leeann again.
I personally want to thank Rob and Anna for their assistance and complete professionalism in helping us to sell our property. They advised on the best way to prepare the apartment for sale and were realistic about the price we could achieve. Rob was knowledgeable about the market and was able to give us examples of what similar properties in the same area were selling for. He kept us informed every step of the way and went above and beyond what we would have expected of an agent.
